Spot reducing is a myth. If you want to lose your "big butt," try losing weight all over through a moderate diet and exercise. Or perhaps you could give it to one of all the other girls who want a big butt.

There are specific exercises for that part of the body to tone the muscles that may help things seem smaller. Dieting may help. But people with certain body types even if not overweight have a harder time making headway with dieting and exercise to reduce specific parts. Those with pear shaped bodies have larger bottoms naturally, and no amount of exercise or dieting can change that.

You can make it appear smaller with certain types of clothing. Usually you can help make any part of your body look smaller if you wear matching tops and bottoms in one color or pattern so you do not make a line of distinction between the top and bottom which will draw attention to the size differences. Don't wear skinny jeans or tight pants that emphasize the hips and thighs. Straight-legged pants are usually the most slimming. People often think that black is a slimming color, but that isn't necessarily true if the cut is wrong.

There are also clothes made specifically in patterns or color that can create an illusion of smaller buttocks or bustline. You can often see the US First Lady, Michelle Obama, wearing this type of clothing. Take some style tips and ideas from her example and you can't go wrong.

It depends on why the butt is larger than desired. if its a weight thing, cardio exercise and strength training will increase calorie burn and build lean muscle tissue. both things increase overall metabolic rate 24/7. Fueling your body properly combining proteins, fats, and yes carbohydrates in the proper combination and in the right timing will provide your body with the energy it needs to run efficiently and reduce body fat.

Attempting to reduce fat in just one part of your body at a time is likely to be disappointing. Fat reduction works like this: When you try to lose fat, the reduction occurs all throughout your body. Unlike muscle-building, it cannot be specifically targeted to one region. Also, the reduction in fat will not be quickly apparent because it will not be focused on only one spot on your body. So it's helpful to have a "slowly but surely" attitude. Note that exercises mostly serve to tone the muscle underneath the fat. But if you want to slim down, the fat has to be burned off. For that, the main thing is to ditch the junk food and the sweetened drinks. Exercise alone might not be sufficient.

Here's a program for the period in which you want to lose weight: Plenty of moderate aerobic exercise, no sweetened liquids at all, and no junk food at all. Preferably no sugar, and as little added salt and processed foods as possible. Eat 3 not-large meals/day; do not skip breakfast; and avoid snacks. Limit your calories (better to consult a doctor or nutritionist concerning the amount), and weigh yourself 2-3 times/week. Ignore the sensation of hunger. If you see your weight diminishing at a safe, reasonable rate (1-2 pounds/week), keep it up.

Once you've reached your target weight, increase your calorie intake somewhat. And you can then have small amounts of sweetened foods or junk food on occasion (if at all), along with your regular foods (not instead of them). But keep checking your weight 2-3 times/week.

Avoid crash diets, diet pills etc. Avoid fatty cuts of meat. Walk as much as possible. Bicycling and swimming are good too.

More guidelines:

Don't concentrate on specific foods so much as on a balanced, healthy diet plus exercise. Plenty of moderate exercise rather than intense exercise, which can damage your joints.

Good nutrition means eating what your body needs, while ingesting as few harmful things as possible. It has also been described as getting enough of each of the major food categories (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, etc.; plus plenty of water).

This will vary somewhat from one person to another; and I don't believe that there's any universal diet that can be prescribed for everyone. Avoid best-sellers with their perennial fad diets. And think twice before using any dietary supplements or weight-loss pills.

In general, one's starting point can be a menu of whole grains, whole-wheat bread, a good amount of vegetables, some fruits and nuts, fish, lean meats (in not-large amounts), and some dairy. However, this must be tweaked according to one's health, weight and other factors at the outset; and also adjusted over time, as one sees what works for him/her in particular.
