Only targeted fitness exercises can help against nasty breeches and cellulite. A good exercise program in combination with a healthy diet is effective. If you cannot get rid of the love handles despite the effort, you can use a fat-away injection (Injection lipolysis) Think about which one will melt the pounds. Healthy eating, a targeted fitness program, the fat-away injection, or even plastic surgery can all lead to weight loss in the thighs.

Lose weight on the thigh with exercise
Exercise is the best option to specifically combat the nasty fat on the thighs. An effective method to build up the muscles in the right places is targeted strength training on the legs.

Lose weight on the thigh without exercising
If you want to lose weight on your thighs without exercising, you should definitely not go hungry. If you go hungry as part of a radical diet, you lose weight all over your body and as soon as you eat “normal” again after the diet, the risk of the dreaded yo-yo effect is particularly high. During a diet, the metabolism switches to the back burner, the calorie intake then suddenly rises sharply, and it uses the food, the "energy", in the form of love handles in order to be prepared for another bad time. This means that instead of dieting, one should resort to a healthy, low-calorie diet. If you want to lose weight without exercising, the fat-away injection can be an alternative to lose weight specifically on the thigh. The syringe allows the fat to melt quickly and for a long time, but the applications are relatively expensive at € 200 to € 450 per application, as several applications are often necessary. A massage with good creams or peelings with alkaline salt tighten the skin and make beautiful legs. Alternating showers with cold and warm water tighten the connective tissue and effectively strengthen the thighs.

Difference in losing weight on the stomach in women and men
Men and women were given different advantages and disadvantages in terms of muscles, adipose tissue and metabolism. Men have a higher percentage of lean muscle mass, which means that even when resting, more calories are burned than a woman. In contrast, women are better able to store fat in their bodies. Nature intended this so that women have reserves, for example for pregnancy and breastfeeding. Women have a higher percentage of body fat than men. Women put fat on especially on the hips and thighs. This is hormonal and also serves to prepare for a possible pregnancy. In terms of metabolism, women burn more glucose (sugar, carbohydrates) and less fat than men at rest. Women store body fat more easily than men and burn it differently. In addition, stress affects the female metabolism more than it does in men and at the same time blocks fat loss. This is why women tend to gain weight, especially when they are stressed. All of these points make it clear why women naturally lose weight less easily than men.
