How To Lose Love Handles

How To Lose Love Handles

You have been successfully losing weight, every thing is going to plan, you may have even reached your goal weight. The problem is you have some stubborn areas of fat that just will not go. You need to know how to lose love handles.

Love handles,saddle bags and that bit of fat right on the front of your belly, we all have that one place where it is extremely hard to shift the fat.

After observing many people losing weight over the years I have noticed that we all seem to lose weight and put it on in a similar manner. Lets assume that we start with a person who has no excess body fat and they gradually begin to put on weight. First a layer of fat is deposited all around the body, the face will become slightly fuller and if you were to pinch any of the normal areas you would notice an increase in fat in the skin fold.

If the person continues to increase body fat things begin to change slightly now more of the fat seems to be deposited in certain areas. These are different for different people but the common sites are;

1. The sides of the waist.
2. The back of the upper arms.
3. The hips.
4. The front of the belly.

Now, how to lose love handles? lets go back to the beginning. You have been successfully losing weight, every thing is going to plan, you may have even reached your goal weight. The problem is you have some stubborn areas of fat that justwill not go. Assuming you have been following a sustainable weight loss plan with a healthy diet and regular aerobic exercise and activity. Your fat reduction will have been in the same order as the weight gain example above, rather than the reverse of the example. you have reached the point where the all over fat covering has reduced but you are left with the stubborn bits, the love handles.

At this point you need to stick to your weight loss plan even going slightly below your goal weight. It will only take a pound or two before people start to say you are looking gaunt and too thin. Don’t lose any more weight at this point but keep at the weight you are and very soon you will see those love handles disappear. At this point you can let your weight gradually go back to your goal, that little bit of fat will be distributed over your body, giving you that healthy glow but it will never go back on to those stubborn areas as long as you now keep control of your weight.
