| Monounsaturated fatty acids | Olive oil, nuts, deep-sea fish | Regulate lipoprotein lipase activity | 20-25% calories |
| Fermented food | Kimchi, kombucha, natto | Improve intestinal flora and reduce fat storage | 50-100g/day |
| Polyphenol foods | Green tea, blueberries, dark chocolate | Inhibit pre-adipocyte differentiation | 3-5 servings per day |

4. 3 key dietary principles
1.Sugar control is preferred: Studies have shown that if you add sugar to more than 50g every day, the rate of fat accumulation in thighs increases by 2.3 times. It is recommended to replace stevia and erythritol.
2.Eating time window: Using intermittent fasting at 16:8 (such as eating at 8 am to 4 pm) can improve the efficiency of thigh fat decomposition by 27%.
3.Nutrient ratio: Carbohydrates: Protein: Fat = 4:3:3, lower limb fat reduction is the best (2023 study conclusions of the International Journal of Obesity).
5. 3 types of foods to avoid
| Food Type | Specific examples | negative impact |
|---|---|---|
| refined carbohydrates | White bread, cakes, cookies | Causes insulin resistance and increases thigh fat synthesis |
| trans fat | Non-dairy creamer, margarine | Causes inflammatory response and hinders lipolysis |
| High salt food | Preserved foods, processed meats | Causes water and sodium retention and increases thigh circumference |
Combined with the recently popular "vertical diet" (diet designed for specific parts), it is recommended to combine 30 minutes of targeted thigh training (such as side lying leg raises, squat jumps) for 30 minutes a day to achieve more significant results. The data showed that the diet + exercise group lost 3.2cm more thigh circumference than the diet alone group (12-week data).
