Too many women believe that all calories ingested with food is nowhere else, but it is on the hips. Indeed most of the fat accumulates in the first place there. How to lose weight from hips and find harmony with your body?

Genetic heritage

Before menopause a woman’s body stores fat on the hips, this is the type of figure is called a pear-shaped. It is these stocks thousands of years ago helped cave women to survive in times of drought and famine, besides in such difficult conditions, fat stores allow women to give birth and breastfeed children, and in fact during pregnancy and breast-feeding women spend at least 1,000 calories per day. It turns out that the formation of fat in the hips – the genetic heritage of our ancient ancestors.

“Genetic feature of body fat in the hips in women – one of the main reasons why most of the fat is so difficult to get rid of.”

There are two main types of accumulation of excess weight. For some people, it accumulates in the lower body, creating a so-called pear-shaped, in others the fat is concentrated in the abdominal area, and this figure is called “apple”. By the way, people with pear-shaped body, in this case, have a certain advantage, because, according to studies, the fat on the abdomen and hips, is a health hazard, because abdominal fat clogs in the arteries and into the circulatory system. But there is another side to the coin: It is difficult to get rid of the fat from hips than stomach.
