Like some of you stated the muffin top could mean your body isn't working right... Young Living has some great options. Feel free to look me up to get some natural vitamins/mineral supplements that will reduce your muffin top... and yes, buy correctly fitting clothes in the mean time until you have a crazy fit body you can sport in the clothes you currently have.

Thanks for the tips. I am desperately trying to get rid of my muffin top for some of my tighter jeans. Also found some good tips at http://getridofbackfat.org for getting rid of some of my upper back fat.

Eating fat can be confusing when it comes to weight loss. In fact eating some fats can actually help you lose weight. It's just a matter of knowing which ones are the right ones. If you are confused check out my article on the different types of fat. http://www.noexcusefitness.com.au/nutrition/types-of-fat-can-you-eat-fat-and-lose-weight/

Those low ride jeans are a muffin top stuffer. I agree on a good fit, or wear a spandex underneath

I agree! A little muffin top is unavoidable (unless you're crazy fit), but buying the right clothes for your shape is important. This is a little, um... unconventional... but eating a lot of fiber can also help. If your lower intestines build up too much, there can be a visible bulge (often noticed only by feeling like you're having a "fat day").

Weight loss is important, I'm not trying to say it's not... but if all you want to do it get rid of the 'muffin top' look, you might want to try buying clothes that fit better.

I would just like to add to not wear clothes that are too small for you. If you gain a few pounds (which happens and isn't the end of the world) and continue to try to wear the same size, you will most likely sport a muffin top. Wear properly fitting clothing and you will feel better and look better instantly.
