- If you want to know how to lose love handles forever and would prefer a simple 4 step plan for doing that, then you’ve found the right video. Here I’m going to show you a four step process for losing love handles and getting a trimmer waistline.
It starts, as it always does, with your diet. Any time you want to lose body fat you have to address the foods that you’re putting in your mouth first. And when you think about the fat around the waist, it’s just that, excess fat. There is nothing special about the love handles other than the fact that it is often times the very first to be deposited and the last to come off when dieting.

The issue is however, in an attempt to lose love handles, people diet too hard and wind up creating too high of a calorie restriction. Two things set you up for failure with this approach. First, any cut that large in calories is likely to cause too big a shift in the habits you currently have and it’s going to require too big of a departure from your current diet. Secondly, this big of a calorie restriction is often times going to leave you sluggish or tired and unwilling to put in the exercise effort to compliment the fat loss that you are achieving through diet alone.
The most important part of this though is that, with the love handles being the area of fat that is most reluctant and last to come off, you have to be able to stick to a diet plan for longer in order to see their eventual disappearance. A diet plan that is too restrictive is going to be hard to stick to long enough to allow this type of change to occur.
Instead, you want to aim for a much smaller deficit. Somewhere around 200 to 300 (or up to 500 maximum) per day is where you want to be in terms of a calorie deficit in order to see the types of longstanding results you want to see and the loss of body fat around the waist.
Now, with the diet and nutrition in check the next place you need to start fousing on is your workouts, or more specifically the type of exercises that you are doing. And shockingly, it’s not all about ab exercises or oblique exericses. In fact, you are going to want to train your lats if you want to create a visual differential between your upper back and waist that will immediately help to offset the appearance of a thick waist.
Exercises like the one arm lat pulldown done standing or kneeling are great options here.
The key is that you are focusing on pulling your elbow all the way down to your hip and attempting to almost wrap your elbow behind you to touch your spine. Obviously this won’t happen but it’s the complete contraction of the lats that you’re after, driving your elbow towards the origin of the lats on the pelvis to work this insertion and help assist in the visual narrowing of the love handles from behind.
Next, you have to work your abs.
Now this comes as no surprise since I’m sure you want your entire midsection to look good and not just your sides. But if you think of the obilques as a picture frame, your abs are the picture. Both need to be in good condition in order for them to look their best. It doesn’t matter what ab workout you follow as long as you are consistent. The abs can be trained daily, and nothing more than a 5 to 10 minute ab workout is needed in order to train the core and keep your waistline tight when combined with a good diet plan.
Finally, the obliques need your attention. You may have heard that training the obliques will give you a thick waist. This is a myth. The obliques are actually a waistline tapering muscle that, when trained and body fat levels are low enough, goes a long way towards giving you a ripped, lean midsection.
If you want to lose love handles you have to train your obliques. Any exercise that rotates from either the top down or the bottom up are good candidates for love handle exercises that will help you to get a trim waist.
When you combine this 4 step solution, you’ll see that your love handles will start to eventually disappear. Again, they will not be the first body fat to go. That will happen in the upper abs before it starts to be seen around the waist. If you combine what I’ve told you here you will be able to stick to your diet that will allow you to finally get rid of love handles once and for all.

