What’s your hip-to-waist ratio? Chances are it’s one of the first things men look at when they check you out, and if your waist is thicker than your hips, it can be perceived as less sexy, no matter what your body shape is. Here are 5 tips that will help you achieve the perfect hip-to-waist ratio to get the most compliments from men out there!

1) Avoid fad diets

1. Avoid fad diets, like the Paleo Diet and Atkins Diet. These popular diets are based on what our ancestors ate in prehistoric times, but they don't work because we're not living in prehistoric times anymore! What's more, these diets may be too limiting to be sustainable.

2. Get your fill of fruits and vegetables. Eating enough fruit and vegetables can help you curb cravings for sweets and other high-calorie foods that can contribute to weight gain. Plus, many types of produce have a low glycemic index (GI), which means they won't spike your blood sugar levels as much as junk food will.

2) Eat plenty of protein

Protein is essential to building and maintaining muscle mass. Protein can also help you feel more satisfied, which may help with weight loss goals. Aim to eat at least one gram of protein per pound of your body weight each day. You might also want to consider adding a protein shake to your daily routine. Add protein powder or a scoop of plant-based protein (like pea or soy) to milk or water and mix it up! In general, aim to get 10% of your total calories from protein each day. Eat enough carbs: Eating enough carbohydrates helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels throughout the day so that you don't experience energy dips after meals. The recommended amount varies depending on how active you are - but in general try not to go below 50 grams per day.

3) Strength train your lower body

To get the perfect hip-to-waist ratio, it's important to strength train your lower body. Doing squats, lunges and deadlifts will build muscle that will help you achieve a narrower waistline. Focus on working out 3-4 times per week. When you're weight training, be sure to use heavy weights (8+ reps) with plenty of rest in between sets (1 minute). Increase your cardiovascular exercise: Cardiovascular exercise such as running, cycling or swimming will help burn fat and increase lean muscle mass in the legs, which is essential for achieving a slimmer waist. Be sure not to neglect these muscles when training! Get active during the day: Sitting at work all day can really slow down weight loss progress by contributing excess calories from sitting all day at work. Make an effort to take quick breaks from sitting as often as possible during the day by standing up or walking around every half hour or so.

4) Do cardio

Cardio is important because it keeps your body healthy, improves your mood, and can help you maintain a trim hip-to-waist ratio. Plus, cardio also burns calories, which means you'll look better in jeans. There are a lot of different types of cardio that you can try. Find one that works best for you and do it regularly! You don't have to go to a gym to get into shape. Some people prefer walking, jogging or even running on the treadmill or around their neighborhood. Other people like doing yoga or Pilates; some people love to dance while others enjoy cycling outdoors. Get outside: Working out indoors has its advantages but so does getting outside and moving around in nature. Not only will you be able to take in beautiful scenery while you're out there exercising, but exercise will also feel more natural when it's done outside with fresh air instead of indoors with artificial light bulbs. Plus, as an added bonus, if you find yourself close enough to water there's always swimming!

5) Focus on quality, not quantity

This is a difficult question, because there's no single answer that will work for everyone. There are many factors to consider when deciding how to grow your hips - what body shape you currently have, what type of exercise you're doing, whether or not you're trying to do anything about your hip size and so on. The best thing you can do is experiment with different strategies until you find one that works for you. My best advice would be to focus on quality over quantity - it may take some time and experimentation before your hips grow the way you want them to.
