Picking the right diet for losing arm flab can be extremely frustrating. Why? Because there is so much marketing hype that the truth has become hidden amongst all the lies.
I’m pretty sure you’re having a challenge finding the perfect diet
If so, many other women are feeling your pain. I believe that proper nutrition for getting toned arms has become very confusing. Not too long ago, I was very confused myself.
So without further ado, here are 4 cons of high carbohydrate dieting for losing bingo wings:
1. Sugar addiction danger. If you have a sugar addiction, a high carb diet can be a slippery slope towards sugar bingeing. After all, most high carb foods have sugar in them. And once you open the floodgates, it can be very hard to stop.
2. Poor insulin sensitivity. When done incorrectly, high carb diets can lead to insulin resistance. A state in which muscle has a hard time absorbing nutrients, so excess goes towards arm fat.
3. Oscillating levels of hunger. If you eat a large amount of carbs you run the risk of taking your blood sugar for a roller coaster ride. Why? Because carbohydrates have the biggest impact on blood sugar levels. The best way to counteract this is with an enormous vegetable intake.
4. Extremely slow fat loss. Expect very very slow fat loss when doing a high carb diet. If you’re looking for lightening quick results, then this type of diet is NOT for you.
Do you want to lose that arm flab ASAP? If so, high carb is not for you. In my experience, moderate to low carb intakes are best. Going low carb, however, isn’t necessary unless you are insulin resistant. How can you tell? If you have a relatively large abdomen, then you could be insulin resistant. Ignore all the marketing hype and stick to what has been proven by research. Only then will you achieve sexy arm success!