can i mix multiple 22 days programs listed on the channel ?
Discovered your channel only a couple of days ago. Keep up the good work! and Thank you! I wish you had more of "absolute beginner over 50s" kind of videos. But, there are others covering that as well. Great content and the PT aspect of it, mentioning the possible harmful outcomes of certain movements ... priceless.
@athlenx hey Jeff what's your take about Nucleus overload? My son is young and impressionable, and he has been following a guy who ensures working a single muscle group for a whole month, then resting a whole week before moving to a new muscle group, is the "best way" to grow muscle. Which I believe is the credo behind this Nucleus Overload stuff.
Is all this same advice work for us ladies as well?
I would love it if you could address the lue raise. Good or bad, affected or not and the correct way to perform the lue raise. 🙏🏾
This is great Jeff but can you tell us how to find love and how to handle it forever?
keep lifting at the gym and ask the other gym bros to spot you. youll find love eventually
@@carlholland3819LMAO 🤣
Wait, Jeff? He isn't THE Tetris Jeff, is he?
Hahaha. Epic.
No one can tell you that.
- Key takeaway 1: Nutrition is the most important factor in losing love handles.
- Key takeaway 2: Focus on eating whole, unprocessed foods.
- Key takeaway 3: Create a calorie deficit by eating fewer calories than you burn.
- Key takeaway 4: Include strength training exercises that target the lats, abs, and obliques.
- Key takeaway 5: Be patient and consistent with your efforts.
Great summary
👍
Thank you 🫡
I would add to try and gain muscle mass over strength to speed metabolism and be precise with counting calories.
The milk I mix my protein shake with is 200 calories, tablespoon cod liver oil is 100 calories, spreads you put on bread contain alot more calories than you think and a litre of fruit juice can contain 400-700 calories and protein bar 250cal to name a few.
A litre of vegetable or most oils contains 8000 not 800 calories, that suprised me.
Most people (me previously) seriously underestimated their calorie intake.
Calory deficit could be an issue on some people. Dr Sten Ekberg covered the topic in great depth (and a former olympic decathlete)

Don't even know how you expect anyone to even take you seriously with such PFP.
@@alexsmith-gn4tpI’d rather be big and look big in a shirt than skinny with abs that only show when your shirt is off.

JUST CONTROL WHAT YOU PUT IN YOUR OWN MOUTH. Sigh, it’s so easy on paper. Keep up the good fight fellas, we’re in this together 💪🏻
Just add discipline.
Yeah I know it’s hard to control it … eating junk food is a problem too tho
Jk
@@Ghtxtgccdwwed445 Some people are just born with God blessed metabolism. If I eat just a regular burger, I gain like 5 pounds. Easy for some, harder for others
It’s that simple in the beginning, once you reach a certain point, your metabolic rate “fixes” itself and your caloric demand is lower, there is a limit to how little calories you can have and not want to consume more. At that point it’s more difficult to lose body fat, he never talks about this because he’s never experienced it himself.
I CANT 😭😭😭😭 ITS TO HARD😢
Before losing love handles my face is gonna look like a skull 💀
Exactly.
😂😂😂
EXACTLY
I’m convinced my body will start burning cartilage from my ears and nose before burning my god damn luv handles.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm living proof of a 6 year athlean x transformation from obese to being consistently permanently healthy
Good job man
@@arnoldw5399 🙏 thank you
Yea Jeff had helped me a lot too throughout high school.
I am impressed by your consistency in this game. I think most CZcamsrs would have quit a long time ago after saying everything they have to say about fitness
that also brings a lot of issues. Since its a niche subject and if you keep pumping out content youll eventually run out and put out videos that contradict each other.
I am staggered by how useful your vids are. Many years ago I started training and you did give me the big help, and now random videos like this remembers me how you did that. Good job
95% of removing unwanted fat is diet, but I believe exercise serves as a psychological component. Exercise puts one on the offensive in the war against fat. So I'm really glad Jeff covered both with the priority being diet.
Yup. Once you cut down carbs, body fat melts. But he's correct about love handles being the last to go.

How to Lose Fat (EAT CARBS!) ATHLEANx
"I believe excercise serves as a psychological component" Yeah you're apparently right
@@tribaldefender473Cutting HEALTHY carbs are not the key to losing fat.
@@deebee4575 actually, yes. The body will use fat as fuel, instead of glucose. That's what keto is all about.
Not all carbs are equal, but carbs are not essential, to begin with.
Wow! I’ve already watched this whole video and can confirm my love handles are gone. Thanks Jeff!
It haven’t even been a minute, bot
😂😂😂

