No matter how much you try to hide it, the bulging side fat that protrudes above your pants... Here's how to get rid of it.

 

No matter how hard I try to lose it, there's a part that doesn't come off easily and makes me sigh every time I look in the mirror. It's the 'love handle fat.'

Especially, the love handles stand out more and become more noticeable when wearing tight-fitting pants.

If you're stressed about side fat that shows even when you try to pull down your top with all your might, try the 7 methods introduced below.

 

If you diligently follow it for just one month, you will be able to achieve a noticeably improved physique.

 

1. Consume protein foods

Proteins help prevent muscle loss when you reduce your food intake to lose weight.

It also helps to create a feeling of fullness, helping to resist the temptation of snacks.

 

Eat foods high in unsaturated fats

Bad fats should be removed, but good fats do not need to be removed.

Unsaturated fats, known as the "good fats," help lower harmful cholesterol levels in the body, assist in detoxification, and prevent cardiovascular diseases.

Typical healthy regional foods include almonds, salmon, egg yolks, and cheese.

 

Eat 500 calories less than usual.

Suddenly reducing calorie intake while dieting causes our bodies to start conserving energy usage, leading to a vicious cycle of deteriorating health.

However, consuming 500 calories less does not strain the body and can only eliminate unnecessary fat.

 

4. Drink water frequently

Drinking an average of 7 glasses of water a day can help reduce side belly fat.

Since our bodies automatically maintain fluid balance, drinking water frequently stimulates metabolism and helps eliminate waste products.

Additionally, drinking water before meals can help suppress appetite.

 

5. Attempt intermittent fasting

Intermittent fasting involves eating freely for only 8 hours out of a 24-hour day and maintaining a fasting state for the remaining 16 hours.

When fasting, our body primarily uses fat among many energy sources.

Therefore, if you consume the minimum required calories for a day over 8 hours and then maintain fasting, you can see excellent results in removing side fat.

 

6. Always take a rest period after exercising.

Exercise acts as a stress factor on the body, so recovery time must always be provided.

Otherwise, the level of the stress hormone 'cortisol' can increase significantly.

Cortisol is involved in the process of supplying energy needed for muscle movement, but prolonged exposure to cortisol can actually lead to fat being stored around organs, resulting in visceral obesity.

 

7. Get enough sleep every day

When sleep is insufficient, our body's leptin levels decrease and ghrelin levels increase.

Leptin is a hormone produced in fat cells that signals the brain to feel full, while ghrelin is a hormone that stimulates appetite.

If you do not get enough sleep, you will never feel full no matter how much you eat.
