You have to cut calories if you want toned arms, there is no way around this. Unfortunately, too many women go overboard here.
How many times have you heard of someone going on a 1000 or 1200 calorie diet? This is extremely common and very unhealthy.
If you want toned arms, never cut calories by more than 20%. That’s the limit. Anything above and beyond that will shut down your arm-fat-burning hormones.
It’s also important to note that a reduction in calories doesn’t have to translate into a reduction in energy. You can actually end up with more energy than before if you do things the right way. So here are 4 things you should not do when eliminating calories to tone up your arms:
1. Using supplements to substitute regular food. Very few supplements actually work. The regulation of dietary supplements in our country is broken, seriously. Moreover, regular food will always leave you more satisfied than a supplement. And it’s healthier!
2. Eating like a snake. Snakes eat with a very low frequency and you should NOT be doing this. Whenever reducing calories, eating frequently becomes extremely important.
3. Not lifting weights. It takes a lot of calories to keep muscle. So the first thing your body will do when you restrict calories is burn muscle. How do you stop this? By lifting weights.
4. Avoiding balanced meals. I know this sounds basic, but so many women get caught up with taking pills and powders yet their meals are horrible! Never forget that the most important part of getting toned arms is eating balanced meals with loads of vegetables.
Getting toned and sexy arms does require a bit of calorie cutting, but it doesn’t have to be stressful. In fact, it can be quite simple. The key is to not go overboard and to maintain balance. Also make sure to follow my tips!