No B.S.
Inspirational my friend
Cant believe ive been watching you since i was 16 im 30 now. True inspiration
Sir everytime I watch one of your videos I feel I have learned something crucial to add up to my workout plan. Watching your videos for over 3 years and using them I'm so happy where I am now.
I owe this happiness and satisfaction to this channel and a great athlete whom I admire, thank you Jeff!
As someone who started working out 3 months ago. I can tell you now, that once you start bringing your pelvis up and twisting with the leg lifts. Your abs will buurrrrn. The first time I did them. I wasn't lifting my pelvis up and I ended up tweaking my lower back for 2 weeks. Once, this man explained it to me and showed how it's done. I can actually feel my abs getting tighter and harder. I've been doing all the exercises I can from learning it here, and I've definitely felt and can see the gains.
Love it! Confirms im on the right track with my goals, nutrition, and training.
This was the best advise I’ve seen online! Thank you!
The satiety index has been the most useful tool for me. It basically compares foods and their ability to create a full-stomach feeling in a small number of calories
Potatomastered? ^^
Jeff Cavaliere your my hero bro, thats all I need right now
Love your no bs approach.....64, male.....still working on it!
Pragmatic and approachable. My son 17 and I 49 (yike) both benefitted from this.
Thanks again! Just starting todays workout and your motivation/ how-to-workout videos are the best so far. Good morning, from Hungary!
Great advise, good work, Jeff.
I’ve been waiting for this.. restarting today. 51 yrs old. Thank you.
Good luck 👍🏻
Excuses excuses.how long you been waiting for this video 51years😂

I dont have these much but it's an athlean vid. Worth a watch
No joke. I was gonna search for the same thing later tonight and man. Uffff. You are a legend
I feel like I watched something that shouldn't even be free. Jeff, I have been a fan, for I have no clue how many years, more than 10, and just want to say your videos are by far the best on CZcams.
Respect Jeff
Thanks mate ... Great info and motivational talk.
Im watching this channel frm long time. Every video he released u hv new thing to learn. ❤
5 min ab plan is dope!!! You have to do it almost every day.
Excellent video as always, thank you
Great tips, cheers Jeff 👍🏻
thanks for your advice, Jeff!!
You are the best....I employ your stuff daily.
great video, great info. I hate my love handles, but I will start implementing these tips to better get rid of them
Best fitness personality bar none. 13.5 M subs but somehow not enough. Good shit
Top down, good way to remember it
with you,i love your coaching. cheers
I'm to follow your videos to gain some progress this year. Stay awsome.
The right nutrition is a must. Body weight exercises that target the back, abs,obliques, lats, commit to your progress at one muscle at a time and be patient with the results by developing a very strong aesthetic body.
Thanks for the plan
Good. I was thinking about this.... And boom 💥 here is him
Never been late for your videos
what a great and interesting video. Short, to the point and also funny.
I want to thank you Jeff for the challenge of your abs everyday

I've been watching athlean x for over 5 years now and im proud to say ive gained over 50 pounds by eating more and never once touching a weight.
I just watch Him and everything works in the gym itself, right at the point

