How To Get Toned Arms Without Spending A Fortune On Supplements

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

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

To make matters worse, too many women keep the industry alive by spending money on nothing more than sugar pills. In all fairness, however, there are some supplements that do work and can really help in specific situations.

And having knowledge about ineffective supplements is beneficial so that you don't fall into the buying traps.

So here is how to get toned arms without letting your purse shrink because of a sugar pill:

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 drinks/pills. Tons of companies have jumped on the energy drink and energy pill bandwagon. And while these can help you stay alert and active in emergencies, they should NOT be a part of your regular consumption. They can damage your digestive lining, mask a sleep debt, reduce sleep quality without you being aware, etc.

3. MRP's. Also known as meal replacement powders, they come with the promise of being able to replace a meal. Well, the truth is that a packet of powder will never be able to rival a balanced meal in terms of nutritional quality.

4. Protein powders. Your body loves things that digest slowly. Whenever you speed up digestion whether it be with sugar or protein powders, bad things can happen. In this case, recovery is optimized with slower digesting protein sources.

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.

It's not necessary to spend a war chest on supplements if you want to get toned arms. After all, the majority of them don't even work. You'll get better results by saving the money and spending it on high quality food instead. - 17274
