6 Misconceptions About Arm Fat And Dietary Fat

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

If you want to lose loose arm fat you have to eat fat. Ironic, but true.

Dietary fat plays too much of an important role in the female body for it to be excluded from any effective arm toning nutrition plan. It's that important.

And here are 6 all too common misconceptions about arm fat and dietary fat:

1. Consuming a pile of fish oil pills is very healthy. If you have more than 3 grams of fish oil per day, you run the risk of developing atherosclerosis. Not good.

2. Some trans fatty acids are ok. Stay away from trans fat, stay far away. As proven by Harvard research, no amount of trans fat is acceptable. Eating trans fat is a sure-fire way to arm fat failure.

3. Plant saturated fat is just as bad as animal saturated fat. There is a huge difference between the two. And plant saturated fat is very healthy for you. Coconut, for instance, does wonders for the female body.

4. Omega-3's can be stored anywhere. Keep them in the fridge. Why? Because at room temperature omega-3's (walnuts, flax seeds) can become rancid relatively quickly.

5. Omega-enhanced chicken eggs can be very good for you. The omega-3 in the egg does not buffer the negative effect of the saturated fat in the egg. As long as eggs have saturated fat in them they will not be healthy.

6. The less fat the better. Actually, the more fat the better. Why? Because as your intake of dietary fat increases so will your levels of loose arm-fat-burning hormones. Eat fat to burn fat!

If you're really serious about getting rid of that loose arm fat, then you have to have a lot of dietary fat. About 30% of your calories should come from fat. However, you can go all the way up to 40%. After all, some of the healthiest diets in the world (i.e., Mediterranean) have about 45% of their calories coming from fat. So the next time someone tells you stop eating fat, ignore them! - 17274
