It’s fairly difficult to do this without going on a harmful diet. And why wouldn’t you want to gain muscle? Gaining muscle is healthy, it looks healthy, burns calories and fat faster and more efficiently.
The key to getting your body into great condition, with minimal fat. Is eat less, eat healthy and get some exercise. There’s no trick, but that’s the key.
Good luck 🙂

Women really need to stop being afraid of gaining muscle. Gaining muscle doesn’t necessarily mean that you will get bigger. Muscle takes up less space than fat does, so if you gain 5 lbs of muscle, but lose 5 lbs of fat, you will weight the same but you will be smaller, leaner, more toned, and fit into smaller clothes, and look much better. If you have a little more muscle it will be much easier to lose fat because you will have a faster metabolism. Also if you train properly, your muscle tissue will become more dense, not larger and plumped out like a body builder. So don’t be afraid to lift weights and add some lean muscle tissue. Also you need to eat right, get plenty of sleep, drink lots of water, and manage your stress well. If you want exercise or nutrition coaching starting at only $20 per month, check out the online personal training website below.

Why don’t you want to gain muscle? 90% of women “think” they have a lot of muscle underneath the fat but it’s rarely true. Stop worrying about gaining muscle! Even for men, who try REALLY hard to gain muscle, it is tough to do. And as a woman, you don’t have the growth hormones that men do so even if you tried to gain muscle, you wouldn’t gain much.
Secondly, you can’t do “spot reduction”. It’s been proven time and time again. You can’t just lose fat on your legs. Now, it might be that your genetics force your fat to your legs but don’t think about “losing fat on my legs” think “losing overall bodyfat, which happens to be centered around my legs”.
So the only way to lose fat is to consume fewer calories than you burn. It all starts with your diet. Eat fewer calories than you burn and you will lose weight. But to lose fat, and not lose muscle, you do need to exercise. Weight lifting actually DOES burn more calories than most other forms of exercise because you burn calories during the exercise itself AND you continue to burn calories for many hours afterward (it’s called EPOC). Cardio will help burn calories but to be honest, without all your specifics (age, weight, height, current eating habits, etc.) nobody will be able to truly answer your individual question.
But exercise is secondary. Start with your eating habits.
