Arm Fat And Dietary Fat

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

I believe that the majority of the population understands how important dietary fat is. What's so special about it? Well, it plays a critical role in the production of fat-incinerating hormones.

It also slows down digestion significantly. What will a slower digestion rate do for you? It will keep insulin low. And low levels of insulin translate into the fastest rate of fat loss.

Thus, here is a quick summary of dietary fat for losing arm fat:

1. Subcutaneous fat: Also known as triglycerides, this type of fat is what obscures muscle definition. In other words, it prevents most women from getting great arm tone. It can also be considered a storage fat.

2. Sat fat: Short for saturated fat, you should make sure that there aren't high levels of this stuff in your diet. It will set back your sexy arm mission by many steps. How? By increasing insulin resistance. In other words, your body's ability to process carbs.

3. Omega-9 fat: Also known as monounsaturated fat, omega-9 fat does a really good job at minimizing inflammation in the body. Olive oil falls into this category and is great for cooking because it resists high temperatures.

4. Omega-3 and 6 fats: Called polyunsaturated fats, these are probably some of the most healthy molecules you can put into the female body. But don't overdo it here. If you have more than 3 grams of fish oil per day, you run the risk of heart damage.

5. Partially hydrogenated fats: Also known as death fat, they are great for decreasing life span. No joke. Harvard researchers have clearly demonstrated that no amount of trans fat is healthy. So stay away from it at all costs.

If you really want to get rid of bingo wings, you have to have a serious amount of healthy fat in your diet. Do not avoid fat just because it's higher in calories. It simply does too much good for the female body.
