Those nasty lumps of fat at your sides are what is termed as ‘love handles’. There’s nothing lovely about them so where the name comes from I don’t know.

The technical term for love handles is obliques, after the oblique muscles which sit at an angle at each side. The word oblique mean ‘at an angle’.

In the fitness & health industry the standard advice starts with – eat healthily, exercise moderately, balanced diet – and all the other rubbish they spout.

We are well aware of all that advice but we need an easy way without any real work, is it possible?

Well, let me say this, yes it’s possible to eat like you are now and lose your love handles but it will take an enormous amount of work.

Your biggest problem is that while you exercise your love handles off, with hard time in the gym. Today’s junk food is travelling merrily to your waist.

If, and it’s a big if, you could stop with the all the bad food you wouldn’t have to do nearly as much exercise to maintain a great body.

It’s about compromise. How much do you really want to lose those love handles? Is it enough to make a change to your lifestyle?

Or will you choose to work much harder and still enjoy all the junk foods you do now. That one is up to you.

Example exercises for love handles are side bends. If you eat like you do now you may need to do a couple hundred of these a day to  stay as you are. Or make the lifestyle change and only need to do fifty to get rid of the love handles.

You can see from the above example how it’s a trade off. Eating junk means more exercise, eating better means less exercise.

As a person, I’m lazy. I try to eat the best options, this way it keeps the exercise to a minimum. I still exercise for love handles but only to stop them appearing again.

To wrap it up, it will indeed hurt if you have to do masses of exercise for love handles. Far better to minimise the exercise by altering your lifestyle a bit.

Got the determination to do this? Check out my site for a review of the weight loss system I use everyday. You got nothing to lose but love handles!

In my case the before is (yes being overweight) before I was struck with diabetes. After is obviously the fall out after getting (and dealing with) it.

I knew I was carrying a bit of extra girth but I never thought 15 pounds or so was dangerously overweight for someone in my mid twenties.

I’d been on the diet merry go round many times but I lacked the motivation. Plus I’d brainwashed myself into thinking I can’t lose weight.

When I was motivated it seemed to take ages to lose a few pounds. When I wasn’t motivated it seemed to take about a day to pile it back on.

Then disaster, or what seemed like disaster for me. Struck with diabetes, and all the possible complications that come with it.

I was told in no uncertain terms to drop the weight, or suffer. I had to stop thinking I can’t lose weight and start thinking I can lose weight.

Just what was I gonna do? Up until now I believed I can’t lose weight. Now I’m faced with finding a system that works for me.

I figured I should go with something that suits me. I like things nice and orderly. I’m a bit OCD so I like to know I’ve ticked the boxes and I’m doing things right.

If the steps were planned meals or exercise routines then I’d need to tick off that it was complete. This way I know I’m sticking to the game plan.

I had differing levels of success with all manner of dieting systems and gizmos. Some quite expensive! I read plenty of books and lots of Ebooks.

I actually discovered a neat system that has a computer generated diet planner. Better still it doesn’t restrict my meal sizes! It takes all the stress out of planning the correct meals and diet.

I mentioned earlier that I like to tick the boxes off when I’m doing something, well this system ticks all the boxes for me. Forgive the little joke there!

If you too think you can’t lose weight then let me tell you from experience you are 99% wrong in thinking that. Maybe you just haven’t found the system that works for you yet. Maybe that system is the one I use?

You can check out a few things I’ve used and my current fav system in a few reviews I’ve put on my blog. You’ve got nothing to lose but weight!

I used to firmly believe I can’t lose weight and would always be overweight. But, I was proven wrong in the end.

I used to go up and down like a lift with my weight. It was mostly ups though. I was then hit by a sudden illness, age onset diabetes.

I wondered if my being fat was the cause but I think I’ll never know the reason. I’ll tell you though it really scared me.

I was now diabetic and I was only twenty seven years old. How the hell did I get old peoples diabetes?

Time to do something about my weight properly this time. No half hearted attempts to lose a few pounds. I had to change my way of thinking on this one.

Over the years I’ve tried everything from weightwatchers to ab crunchers. And some of the stuff has cost me a small fortune. I dread to think how much I’ve shelled out on diet ‘fads’.

