4 Nutrition Mistakes For Arm Toning

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

There is a lot of controversy on the best way to tone arms. Somehow, even the experts have come up with different ways for getting results. Some of these ways are valid, some are not.

Unfortunately, even the most well respected experts can give subpar advice. This happens because scientific studies are never clear cut.

After all, even the experts have to go somewhere to get their information. And most information comes from very complex studies done by the brightest of minds. The main problem here is that these studies are almost NEVER clear cut. They are almost always open for interpretation.

So today I plan on clearing up some of the confusion. Here are 4 things to avoid when trying to tone up your arms:

1. Consuming more than 3 grams of fish oil a day. I remember reading an article by a well known fitness expert in which he recommended an intake of 20-30 grams of fish oil for accelerated fat loss. You should NEVER over supplement with fish oil. The excess omega-3 can induce atherosclerosis.

2. Allowing nuts and legumes to stay warm. Put them in the refrigerator because aspergillus, a toxic mold, can grow on nuts and legumes if the conditions are right. The conditions include warmth and humidity. Now this isn't very likely unless you're overdoing it, however, a single case of poisoning has the potential to set your sexy arm mission many steps back.

3. Trans fatty acids. Your intake of trans fats should be 0, no exceptions here. The research is clear on this issue-trans fats kill.

4. Thinking plant fat is unhealthy. Coconut has long been regarded as a very unhealthy source of saturated fat. But not all saturated fats are created equal. In fact, coconut is a very healthy food. Animal fat and plant saturated fat are structurally different.

All the advice you hear may change slightly over the years because science and research is constantly changing. We never have a clear cut answer as to how things work. A lot of the recommendations are based on projections and extrapolations. Nevertheless, if you want to tone arms, you have to keep on making progress regardless.

Also, make sure you don't wait to act on this advice. If you wait too long, you will forget what you have learned. - 17269
