Get Rid Of Fat Arms With Advanced Nutrition-In the Morning!

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Basic nutrition for getting sexy arms is not too hard to follow. And if you ignore all the marketing hype and fads, it's relatively simple to understand.

Unfortunately, there are specific scenarios when advanced nutrition is needed. You can't stick to the basics or else you may set back your sexy arm mission.

Working out early in the day is one example here. Since your body has been starving all night, proper nutrition with precision is mandatory.

So here is your early morning nutrition guide for getting rid of fat arms:

1. First priority is to drink. Water, not booze! You are severely dehydrated when you wake up whether you feel it or not. So drink at least 2 cups of water immediately-do this before anything else. You also need to rehydrate or else you won't be able to digest breakfast.

2. When the workout is 3 hours upon waking. Eat a complete and balanced breakfast. Don't skimp here! Have a source of protein, carbs and fat. And if you want to take it to the next level, add in some vegetables.

3. If you're going to exercise 1 hour after waking up. Have two slices of whole grain bread with some type of nut butter like peanut butter. The bread will give your body much needed fuel and the peanut butter will slow down the digestion of the bread.

4. When the workout is 10 minutes upon waking. You could make your own shake with an easily digestible carb like maltodextrin or dextrose, and add in some casein protein. Alternatively, you could have a supplement like power gel.

I understand that you may have a very hectic and "tight" schedule. However, I strongly recommend against working out 10 minutes upon waking up. It's extremely difficult for the female body to digest any type of food or supplement within such a short time frame. You're likely to burn through a lot of muscle if you do this. Not good if you want to get rid of arm fat and get sexy arms!
