By Clayton Thomas

Do you want to lose that extra annoying flab on your thigh? It is possible, but if you think that you can lose thigh fat quickly with the help of quick weight loss pills or supplements, you are dead wrong! And if you thought that there is some special workout you could do to lose thigh fat, you are wrong again.

As a matter of fact, whether you want to lose thigh fat, belly fat or hip fat, there is no way for you to spot reduce fat. You must lose fat in ALL areas of your body. You cannot force your body to burn fat in one particular area or spot; your body would decide where to start burning fat!

Therefore, it only makes sense to do things that would help you burn fat from all parts of your body. Basically, you want to follow a healthy diet and do resistance training and cardio workouts! This is the only way to lose thigh fat, as well as all other body fat!

The diet you choose for weight loss is very important. Low-calorie and low-fat diets won't help you burn fat because these diets don't increase your metabolism! And starvation diets are extremely unhealthy, but more importantly, they don't work. Most of the time, you will just gain back all of the weight you have lost.

Far from boosting your metabolic rate, these diets actually slow down your metabolism! Here is how: with a low-calorie or low-fat diet, your body doesn't get enough nutrition. Consequently it believes that it is going to die out of starvation. It immediately stops the fat burning process by slowing down your metabolic rate, and stores the fat deposits so that it could survive during starvation.

With such diets, you will lose a few pounds initially for sure, but as soon as you quit them and return to your normal eating habits, you gain back all the weight you had lost!

So what types of diets are the best? Diet plans that include meals with fresh fruits and vegetables work very well because they encourage a balanced diet. Fruits and vegetables are not only great for burning fat; they are also extremely effective at suppressing those pesky cravings!

But healthy diet plans may not always have all of the best traits that a good diet should have. Good diets should allow you to cheat at least once a week. You can use these cheat days to eat whatever you want. You may be afraid that taking a short break from your diet will cause weight gain, well you'd be wrong. It will actually help you lose fat by increasing your metabolism because it keeps your body from getting stuck in a routine, which can slow your metabolism!

Apart from an improved metabolism, cheat days will also improve your dedication to your diet plan for the rest of the week by extremely reducing cravings for forbidden foods.

While a diet plan alone is enough for significant weight loss, many people try adding some intense workouts into their routines so they can accelerate the weight loss process! Strength and cardio training are the best ways increase weight loss. With strength training, you will not only burn fat, but you also add valuable lean muscle to your body.

Lean muscle not only makes your body stronger, it also helps you burn fat even while you're resting. As a matter of fact, you can easily burn around fifty calories per day with one pound of muscle, even at rest! This is because muscles need more calories in order to repair and maintain themselves.

Follow these two important tips and you'll be amazed at how fast you get rid of your thigh fat!
