There are so many myths and misinformation about How to lose love handles. If you are not careful and don’t do your research, you are bound to follow bad advice.

So let’s dispel some myths here.

Myth #1: All I need to do is ab crunches and the love handles will melt away.

This is so far from the truth it is not even funny. It has been proven that you cannot spot reduce. What does this mean? It means that only doing ab crunches will not help. This will help strengthen your stomach muscles, but it will not get rid of the fat. You need a strategy for your whole body – we lose fat all over not just in one spot.

Myth #2: It’s in my genes, I can’t help it.

This is so not true. Except for a few people who do have medical conditions that hinders them, most of us have love handles because we didn’t take care of ourselves. Our body is a wonderful thing. If we give it a little bit of love, respect and care, it self corrects. So, no it’s not in your genes. You can help it.

Myth #3: I can just take a diet pill/medical procedure and voila my love handles will be gone.

Diet pills do not work – period. Irrepective of anything you might read, they do not work. There is no magic formula. As for medical procedures like liopsuction – they might work as a temporary solution. But then if you don’t change your habits, those love handles come right back again. And then you can never know what the side effects of any of these medical procedures are. Stay away from them.

Learn how to lose love handles naturally. That is your best bet and the way it was meant to be.

“The amount of fat you have around your waist, affectionately called love handles, is very good indication of health problems you will have” said my doctor. “You better earn quickly how to lose love handles” he said. “Eat healthy and exercise” he said.

You see as I get older my love handles have gotten more noticeable.

There used be a time when I could eat anything, do anything and still be trim and fit. Not anymore.

After the doctor’s visit I was agitated – I’ve been a very healthy person and want to keep it that way. I have no desire to create health problems for myself.

So I went on an information expedition. I read everything related to love handles that I could find my hands on. I was amazed at all the conflicting information out there. The more read, the more I talked to other people, I realized that there were facts and there were myths.
