Shed pounds in Your Legs - How To Guide
1. Do NOT lift weights, do squats, or walking lunges, these will in fact Expand the problem.
Part of the reason why Asian women are so impressive at getting "stick legs" is because American health clubs and trainers are providing people with the wrong details regarding leg shaping.
The basic fact is that you do not want to do any sort of resistance training with your legs, particularly the powerful quad muscles that make up your thighs. Unless you would like to become a power lifter these movements only serve to fortify and build up muscle density in areas you don't want it.
Instead you need to follow the Asian model to good results: High repetition, low resistance.
To do it, pick either walking or biking, and do it three to five times a week on a Flat surface. No slopes, no sprinting. Just a standard level of effort that you can easily sustain for a half hour without becoming so tired you can't proceed.
Attempt to do it for 30 minutes at a time and after a few weeks you'll start to see your leg muscles actually thinning out, similar to a marathon runner or a competitive bike-rider (ever see Lance Armstrong's bird legs? Exactly!)
Please remember: No weights or artificial resistance, just repetitive walking and/or biking.

You got that right, the more water you drink the LESS water you retain, because your brain believes that you have sufficient water available so you don't have to store any for a serious event.
Salt is on the no-no list, to imitate its flavor in your meals try using lemon juice. It's a surprising taste substitute and of course properly healthy.
