subject: The Mistakes Of Calorie Reducing For Toned And Sculpted Arms [print this page] There is no way around this, if you want toned arms ASAP, you have to eliminate some calories from your diet. But be careful, because if you eliminate too much there will be unfavorable consequences.
Do you know of any women going on extremely low calorie diets? Unfortunately, this has become the norm and places a huge toll on the female body.
If you want toned arms, never cut calories by more than 20%. Anything above and beyond that will shut down your arm-fat-burning hormones.
And keep in mind that cutting calories does NOT have to give you a drop in energy. In fact, if you do it the right way, you can have an INCREASE in energy. So here are 4 things you shouldn't be doing when cutting calories to get toned arms:
1. Using supplements as meal replacements. Nothing beats regular food for satiety and health. If you stick to powders and pills to fill up your gut, you'll be very hungry all the time. Not good if you want toned arms.
2. Only eating once or twice a day. This is a horrible method for reducing caloric intake. In reality, increasing meal frequency becomes more relevant when restricting calories to get toned arms.
3. Not lifting weights. It takes a lot of calories to keep muscle. So the first thing your body will do when you restrict calories is burn muscle. You stop this by lifting weights.
4. Eating unbalanced meals. Don't simply cut out carbs or fats to reduce your caloric intake. Balanced meals are crucial for accelerated arm fat burning. And vegetables are really important for slowing down digestion which in turn speeds up fat loss.
If only we could eat everything under the sun and get toned arms at the same time. Unfortunately, the reality is that we have to control what we eat in order to optimize arm fat loss. The good news is that it doesn't have to be painful or ultra-restrictive. And if you follow my above tips it will be that much easier!
