Lose those Lovehandles!

So, if you haven't noticed yet, I'm just going to lay it on the line and let you know that, yes, I am a nerd. And as a nerd, I never take anything at face value. Meaning, if someone were to say "eat 5 apples a day to help lose your lovehandles" I would ask "what is it in apples that helps oxidize fat?" Yeah. Nerd-esque I know! So what I've done for you in this blog is explain what lovehandles are. Why they develop. And how to get rid of them, with specific tips and tricks.

What are lovehandles?

Lovehandles are located above your iliac crest (hip bone) and are excess adipose (fatty tissue) that collects over top of your oblique muscles (part of your core muscles).

Carrying excess fat around our waist isn't just a body image concern, because we all hate the way they fall over the back of our jeans, but large lovehandles and excess abdominal fat can lead increase your risk of developing serious health risks like: cardiovascular disease, diabetes and high blood pressure (hypertension).

BREATHE! Don't worry if you have small lovehandles! Everyone carries excess fat! It can be a good thing!

Healthy Lunch Idea! What I ate today March 7, 2011

Nom Nom Nom....

Today for lunch I am having a whole wheat bagel topped off with plain, low-fat cream cheese, sliced cucumbers and a sprinkle of black pepper. For my afternoon snack, which I will probably eat around 3:00 pm, will be homemade roasted red pepper and green olive hummus with stone-wheat crackers. YUM! 


I analyzed these two recipes using the recipe analyzer on the Dietitians of Canada website and found the following:


~450 calories
75 grams of carbohydrates
10 grams of fiber (yay!)
16 grams of fat (this may be skewed because I made my own hummus with no a lot of olive oil)
20 grams of protein
939 milligrams of sodium (again because EaTracker only has a 'generic hummus' option)


It took me 5 Minutes to make this lunch this morning! 


Hope you enjoy!
