You probably have tried different weight loss strategies but all to no avail. most people fail to lose weight (or love handles) because they omit the basics!
To lose love handles, you need to remove more fat than you take in. This is best in two steps; regulating the diet and adopting the right exercise.
Step 1; Diets
Diet can be regulated as follows,
1. drink plenty of water daily (3 litres or more)
2. Minimise the consumption of fried foods and cheeses
3. Limit processed sugar (candies, choclate,etc)
4. Fall in love with vegetables and fruits (you must take at least one fruit everyday)
5. Don’t be too strict on your diet regime. (yes, you need to regulate your diet but your body needs to be gradually acustomed to the change. your regime may backfire if its too strict and sudden
6. Be commited! Don’t fall into temptation of those cookies and candies.
7. Finally, eat 5 or 6 small meals daily. please do not skip your meals.

Step 2 ; Exercises
Exercise involves burning down fat and building up muscle
Start by a warm-up of about 10-15 mins.
Then move to aerobic exercises.
Cardio exercises can be of great help. but do not do too much. Too much of everything is bad.
Resistance training is also good in building muscles.
If you like the gym, then use the treadmill and the elliptical often.
Then do regular 20-25 mins walk sessions.
Weight carrying may also build muscle and diminish fat. Get great work outs here
Remember, muscle weighs more than fat, so you may probably notice your weight loss in your clothing than on the scales!
so get rid of love handles and stop jiggling while you walk!
