If you want to know how to lose love handles forever and would prefer a simple 4 step plan for doing that, then you ve found the right video. Here I m going to show you a four step process for losing love handles and getting a trimmer waistline. It starts, as it always does, with your diet. Any time you want to lose body fat you have to address the foods that you re putting in your mouth first. And when you think about the fat around the waist, it s just that, excess fat. There is nothing special about the love handles other than the fact that it is often times the very first to be deposited and the last to come off when dieting. The issue is however, in an attempt to lose love handles, people diet too hard and wind up creating too high of a calorie restriction. Two things set you up for failure with this approach. First, any cut that large in calories is likely to cause too big a shift in the habits you currently have and it s going to require too big of a departure from your current diet. Secondly, this big of a calorie restriction is often times going to leave you sluggish or tired and unwilling to put in the exercise effort to compliment the fat loss that you are achieving through diet alone. The most important part of this though is that, with the love handles being the area of fat that is most reluctant and last to come off, you have to be able to stick to a diet plan for longer in order to see their eventual disappearance. A diet plan that is too restrictive is going to be hard to stick to long enough to allow this type of change to occur. Instead, you want to aim for a much smaller deficit. Somewhere around 200 to 300 (or up to 500 maximum) per day is where you want to be in terms of a calorie deficit in order to see the types of longstanding results you want to see and the loss of body fat around the waist. Now, with the diet and nutrition in check the next place you need to start fousing on is your workouts, or more specifically the type of exercises that you are doing. And shockingly, it s not all about ab exercises or oblique exericses. In fact, you are going to want to train your lats if you want to create a visual differential between your upper back and waist that will immediately help to offset the appearance of a thick waist. Exercises like the one arm lat pulldown done standing or kneeling are great options here. The key is that you are focusing on pulling your elbow all the way down to your hip and attempting to almost wrap your elbow behind you to touch your spine. Obviously this won t happen but it s the complete contraction of the lats that you re after, driving your elbow towards the origin of the lats on the pelvis to work this insertion and help assist in the visual narrowing of the love handles from behind. Next, you have to work your abs. Now this comes as no surprise since I m sure you want your entire midsection to look good and not just your sides. But if you think of the obilques as a picture frame, your abs are the picture. Both need to be in good condition in order for them to look their best. It doesn t matter what ab workout you follow as long as you are consistent. The abs can be trained daily, and nothing more than a 5 to 10 minute ab workout is needed in order to train the core and keep your waistline tight when combined with a good diet plan. Finally, the obliques need your attention. You may have heard that training the obliques will give you a thick waist. This is a myth. The obliques are actually a waistline tapering muscle that, when trained and body fat levels are low enough, goes a long way towards giving you a ripped, lean midsection. If you want to lose love handles you have to train your obliques. Any exercise that rotates from either the top down or the bottom up are good candidates for love handle exercises that will help you to get a trim waist. When you combine this 4 step solution, you ll see that your love handles will start to eventually disappear. Again, they will not be the first body fat to go. That will happen higher up in the upper abs before it starts to be seen around the waist. That said, if you combine what I ve told you here you will be able to stick to your diet that will allow you to finally get rid of love handles once and for all.

Personally I don't believe that a caloric deficit is healthy in the long term. A caloric deficit only makes sense for people who've gained an undesirable amount of body fat to begin with in the short term, and they often continue to consume an inadequate amount of calories (and micronutrients) for longer than they should be.
What I do believe in is calorie conversion, because most people who've gained an undesirable amount of body fat have done so by consuming too much refined carbs/sugars, processed fats and other chemicals that are incompatible with the body to utilise effectively.
Focusing on consuming plenty of protein, carbs and some fats from wholefoods most of the time with the odd treat occasionally is the most sustainable way to maintain a healthy body composition. Also understand that the primary purpose of exercise is to improve or maintain fitness and functionality, not to lose body fat. Exercise assists the diet in body fat management, not the other way around.

