Loose belly fat

Are your struggling to lose belly fat and to finally get rid of those annoying love handles forever?

You have probably tried every method in the world to try to lose your stubborn belly fat, but it just never seems to go away... right? I am pretty sure you have seen plenty of infomercials of ab gadgets (ab rollers, ab belts, ab shapers - whatever they call it these days) with promises of losing belly fat doing simple exercises while watching TV.
Come on now! Do they really think that most people will believe that a belly-fat reduction miracle is possible overnight and that we will wake up one day and be rid of our love handles while doing some useless exercise?

Enough said, let us get right down to the hard science and truth behind what methods and strategies really do help you to lose your stubborn belly fat and get rid of love handles and keep it off for life!

1) The first strategy we will discuss is how you perform your workouts. To stimulate fat-loss from your stomach, you need to stop wasting so much of your time doing all kinds of abdominal exercises and hundreds of sets of sit-ups, crunches and torso twist hoping to "spot-reduce" your belly fat and love handles.
You have probably learned by now, if you have read any reputable fitness publications recently, that spot-reduction of belly fat and love handles DOES NOT occur.
It is a myth that has perpetuated the fitness industry for decades. The simple truth is, you will not lose stubborn belly fat and get rid of love handles just by doing exercises that target the stomach area. Unfortunately, even though most people know this by now, they still spend WAY too much of their training time targeting the stomach with plenty of abs exercises.
Now do not be misled, a few abdominal exercises are excellent and they do help to strengthen your stomach muscles while maintaining a healthy back. But the truth is that abs exercises should cover only a small portion of your training regimen. Most of your workout should be focused on multi-joint exercises that work the largest muscle groups of the body - the legs, chest, and back.
That is one of the REAL secrets for ridding yourself of that sloppy belly fat and annoying love handles for good. Multi-joint exercises for the largest muscle groups significantly increase metabolic rate both during the workout, and for 24-48 hours after the workout. This, in turn, stimulates an increase in fat-burning hormones. You simply cannot achieve this type of metabolic and hormonal response by wasting most of your time with direct abdominal exercises.
Now, do you really want to lose belly fat and get rid of those unsightly love handles? Then get your butt under a barbell and perform some squats, deadlifts, lunges, step-ups and some back and chest work. It does not really matter whether you use barbells, dumbbells, or even bodyweight exercises as long as the focus is on big multi-joint exercises at a high intensity. Sorry, but that means no 5-minute rest periods between sets while you chat with your friends at the gym. Losing your belly fat and getting rid of love handles for good requires some focus and intensity in your training! Anyone telling you that it can be done while watching TV with some "ab-belt" strapped to you, or doing only 2-minutes of crunching with your "ab-rocker" is flat out lying to you!

2) The second strategy to rid you of that flabby belly and love handles revolves around diet and nutrition. The important thing you need to realize is that "diets" only work against your body in your effort to lose belly fat. If you follow any of the fad diets that restrict 1 or more of the macro-nutrients (protein, carbohydrates, and fat), you will only end up losing lean muscle and lowering your metabolic rate. This will only make you fatter in the long run, once you start eating normal again!
Fad diets essentially mess up processes related to hormonal balance in the body, the muscle glycogen process, insulin, blood sugar, etc., stopping your fat loss strategy dead in its tracks!
STOP falling for fad diet gimmicks. As humans, we are meant to eat a balanced diet from a diverse array of healthy foods rich in natural sources of carbohydrates, proteins, AND fats. This gives your body all of the macro-nutrients as well as all of the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and enzymes that your body needs to run as a well-oiled fat-burning machine!
