Effective Ways to Lose Thigh Fat

Definitely don't skip the first meal of the day since it'll jump-start your metabolism, helping to reduce your overall body fat to reveal your leaner legs. Pass on sugary, refined-carb meals, and opt for a combo of protein and fiber-filled complex carbs. The protein will give you energy, so you'll feel pumped for that early morning cardio workout, and it also helps build muscle. The carbs will sustain that energy and keep you feeling full. Here are some satisfying breakfast ideas.

• High-protein pancakes with banana cream sauce
• Apple-cinnamon quinoa bake with Greek yogurt
• These portable egg breakfasts are great if you're on the go — pair with an apple, pear, or berries
• Pear-berry weight-loss smoothie
