Three ways to get rid of those ‘love handles’


(WomensFitnessFocus.com) Your goal in losing your lovehandles is to reduce body fat throughout your body, particularly your abdominal muscles. To do this, it will require a diet that is high in fruits and vegetables and one that is low in fats and sugars. There are several key areas to focus on here.We’ll focus on three of them here.

Do you have to give up every single food that is bad for you? The short answer is NO! You should change your mind set from being that you are giving up on these foods that you love and instead rewarding yourself with them.Eating healthy well balanced meals is an essential part to losing weight, especially losing those love handles.

1. Vegetables

Increase your number and types of vegetables.This is where a good amount of nutrients will come from.Vegetables are packed with nutrients that your body needs not only to help rebuild muscles, but also to stimulate weight loss.The more deeply colored vegetables that you eat, the more nutrients you are getting.Try new vegetables that you haven’t had before.You may actually like them!

2. Protein

Protein is a necessary element in muscle building and toning. Your body requires a good amount of protein if it will have the tools necessary to heal your muscles after a workout and help them to expand and grow.By providing enough of the right type of protein to your body, you can enhance your muscle growth.

Protein should come from lean meats, eggs, fish and beans.Look for proteins that do not have much or any fat in them.Adding saturated fat to your diet (such as with red meat) can cause you to simply put the fat back on that you are trying to reduce from your body.

3. Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates should be eaten, but you should stick with whole grains (look for products that specifically say 100 percent whole grain or 100 percent whole wheat on them, instead of just “whole grain.”

White carbohydrates like white bread, white rice, and white potatoes are too easily converted into sugars which will lead to increased problems with insulin.They don’t allow you to lose weight nearly as effectively as if you were switching to whole grain products.

What’s more, most people won’t tell the taste difference in these products!Switching from whites to whole grain should not affect your favorite food flavors.

If you begin to balance these three items in your meals and stop eating the things that you already know are bad for you, you will see a difference in your weight.
