Should You Cut Out Dietary Fat To Get Toned Arms?

By Katherine Crawford, M.S.

Have you been considering different types of diets to reduce those fat arms? Have all the different options left you a little confused and stressed?

Unfortunately, how do you make a choice with all the different fads out there? The good news is that many other women, including myself, have already gone through this process.

To make matters worse, all the marketing hype can further confuse you when it comes to making the right decision to get rid of fat arms because marketing makes each new fad seem like the best thing to have ever happened.

Luckily for you, I am going to give you a truthful analysis of low fat dieting.

The benefits of this approach is that cutting out fat isn't rocket science.

The bad aspects of this:

1. Less calories burned around the clock: Without a hefty amount of dietary fat, your metabolism will plummet. Your cellular machinery requires fat to function properly.

2. Decreased brain power: Your brain needs fat in order to function properly. Not only does it need it for building blocks but also to coordinate communication between the different parts.

3. More sickness: This one is huge because once you get sick, your sexy arm mission will be delayed a lot. Again, your body needs fat to maintain a properly functioning immune system.

4. Carbohydrates towards arm fat: This happens via an increase in insulin resistance. Once insulin resistant, your body will send more calories towards arm fat.

5. Hunger swings: Fat plays a critical role in slowing down digestion. So if you eliminate it, hunger and digestion will go for a roller coaster ride.

The truth is that low-fat dieting is not good for getting arm tone. Instead, make sure you get plenty of fat in your diet. It simply has too much of a beneficial effect on your body, good luck!

One more thing: remember to take action quickly. You see, without action, this new information will be forgotten.
