4 Arm Toning Mistakes

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

There are lots of women who have it all wrong when it comes to nutrition for getting toned arms. Maybe you are one of them

If this is the case, you're not to blame. You see, all the marketers and product pushers have created a giant ball of flabby arm confusion.

I was once a victim of said confusion.

The good news is that I've spent a large portion of my professional career figuring all of this out.

Thus, here are 4 arm toning mistakes that I discovered along the way:

1. Having large amounts of protein. There is a lot of good about protein, but when consumed in excess there is also a lot of bad. Make sure that no more than 30% of calories come from protein.

2. Viewing whole grains as healthy. Whole grains are definitely better than Twinkies, but they're not the holy grail of arm fat loss. If you lead a highly sedentary lifestyle, whole grains should NOT be a big part of your diet.

3. Assuming supplementation is fine. I have some shocking news: supplements are not regulated in the U.S. There could be anything in that bottle. Just because there is some certification on the label doesn't mean it's healthy.

4. Leaving large gaps of time between meals. How much is large? More than five hours. Once you go past five hours, expect a significant decrease in metabolism. Not good for maximum arm toning. And if possible, try to eat every 3 hours. This type of eating schedule will give you the fastest results.

Your quest to get toned arms should be as short as possible. The longer you have to plug away the higher the chances of abandonment. And if you avoid the above mistakes, you can save yourself a lot of time and headache. After all, getting sexy arms should be relatively fun, not a pain in the butt. Good luck! - 17269
