4 Arm Fat No No's

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Are you confused about proper nutrition for getting rid of flabby arms? Do you get a massive headache when thinking about getting toned arms?

If so, it's not your fault. The media combined with savvy marketers have created a whirlwind of confusion surrounding proper nutrition for arm fat loss.

I know because I used to be completely lost.

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

So without further ado, here are 4 flabby arm pitfalls to avoid:

1. Having large amounts of protein. There is a lot of good about protein, but when consumed in excess there is also a lot of bad. Make sure that no more than 30% of calories come from protein.

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. Allowing more than 5 hours pass between meals. Optimally, you want to eat every 3 hours for a wide variety of physiological reasons. 5 hours, however, is the absolute limit. Once you go past this time frame, arm-fat burning muscle gets wasted away.

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. - 17274
