4 Things Not To Do When Reducing Caloric Load For Toned Arms

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

You have to cut calories if you want toned arms, there is no way around this. Unfortunately, too many women go overboard here.

How many times have you heard of someone going on a 1000 or 1200 calorie diet? This is extremely common and very unhealthy.

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. Staying out of the gym. Muscle needs to be fed lots of calories and your body doesn't like that-especially when it's being deprived of calories. So the best way to make your body keep your muscle when dieting is to lift weights.

4. Avoiding balanced meals. I know this sounds basic, but so many women get caught up with taking pills and powders yet their meals are horrible! Never forget that the most important part of getting toned arms is eating balanced meals with loads of vegetables.

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! - 17274
