How to get rid of this part?

[Anonymous]

Need advice!

You mean your belly? Bet no more than 1-2 month of calorie deficit with excercise and you're good with your current leaness.
Get your maintance kcal per day and reduce by -500 cal. Then obviously track the food you're eating and excercise you do.

[Nirmroth]

Ah sry you mean your hips right? I have that too thats just having high waist bones. It won't go away bec its bone.

[Asker]

Yep, I wanna get rid of love handles. I'm taking on 14-16 fasting and I hope it works out.
It's just making me feel uncomfortable looking at this part when I take my clothes off. I do weightlifting and workout to get the shape that I want.
That's not hips, it's love handles

[Nirmroth]

Im pretty sure its hips you're already pretty lean. Just type in wide hips men and look in google images

[Asker]

I'm not sure
Is it normal?
I measured my hip this morning and it was 32

[Nirmroth]

32 what?

It is pretty normal, got different body types afterall. How shoulder bones can be wider than for others same with hips. Men with wider hips have it easier maintaining balance and are better sprinters. And if you worry bec of estethics just look at pic of bodybuilders with wide hips. It doesn't look bad in my opinion. can't really change bones either.

Look at this:


can't argue he got love handels seeing how lean he is

I really appreciate your advice. It was extremely helpful 👍👍

By creating an energy deficit. Either through food or movement. You can intermittent fast all you want. But if you're not in an energy deficit, the body won't see any need to convert the fat to either muscle or energy.

I read an article about this and I can confirm that your information is correct. I'll do as you advised. Thank a lot

[Sonorous]

Yeah I've lost weight & gotten decently lean before & the bulk of it was an energy deficit but another significant thing to consider is water weight. For instance, by the end of this current month I'll be 12% bodyfat, but I won't entirely look it until I've gotten rid of any bloat I might have from my diet or water intake. Water weight can add on like 10lbs & can really look like fat. It's why I don't really realize just how lean I am until I've made purposeful efforts to de-bloat &/or fix any gut issues I might have.

[Asker]

But will you lose fat after losing water weight?
I'm a bit confused

[Sonorous]

Water weight & fat gain are two separate things. Water weight can fluctuate by however much you retain the water that you consume. Gaining & especially losing fat is a much slower process.

[dustybiker2]

That's the first part of me to gain fat when I eat cake, so the last to burn off. I have a super fast metab and rarely see it. I would suggest fast past workouts. Just don't overdo it. Some fat is good for you and that in the image is so very little.

[Asker]

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it

[dustybiker2]

You are welcome.

Don't eat for 7 days. It will come right back, though. If you figure out a way to keep it off let us know!

[Asker]

I've switched on fasting for 14-16 and I quit feeling hungry all day.
Hope I get the effects I want

Situps and crunches. Plank exercises. It's actually WAY easier for guys to lose that than for girls to lose it.

[Asker]

Thanks
