If you want to lose loose arm fat you have to eat fat. Ironic, but very true in this day and age.
Dietary fat plays too much of an important role in the female body for it to be excluded from any effective arm toning nutrition plan, it’s that important.
Thus, here are 6 arm fat and diet fat myths:
1. Having a war chest of fish oil pills is ok. Just because something is extremely healthy in small amounts doesn’t mean it’s healthier in large amounts. In this case, having more than 3g of fish oil per day can cause heart damage.
2. Some trans fatty acids are ok. Stay away from trans fat, stay far away. As proven by Harvard research, no amount of trans fat is acceptable. Eating trans fat is a sure-fire way to arm fat failure.
3. Plant saturated fat is just as bad as animal saturated fat. There is a huge difference between the two. And plant saturated fat is very healthy for you. Coconut, for instance, does wonders for the female body.
4. Omega-3’s can be stored anywhere. Keep them in the fridge because at room temperature omega-3’s (walnuts, flax seeds) can become rancid relatively quickly.
5. Omega-3 enhanced eggs are healthy. They are NOT healthy because they are still loaded with saturated fat. Increasing the amount of healthy omega-3 in the egg doesn’t cancel out the unhealthy effect of saturated fat.
6. Fat intake should be kept at 10%. Doing this is a sure-fire way to shut down the production of arm-fat burning hormones in your body. Your body needs a hefty amount of dietary fat to produce hormones.
If you’re really serious about getting rid of that loose arm fat, then you have to have a lot of dietary fat. About 30% of your calories should come from fat. However, you can go all the way up to 40%. After all, some of the healthiest diets in the world (i.e., Mediterranean) have about 45% of their calories coming from fat. So the next time someone tells you stop eating fat, ignore them!