Right on when it comes to what “we” eat! Becomes hard as you get older. ~ Rick Age 73 ~
It would be nice to see a Ab Routine that works well with people that struggles with lower-back pain.
There's a bunch of exercices like leg raises that work really well for the abs, but can easily hurt your back.
Great video Jeff always coming out with the most informative videos!
I'm happy to learn that Jeff exists.
Great video
Pull ups actually go crazy too in just a month with different variations of pull ups I’ve seen more definition in my back
I started with intermittent fasting 6 weeks ago (16-8 scheme). The reasons for doing so were NOT related to losing weight bug rather to take advantage of overall health benefits. After six weeks, I've lost around 6 pounds and noticed a huge change in my love handles.... they're just melting away. Again, I eat whatever I want during my 8 hour eating window and it seems like my 16 hour fasting window really kicks my metabolism in gear to burn fat. This was becoming quite noticeable around week 3 or 4 of my IF. Just throwing it out there as it's an added benefit for reducing love handles.
I wanna try that intermittent fasting, can you please tell me what time is the best for me to start and finish eating and when to stop? And what do you think can I build muscle and go to the gym with intermittent approach?
Started the 16-8 over a year ago and haven't looked back. That and protein and fats as my primary nutrition source. Zero cardio and the fat melts away. Add in the 6-day push/pull/leg split and You're golden!
@@breal3647I highly recommend the book Fast, Feast, Repeat, it'll tell you everything you need to know about IF.
I started the 16-8 and have gotten my best results since I gotten older . I was able to keep my size and cut body fat alot easier
@@breal3647 don't eat between 6 pm and 10 am.
love it!
Can't promise on the obliques Jeff but you've given me some good ideas for hitting the last of my fat, thanks
Obliques are part of ab training. Include them in your daily ab routine. I just train them like any other muscle twice a week because I'm too lazy to do it every day.
once you get rid of the last of your body fat, your body will steal it from your organs. good luck
Thanks buddy
Great video! Thank you :-)
I have a question, related to the topic: Few weeks ago I saw a study and I would be interested in your thoughts about it. Unfortunately, the study didn't fullfill all criteria, such as tracking the subjects' diets, to be considered reliable. Anyway, the interesting fact was the aim of the study: "Is it possible to increase the fett burning in specific areas of the body?" And the study was successful. Test subjects in the experimental group trained only stomach and breast, while the control group did full body workouts. After their daily workouts, both groups did cardio training for a specific amount of time. This resulted in the control group losing more fat at all. But the amount of burned fat in stomach and breast region was much higher at the experimental group subjects.
As far as I remember, the assumption was something like: "Our bodies always try to use the shortest possible route for energy supply. This is why more fat is burned near the currently activated muscles than in other places."
Do you know the study? What do you think about it?
PS. If someone has a link to the study, feel free to share. I can't find it at the moment :-/
Hello Atlean-X - I'm a 62 year old man who started exercising at 16. I was in the best shape of my life at 25 but then the gout started up so every two to three months (sometimes sooner), it would flare up and I would not be able to exercise for a week or two. After a few years of this vicious cycle, I just stopped working out altogether. I gained a few pounds (a few meaning 40+ pounds) and could not walk more than 20 minutes without having to stop for another 10 to give my aching joints and feet a break. Fast forward to age 47 when I became a dad. I did not want my son to have an old dad so started working out again. "Do it for the baby!" was my battle cry. I also got my gout under control with no flareups in years. I dropped more than 30 of those pounds but know that I have also lost pounds of muscle during my years of inactivity. I know folks my age can regain muscle but I have been finding it hard to do so when training like I used to way back when. Is that my mistake - to train like I did when I was 25? I have also upped my protein intake and will be starting creatine soon. I plan on using this video to help me lose my love handles and was wondering if you had a video or advice on how this old fart can regain muscle? Much appreciated.
Do his perfect beginner workout video
I gave up. Pepperoni pizza time.
I am your big fan
This absolutely works. I did it on accident lol.
Wow 😳 that was really a no bullshi** guide 😂😂 great info.
Are love handles strongly related to insulin resistance?
Hope this will work 🙏🏽
Hi great vid and will implement. However, does hormones play a role in regards to stored fat/love handles. Like insulin, Low testosterone etc? Even when in a calorie deficit
I make homemade veg soup and blend a large glass for breakfast and eat one orange and apple. I repeat this in the afternoon. I have one cut of meat with two pieces of bread and that fills me. I have no trouble following this diet and when I have tried to step away from it for a regular meal, I didn't enjoy it. I found it was uncomfortable in my stomach, so that stopped. In two months I have very noticeable definition in my stomach again. It's as though all the work I did with pilates it resurfacing on it's own. Muscle has memory, so ....
Ohh yeah i cant wait my whole building and weight loss has come to this final part of loosing those pesky love handles! After that i will reach my dream physique. And i hope everyone gets there too good luck guys!
Yo my big hips are literal bones I can’t get rid of them 💀
Watching this because it's the only thing I know is not my problem
I'm still "pinching an inch" around there but I'll give all this a try, thanks.
Love from India😊
I love that Video..
Instead of a caloric deficit, can't one just hold caloric intake constant and wait for muscle growth to force a higher caloric need causing the body to consume most adipose tissue in a 1 to 2 year period?
