4 Key Things To Consider When Eliminating Calories To Tone Up Your Arms

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

If you really want to tone up your arms, you have to reduce your caloric load. But don't think that more is better, because it's not!

And too many women are getting said consequences. How many friends of yours have gone on ultra low, 1000-1200 calorie diets? I bet more than a few. Keep in mind that these extremes put the female body under a lot of stress.

If you want toned arms, never cut calories by more than 20%. That's the limit. Anything above and beyond that will shut down your arm-fat-burning hormones.

Now most women associate a calorie cut with massive lethargy. But this doesn't have to be the case. In reality, you can actually be MORE energetic if you do things the right way. Thus, here are 4 things not to do when reducing caloric load for toned arms:

1. Using supplements as meal replacements. Nothing beats regular food for satiety and health. If you stick to powders and pills to fill up your gut, you'll be very hungry all the time. Not good if you want toned arms.

2. Eating once a day. This is probably the worst way to eliminate calories from your diet. It's a surefire way to shut down the arm-fat burning process in your body. Instead, eat with a very high frequency. This becomes extremely important when cutting calories for toned arms.

3. Not lifting weights. It takes a lot of calories to keep muscle. So the first thing your body will do when you restrict calories is burn muscle. How do you stop this? By lifting weights.

4. Not eating balanced meals all the time. Does this sound like an echo from the past? That's because we've become so obsessed with super foods and magic pills, that we've forgotten about the importance of eating balanced meals. Having balanced meals is the best thing you can do to accelerate the burning of arm fat. And make sure you have lots and lots of vegetables. They will mechanically slow down the digestion of whatever you are eating.

Getting toned and sexy arms does require a bit of calorie cutting, but it doesn't have to be stressful. In fact, it can be quite simple. The key is to not go overboard and to maintain balance. Also make sure to follow my tips! - 17273
