4 Things You Shouldn't Be Doing When Cutting Calories To Get Toned Arms

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

There is no way around this, if you want toned arms ASAP, you have to eliminate some calories from your diet. But be careful, because if you eliminate too much there will be unfavorable consequences

Do you know of any women going on extremely low calorie diets??? Unfortunately, this has become the norm and places a huge toll on the female body.

If you want toned arms, never cut calories by more than 20%. That's the limit. Anything above and beyond that will shut down your arm-fat-burning hormones.

It's also important to note that a reduction in calories doesn't have to translate into a reduction in energy. You can actually end up with more energy than before if you do things the right way. So here are 4 things you should not do when eliminating calories to tone up your arms:

1. Using supplements to substitute regular food. Very few supplements actually work. The regulation of dietary supplements in our country is broken, seriously. Moreover, regular food will always leave you more satisfied than a supplement. And it's healthier!

2. Eating once a day. This is probably the worst way to eliminate calories from your diet. It's a surefire way to shut down the arm-fat burning process in your body. Instead, eat with a very high frequency. This becomes extremely important when cutting calories for toned arms.

3. Not lifting weights. It takes a lot of calories to keep muscle. So the first thing your body will do when you restrict calories is burn muscle. How do you stop this? By lifting weights.

4. Not eating balanced meals all the time. Does this sound like an echo from the past? That's because we've become so obsessed with super foods and magic pills, that we've forgotten about the importance of eating balanced meals. Having balanced meals is the best thing you can do to accelerate the burning of arm fat. And make sure you have lots and lots of vegetables. They will mechanically slow down the digestion of whatever you are eating.

If only we could eat everything under the sun and get toned arms at the same time. Unfortunately, the reality is that we have to control what we eat in order to optimize arm fat loss. The good news is that it doesn't have to be painful or ultra-restrictive. And if you follow my above tips it will be that much easier! - 17269
