4 Flabby Arm Pitfalls

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

There are too many women that are utterly lost when it comes to proper eating for losing arm fat. Are you one of them?

If so, don't beat yourself up over it. After all, it's all the marketer's fault, not yours. They have successfully created a giant tornado of arm fat confusion.

I used to be lost among all the confusion.

The good news is that I've spent a large portion of my professional career figuring all of this out.

Thus, here are 4 arm toning mistakes that I discovered along the way:

1. Going overboard with protein. Protein has a lot of benefits, but if you have too much the benefits quickly vanish. How much is too much? More than 30% of your total caloric intake.

2. Viewing whole grains as healthy. Whole grains are definitely better than Twinkies, but they're not the holy grail of arm fat loss. If you lead a highly sedentary lifestyle, whole grains should NOT be a big part of your diet.

3. Assuming supplementation is fine. I have some shocking news: supplements are not regulated in the U.S. There could be anything in that bottle. Just because there is some certification on the label doesn't mean it's healthy.

4. Leaving large gaps of time between meals. How much is large? More than five hours. Once you go past five hours, expect a significant decrease in metabolism. Not good for maximum arm toning. And if possible, try to eat every 3 hours. This type of eating schedule will give you the fastest results.

Avoiding the above flabby arm pitfalls will make the process of getting toned arms that much easier. Getting lean and sexy arms doesn't have to be that hard. In fact, with the right approach, it can be relatively easy. Don't fall for all the marketing hype and stick to the objective facts. Only then will you be able to get rid of those flabby arms once and for all. - 17273
