Love handles are disgusting.  I don’t think anyone finds them attractive in way, unless a person loves fatties.  Love handles accumulate as the overall body fat percentage increases.  This is more of a problem for men, as men hold most of their fat in their waistline, and women hold most of their fat in their butt and thighs.

Being an Orange County Personal Trainer, I have seen many bodies, both men and women, that are carry large of amounts of fat around their waist.  And it is not pretty.

The best way to get rid of love handles to decrease overall body fat, through a combination of weight resistance, diet, and cardio.  You should lift weights about 3 to 4 times per week for at least 45 minutes.  Do some abdominal work about 2 times per week, but there is no need to work your oblique muscles directly. 

Eat a clean diet, consisting of more raw foods.  Count your calories, so you know exactly what you are taking in.  This is crucial for continued success. 

And as far as cardio, I recommend interval training such as wind sprints and stadiums.  This type of stop and go cardio will help burn alot of fat and shake alot of it off your butt and hips.
