December 27th, 2011Use the benefit of jogging exercise to lose love handles If you are anything like I was many years ago you might describe yourself as \’cuddly\’ or \’huggable\’. Anything to disguise the fact that you\’re a little overweight and have a few rolls of unsightly fat around your middle. If this is you then you might want to learn the secret of how to get rid of love handles. Sorry, there\’s no secret way to eliminate love handles but I can tell you about how I managed to lose my love handle fat. It didn\’t happen overnight and I did have to work at it but slowly the fat around my middle and other parts of my body started to melt away and I\’ve managed to stay reasonably lean for many years now.
Lean proteins are important to maintain muscle while losing fat. High fat proteins are not only bad for your weight and size but can be harmful to your health. It is also well known that highly processed meats are linked to certain health risks and diseases. Strive to eat wholesome, lean proteins like fish, chicken breast, turkey breast, flank steak or tempeh for vegetarians.
The next step is to introduce some regular exercise. This will burn off some of the calories that you consume allowing you to at least eat something. When you decide what type of exercise you are going to do you should pick something that you\’ll enjoy doing and can see yourself doing regularly and consistently. That way you\’ll be able to keep it up for a long time to come.
You should also check how much fat you are taking in, especially saturated fat because it can block the nerves to your heart. Such would be the cause of heart problems. Avoid saturated fat and prefer the unsaturated ones because they contain good cholesterol which help fight bad cholesterol in your body.
While not a food, water is just as important as part of your weight loss diet. Water helps clear your body\’s blood, lymph and even liver and kidneys. Do not make the mistake that soda can replace water for the sugar or side effects of diet soda counteract any amount of water contained.
The calorie burned jogging in 30-minutes 6 times a week will be roughly 1800 calories a week. Another rough rule of thumb suggests that 1 pound of body fat is equal to 3500 calories. At this rate you should lose about 1 pound of weight every 2 weeks, which is a very slow but healthy way to lose weight. This assumes of course that your weight was stable before you took up the exercise and that you don\’t eat more than you did before.
As a whole, when it comes to losing any weight, it is best to remember that it always pays to be patient. Healthy weight loss will not only help you lose weight, become more confident and feel more beautiful – it will also teach you the virtue of discipline.
