• First you need to know that have to lower your body’s overall fat percentage in order to burn thigh fat at all. If you keep that fact in mind and follow the other steps, then it will be easy for you to get rid of thigh fat.

• Your metabolic rate is the key factor regarding weight loss in general. Stimulating your metabolic rate on a regular basis makes weight loss much easier.

• Overview the different exercises which allow you to boost your metabolic rate. Here are some great options: Power Walking, Incline Walking, Swimming, Rollerblading, jumping on a Mini-Trampoline, Climbing Machine or Circuit Training with weights.

• Test some of the exercises just mentioned and pick one you like. This will help you to keep your motivation level up.

• Perform your favorite exercise at least three times a week. Try to step up to 4 or 5 workouts a week. There is no need to practice for an hour or even longer. 30 minutes are enough to stimulate your metabolic rate sufficiently. For this reason you should rather perform multiply shorter workouts instead of only a few longer ones.

• Eat 5 portions a day. That’s important because every time you ingest food your metabolic rate is boosting a little bit. Therefore you should eat 5 smaller portions a day instead the usual 3.

• Avoid all high-calorie food. It often consists of a lot of sugar and fat. Avoid sugary drinks like lemonade as well.

• Read the ingredients of the products you buy. Eat healthy food like vegetables, potatoes, salad with a low-calorie dressing, whole grain products, low fat quark, low fat milk. Drink at least 3 liter of water.

The Pritkin diet was initially created in the 50s by Nathan Pritkin as a potential help for people who suffer from cardiovascular diseases. Later, Nathan Pritkin transformed the diet into a “weapon” against obesity.

The Pritkin diet may help you lose weight constantly, without suffering from side effects that usually appear on fast weight loss, such as the yo-yo effect or the lack of vitamins and minerals.

According to it`s creator, the foods are divided into “good” foods, “very good” foods, and “benefic” foods. The recommended foods are low in calories, very rich in vitamins, minerals, fibers, and water. Dieters may consume vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean meat.

The foods with high amounts of calories, high-carb products, and alcohol are strictly forbidden. For instance, those who want to follow the Pritkin diet should avoid pastry foods, fats, and processed products.

Pritkin also recommends that dieters reduce their portion sizes, and have a thirty minutes workout per day. Your daily diet should include whole grains such as corn, barley, oat, or millet.

It is indicated that dieters consume foods with high amounts of benefic carbohydrates before having a workout, so they have all the energy they need in order to achieve the best results.

Always ask for medical advice before starting a diet or a fitness program.

This important discussion was written by Dr. Ricardo Mejia of Jupiter, FL who is one of our recommended hair restoration physicians.

Before any woman with female hair loss proceeds with hair surgery, she should properly be evaluated for medical and other conditions that can mimic female pattern baldness. Be sure not to ignore this as I have seen many women have surgery only to find out later there was a medical reason for their hair loss.

I generally do not initially recommend a hair transplant for women unless they have had a proper medical workup. I found too many cases of underactive thyroid, low ferritin / iron and causes of telogen effluvium or shock loss due to other factors mimicking androgenic alopecia. I have also found two cases of diffuse alopecia areata, an immunological condition where the hair transplants would not work.

We deal with a lot of women and it is our standard practice to assure this is done. These are some of the basics. For a woman’s perspective on hair restoration results see below:

This question was posed by a female hair loss sufferer seeking hair loss help on our hair restoration forum and answered by  Dr. Humayun Mohmand of Pakistan who is one of our recommended hair restoration physicians. His professional answer is below.

Can you tell me what the difference between these two hair transplant methods are: Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT - Strip Surgery) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

FUE stands for follicular unit extraction.  In this hair restoration method, the surgeon extracts one follicular unit at a time with a punch ranging from 0.7mm to 1 mm leaving a small little mark.  The advantage of FUE is no linear scar, but scarring in the shape of small round pits.  Know that there is always a scar, but the visibility is different.  There is also minimal pain during the FUE healing process, though it’s significantly more expensive in some cases.

Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) or the “strip” method is where a hair restoration physician will harvest a strip of tissue creating a liner scar from one ear to other.  These days, most surgeons are using the tricophytic closure technique to minimize the visibility of the scar in most cases and if done correctly.  Many surgeons do the tricophytic closure, but their method could vary and hence so does their result.  It’s a bit more uncomfortable than FUE, but you can get it for a very competitive price.  There are either stitches or staples to be removed in 10 days time.

I've often noticed that my weight loss clients and friends who are overweight spend an awful lot of time thinking about food - planning what to eat, salivating over what they think they should not eat, giving themselves a hard time about what they ate and think they shouldn't have, talking about what they ate

And in contrast my friends who are slim just get on with their lives - they may plan what's for dinner but they don't often think about food until they are hungry (or until someone puts a chocolate cake before them - well, they are human too!) and when they've eaten they don't think about it again (unless it was a spectacularly delicious meal!)

In some cases, the slim friends have busier lives than the more overweight ones - but it's not always true.

So what is going on here?

It seems to me that the slim friends have a "set it and forget it" approach to food. They may have a vague idea what they'll have for lunch or dinner or a firm plan in place and when they get hungry - they eat!

The others eat more because thoughts about food comes into their head all day. It's a bad habit they have got into. When they think about food, they feel hungry even though they are not physically in need of food - and more often than not they give into temptation because they don't stop thinking about food until they do.

I have found three ways to deal with this obsession:-

The first involves getting 100% occupied and interested in what you are doing so that you get in a flow state where you don't even think about food. This is the ideal but it's difficult for most people to achieve when they have got into the habit of thinking about food too much. And to be fair, most of our lives are not filled with activities that are so very interesting!

The second involves not giving into food thoughts unless we are truly physically hungry (tummy rumbles required) and giving ourselves a task to do before we even consider  whether we are hungry again. It means not eating now "in case we can't get time to eat later". It means not fearing being a little hungry - it won't do you any harm to wait.

With the third solution, you eat whenever you like but you change what you eat. Give yourself permission to nibble all day if need be but keep very low calorie foods (such as raw vegetable sticks) on hand and all higher calorie foods under lock and key until meal times.

If you need to lose weight, try to use a combination of all three tactics so that you get out of the habit of

a) thinking about food all day
b) giving into food thoughts when are not hungry
c) eating lower calorie foods when you do give in!
