Arm Fat Loss Myths Revealed

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Every so called expert has an opinion on how to lose arm fat. Some opinions are sound, others are borderline laughable.

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. 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 must eat like a bird for the rest of your life. Your body should change a lot during your arm fat loss journey. And these changes will manipulate the way your body deals with food. In most cases, you can eat a little more than before without the risk of arm fat rebound. The key here is to make sure that a solid resistance training program has been the bedrock of your approach.

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.

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.
