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.

Having said that, it’s possible to eat less calories while eating more food. It’s all about volume and nutrient density. So don’t get discouraged!

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 everything. Do this and you’ll feel like a robot. Weighing all your food will make you quest to get toned arms seem like a never ending nightmare. Seriously. It can also lead to some serious eating disorders.

4. Energy pill indulgence. Energy pills should only be used to get out of a bind. If you abuse them, you’ll end up rebounding big time. Why? Because once their effect wears off, you’ll have an uncontrollable need to eat and eat and eat. Nothing lasts forever.

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!
