Low Cholesterol Diet Meals

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.

But the truth is that such guerilla dieting destroys the body’s metabolic mechanisms. In other words, it shuts down your body’s ability to burn off the arm flab. So here are 6 nutrition tips to follow so that your body (and mind) doesn’t shut down:

1. Don’t try to burn a crazy amount of calories. You are not the energizer bunny, so please don’t spend hours and hours in the gym every day. All your arms need to stop jiggling is a short but hard workout (45min. or less), 2-3 times a week.

2. Don’t keep a journal of every piece of food you eat. You are not a machine, so please don’t act like one. Do this, and you’ll end up feeling like a slave. Eventually, you’ll reach a tipping point and throw in the flabby arms towel.

3. Pay attention to each meal. Instead of micromanaging everything, simply make sure that each one of your meals is balanced. In other words, include a protein, fat, vegetable, and carbohydrate food item in each meal. This is all you have to do.

4. Banish your calorie-counting tendencies. Even worse than your food journal, calorie-counting is another full time job. And the worst part is that it’s based on an obsolete closed thermodynamic model. A 3500 caloric deficit does NOT equal a pound of fat loss. Don’t become a machine when learning how to lose arm fat!

5. Don’t eliminate pleasure foods from your diet. The biggest negatives of pleasure foods are high caloric content and fast digestion. You can minimize both negatives by simply having a slightly smaller portion of the food and accompanying it with a serving of vegetables. The fibrous material of the vegetable will slow down the digestion of the pleasure food substantially and less calories (if any) will go to your arm fat.

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.

I hope you aren’t feeling intimidated by the process of learning how to lose arm fat. Changing your eating patterns is not that hard as long as you are patient and take a healthy approach. And now you have 6 key things that will make the change that much easier!

Finally, I would like to mention that you shouldn’t get discouraged if you stray from your diet. You see, it is impossible to eat perfectly all the time. Even the best dieters cheat. But the main difference is that they get back on track much faster than the average person.
