Can any type of diet reduce thigh fat??
A diet or a decrease in body fat percentage through diet, should very likely reduce thigh fat. Once we are in a caloric deficit our total body fat percentages including thigh fat. But (and this is a but worth dwelling on), not always body fat that we manage to lose through dieting will necessarily focus on the area of the body from which we want to lose the fat. In fact, the location and amount of fat is mostly influenced by our genetics.
By the way, no specific diet, including ketogenic, intermittent fasting or veganism, has been shown to be more effective in reducing thigh fat.
What about physical fitness?
Physical activity is effective in reducing total body fat, including fat in the thighs. Aerobic exercises, such as running, cycling or swimming, increase the burning of calories and contribute to fat loss. Strength training, especially exercises that focus on the lower body such as squats, crunches and more, will help build the muscles, which will also contribute to a more shaped and shaped appearance of the thighs. In order to get optimal results, it is recommended to combine aerobic and strength training.
bottom line: A balanced diet together with regular physical activity that combines strength training and aerobic training will help shape and shape the body and hips. Although the ability to reduce precisely the fat accumulated in the thighs is limited, there is definitely something to be done to improve the general appearance of the area. In any case, it is important to make sure that the daily diet includes all the nutrients required for the proper functioning of the body.
