How to reduce hip fat?
First of all, let’s understand what do we exactly mean by hip fat.
The outward area around hips where fat accumulates is generally regarded as hip fat. When the consumed calories exceeds the burnt calories, this hip fat along with the overall body weight start to increase.
But it’s not always because of the unhealthy lifestyle. In case of women, they tend to have more fatty lower body i.e the region near hips and thighs have more accumulated fat as compared to men as the lower body supports the abdominal region or the mother’s womb in pregnancy. But does that mean one can never be in shape ?
Well, fortunately that’s not the case.
Men or women, the tips given below can help any of them to reduce hip fat and achieve their desired body shape.
Foods to avoid
Avoid eating pizzas, pastas, burgers and food having high quantity of sugar including pastries, cakes, sweetened drinks and artificial fruit juices. Avoid too salty or too spicy foods or snacks. Also avoid any kind of processed foods, the ingredient might be healthy but the processing makes it harmful for your health. For example: boiled potatoes are healthy but chips and French fries are not. Similarly, rather than having a packaged apple juice, you can simply choose to eat a apple. This can be little unpleasant for your taste buds but does not come at the cost of your health, rather these alternatives are much healthier and better.
Food tips to follow
Food tips to follow: Eat a lot of fruits, drink plenty of water, try having protein from a lot of sources, be picky in selecting your cooking oil and also the quantity used, instead of eating plain white rice and white bread, eat brown rice and brown bread, have whole wheat grains.
