Caution: 5 Reasons Why Arm Flab And High Protein Dieting Don't Mix

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

We used to only eat what could be taken from nature. Back then, arm flab was probably not on most women's radar.

Then came along the food industry and the marketing of magic-bullet diets.

Once there was money to be made selling food, all hell broke loose. From this point on, the media waves would be flooded with massive amounts of confusing and contradictory information.

Perhaps one of the most influential fad diets of all time has been the high protein diet. Why? Because it produces the fastest short-term weight loss of any other type of diet.

Nevertheless, consider the following 5 arm flab pitfalls of high protein diets before buying all those steaks:

1. Energy lulls: Your brain will be foggy. Your body will want to sleep all the time. Why? Because without carbs, your body's ability to produce energy will be slowed by a factor of 3.

2. An inability to exercise hard: Without carbohydrates, exercise will be extremely painful and your ability to recover will virtually vanish. Your body needs carbs to efficiently produce its energy currency, ATP.

3. Insulin issues: Very high protein intakes can mess up a normal insulin balance. Carbohydrates aren't the only insulin-changing macronutrients.

4. No more arm definition: Your arm muscles hold a lot of water (not to be confused with subcutaneous water). Once you restrict carbohydrates the water will flush out and they will look deflated.

5. The biggest arm fat rebound: As demonstrated by Christopher Gardner PhD at Stanford University, high protein diets produce the fastest and biggest weight gain rebound of any other diet. So think twice about high protein and arm flab

I understand that high protein diets are very attractive because they produce almost instant losses in weight. But please consider all the negatives that come with such drastic changes. And don't forget that you could potentially gain back all the arm flab you lost in a very short amount of time. Thus, I do NOT recommend high protein diets for women wishing to get sexy and lean arms once and for all. - 17269
