Lies About How To Lose Arm Fat
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.
And unless you have a degree in the field, figuring all of this out could be nearly impossible.
So here are some arm fat loss myths revealed to get you on the right track:
1. Calorie formulas are accurate. Do not assume that the number a formula gives you is the final say on how many calories you should be eating to lose arm fat. There are a lot of variables which influence how many calories your body burns. A formula gives you a ballpark figure and in extreme cases, a very inaccurate figure.
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. Hunger pangs are a given. This statement only holds true if you go overboard with caloric restriction. Otherwise, there are many ways to virtually eliminate hunger pangs and cravings. One approach is to use herbal teas. Yerba mate is the most powerful one and can completely knock out cravings, no joke! Sugar substitutes are yet another tool for cancelling out that sweet tooth craving.
Now please don’t be overwhelmed by all the advice floating around. Learning how to lose arm fat doesn’t have to give you a mental hernia. The best approach here is to avoid the marketing hype and seek out credible sources of information.
