Daily exercise is one of the best ways to accomplish this. Not just any exercise will do. Your focus should be on aerobic exercise. With aerobic exercise you will notice an increased heart rate and better blood flow. Aerobic exercise demands more energy causing your body to burn more fat. Three times a week for thirty minutes of an aerobic workout will do the trick. In order to really burn some fat you will need to increase that to 4 if not 5 times per week. Another helpful tip is to practice proper posture. It takes energy to sit up and stand up straight all day. This energy requires the burning of calories. If you are used to slouching then sitting up straight, especially in the beginning, can be a form of exercise all by itself. In addition to helping you burn calories, practicing proper posture can help reduce the appearance of the love handles that you are carrying around. Walking around with proper posture is even more of an exercise. It is actually slimming to have proper posture. Slouching around makes your love handles look bigger than they really are.
It’s a good idea to make your diet consist, as much as possible, of “low energy density” foods.
These type of foods have the most nutritional value. Some common low energy density foods include fruits and vegetables. Your body can use almost everything these foods contain. At the other end of the spectrum are high energy density foods, which you should stay away from, as they have little nutritional value. Many of these foods can be considered junk foods, and are usually high in sugar, unhealthy carbohydrates and/or unhealthy fats. These type of foods only make it easy for your body to store more fat!
