How To Get Rid Of Love Handles With A Weight Loss Exercise Program

Regular exercise is how to get rid of love handles



The phrase "girl with love handles" is such a lovely description of a woman and I imagine someone with a nice shapely figure that has all the curves in all the right places. They would be a warm and cuddly person and it doesn't take too much imagination to see the reason why those extra folds of skin around the waistline are called love handles.



But not everyone finds love handles that attractive and they do have a habit or turning very ugly if they are left to grow unhindered. They're also excess weight that isn't good for your overall health whichever sex you are. Yes men do get love handles too and frankly they are a lot less attractive on men than they are on women. So lets have a look at the best way to lose love handles.



Just what is love handle fat?



Before you start on a plan to eliminate love handles you need to understand what they are made of. Quite simply, they're fat, fat that your body has produced and stored as a result of eating more calories than you burn off with exercise. Love handle fat, and fat elsewhere in your body is how your body stores energy until it's needed.



In the past your ancestors were lucky if they found food every few days and they had no way of storing it in those days. If your hunting party were successful you would have to eat the whole lot in one go while it was fresh. To keep you alive until the next meal came along the excess energy in the feast was converted to fat and stored in the body where it would be gradually released over the next few days when you didn't eat.



Unfortunately evolution hasn't kept pace with technology and your body still has this survival feature. Today you will eat meals at the very least once or twice a day and often much more frequent than this. Your primitive instinct of eating as much as you can whenever you can together with the opportunity you now have to eat as often as you like has given you a challenge to keep your body in shape.



Your love handles are a big part of your store of energy. Your body finds that your waistline and stomach is a very convenient to place to use as a storeroom.



You must exercise to get rid of love handles



If you want to lose the fat on your love handles you have to make your body burn it off. You can only do this if you burn more calories in exercise than you consume in food. You can achieve an energy balance by reducing the calories that you eat or increasing the exercise you take, or preferably both.



Don't just put yourself on a starvation diet to reduce your calories below the rate at which you burn them. If you do that you risk burning not only fat but also lean muscle and other body organs. Your metabolism will slow and your appetite will increase which will make it very difficult for you to stay slim. You must balance your energy intake with regular exercise and you must keep up the exercise so try to take up something you enjoy doing. Increasing exercise while paying attention to good nutrition will allow you to burn fat while building your muscle.



Paying attention to the types of food that you eat as well as how much you eat can also be part of the solution how to get rid of love handles: Food to Help You Lose Weight
