Can weight loss help slim the legs?

In general, if weight loss methods are scientifically and properly applied, a certain degree of slimming effect on the legs can usually be achieved. However, due to individual differences and variations in weight loss methods, the effectiveness may differ from person to person. Dietary adjustments are commonly recommended—consuming moderate amounts of diuretic and anti-swelling foods such as winter melon, celery, and white radish in daily meals can be beneficial for slimming the legs. Additionally, increasing physical activity targeting the legs—such as jumping rope, cycling, or hiking—can promote blood circulation and help improve leg appearance. If these methods yield unsatisfactory results, medical aesthetic procedures such as cryolipolysis, radiofrequency lipolysis, or liposuction may be considered.
