How to Lose Love Handles

Love handles refer to deposition of excess fat on the sides of one's waistline. Fat around the abdomen is not only frustrating, but can also lead to serious health problems such as diabetes and heart diseases.

To lose love handles can be difficult, especially if you have a large amount of fat deposited around the waistlibe. You may make specific changes in diet and lifestyle to see noticeable results around this part of the body.

To lose weight fast around the waist, do the following.

 

Make a Diet Plan

Eating right is elementary to any weight loss plan. Create a weight loss diet plan to help you lose fat around your midsection and reach for a healthy weight. The diet plan that limits the intake of trans and saturated fats suits best for someone trying to give the midsection a more toned appearence. Foods containing saturated and trans fat are high in calories and sodium, which don’t let you lose fat easily.

 

Eat More Frequent Meals

You have to eat more frequently to shrink your belly. Instead of three to four meals, eat five to six small meals a day. It revs up metabolism, stabilises blood sugar and suppresses hunger.

 

Choose Foods Wisely

You have to be specific about what you eat, especially when you stand outside a stall selling fatty foods. Choose healthy sources of fat such as olive oil, nuts and avocados. Eat foods that contain polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Eat lean meat (skinless chicken and lean pork). Also, try broiling or baking meat instead of frying.

 

Cut High Sugar Foods

More sugar can have a bloating effect, making your belly look even bigger. Cut back on high sugar beverages such as carbonated drinks. Replace them with fruit juices or water, which will help you to shed pounds besides suppressing your appetite.

 

Drink More Water

Your body needs more water to fight the flab. Increase your daily intake of water. It will detox your body, decrease your calorie intake and aid weight loss.

 

 

Workout Regimen

It is difficult to burn abdominal fat without exercising. If you don’t like to exercise, begin an aerobic exercise regimen that includes jogging, swimming, cycling or brisk walking. 30-minute sessions of aerobic exercise thrice a week will help you work off fat by boosting metabolism and burning calories.

 

Exercise to Tighten Abdominal Muscles

Besides aerobic exercises, strength train 2 to 3 times a week for 15 to 20 minutes. Strength exercises tone the muscles underneath belly flab. Moreover, incorporate exercises such as situps and crunches in your workout schedule to get rid of love handles fast.

 

Stay Motivated

You cannot lose love handles overnight or even in a week's time. It takes several weeks, even months to see a noticeable loss in abdominal flab. Patience is the key; you must be consistent and stick to a weight loss plan to reduce abdominal fat.


You don’t need a personal trainer or fitness equipment to lose your love handles; all you need is a healthy lifestyle and motivation to work towards cutting your belly fat.
