Caution: Slim Arms And Fruit Juice Don't Mix

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Do you have a juicer? Do you drink lots of juice? Are you trying to figure out how to get thin arms? Well, juice increases arm fat!

The big companies, however, would have you believe that fruit juice is healthy. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. So please don't buy into all those infomercials promoting juice that will solve all your physical ailments.

But can juice really be that bad, you ask? Well, yes. It's all because of the sugar. The high sugar content of juice causes insulin to rise which completely blocks arm fat burning. There is no way around this.

And here are 4 more reasons why you should stay away from fruit juice if you want to get thin arms:

1. It causes your liver to secrete not so good things. What type of things? Excess fatty acids and bad cholesterol! Now you really do NOT want these two floating around within your body if your main goal is to get thin and slim arms.

2. Elite research shows that it increases fat. Peer reviewed research has shown that ONLY 12 oz of fruit juice per day is directly correlated with obesity. Still want to have that giant carafe of freshly squeezed juice?

3. No pulp. Without pulp there's no fiber. And without fiber insulin runs wild. Remember, that insulin causes arm fat gain.

4. Most processed fruit juice doesn't have hardly any nutrients. Related to the previous point, most of a fruits' nutrients are concentrated in the peel! Apple peels, for instance, have 200% more antioxidant capacity then just the apple fruit.

The bottom line here is that fruit juice will only set you back if you're serious about getting slim and thin arms. Now I understand that some women really like juice. If this is the case with you, all you have to do is minimize the damage. Simply have small servings of juice and include as much pulp as possible. This will slow down the digestion of the sugar and provide many nutrients as well.
