An amped-up workout can help. A review in the Journal of Obesity found that women who did high-intensity interval workouts burned more of the subcutaneous belly fat that causes love handles than women who exercised longer at a lower-intensity, steady pace.

高强度锻炼会有帮助。《肥胖》期刊的一篇评论指出，比起以较低强度持续锻炼更长时间的女性，做高强度间隔训练的女性燃烧的腹部皮下脂肪更多。正是这些脂肪导致了腰间赘肉。

事实纠正：喝排毒果汁就能一劳永逸地瘦身——这是个神话。我重复一遍，这是个神话。长远来看，锻炼与营养膳食的合理搭配才能减少腰间赘肉。
