Knowing how to reduce your thunder thighs and lose weight will help you regain your health and prevent illness. Your thunder thighs are not just unattractive in a bikini, they are also a health problem. Being over weight is just like having an illness, it is hard on your body and puts unnecessary wear and tear on your heart and veins. Many weight loss plans such as the one created by the Mayo Clinic will help you to balance healthy eating and exercise.

Step One: Commit your mind to losing weight. It is extremely difficult to lose weight and shrink your thunder thighs until you set your mind to it. Once you have dedicated yourself to do what is necessary it will be easier to lose weight. You cannot reduce your thighs without losing weight all over your body evenly.

Keep yourself dedicated to lose just one pound at a time, celebrating each step of the way.

If you fall off the wagon and do not stick to your plan one day, just keep moving forward with your plan. Do not let one mistake stop you from reaching your goals.

Step Two: Prepare your home for healthier eating. Clear out your cupboards, refrigerator, and freezer. Throw out everything that is overly processed, not in its natural form, contains partially hydrogenated oils, contains high fructose corn syrup, sugar, enriched flour, and a high sodium count. This will automatically eliminate donuts, junk food and soda.

Buy fresh vegetables, fruit, whole grains and lean meats. Yogurt, sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts and avocados are great snacks.

Make sure that you have plenty of healthy foods around you that are convenient and easy to eat. Every time you take a bite of junk food, just think about how you want to reduce your thighs.

Step Three: Eat healthy every day. Only put healthy foods in your mouth. Each meal should consist of 50% vegetables, 25% lean meat and 25% whole grain or starch. Foods that are high in Omega 3 fatty acids should be incorporated into your weekly diet.

Over time you will stop craving sugar, sweets and red meats. Initially it may be difficult to avoid them, but within a month or so, you will no longer miss them. You will need to cut out unhealthy foods to reduce your thunder thighs and lose weight, but you will gain a new taste for healthy foods at the same time.

Step Four: Exercise every day.

Monday: Work up to sixty minutes of cardiovascular activities such as walking, running, playing tennis, dancing or another activity that you prefer. You will need to work out a lot if you want to reduce your thighs.

Tuesday: Sixty minutes of cardiovascular activity plus thirty minutes of weight training.

Wednesday: Sixty minutes of cardiovascular activities.

Thursday: Sixty minutes of cardiovascular activity plus thirty minutes of weight training.

Friday: Sixty minutes of cardiovascular activities.

Saturday: Sixty minutes of cardiovascular activity plus thirty minutes of weight training.

Sunday: Sixty minutes of cardiovascular activities.

You will only do the cardiovascular activities that you enjoy. Don't try to force yourself to do things that you hate. Cardiovascular activities do not need to be strenuous. You can do low impact activities such as gardening, walking and dancing. All physical activity will help you reduce your thighs.

Weight training can be done in the convenience of your own home without pricey gym memberships or expensive equipment. Just use your own body weight to build your muscles, doing exercises such as pull ups, sit ups, push ups, lunges and squats. The more muscles you have, the more fat you will burn each day. Increased fat burning will reduce your thunder thighs and help you lose weight.
