4 Fat Arms Myths Exposed

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Fat arm confusion is rampant. Never have women been more confused about how to get toned arms.

How can this happen? Well, I believe the majority of confusion can be traced back to extreme marketing tactics. To complicate things further, sometimes the research isn't even clear!

Now if the gurus have a tough time detangling the research, how is the average women supposed to? Luckily, I have already done this for you.

So without further ado, here are 4 fat arm pitfalls exposed:

1. Thinking supplementation trumps whole food. Ignore the labels with pictures of women who lost 40lbs of fat overnight. The truth is that whole foods interact with each other in ways that supplements could never mimic. Nature cannot be reproduced in a pill.

2. Thinking regularly taking fiber is healthy. Well, the research has shown that modest fiber supplementation can increase colon cancer risk. So dump the Metamucil and stick to vegetables.

3. Equating thinness with health. Being thin is no guarantee of having toned arms. And being thin is no guarantee of being healthy. I've seen thin women with flabby arms and I've seen thin women undergo triple bypass surgeries because their diets are so poor.

4. Assuming carbs are the only thing that can cause insulin resistance. A state in which more calories get shuffled towards arm fat cells, insulin resistance can also be caused by high protein and/or high saturated fat intakes. So don't think fast digesting carbs are the only evil.

By avoiding the above arm fat pitfalls, you can reach your sexy arm goal that much faster. After all, knowing what to avoid is just as important as knowing what to do. The last thing you want is to waste time because if you don't get results you're more likely to quit. So stick with it! - 17269
