There is both bad and good news for the millions of women and men who struggle to rid themselves of the unsightly extra fat on their thighs. The bad news is that there are no special pills or exercises you can do that pinpoint the fat on your thighs. No matter how many commercials you may see that say the opposite you should know that it's just impossible. Yes you can build muscle in your thighs by exercising your thighs but building muscle and burning fat are not the same thing.
What about the good news? You can get rid of the excess fat on your thighs. The formula is actually quite simple. You must lower your body's percentage of body fat. The fat on your thighs cannot stick around in such a scenario. It will be defenseless! Of course then the question comes up of how exactly you lower your body fat percentage and the answer is to start a diet plan which forces your body to speed up it's metabolism so that it burns more calories so that your body melts away fat at a faster rate.
What kind of diet program boosts your metabolism? One which includes two very important factors. The first is that absolutely must include a regular "cheat day." What is this "cheat day" (or "day off") exactly? Well it's a day where you can literally eat anything you want and not go off your diet. In fact you must eat anything you want (that includes cookies) on this day for the diet to work most efficiently.
How could eating absolutely anything you want to once a week actually help you to boost your metabolism so that you burn fat faster? It's quite simple really. It's this regular "calorie spike" which forces your metabolism up because your body gets "tricked" into thinking it is getting more food than it needs. This is how you can "have your cake and eat it too!"
The second factor is that the diet you go on must not require any sort of food journal keeping or counting calories. This is important because diets of this type are doomed to failure because no one can ever keep up with it. Plus it keeps your mind on food all of the time and that's obviously not a good thing. Instead of choosing a diet which forces you to count calories, you should instead follow a diet which includes a simple list of foods that are considered "green light foods." In other words, foods that you can eat all of the time without worrying how much of them you are eating. Instead you just eat until you are completely full.
It's also very important that you do not try to shoehorn in a "day off" into a diet which does not have such a day "built in" as this will most likely backfire. You must start a diet that includes this "eat anything you want day" as a basic component of the diet program. - 15343
