Worried About Those Love Handles, Here is How to Get Rid of Them Quickly

There really is nothing to love about love handles, despite its cute name. Love handles is the excess fat that sits at the sides of the waist and hangs over the top of pants. Also known as a muffin top, it’s a battle to lose this kind of fat. 

A lot of people attempt to effect a change with endless side crunches and other abdominal moves that target the muscles that run down the sides of the torso. However, this is not an effective way to lose love handles.

To get rid of love handles for good, you’re going to have to make some lifestyle changes – dietary, exercise and general changes.

We’ll elaborately discuss just 3 changes to make.

Be more physically active 

Looking for simple ways to increase the number of calories you burn in a day is an effective way to lose love handles. The truth is a lot of people lead sedentary lifestyles and have jobs that require sitting for hours at a stretch. Research has proven over time that sitting for long periods isn’t the best for your waistline.

Whether you are a man or woman, you should do 20-45 minutes of activities like walking, running, biking, or swimming daily, 4-5 times per week. Here is where we include a few statistics! A study of 276 people found that every 15-minute increment of sedentary behaviour was associated with a 0.05-inch (0.13-cm) increase in waist size. Sedentary behaviour was defined as reclining or sitting. 

It’s as simple as the little things. Creating a habit like getting up every 30 minutes to walk to the water dispenser can make a big difference for getting rid of love handles.

Investing in a smartwatch or phone is also a great way to track your steps and see exactly how many steps you take during the day.

Healthy Diet

You don’t need to say it. I know what you are thinking. I talk too much about having a healthy diet. But…but.. it’s the truth! The most important factor in eliminating love handles is incorporating a healthy diet. Here is a couple of recommended healthy ways to help you lose a few inches:

• Drink more water every day (at least 2 litres)
• Eat more vegetables and fruits per day
• Cut fried foods and cheese
• Reduce processed sugar. Stay off sodas, cookies, candy and snacks. 
• Cut down fatty red meat 
• Your waist trainer should be your best friend

Waist training is an effective way to eliminate love handles. It can be incorporated as a part of a healthy lifestyle routine, and it reduces the appearance of love handles whenever you’re wearing your garment and in the long run, reduces your love handles drastically.

To get the most out of waist training, we recommend wearing a waist trainer daily. You should begin with just a couple of hours a day and then work your way up to eight hours or more. Over time your body will become accustomed to the trainer and you’ll be motivated to stay on track with your fitness. The best feeling is when you can size down! Whew…I know because it happened to me. 

I’ll say it. I must! Even women and men, who are in excellent shape can store fat around their midsection. No matter how hard you work out, they are an especially difficult area to target hence, the extra effort. Try these tips and well, come back with a testimony! Hallelujah?
