The reduction of fat arms has become quite the mystery. The truth is that countless women are lost in a sea of information confusion.
Why? Because all the marketing hype has created a sandstorm of false information. Even worse, there are times when the research isn't even clear.
And if the experts are having a hard time interpreting the research, how are you supposed to? You can't But I am here to the rescue.
So without further ado, here are 4 fat arm pitfalls exposed:
1. Giving supplements priority over whole foods. Ignore the labels and outlandish claims. Whole foods will always trump supplements. Our bodies have evolved to absorb food in its natural form, not pills.
2. Fiber supplementation. Unfortunately, this ever popular supplement has been shown to increase colon cancer rates. The good news is that you probably eat so many vegetables that fiber supplementation is a moot point. Right?
3. Thinking ultra-thinness is the epitome of health. Have you ever seen a thin women undergo heart surgery? I have. Have you ever seen a thin woman with flabby arms? I have.
4. Thinking carbs are the only macronutrients that can mess with insulin. I have some bad news: saturated fat and high protein intakes can also mess up your insulin levels. So make sure you are eating with balance across all foods.
Warning: now you know 4 things to avoid during your quest to get toned arms. Knowing what NOT to do is just as important as knowing what to do. I know there is a lot of information out there. The key is to look past all the marketing hype and stick to the facts. And don't forget to take action! Without action, information is useless. Good luck!
