Lose Those Love Handles

My wife was looking at my transformation pictures the other day and commented that I had also lost most of my 'love handles' fat. To be honest I had been so focused on my stomach that I hadn't even noticed these, but looking at the pictures I can certainly see what she meant.

As I've mentioned before on this blog it isn't possible to do spot reduction of your fat deposits using exercise or nutrition. If your body burns fat then it will burn it from everywhere. Mostly, as in my case, that is good news. If you've got visible fat then you've probably also got a lot of invisible fat clustering around your internal organs and for the sake of your general health it would be good to shed some of this too.

However for the ladies there is one downside, in so far as your boobs are predominantly fat and you can expect to lose a bit from these. Never mind, you're still going to look great and the guys are going to love your new toned-up figure.

If you really are determined to spot reduce them I'm afraid the only option is surgery. I'm planning to do a post on the risks of liposuction sometime soon.
