How to get rid of Love Handles

Love Handles are unwanted fat deposit around the hips. They are called so because they are like an old lover, they are often very hard to get rid of.

    Since spot reduction (i.e. losing weight in one area of the body) is not possible. So the best and the fastest way to lose your love handles is by losing weight throughout your whole body.

Here's a video and some great and most effective tips:

1.      Diet: You can lose your love handles by eating less. By limiting your calorie intake, you reduce the amount of fat you store in your body and your waist. If you are hungry, then eat fruits, salad and low calorie food.

2.      Carbonated Drinks: Avoid carbonated and high calorie beverages. Water can replace high-calorie drinks like soda and alcohol. It has no fats, no calories, no sugar. Water suppresses your appetite, so you don't eat as much.

3.      Breakfast: Eat breakfast everyday. It is one of the best thing you can do. If you miss breakfast, then you will be tempted to eat high calorie food later on.

4.      Cardio: Cardio is one of the best thing you can do for losing weight or for getting good health. It increases the heart rate and therefore, helps in increasing the metabolic rate.

5.      Weight Training: Weight training is as important as cardio. Lifting weights will help you gain muscles and more muscles burn more calories.

6.      Do dumbbell side bends: Dumbbell side bends are another great exercise to target the muscles under your love handles. Standing up, hold one dumbbell at your side and slowly bend your torso sideways, letting the dumbbell descend toward the floor. Slowly straighten up to the starting position using the strength of your abdominal muscles. Do 15 reps on each side.

7.      Strengthen your Lower back: Strengthening your abdominal muscles is a key step in reducing your love handles. But whenever you work on your abs, you should also strengthen the muscles in your lower back to "balance" the strength in your torso and reduce the fat on your back.