What I found was a step by step system that allows me to plan my day and my meals. I can plan meals of a decent size that aren’t going to leave me hungry.

I use a diet generator on my computer that makes it so easy to create my meal plans. I used to stress out trying to work out what to (safely) eat.

I was a sucker for eating any leftovers my kids didn’t eat. I actually thought that it was wasteful to throw it in the garbage. Now I have a totally different mindset and we rarely cook more than we can eat.

If you are like I used to be and still think you can’t lose weight then you need a fresh outlook on things. You can, and will lose weight if you start right now believing you can.

It’s a decision that you will never regret. You may look back and think how ridiculous it was to believe that you actually can’t lose weight.

I like thing to be neat and tidy and that includes my weight loss system. I have daily tasks that I can tick off once they are done. This way I know I’m on the right track to maintaining my weight.

I’ve reviewed some of the stuff I’ve tried including my fav system on my web page. If you think you can’t lose weight, check it out and be prepared to be proven wrong. Are you up for a challenge?

Two simple rules to losing weight are exercise more while eating less.The problem with those two sentences is they don’t go into the specifics.What we do need, is an in depth hand holding weight loss system.

If you have a set of rules to follow, rules which will result in losing weight, you will find this much easier.Every day we can follow the rules and be certain we are doing things right.On our own we don’t follow rules and stray from what we should do.

If we go it alone with no system we end up back at the start, obsessing about being overweight.Following a proven system though leaves us as sure as can be that we are doing things right.We can simply check off our daily list of tasks and know we are following correctly.

If we can follow a system every day we know we will get the weight loss that we desire.The hardest part is following the system, and its daily routine.Also helps if we know what the danger signs (or foods) are so we can either avoid or eat in moderation.

Knowledge is everything in this world. Having knowledge of something puts you in a far better position to deal with things.It’s no different in the battle to lose weight. The correct knowledge gives you the edge in your fight to lose weight.There are many reasons why we can’t lose weight, let’s have a look at some.

You simply can’t stop snacking.Surprisingly this could be boredom and not hunger that is causing you to snack. If you must snack find something that won’t pile the weight on. Nuts can be effective against hunger and the right ones are not overly fattening.

Depression. I know this one only too well. I suffered a bad motorcycle accident leaving me unable to work and the dreaded depression set in. It’s a nightmare scenario of a downward spiral that will easily cause you to even give up trying to lose weight. But I know it can be overcome.

Sleep, too much or too little? Either too much or too little sleep can interfere with the body’s metabolism. In the hectic world we live in today it’s very hard to get the right amount of sleep. In fact it’s hard to even know what the right amount actually is. If you are feeling tired through the day there’s a good chance you will eat more to liven yourself up. Be aware of this danger.

Is it your age? It’s a well known fact that as we get older our bodies change. We start to accumulate fat in the most unwanted places. If you know where these areas are, and understand why the fats being stored there, it may help you in your weight loss regime.

Any of these, or another reason could be why you think you can’t lose weight.Get hold of a system that you can follow every day and you will see huge benefits.A system like this will give you the best possible chance to attain your goals.

Diet systems reviewed -:-

Is it worth reviewing any of the millions of diets that are available? I think so yes.A lot of systems (the majority in fact) won’t even educate you enough to know what’s good or bad for you. They simply say “do this…lose weight”. These diets are ones to avoid.

If you can follow a step by step system then there are some good ones that will work for you.The hard part is clearly following them every day. I know this from experience.Read up on what I think of several systems and save yourself some time researching.

Can’t lose weight? Yes you can, start believing it.A good system and sticking to its rules will work for the majority of people.In fact some of the more popular weight loss systems have thousands, if not millions of happy customers.

We’ve looked at just a few of the reasons why you think you can’t lose weight.Let’s also look at some possible systems that will, if followed, help you lose weight.It’s up to you. Make a decision now to get yourself a step by step system and that you will stick to it.

Those nasty lumps of fat at your sides are what is termed as ‘love handles’. There’s nothing lovely about them so where the name comes from I don’t know.

Love handles are actually ‘oblique muscles’ or ‘obliques’, named for the fact they sit at an angle at our sides. Oblique actually means ‘at an angle’.

