To lose weight in your bustline, you must eat a low-calorie diet and perform aerobic activity on a regular basis. You cannot control where you lose fat. However, making dietary and exercise lifestyle changes will help you lose fat from all areas of your body, including your bustline. In addition to losing weight, you can perform pushups regularly to help improve your bustline appearance.

Step 1

Eat fewer calories a day to lose weight throughout your body and bustline. Calories are units of energy in foods that help you perform daily functions. If you consume too many calories in foods and beverages, you will have difficulty losing fat. Because there are 3,500 calories in 1 pound of fat, reducing your intake by 500 a day will result in a 1-pound weight loss per week.

Step 2

Change your overall diet to lose weight in your bustline. No particular foods have been shown to help you lose bust fat, but eating low-calorie, healthy foods will help you lose fat throughout your body, including your bust. The United States Department of Agriculture recommends eating one-half plate of fruits and vegetables a day, one-fourth plate of whole grains and one-fourth plate of lean meat for optimum health.

Step 3

Exercise daily to lose weight in your bustline. In addition to performing regular aerobic exercise for 30 minutes a day, five days a week, you can include resistance exercise in your workouts. Although you cannot spot reduce, or perform exercises to lose weight in a certain area, you can do pushups regularly to tone your chest. Specifically, pushups work your pectoral muscles to firm your bustline. Set a goal to perform at least 30 pushups three times a week to improve the appearance of your bust.

Tips and Warnings

  • Measure your bustline once a week to measure your progress.
