Many people ask me how to lose weight around the thighs and butt, most of the time ‘fitness knows everything’ these people advise to walk a lot or jog slowly as it is best for burning fat. .

While studies show that long cardio sessions are the best for burning fat, they are not necessarily the most effective for losing fat.

Carrying weight around your hips is an excessive production of estrogen, if you suffer from it then you should avoid long cardio sessions, these will also increase your cortisol levels, causing you to gain weight around your abdomen. Instead, you should do vigorous exercise (sprints) and weight training (resistance).

Choose organic where you can and be sure to wash all fruits and vegetables to stop pesticide / toxin intake. Cut down on alcohol, yes, this is a must – everyone trying to lose weight wants to stop using alcohol! Sometimes you can drink red wine, but not more than two units per day.

Increase the intake of cruciferous vegetables such as watercress, sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, kale; if properly digested, they will help rectify the imbalance, plus fiber, vitamins, and minerals are great for your overall health and well-being.

There are supplements that can also help; Remember that supplements should only be used to supplement what is already a good diet, these include:

A Good Quality Fish Oil – These have a multitude of benefits and should be included in everyone’s diet.

A good quality multivitamin – Everyone should take a good multivitamin

A diindolylmethane (DIM) supplement may be beneficial

Organic flax seed husks can help too

An example of a daily diet for people with excess estrogen may include:

Breakfast: omelette made with spinach and mushrooms (garlic optional)

Snack: 1/2 avocado with a handful of walnuts

Lunch: Chicken salad made with chicken breast, watercress, cherry tomatoes, spinach leaves, radishes, and sprinkled flax seed shells.

Snack: 1/2 avocado with a handful of walnuts

Dinner: roast turkey with sprouts, broccoli, parsnips, carrots

It is best to steam vegetables and make sure you chew your food well.

Switch to green tea and water.