In the fitness & health industry the standard advice starts with – eat healthily, exercise moderately, balanced diet – and all the other rubbish they spout.

We know what we should do but we need to get rid of these love handles the easy way, without the hard work. Is there a way?

Yes, you could do it. You could eat as you are now but it will take an almost Herculean effort to manage it.

The biggest hurdle you face is that while you exercise for love handles, you only rid yourself of yesterday’s fat. Today’s fat is making it’s way to love handle central.

If, and I say this carefully, you could reduce your intake of junk food you could also reduce the amount of exercise it takes to look great.

It’s all about trade-off. How bad do you want to get rid of your love handles? Bad enough to change your lifestyle?

Or will you choose to work much harder and still enjoy all the junk foods you do now. That one is up to you.

Let’s take side bends as an exercise for love handles. Continue on your junk food diet and do 200 side bends everyday just to maintain your love handles as they are. Or change your lifestyle and do 50 side bends to maintain no love handles at all.

As you will gather from the above, it’s a fine balancing act. Junk food = more exercise while healthy food = less exercise.

As a lazy person myself I tend to eat as good as I possibly can so I can keep any exercise down to a minimum. I still exercise for my love handles but only to stop them re-appearing.

In conclusion, you will get pain if you have to do loads of exercise for your love handles. If you can change you eating habits you can manage with far less exercise.

Do you have what it takes? You might benefit from the step by step weight loss system that I follow every day. Read a review of that & more on my site. Nothing to lose but love handles!

We’ve all heard it over and over, eat less food and exercise a bit more and the weight will come off.The problem with those two sentences is they don’t go into the specifics.We need more detail. We need a set of rules to live by day in day out.

With a proven weight loss system, things start to get easier for us.You follow the rules correctly, you then know you are doing things right.If we have to decide for ourselves whether we’ve eaten too much or not exercised we often get it way wrong.

Left to our own devices we all usually end up at the same place we started. Overweight and depressed about it.With a daily set of steps or rules we can follow we have the ability to know 100% we are doing it right.We have a list of daily tasks which we simply tick off and then are sure we are doing it right.

If we can follow a system every day we know we will get the weight loss that we desire.Actually following the rules every day is the hardest part.We can give ourselves a helping hand though by recognising some of the reasons we might fail.

Knowledge is everything in this world. Having knowledge of something puts you in a far better position to deal with things.The fight to lose weight isn’t any different. Have the right knowledge and the fight becomes easier.Here are a handful of reasons that may be why you can’t lose weight; you may be surprised at some.

Getting enough vitamins?Vitamins & minerals really help in the battle for weight loss. Minerals play an important part in helping our body’s use fat for energy instead of using muscle for energy. We need to put our body’s in a state that will make us burn the fat and not the muscle. The correct vitamins and minerals will do this for you.

Are you really hungry or do you just need a drink? We can easily mistake hunger for a simple thirst. Try it next time you think you feel hunger, have a drink. I can go half a day on just a few cups of coffee; the liquid makes me feel much less hungry.

Motivation, it’s as important as the air you breathe. What more do you need to keep you motivated than the image of a slimmer, almost perfect you. You will be fitter. You’ll feel far better with your self image. You’ll be brimming with rediscovered confidence. Oh, and you may get more sex! What other reason do you need?

Is it your age? It’s a well known fact that as we get older our bodies change. We start to accumulate fat in the most unwanted places. If you know where these areas are, and understand why the fats being stored there, it may help you in your weight loss regime.

Any of these, or another reason could be why you think you can’t lose weight.You may need a step by step system that you can use everyday.A system like this will give you the best possible chance to attain your goals.

Diet system reviews -:-

There’s thousands of diet systems out there, is it worth reviewing them? In my opinion yes.Most systems will give you bad info, do this, do that, lose weight. Rarely happens like this.

If you follow the system to the letter then there are some good systems out there, systems that will work for you.I know from my weight loss battle that sticking to them is probably the hardest thing to do.Give yourself the best possible start and read my reviews of what worked for me.

You should rid your mind of any thoughts that you can’t lose weight that are still lingering in there.A good system and sticking to its rules will work for the majority of people.Lots of people will gladly tell you how they lost weight easily with one of these systems.

