If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit.
Here are the golden rules:
Initially cut down to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) calories.
Exercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved if you don't have the access.
Don't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise.
Drink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day.
Limit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day.
Never eat dinner after 6pm.
Adopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!
Make low fat dairy choices
Follow this menu plan as a suggestion:
Breakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon
20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR
fruit salad w low GI soy yogurt
Snack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)
Lunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)
Snack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt
Dinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato
Snack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)
Exercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between.
Cardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. If you have access to a gym include boxing and spin classes as well. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes.
To maintain you can increase calories to 1500 (women) - 1800 (men) and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) cal and 6 sessions again.
Good luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

Right, first of all, don't get drawn in by all the fad diets and so called 'wonder ab machinery' thats out there. Everyone has got a six pack, its just the layer of fat on top that prevents anyone seeing it. The best thing to do is to eat healthy and cut your calorie intake by about 100 calories below recommended daily intake (2500 calories for men, 2000 for women) and run a couple of times a week. Do this for about two to three weeks, if no change, then cut the calories by a further 100. This should work. Do not starve yourself what ever you do, infact its best to eat every 2-3 hours with small portions, this keeps your metabolism steady (keeps blood sugar levels steady), your energy levels will rise too. Hope this helps.

Love handles, yeah right. Since this is also my BIGGEST problem I have several great suggestions that have chiseled alot of the excess love away on my waist! Protein is one of the best for burning fat, if your metabolism needs a jump start and you are over thirty LOTS of it! 2 months ago I decided that my 28.5 inch waist wasn't quite doing it for me and when I started to see hang over when I wore tighter pants that put me on a mission! I started each day with a protein drink, orange or apple and a banana. Later on in the day I drink another protein drink and have another fruit or veg. I eat a light meal , fish, chicken, no red meat only cause I don't like it, and dairy product, I eat early and will not eat anything after 8pm. I allow myself treats small, controlled so I don't feel like I am being punished for having a spare tire! Then the most important thing I did, I started to play tennis, 3-4 times a week and at least an hour at a time sometimes 2. I also incorporated ORB ball routine 10 minutes before and after I go to sleep-get up! The ORB ball allows you to exercise muscles that are hard to get in traditional exercise. You also get a great stretch out and will see those thing melt off like snow!

Trying to lose fat on your sides of your waists, or you obliques, is something referred to as "spot reducing." But contrary to about every weight-loss infomercial, spot reducing doesn't work. The body burns off fat more or less uniformly throughout your entire body and if you're having trouble with your waist, chances are a small waist will be one of your later weight loss victories, it's a problem area. But don't worry, if you stick to a good diet and exercise regiment, with some patients and purpose you'll obtain you're golden waist size.

Cut back your calories by 500 per day. Cut out the sweets and the fatty foods. Eat smaller meals spread throughout the day. Start waking everyday gradually increasing the distance. Join a gym to tone your muscles. Do sidebends without weights as well as crunches and knee-ins.

Walk that should contribute for 10000 steps atleast for a day. Out of this 5000 atleast as a morning walk. When you are taking food, when you feel some more is required at that stage move your head left to right, that is sideways and not up and down.

Exercise strengthens muscles, but has no direct effect on fat. You get rid of fat by taking on less fuel (food) than you need to power your day. Over time, stored fat is used up as fuel. Spot reducing is a myth.

When you loose fat it goes evenly from all over the fat areas.
Go for walks in the morning and work out with light weights at home .So just exercising the sides wont do it.
Go to http://fit-n-fat.blogspot.com there you will find exactly the right way to do it and you will have fun at the sama time.
Take care
