WHAT CAUSES FAT IN THE INNER THIGHS?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

There are several different reasons why we store fat in our inner thighs.<\/p>\n

HORMONES –\u00a0 ESTROGEN<\/h3>\n

Women naturally have higher levels of estrogen. This hormone causes us to store fat in our hips, thighs and butt. This type of fat storage is especially common in puberty, pregnancy and in times of hormonal imbalances (such as low progesterone or estrogen dominance).<\/p>\n

It is within our natural biology to store fat here. It’s a survival mechanism – storing fat in these areas provides energy reserves for fertility, pregnancy and breastfeeding.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Research also shows that omega-3 fatty acids stored in hip and thigh fat are used by the body during late pregnancy and breastfeeding to support baby brain development.<\/p>\n

In short, your body is biologically designed to protect this area.<\/p>\n

HORMONES – PROGESTERONE CORTISOL & INSULIN<\/h3>\n

The following hormonal imbalances can all trigger more fat storage, especially in estrogen-sensitive areas like the thighs and hips.<\/p>\n
