6 Arm Fat (And Diet Fat) Myths

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

If you want to lose loose arm fat you have to eat fat. Ironic, but true.

You see, dietary fat is so important for arm-fat burning in the female body, that ignoring it would be a big mistake. It's really that vital to your sexy arm success.

Thus, here are 6 arm fat and diet fat myths:

1. Consuming a pile of fish oil pills is very healthy. If you have more than 3 grams of fish oil per day, you run the risk of developing atherosclerosis. Not good.

2. Minute quantities of trans fatty acids are fine. Stay away from any amount of trans fat at all costs. They will seriously alter your metabolism-not good for arm fat burning. Furthermore, Harvard researchers have proven that no amount of trans fat is ok.

3. You have to stay away from ALL saturated fat. Not all saturated fat is created equal. In fact, plant saturated fat, like coconut, is extremely healthy for the female body.

4. Omega-3 fat can be stored at room temperature. Keep the walnuts and flax seeds in the refrigerator. Omega-3 fats, critical for arm fat burning, become rancid very quickly when stored at room temperature.

5. Omega-3 enhanced eggs are healthy. They are NOT healthy because they are still loaded with saturated fat. Increasing the amount of healthy omega-3 in the egg doesn't cancel out the unhealthy effect of saturated fat.

6. The less fat the better. Actually, the more fat the better. Why? Because as your intake of dietary fat increases so will your levels of loose arm-fat-burning hormones. Eat fat to burn fat!

Having a robust intake of fat is critical for losing loose arm fat. There is no way around this. So please do not cut out fat from your diet. Instead, focus on eating a wide variety of healthy fat sources. And make sure to get a substantial amount of omega-3 fats in their natural form, don't overdo the fish oil pills. Good luck!
