💎 What Are Love Handles?

Love handles refer to localized fat deposits that accumulate along the sides of the waist and lower back, commonly known as the flanks. These areas can be particularly resistant to exercise and healthy lifestyle habits due to genetics, body composition, hormonal influences, and individual fat distribution patterns.
