    Best way to get rid of "Love handles" ?

    I've been working out/running for many years, but I can't seem to get rid of my love handles. I'm 20 and I say I eat fairly healthy. I think I do have what you would call a high carb diet though.

    Any excersises or diet suggestions? I appreciate the help ( p.s, sorry if this is the wrong forum, new guy :P )

    a caloric deficit

    to expand: spot reduction doesn´t work, so no exercise can help burn the fat in a specific area. Genetics determine the way fat is stored. For me, love handles are the last place to go when I cut down.

    xuaxace is correct. you need to put less of the fork in your mouth. simply 'eating healthy' doesn't cut it. are you aware you can get just as fat or spin your wheels eating plain chicken and brown rice? learn some more about nutrition and eating at a deficit, it's quite simple.

    The heavy carb diet...particularly when not balanced with proteins, fat etc...can be detrimental for those looking to loose weight. But, it's also very conducive for weight lifters...
    Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.

    Gotta lose weight via a caloric deficit (Yes, that means count your calories and macronutrients). I "eat healthy" too and still can gain/lose weight depending on how many calories I eat.
