4 Arm Fat Nutrition Mistakes

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

It would seem as though the food industry is working against your flabby arms mission. Why? Because for them, profit comes before consumer health. Sad, but true.

You see, a very LARGE portion of what the food industry sells and markets is unacceptably unhealthy for the female body. Combine this with some bad food preparation habits and you have a recipe for arm fat meltdown.

And the central issue here is that most women in this deceiving day and age do NOT have the appropriate resources to find the nuggets of truth. You don't have 4 years of time and thousands in disposable income to get a degree in nutrition!

So here are 4 common nutritional pitfalls of women losing arm fat:

1. Charring food. If you cook something till the point that it's very black, then expect an increase in colon cancer risk. Seriously. There is NO reason to blacken food. So try to avoid over-barbecuing things and definitely avoid frying things.

2. Consuming nitrates. Deli cuts are convenient, but they are also deadly. The nitrates found in most deli cuts will also increase colon cancer risk. Besides, there are much better sources of protein like salmon and tofu. So ditch the lunch meat.

3. Overdosing with sweeteners. Get rid of fat arms the healthy way and do NOT consume large amounts of sweeteners. One study showed a 30% increase in cancer from very high sweetener intake. Only use sweeteners in moderation. Also, many products you consume on a regular basis already have sweeteners in them.

4. Water shock. Ok, what I'm referring to here is the all too common practice of only drinking water in single sittings. You see, in order to stay properly hydrated you have to drink small amounts of water in between meals throughout the entire day.

Losing arm fat can be healthy and fun. Follow my above tips to bring you one step closer to sexy arm success. Ignore the marketing hype and false advertising created by the food industry and stick to the facts. Only then will you get toned arms the right way!
