There is just some areas on the body that are harder to target than others. That stubborn fat just won’t seem to go away, and there is one spot you’re most likely thinking of—the area on your hips and lower back, or “love handles” as some people call it. Unlike belly fat, which infiltrates your internal organs and is linked to everything from diabetes to heart disease to liver failure, that other type of unwanted fat is made of subcutaneous fat, which is located just below the skin, and sort of sits there. It’s not nearly as dangerous, but to be frank, it’s not always the best, aesthetically speaking. So if you’re ready to rid your body of this fat, it’s easier than you may think.
