How to Lose the Fat on the Inner Thighs

Inner-thigh fat is one of the mysteries of the human body, and more often than we care to admit, an otherwise slim body can be plagued by fat between the legs. While reducing fat on target areas is impossible without the use of cosmetic surgery, there are a few ways to tighten and tone to lose the fat on your inner thighs.

Tips For You

1. Work on full body fitness, as the only real way to lose fat is to burn more calories and eat a healthy diet, even if those last five pounds are all found on your inner thighs. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, cut saturated fats and sweets and get moving three to five times a week for at least 30 minutes at a time.
2. Start weight training or choose exercises that target your legs and inner thighs. While strengthening and toning muscles will not help to burn fat in a specific area, overall muscle growth helps the body burn fat in general. Additionally, firm, toned legs will reduce the appearance of fat on the inner thighs.
3. Try thermogenic creams and cellulite gels that are thought to help break up fat cells for easier elimination from the body. These products must be applied with deep massage, and while results are questionable, they certainly can help to firm the skin and reduce the appearance of fat on the inner thighs.
4. Try minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion or laser treatment, which can help to tighten the skin. While these techniques can be pricey and must be performed by certified professionals, they can help to greatly reduce the appearance of fat and cellulite on the inner thighs.
5. Bite the bullet, and lose the fat once and for all by making a consultation appointment with a cosmetic surgeon to explore fat removal options. Make sure that you are clear on the alternatives, risks and benefits before you make a final decision.
