Simply restricting calories ad libitum is a sure-fire way to failure. It is not sustainable and can make your arms blow up bigger than before once you stop.
Therefore, a better strategy to tone your arms is to eat a healthy amount of calories while making sure that those calories do NOT get shuffled into arm fat cells. After all, you can eat a substantial amount of food while still losing arm fat.
Basically, teaching your body to divert food stuffs to your muscles, brain and organs is the secret strategy to tone arms.
So without further ado, here is how to tone your arms faster than before by starving fat cells:
1. Avoid saturated fat. Saturated fat decreases insulin sensitivity. In other words, it blocks nutrients from getting into your active tissues. Not all saturated fat is created equal, however. Plant saturated fat should be consumed on a regular basis.
2. Make 25% of your caloric intake come from unsaturated fats. Unsaturated fats make the membranes of your cells more permeable. They help your cells take in more nutrients. This translates into faster recovery and less calories going towards fat cells-the perfect recipe to tone your arms.
3. Take insulin sensitivity supplements. By making your body more sensitive to insulin, you’ll get a higher percentage of calories going towards active tissues. There are supplements that can help you do this. One of them is alpha lipoic acid.
4. Get leaner. Ironically, the leaner you get the more calories your body diverts towards muscle. Thus, as you keep on losing fat, more of what you eat will be shuffled away from arm fat cells. This should serve as encouragement to not stop your fat loss efforts.
5. Have a regular schedule of weight lifting. Weight lifting, or resistance training, benefits your body in many ways. One way is by increasing the concentration of glut-4 transporters which allow nutrients into your active tissues which helps you tone arms faster.
Teaching your body how to starve fat cells and feed active cells is the key to toning your arms. If you really want to tone your arms I strongly recommend implementing the tips in this article. And remember, never starve yourself!
