4 Things You Should Not Be Doing When Restricting Calories To Lose Arm Fat

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Getting rid of flabby arms entails being in a negative caloric state. There is no way around this. You have to eat less calories to lose more arm fat.

The good news is that a restriction in calories doesn't necessarily mean eating less food. If you do this the right way, you can actually eat more volume of food while eating less calories.

And please don't get into a negative caloric state the wrong way. Some women do crazy things to cut calories from their diets. Do this, and you sexy arm journey will be a nightmare.

So here are 4 things not to do when reducing arm fat and calories:

1. Increasing physical activity without optimizing nutrition. Even if you're a professional competitor, you should still clean up your nutrition. Simply burning more calories through activity without paying attention to diet is not optimal or healthy. You can get far better results by combining activity and diet.

2. Visual reductions. Simply reducing how much goes on your plate will not cut it. You have to pay attention to what you're eating, not just how much you're eating. Moreover, most women are not very good at estimating how many calories are in the food they're eating.

3. Weighing out all your food. This is much more accurate then visual estimation. However, this type of practice is a slippery slope towards eating disorders. Moreover, you are likely to burn out very quickly when being so mechanical. Please do not weigh your food.

4. Abusing energy pills. The key here is moderation and only take them when necessary. If you abuse energy pills to suppress your appetite, they'll work for a short while. And once their effect wears off, you'll have an insatiable urge to eat everything under the sun. You can't simply cancel out your desire to eat and expect no consequences.

Getting toned and sexy arms should be a healthy process. If you've been doing any of the above please make some changes. This will prevent you from rebounding and gaining all the arm fat back once you stop. And rebounds are so demoralizing that they should be avoided at all costs. Good luck!
