Arm Fat Loss Myths Revealed
There is a lot of advice and tips out there on how to lose arm fat. Some of it is good, some of it is ridiculous.
How did this come to be? Well, there is a LOT of money to be made selling fitness products. So marketers are constantly trying to come up with new angles and new “one hit wonders.” You might be having a hard time figuring out what sources to trust.
This can be extremely challenging unless you have a higher education in the field.
So without further ado, here are 4 lies about how to lose arm fat:
1. Intake equations are accurate. An equation or formula has many limitations. There are an infinite number of variables which can alter how many calories you burn on a daily basis. So please don’t assume that the number you got is the end all be all to how many calories you should consume.
2. Arm toning should hurt. Eating the right way to lose arm fat does NOT have to hurt. In fact, your energy should increase if you do it with a sensible approach. What kind of approach? One with a ridiculous amount of vegetables, resistance training and slow carbs. All of these will actually increase your energy even though you’re eating less calories.
3. You have to eat clean forever, or else. Your body will NOT be the same once you lose all the arm fat. You’ll have a heightened ability to absorb and process nutrients. A lot of this will come from an increase in insulin sensitivity and an increase in basal metabolic rate.
4. Cravings are unavoidable. There are many herbs that can completely shut off your cravings. Yerba mate is a perfect example here. Moreover, there is a multitude of sweeteners that come very close to tasting exactly like sugar. So if you play your cards right, cravings do NOT have to haunt you even when restricting calories. Now the main exception here is if you restrict calories to the extreme. In this case, hunger will eventually overtake you.
Hopefully this article sheds some much needed light on the truth behind arm fat loss. I know it can be frustrating with all the marketing hype out there, but be patient, test out different methods and seek out credible sources of information.