You think you can’t lose weight and we’ve checked out a few possible reasons why.Now let’s look at some systems that can definitely get you losing weight fast.It’s all down to you though. Without you making a concrete decision to shed some fat you will end up back here in a few months time. The time to do it is now!

I was convinced I would eternally be overweight, that I simply can’t lose weight. How wrong I was!

I used to lose a pound and pile two on, an endless merry go round. I changed when I was struck with type 2 diabetes.

I wondered if my being fat was the cause but I think I’ll never know the reason. I’ll tell you though it really scared me.

Only twenty seven and lumped with a life long illness. Just how did I get this ‘old age’ persons disease?

Time to do something about my weight properly this time. No half hearted attempts to lose a few pounds. I had to change my way of thinking on this one.

Like most “fatties” I tried all sorts of diets and gizmos. Some of the stuff was sickeningly expensive and turned out to be next to useless. I shudder at how much money I’ve thrown away.

I discovered a step by step system that really suited me. It allows me to make all my meal plans ahead of time without having to cut back on portion size.

I use a diet generator on my computer that makes it so easy to create my meal plans. I used to stress out trying to work out what to (safely) eat.

I was terrible when it came to the weekend. If I’d managed to drop a pound or two I’d end up rewarding myself and undoing any progress I’d made through the week. Talk about vicious circle.

If you are like I was and believe you can’t lose weight then it’s time you started to change your way of thinking. We can all lose weight if we just stop believing we can’t lose weight.

You won’t regret making the decision. You’ll look back in years to come and realise how silly a notion it is to think you can’t lose weight.

I’m a bit OCD and like to have everything I do put into systems. I like to follow lists of instructions knowing that at the end I’ll get the result I expect. It’s no different with my weight loss and it could be the same for you.

I’ve reviewed some of the stuff I’ve tried including my fav system on my web page. If you think you can’t lose weight, check it out and be prepared to be proven wrong. Are you up for a challenge?

I can tell you now that’s not physically possible. Everybody can lose weight. You just haven’t found the right system for you just yet.

I once believed I couldn’t lose weight but then I was given an almighty wake up call by mother nature.

I was carrying around 15 pounds too much for most of my adult life when I got type two diabetes at twenty seven. Talk about a shock.

I don’t know the how’s and why’s of it all but I do know it prompted me to do something with my weight.

I love systems. Systems make things easier by breaking them down into manageable tasks. I thought weight loss shouldn’t be any different.

A system breaks something bigger down into little steps that can easily be followed. Eventually you get the same result every time. The result you want here is a that killer body you’ve been trying for.

Systems are everywhere. Giant fast food chains are built on systems, it’s easy to train teenagers with step by step systems. Why not use a system then in our weight loss battle?

I tried all manner of useless diet products, some of them painfully expensive. They got me nowhere fast. Hopefully by getting yourself a system like mine you won’t have to waste a boat load of cash.

After a lot of trial and error I found a system that works for me. One that allows me to plan my whole day beforehand and then I just follow the rules.

My system has a computer generated meal planner that cuts the stress out of deciding what I can and can’t eat. I have portions that don’t leave me hungry, which is rather important to me!

You wouldn’t believe (or maybe you would) the stress it used to cause me just trying to work out what I could safely eat. Not any more! Push button planning for me, and I love it.

If you are one of the many who think they can’t lose weight, it’s time you got hold of a system that works for you. A step by step system that a child can follow will finally help you lose weight.

Craig Ballantyne is a certified strength and conditioning specialist who has authored numerous articles that have been published in different health magazines. What he has observed after many years of extensive research is the usual exercise that one individual will do over and over again is not healthy. What he found out was, there is a big deal of wear-and-tear in the muscles if the body is subjected to the same exercise program. So, he buried his mind in his “lab” to find out what to do about it and this is what he came up with: the best fat burning workout routine called Turbulence Training. Turbulence Training is a result of long hours of research and experiments that has resulted in a program that allows you to maximize weight loss and fat loss while keeping your physique.

This best of all fat burning workouts is also ideal for people on the go because it will help them burn fats the “intensified” way, meaning, they only need a few minutes of workout everyday to enjoy the benefits of positive results when it comes to physique and health.
