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 used to be lost among all the confusion.
The good news is that I’ve spent a large portion of my professional career figuring all of this out.
So without further delay, here are 4 arm fat no no’s:
1. Going overboard with protein. Protein has a lot of benefits, but if you have too much the benefits quickly vanish. How much is too much? More than 30% of your total caloric intake.
2. Assuming whole grains are key to arm fat loss. Whole grains are healthier than most processed alternatives. However, whole grains are not optimal for someone that is very sedentary. If you’re just starting out with losing arm fat, then whole grains are ok. But eventually you’ll want to transition into legumes.
3. Considering dietary supplements as being completely safe. If only the supplement industry were regulated, but it’s not. So until the government steps up and oversees the supplement manufacturing process, be very critical of what you put into your body.
4. Letting more than 5 hours go by between feedings. For maximum arm toning you want to eat every 3 hours. And to prevent any negatives make sure you never let more than 5 hours go by between meals. Why? Because your metabolism will sink.
Your quest to get toned arms should be as short as possible. The longer you have to plug away the higher the chances of abandonment. And if you avoid the above mistakes, you can save yourself a lot of time and headache. After all, getting sexy arms should be relatively fun, not a pain in the butt. Good luck!
