4 Arm Toning Mistakes

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Are you confused about proper nutrition for getting rid of flabby arms? Do you get a massive headache when thinking about getting toned arms?

If so, it's not your fault. The media combined with savvy marketers have created a whirlwind of confusion surrounding proper nutrition for arm fat loss.

I know because I used to be completely lost.

But I fought back and learned how to separate the wheat from the chaff.

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

1. Going overboard with protein. Protein has a lot of benefits, but if you have too much the benefits quickly vanish. How much is too much? More than 30% of your total caloric intake.

2. Assuming whole grains are key to arm fat loss. Whole grains are healthier than most processed alternatives. However, whole grains are not optimal for someone that is very sedentary. If you're just starting out with losing arm fat, then whole grains are ok. But eventually you'll want to transition into legumes.

3. Thinking dietary supplements are 100% safe. Unfortunately, the supplement industry is not regulated. Anybody can put anything in a bottle and put on a store shelf for sale. It's on the FDA to prove that said supplement is harmful before it's taken off the shelves. Not good.

4. Allowing more than 5 hours pass between meals. Optimally, you want to eat every 3 hours for a wide variety of physiological reasons. 5 hours, however, is the absolute limit. Once you go past this time frame, arm-fat burning muscle gets wasted away.

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
