Hips Thighs & Estrogen

"I don't want to be cut and muscular."

The usual answer from fitness trainers is that women don't produce enough testosterone for that to happen.

Thats true, but it doesn't explain Madonna or Mary J.

"why can't I lose on my hips & thighs?"

Both answers involve estrogen. Higher estrogen balance higher fat production in maternity areas. After a certain age estrogen production falls. If balanced well women can have a more chiseled look.

Solutions: sleep, weight training, and diet. These help the body balance hormones and reduce fat reception.

Caution: some foods like processed soy mimic estrogen. Proteins and veggies will help with slimming these areas.

Of course these chemicals are very complicated. And there's still much more to learn about how these benefit us.
