How to Lose Love Handles without Drugs, Pills, or Surgery

Love Handles - How to lose love handles and get rid of them the natural way. A top bodybuilder reveals his secrets!

Did you know that even if you did 1000 crunches every day it may not help you lose your love handles? I’m not telling you this to scare you! On the contrary, you need to know the TRUTH about abdominal training and the bodyfat surrounding your midsection. This may sound counter-intuitive, but if you have love handles, it's not an issue of “muscle development” at all. You simply have too much body fat in that area. The love handles are an area that happens to be the one place that most people - especially men - store the body fat first.

This helps to explain why abdominal exercises have little impact on body fat loss. It's a huge mistake to think that hundreds or thousands of reps of ab exercises will remove your love handles, except to the degree that it burns calories and contributes to the calorie deficit. What removes the love handles fat - and all over your body - is a calorie deficit and that comes from decreasing food intake, increasing activity, or a combination of both.

What I suggest to those looking to get rid of their love handles is cutting back all excessive ab training, spending that extra time for more intense, calorie-burning cardio and weight training for the rest of the body. I also suggest you do an accounting of your food intake, get your nutrition in order and decrease your calories slightly, if necessary.

Nutrition experts love to say, "You can’t out-train a lousy diet."

It's a monumental error to think that 1,000 reps of ab work a day will make your love handles disappear when your diet is a disaster and that's leading to fat storage. It’s not that ab exercises aren’t important. But all the ab exercises in the world won't help as long as you still have body fat covering the muscles. You can't "spot reduce" with abdominal exercise and YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR ABS THROUGH A LAYER OF BODY FAT!
