Supplements To Avoid When Trying To Get Toned Arms

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

The supplement industry is highly unregulated. So unregulated that the majority of supplements simply do not work.

Unfortunately, many women spend countless amounts of money every year only to find that the magic pills aren't getting them anywhere. Having said that, there are certain supplements that are effective for very specific applications.

But knowing what not to take is just as important as knowing what to take.

So without further ado, here are supplements you should NOT be spending money on when trying to get toned arms:

1. Aminos. Fitness buffs love amino acids. In fact, some of the more hardcore bodybuilders will constantly eat them every hour to optimize muscle growth. Unfortunately, amino acids compete for absorption in your body. So taking them in high quantities is NOT a good idea.

2. Energy formulations. First we saw red bull, then a whole host of other companies hit the market each offering the next best bang. The main problem with all of these drinks and pills is that their high caffeine content wreaks havoc on the female body from many different physiological standpoints. Only use them in emergencies.

3. Meals in a bag. Meal replacements are everywhere. But the truth is that a bunch of powdery stuff in a bag will never be able to match a properly balanced meal in its nutritional entirety. Whole food simply has way too many undiscovered nutrients and compounds that supplements do not.

4. Tubs of protein. The supplement industry would have you believe that taking endless scoops of protein will help you burn fat, build muscle and live forever! Well, the truth is that your body does a much better job of absorbing protein in its solid form.

5. Fat blockers. Stay away from anything that blocks the absorption of fat. Dietary fat is critical for the production of arm fat burning hormones in your body. It also helps get more nutrients into your active tissues.

If you're trying to get toned arms please do not waste your money on ineffective supplements. Your purse may get lighter but your arms will not! Stick to whole foods and you'll reach your sexy arm goal much quicker. - 17273
