healthier you today

The reduction of fat arms has become quite the mystery. The truth is that countless women are lost in a sea of information confusion.

How can this happen? Well, I believe the majority of confusion can be traced back to extreme marketing tactics. To complicate things further, sometimes the research isn’t even clear!

And if the experts are having a hard time interpreting the research, how are you supposed to? You can’t But I am here to the rescue.

So without further ado, here are 4 things you shouldn’t be doing to reduce fat arms:

1. Giving supplements priority over whole foods. Ignore the labels and outlandish claims. Whole foods will always trump supplements. Our bodies have evolved to absorb food in its natural form, not pills.

2. Loading up on fiber. Metamucil is everywhere! Unfortunately, research has shown that supplementing with fiber can increase colon cancer risk. It’s speculated that the free radicals from processing cause this. Not good!

3. Assuming you should be thin to win the sexy arm battle. Well, contrary to popular belief, being thin is no guarantee of being healthy. Even worse, being thin is no guarantee of having toned arms. I’ve seen thin women with horrible blood lipid profiles and very flabby arms!

4. Thinking carbohydrates are the only food that can alter insulin. Excessive animal saturated fat intake and excessive protein intakes can also alter levels of insulin in your body. So don’t think that all you have to do is stay away from the white bread and pasta

Warning: now you know 4 things to avoid during your quest to get toned arms. Knowing what NOT to do is just as important as knowing what to do. I know there is a lot of information out there. The key is to look past all the marketing hype and stick to the facts. And don’t forget to take action! Without action, information is useless. Good luck!
