Do you have those horrible love handles on the side of your body? Do you want to know how to get rid of those love handles and I mean for good? Well if your answer was yes to both of those questions about wanting to know how to get rid of love handles, then read on and I will explain to you how to get rid of love handles.  First of all when learning how to get rid of love handles we must take into consideration the three main subjects that I will briefly discuss and that is diet, training and rest. All of these three components will help you to learn how to get rid of love handles.  Diet The first and most important of theses three topics relating to how to get rid of love handles, is the diet and I will give you a brief run down on what type of diet you need to follow. We need to firstly eliminate saturated fats which are those kinds of fats that are solid at room temperature such as margarine is. Another way that you can get rid of saturated fats is to take a look on the back of food packets. There should be some nutritional information on the back of the pack and there it should say what sort of fats are in that type of food. Saturated fats must be cut to as minimal as can. This is the first step in learning how to get rid of love handles.  The next thing that we need to take a look at on the diet when we learn how to get rid of love handles, is the carbohydrate and protein intake. Through the day we have 5-6 small meals at a 2-3 hour interval and it should consist of a portion of carbohydrates and a portion of protein and also in at least three of those meals we should consume some vegetables or fruit too.
When you begin to look more deeply into how to get rid of love handles, you will also have to learn what exactly a portion is. So i have explained this to you below, for your reference to help you when you learn how to get rid of love handles.  If you don't know what a portion is, a brief description of a portion is the amount you can hold in the palm of your hand. Here are some examples of carbohydrates: rice, bread. Pasta, potatoes, bananas. Here are some examples or proteins: egg whites, chicken, fish, crab, turkey, and lean beef.
So that is a brief run down of the diet, and in addition drink at least 2-3 litres of water a day.  When you learn how to get rid of love handles, you will also learn that you have to take up some for of training to assist you in being able to get rid of love handles.  Training  In this next section of learning how to get rid of those love handles we will be looking at what type of training we need to do. The simple formula for the type of training that we need to do when learning how to get rid of love handles is cardio and side crunches. For an effective cardio work out, we will be doing it for 30-40 minutes a session and we will do this at least 4 times a week with the heart rate beating at around 60-80% of our maximum heart rate, which needs to be taken by a professional before undergoing any exercise programme.   Use running or bicycling or anything that can get the heart rate up to the right level for fat burning for your training routine. Also add in side crunches at the end of the session too. The cardio will burn the fat and the crunches will strengthen the muscle.    Rest The final section of learning how get rid of love handles is rest. Rest is just as important as training and the diet. We need at least 8-10 hours sleep a night and make sure that you sleep at the same time too. When our body is at rest, this is the time that our body is actually growing. All physiological adjustments are done to the body when it is at full rest.  Well I hope this helps you on your quest to get rid of love handles.

Top Ten Weight Loss Tips

My Weight Loss CoachImage via Wikipedia
Don’t concentrate on losing weight
Concentrate on eating healthily and exercising rather than obsessing about weight loss.
Eat more often
Smaller meals eaten more regularly will keep your metabolism high and will help you to burn more fat.
Eat fewer calories
This is an obvious point but worth stressing. You CANNOT lose weight unless you create a calorie deficit. That is burning more calories than you consume.
Eat more protein
The ideal fat burning menu contains a large portion of protein.
Eat the right fats
Fats are very important to your diet, think oily fish however rather than saturated fats from fried food.
Consistent exercise
To create a calorie deficit and to tone up you MUST regularly perform both cardio and resistance training. Aim for three cardio sessions and three weight training sessions a week.
Weigh and measure weekly
Give yourself the boost of seeing the weight come off by weighing yourself weekly. Don’t do it with any more frequency however as body weight can fluctuate.
Cut down on sugar
Sugar causes insulin spikes and the sugar in your coffee or tea can really add up over the course of a day. Try green tea which is rich in antioxidants and can help burn fat. 
Keep it hot
Did you know that simply changing the temperature of the water you drink can speed up your metabolism and burn more calories? Drink hot water! 
Don’t go hungry
Starving yourself will just prompt the body to slow down it’s metabolism as it thinks there’s a famine so will store fat.
