You Can't Get Slim Arms With Trans Fat In Your Diet

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Your body needs healthy dietary fat to function properly. However, were you aware that one type of fat is hidden in many foods and causes a high amount of deaths every year? This killer is called trans fat.

How was this killer born? Well, during the 1900's a couple chemists figured out that hydrogenation extended the shelf life of vegetable oils. Too bad they didn't know how much damage their new discovery would cause.

Trans fats became the single nutrient responsible for the highest amount of annual deaths in the United States.

The bottom line is that trans fatty acids alter your metabolic process so much that obtaining slim arms becomes a pipe dream. It really doesn't matter how hard you train, except if you're an Olympic athlete.

Still not convinced? Here are 4 additional reasons on why you should stay away from trans fat like the plague:

1. They kill at least 30,000 people per year in the U.S. This figure is according to the most CONSERVATIVE estimates from Harvard University. This number is likely to be much higher. And it doesn't take into account all the excess arm fat gain created by trans fat.

2. No amount of consumption is ok. Food industry buffs say it's ok to have a little in your diet. But the brightest minds from Harvard and Stanford say that no level of intake is safe. I think you should listen to the academics

3. They increase internal body fat. Specifically, they do a great job at raising triglycerides-the storage form of fat in the female body. How do you expect to get slim arms when you're raising internal body fat levels???

4. They raise the worst type of cholesterol. What's the worst type? Dense LDL particles. In other words, they clog up your arteries which is not good for your heart and they reduce circulation which is not good for getting thin arms.

I hope this article doesn't scare you. You shouldn't be afraid of food! However, I do hope that it educates you and motivates you to stay away from trans fats. It's quite rare for a single nutrient to have such harmful effects on the female body. Usually, a whole range of factors are too blame for excess body fat. Yet trans fat are an exception here. So if you want thin and slim arms, make sure you adopt a zero intake policy! - 17274
