How to lose fat from hips and thighs
Dietary changes–
Check the oil that you are using. Vegetable-based and olive oils are good for you. Cut down on ghee, butter, cheese, paneer and margarine.
Limit your carb intake. Restrict yourself while eating potatoes, white rice, sago, pasta and other products made of refined flours.
Use only skimmed milk and skimmed milk curd.
Give up on all the fried foods until you get that shape. Nothing will come easily. Avoid fries, pakodas, samosa, fried momos, chips, and other fried snacks.
Increase your fibre intake. Eat whole cereals, oats, broken wheat / daliya, brown rice, brown breads, fruits with skin and a lot of green veggies. If possible mix bran into your flour.
If you are a non-vegetarian and enjoy fish, you will love this diet. Eat fish upto 4 times a week. Bake it, grill it but don’t fry it. You can have other lean meats up to 2 times in a week. And egg whites for breakfast are a good idea.
2 tsp of Triphala churn, along with ginger water is excellent way to help you liver to break down fats speedily and effectively.
Cut the intake of wheat. Extra carbs always end of on hips and thighs. Include other cereals like jowar, bajra, and mix these flours with horse gram flour and soya flour.
Go very light with your dinners. A plate full of salad made out of veggies, sprouts, fruits along with soups will help. Fill in with a very small portion of brown rice or daliya. In short have a fiber and protein rich dinner and go low on carbs. Eat dinner around 7.30 pm and having a small walk after it will only add up to your goal.

Hi Malini ,
if you havent yet started any form of exercises , then dont start with stair cimbing dierectly . first start with 30 mins walk on plain ground , do this for a week , and then you may shift to stair climbing . stair climbing is a bit tough to do for a long session , rather divide this into 3 session , and climb up and down 10 floors , or 1 floor 10 times . and do this in the morning , afternoon and evening .
