Body Fat & Genetics. What do I mean by that? Well different people have different shaped bodies which means that they hold onto fat in different places. Many hold onto weight in their thighs the longest, while others hold onto it in their midsection. If you are reading this then obviously you are one of those that holds onto fat in their midsection. What can you do about that? Nothing! That's your body type. That doesn't mean you can't do anything about your love handles, just that you can't do anything about that being the place your body holds onto fat the longest.

You Have Love Handles Because Your Body Fat % Is Too High

You will have a very hard time getting rid of your love handles if you are not dieting. It's almost impossible to lose them through exercise alone!

What Diet Should You Choose?

You should choose a fat burning diet that keeps your metabolism running on high. That means you should not choose a low calorie diet which slows your metabolism. It's also very important to choose a diet that you can stick with long term.

Exercises To Get Rid Of Love Handles

You need to lower your body fat %. One of the best ways you can do this is by building more muscle! Each pound of muscle burns 50 calories a day even at rest. The best exercises you can do to get rid of love handles are not actually crunches or sit-ups. In fact those types of exercises are a waste of time because they burn very little in the way of calories and they do very little to build muscle. Instead you should do strength training exercise which helps you to build up more muscle mass. This will increase your metabolism and help you to lower your body fat % down low enough that your love handles disappear!
