There is a lot of advice and tips out there on how to lose arm fat. Some of it is good, some of it is ridiculous.
Now because there is a lot of money to be made selling arm fat solutions, the good science can sometimes be taken for marketing hype, vice versa. So how do you separate fact from fiction?
This can be extremely challenging unless you have a higher education in the field.
Thus, here are 4 arm fat misconceptions you have to avoid so that you can finally get sexy arms:
1. Formulas are the end all be all. Some formulas are more accurate than others. And although they provide a basic starting point for how many calories you should be eating, do NOT assume their values are accurate. In some cases, they will be very off target.
2. Arm toning should hurt. Eating the right way to lose arm fat does NOT have to hurt. In fact, your energy should increase if you do it with a sensible approach. What kind of approach? One with a ridiculous amount of vegetables, resistance training and slow carbs. All of these will actually increase your energy even though you’re eating less calories.
3. You have to eat clean forever, or else. Your body will NOT be the same once you lose all the arm fat. You’ll have a heightened ability to absorb and process nutrients. A lot of this will come from an increase in insulin sensitivity and an increase in basal metabolic rate.
4. Cravings are unavoidable. There are many herbs that can completely shut off your cravings. Yerba mate is a perfect example here. Moreover, there is a multitude of sweeteners that come very close to tasting exactly like sugar. So if you play your cards right, cravings do NOT have to haunt you even when restricting calories. Now the main exception here is if you restrict calories to the extreme. In this case, hunger will eventually overtake you.
Now please don’t be overwhelmed by all the advice floating around. Learning how to lose arm fat doesn’t have to give you a mental hernia. The best approach here is to avoid the marketing hype and seek out credible sources of information.
