We’ve been bombarded with information promoting the health benefits of dietary fat. What’s all the hoopla about? Well, for one, dietary fat in sufficient amounts increases levels of arm-fat burning hormones in the female body.

Another thing to consider is that dietary fat really helps to slow down digestion. And the slower you are digesting food the faster you’re burning off that arm fat.

Thus, here is a quick summary of dietary fat for losing arm fat:

1. Triglycerides: A storage fat, triglycerides are mainly found underneath your skin. They prevent your arms from looking toned. When somebody says they want to lose fat, they are usually referring to triglycerides.

2. Sat fat: Short for saturated fat, you should make sure that there aren’t high levels of this stuff in your diet. It will set back your sexy arm mission by many steps. How? By increasing insulin resistance. In other words, your body’s ability to process carbs.

3. Omega-9 fat: Also known as monounsaturated fat, omega-9 fat does a really good job at minimizing inflammation in the body. Olive oil falls into this category and is great for cooking because it resists high temperatures.

4. Omega-3 and 6 fats: Called polyunsaturated fats, these are probably some of the most healthy molecules you can put into the female body. But don’t overdo it here. If you have more than 3 grams of fish oil per day, you run the risk of heart damage.

5. Trans fatty acids: You should stay away from these at all costs. They cause some serious damage at the cellular level. It’s estimated that they’re responsible for 30,000 U.S. deaths per year. Processed foods are usually laden with trans fats.

If you really want to get rid of bingo wings, you have to have a serious amount of healthy fat in your diet. Do not avoid fat just because it’s higher in calories. It simply does too much good for the female body.
