In spite all of the good advice on how to lose arm fat, way too many women are still resorting to crash dieting. Why do they do it? Simply put, everybody wants a shortcut no matter how extreme it may be.
And the sad truth is that crash dieting shuts down your metabolism (think muscle loss and fat gain) for a very long time. So try to cruise along with your diet instead of crashing with it. Here are 6 eat-right tips that will help you cruise along the way to sexy arm stardom:
1. Forget about calories in versus calories out. In this day and age, everyone is busy and we don't have all day to exercise. It's not necessary to spend hours running and hours lifting weights every day to get rid of the arm jiggle. All that's needed is a short workout that gets to the point in 45 minutes or less (note: you should be sweating and panting).
2. Forget about logging your food consumption. Do this, and your robotic tendencies will make you want to pull your hair out. At one point you'll explode and feel the urge to burn your log in a fire. Ditch the log.
3. Balance your meals. No need to get crazy with your eating (please don't take acai!). Your number one priority is to make sure your meals have a vegetable, fat, protein and carbohydrate item. Trust me, this is all you have to do.
4. Don't practice calorie counting. Much worse than keeping a journal, because now you have become a full time accountant in addition to your other demands. The idea that a 3500 caloric deficit equals a pound of fat loss, is based on an outdated closed thermodynamic model. Forget about being a calorie counter and focus on general eating patterns instead.
5. Keep eating your pleasure foods. The trick here is to reduce the serving size of the pleasure food and to accompany it with a source of vegetables. The reduced serving size minimizes caloric impact and the vegetable source will slow down digestion (think "glycemic load").
6. Don't have more than one serving of alcohol per day. Again, despite all the advice on this one, many of my female clients still drink way too much. Aside from a high caloric content, alcohol shuts down all your arm fat burning hormones. The good news is that the more you exercise, the less alcohol you need to achieve that "buzz" feeling.
Learning how to lose arm fat the right way should be a lot easier with my eat-right tips. Follow them, and the arm flab will come right off. It's not as hard as you think.
And remember that trying to get everything perfect in one shot is unrealistic. You will fall off the wagon from time to time. Expect this, and always get back on track as soon as possible. - 33688
