Fat arm confusion is rampant. Never have women been more confused about how to get toned arms.
How did this ever come to be? I personally believe that ultra aggressive marketing campaigns are to blame. And to make matters even more confusing, scientific research is usually quite ambiguous.
Now if the gurus have a tough time detangling the research, how is the average women supposed to? Luckily, I have already done this for you.
So without further ado, here are 4 fat arm pitfalls exposed:
1. Giving supplements priority over whole foods. Ignore the labels and outlandish claims. Whole foods will always trump supplements. Our bodies have evolved to absorb food in its natural form, not pills.
2. Loading up on fiber. Metamucil is everywhere! Unfortunately, research has shown that supplementing with fiber can increase colon cancer risk. It’s speculated that the free radicals from processing cause this. Not good!
3. Assuming you should be thin to win the sexy arm battle. Well, contrary to popular belief, being thin is no guarantee of being healthy. Even worse, being thin is no guarantee of having toned arms. I’ve seen thin women with horrible blood lipid profiles and very flabby arms!
4. Thinking carbs are the only macronutrients that can mess with insulin. I have some bad news: saturated fat and high protein intakes can also mess up your insulin levels. So make sure you are eating with balance across all foods.
Ok, now you know 4 mistakes you shouldn’t make in your journey to get sexy and lean arms. And knowing what to avoid is extremely important in any endeavor. After all, time spent doing useless things is time that could be used to get you closer to your goal.
