How to Get Rid of Your Love Handles, Safely, Healthily and Permanently
In the next few paragraphs, I am going to clearly tell you why you have failed in the past to lose fat, especially from one particular part of your body. I will explain to you how you can finally lose that ugly fat forever and reveal the one thing which guarantees your success.
If you have tried to lose weight at any time in the past, I could almost guarantee that you have been lied to, you have been cheated and you have been horribly exploited. Large corporations, pharmaceutical companies, so-called weight loss experts and fitness gurus have, for years, made millions of dollars by selling us diets, pills, potions and equipment that simply do not and cannot possibly work long term. They have deliberately chosen to ignore the fundamental, scientifically proven principals governing how our bodies put on weight and how we lose it again. It pays them to keep us fat. The longer we stay fat, the longer they can continue to separate us from our hard earned cash.
No longer! The single most important thing we always need to remember is that we put on weight because our energy (calories) intake i.e. food, is greater than the energy we use up i.e. that energy that we use up through our normal bodily processes, plus that which we use up through daily activities, plus any additional exercise. So, if the amount of calories we take in is more than we use up, we put on weight. Simple.
Weight gain follows a predetermined order within our body. Men usually put it on around their mid section first. Women normally pit it on around their hips and thighs. Unfortunately, these are also the areas which tend to be the last from which fat will disappear. Disappointingly for most, we cannot target a certain area form which to lose fat. It is impossible, for example, for men to only lose fat from their stomachs to the exclusion of other areas. If you want, you can waste your money on “sauna belts,” wraps, creams, lotions, gels, pills and all kinds of other scams, but in the end you’ll discover the truth for yourself… You have to burn lower abdominal fat like any other body fat — through exercise and nutrition — and abdominal fat is simply the last place to go. Tom Venuto, author of the net’s number one book on weight loss, gives us a very good analogy to keep in mind: “Think of abdominal fat as the shallow end of a swimming pool. No matter how much you protest, you cannot drain the shallow end before the deep end. The shallow end will drain for certain, but it will be the LAST place to drain.” So, in order to lose weight from any one area, we need to have an all body weight loss plan. We must use up more calories than we take in. Its not rocket science.
The problems arise from how we decide to ensure that we use up more calories than we take in. We only have three options:- 1. Reduce the number of calories we take in. (Diet) 2. Increase the number we use. (exercise) 3. Combine both of the above.
Example three is, by far, the best option. By making small changes to the way we eat and to the way we exercise, over a period of time, is the best way to lose weight safely, healthily and permanently. Period!
The key phrase in the above paragraph is “over a period of time.” Forget completely any notion you have of losing weight quickly. You will fail. You can easily lose weight quickly with almost any diet but in the long run, you will fail. You will sabotage your body’s ability to maintain the weight loss and you will find it much more difficult to keep the weight off or to lose more in the future.
Exercise is a vital component of any weigh loss program. It is a great way to burn calories. The more calories we burn, the more weight we lose. Exercise can be anything which raises our heart rate sufficiently to get us into the zone where we are burning calories most efficiently. i.e. it can be anything from making love, to dancing, to swimming, to going to the gym.. The options are virtually endless.
Ultimately, though, what determines whether we succeed or fail is our attitude. Do we want it badly enough? Do we want it more than anything? Are we committed totally and utterly? If our mindset is right, we can achieve anything. If we set our goals properly, we can succeed. In fact, we cannot fail.
We can only become what we expect to become.
So, weight loss is not difficult. It only becomes difficult because we have chosen to look for the easy option. There are no easy options. Proper, healthy weight loss takes time. But it only requires small changes over a period of time. Our bodies are designed to change slowly. They cannot be rushed. So take the decision to do it right and you will get that body you have always dreamed of.
