Many struggle with muffin tops which make a nightmare out of rocking a pair of jeans.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That pinchable fat on both sides of your stomach which sits on top of your favorite jeans is incredibly stubborn to lose. This might explain the numerous searches online on how to shed muffin top fat. Here is a practical and fast guide on how to get rid of muffin top.<\/span><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2361&utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=How_To_Get_Rid_Of_Muffin_Top\" target=\"_blank\"><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" width=\"777\"><source src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4-2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><\/a>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Love_Handles_Vs_Muffin_Top_What_Is_The_Difference\"><\/span><b>Love Handles Vs Muffin Top: What Is The Difference?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we look at how you can lose this fat, let us begin by clarifying the difference between love handles and muffin tops. Contrary to what some people think, there is no difference. The two terms refer to the same thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These refer to the excess fat or weight accumulated around the sides of your waist. It\u2019s what tends to be very visible when you wear a tight pair of pants, shorts, or a skirt. Although they can go by love handles, there is nothing to love about them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These also signal several health conditions such as obesity, and an increased risk of high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/what-are-love-handles\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experts suggest you measure your waistline regularly and maintain it within the proposed healthy limits. For example, women are advised to keep their waist circumference or size below 35 inches and men under 40 inches (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/diabetes\/managing\/healthy-weight.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Lose_Muffin_Tops\"><\/span><b>Can You Lose Muffin Tops?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, you can. However, let us clarify that it is not an overnight fix. Although some adverts suggest that there are quick ways of <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/swim-workout-for-triathlon\/\">losing this excess fat<\/a> around your waistline, science suggests otherwise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, science acknowledges that you cannot lose fat in only one specific area. So, although fitness gurus may have you thinking it is possible to spot-reduce fat, science argues otherwise. In reality, you shed fat evenly when you start exercising for any fitness goal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/best-exercise-to-lose-belly-fat\/\">The Best Exercise To Lose Belly Fat: Get Rid Of The Dreaded Muffin Top Once And For All<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Get_Rid_Of_Muffin_Top\"><\/span><b>How To Get Rid Of Muffin Top<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Of importance to note is that the journey is not a piece of cake.

It helps ease digestion, prevent constipation, and reduce muffin tops. According to Medical News Today, dehydration may lead to fluid retention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of this fluid may be stored around <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/exercise-to-lose-belly-fat-in-1-week\/\">your waistline<\/a>, further worsening the love handles (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/what-are-love-handles\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Drinking enough water counteracts this effect, making these love handles reduce in size, mainly because they were caused by fluid retention.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cutting_Out_Alcohol_And_Sugary_Foods\"><\/span><b>Cutting Out Alcohol And Sugary Foods<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weight gain has been linked to consuming sugary foods and drinks, and alcohol for the longest time. However, experts further acknowledge that these foods can also lead to love handles. Instead of such foods, experts suggest consuming a moderate and balanced diet (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/what-are-love-handles\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Such a diet can include legumes, dark leafy vegetables, and whole grains. These foods have high protein and fiber intake. These two nutrients increase satiety and prevent extra calories obtained from overeating (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/what-are-love-handles\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reducing_Stress_Less\"><\/span><b>Reducing Stress Less<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experts have also linked high-stress levels to an increased risk of muffin tops. They argue that your body releases the stress hormone cortisol when you are stressed. Unfortunately, cortisol affects your appetite and makes you overeat (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/features\/stress-weight-gain#1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Therefore, you will gain weight and muffin tops if you consume more calories than your body is burning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, the hormone increases insulin levels and drops your blood sugar levels in the blood. As a result, people crave sugary and fatty foods that lead to weight gain due to a calorie surplus (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/features\/stress-weight-gain#1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2361&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=How_To_Get_Rid_Of_Muffin_Top\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38884 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Frame-5514-1024x576.png\" alt=\"how to get rid of muffin top\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Frame-5514.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Frame-5514-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Frame-5514.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Frame-5514.png 1344w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_Adequate_Rest\"><\/span><b>Getting Adequate Rest<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lack of adequate sleep has also been tied to a bigger <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/cortisol-belly-fat\/\">waistline<\/a> and more love handles. Experts state that your metabolism suffers when you do not get enough sleep. Remember that metabolism plays a crucial role in the fat-burning process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The general rule is to burn more fat or calories when your metabolism is high. This means you suffer from a slow metabolism due to sleep deprivation, and the result is that you hardly torch calories. When you consume calories most of them are stored in your body in areas like your waistline.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eventually, the fat deposits increase and become muffin tops. Aim at getting enough sleep, ranging from 7 to 9 hours (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/what-are-love-handles\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>BetterMe app will provide you with a host of fat-frying fitness routines that\u2019ll scare the extra pounds away and turn your body into a masterpiece! <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2361&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=How_To_Get_Rid_Of_Muffin_Top\">Get your life moving in the right direction<\/a> with BetterMe!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2361&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=How_To_Get_Rid_Of_Muffin_Top\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38877 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Frame-5419-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Fitness App\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Frame-5419.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Frame-5419-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Frame-5419.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Frame-5419-1636x920.png 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Frame-5419.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exercising\"><\/span><b>Exercising<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is considered a significant and rewarding method for anyone who wants to lose love handles. Furthermore, it is an effective way to lose fat if you do it correctly. There are some key aspects that you need to note about exercising to lose muffin tops. They include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Targeting the Entire body.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0As mentioned earlier, you cannot lose fat at specific body parts. Instead, you lose fat evenly. What this means is that a love handle workout or a hip dip workout will not do the trick if it targets only these areas. Workouts must contain exercises that also work other muscle groups.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Combining Workouts.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0The magic formula for blasting muffin tops combines cardio, strength training, and core workouts (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/what-are-love-handles\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although you may spot changes, their effects are not as massive when combined with other training programs. With this in mind, talk to your trainer about designing an all-rounded workout plan to eliminate love handles.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Warming Up and Cooling Down.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Please keep in mind that exercising without warming up is very dangerous. You risk being injured from exercising with stiff muscles (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/fitness-exercise\/benefits-of-warmup-exercises#1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Warm for at least five minutes and with the appropriate exercises before performing your main routine.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, remember to perform a cool down. This helps your muscles relax after actively engaging them in the workout.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Consistency.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Consistency plays a significant role in shedding excess fat around your waistline. However, some people take longer than others to shed fat due to genetics. This means, exercising one day or one week will not do it for such people.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may take months, perhaps even a year. But, stay motivated and consistent, and eventually, you will lose these fat deposits.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Gradually Increasing the Intensity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The secret to losing muffin tops fast when performing any workout is to gradually increase the intensity. Be sure to increase the loads for your strength training programs and reps for your cardio activities over time.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This will help you burn more calories in every workout and eventually shed the muffin tops. Similarly, this will help increase muscle mass and strength and help you stay fit (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/what-are-love-handles\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).