Hey, I am 31 years old, 6, 2 and 194 pounds I want to start working out my goal is to burn fat and build up muscle at the same time, my body fat is like 20-25% I will be working out 3x per week 1 hour strength + 20 min abs and 3x per week cardio for 45-60 minutes, Will be eating 0, 8 gr protein per pound of weight but how many calories should I eat per day? to burn fat build up muscle and not go to exetreme, 2700 calories? (to much/to little? what proportions? 160 gram of proteins = 640 calories so that like 25% of the total calories? and the rest? 45% carbs and 30% fat?
In the past I did workout a bit so I got some muscle to start of with.
anyone could give me some hints?

The huge issue with the caloric defecit, is that actually hitting your maintenance accurately is incredibly difficult. Especially when your best indicator is weight, which can fluctuate or stagnate when you work out as well.
I didnt notice anything when i tried to use estimates to calculate this. My four-pack was there for 6 months while everything else felt stagnant. When i went more aggressive over time to try and push results i just lost weight, but not the fat around the target area.
I still dont really know where my maintenance actually is, and its a huge problem when trying to have a fat loss without losing muscle as well.

By cutting carbs and eating fats, and doing a ton of mountain biking+sport, I have no way of overeating. I've eaten 4-5k a day for 2 months, while consuming way more than that. I've never gotten ripped, let alone so fast, and I'm 42. The 1k or 2k deficit being too much or not, depends also out of how much. if you eat 5k and use 8k, you will still have everything you need. A proper plan satisfies all vitamin groups, mineral groups, and targeted macros. The point of 1k being too much, is if it's 1k out of 2k for example. then you wouldn't be able to have enough protein, and enough of other stuff to get all the vit. and minerals that you need.

Eat as much whole, untampered-with meat as possible. Check ingredients. No flour, dextrose, any of that other bs. Ingredients should be the animal, and whatever you want to cook it with. Learn to season your food, it ll taste good, it ll taste BETTER than the unhealthy shite turning everyone s diets into a nightmare, with good training you ll look & feel like a demigod.
There s far more tools out there to get what you want done, but for me, eating like an apex creature gets you an apex body.

Serious question here: How do you know you're really in a caloric deficit, if you can't REALLY know how many calories you're burning? I know something like a Fitbit can give you an estimate, but there are SO many physiological factors from one person to the next that it can't take into account when making that estimate.

Hi Jeff, can I do all these exercises specially the abdominal muscles with an small inguinal hernia. I have been not operated, but I m afraid to train these muscles. What do you think. By the echo they say it is a small hernia. Please your advice. Thanks

How can i look very lean uptop so and even been told look ill yet i have lower belly that petrudes out like a pouch, looks ridiculous. The skinny fat gene sucks so much. I could eat a carrot a day and still have a below belly button pouch.
reply

Eat Whole Foods and fats. You ll find you can fast all day and won t get food cravings. Simple. Or eat only meat for a month, as much as you want. You ll find you won t want to eat half as much because carbs and sugar are addicting.
reply

95% of removing unwanted fat is diet, but I believe exercise serves as a psychological component. Exercise puts one on the offensive in the war against fat. So I'm really glad Jeff covered both with the priority being diet.

On a serious note, Jeff, what if you have herniated disc in the neck, and scoliosis in your lower spine? I've always been fit, but it's been hard since I got ejected in a car accident. I just need some advice and tips.
reply

One word: LIPOSUCTION. No need for any of this BS. Soon as you slack off on your diet your love handles will return. Liposuction gets rid of them permanently, no matter what your diet or training routine.

Instead of a caloric deficit, can't one just hold caloric intake constant and wait for muscle growth to force a higher caloric need causing the body to consume most adipose tissue in a 1 to 2 year period?
reply

I understand it s better to train lats than not to, but how much of a noticeable difference if ima be on a caloric deficit? If I train lats I d want them to actually grow but what about the calories needed?
reply

I am in university so i eat whatevers in the cafeteria cuz if i make my own food they charge us for the fridge and the electricity it uses even if we bring our own i mean im not elon musk
reply

You are not spot reducing! Only a clean diet, and long one will help clean up love handles, and even the, depending on age, they may never go away!
reply

Is it really that much requested problem? :)
I am not lean at all but I am totally fine with my love handles. Is it something personal, Jeff?

reply

your AB workouts are amazing! Since I'm following them and I'm more careful with my diet, I can see my Abs! Thanks for your knowledgeable Videos.
