5 Misconceptions About Flabby Arms And Protein

Both fad diets and marketing campaigns have created more flabby arm confusion than ever before. Women are utterly lost when it comes to protein intake. Maybe you are lost

I sure was confused not too long ago.

After all, separating the wheat from the chaff can be virtually impossible for the average woman because of all the marketing hype. And not knowing how to manage your consumption of protein can put a serious dent in your arm fat goal.

So without further ado, here are 5 lies about getting rid of flabby arms and protein:

1. Whole food is not as good as supplemental protein. This is a great statement for the supplement companies, but not for women wishing to reduce arm fat. Do not be swayed by the marketing claims, whole food will always be a better source of protein.

2. Multiple whey protein shakes reduces arm fat. Nothing could be further from the truth! The only time you should have whey protein is right after your arm workout, that’s it. Whey protein digests way too quickly to warrant further consumption.

3. Lightening fast digestion is better. As is the case with sugar, you do NOT want to eat fast digesting sources of protein. If you spike protein intake you will suffer a drop in circulating amino acids. Not good. Think slow and steady here.

4. The more the merrier. This is an outdated bodybuilding myth. While protein does positively affect hormones and gives you a sense of fullness, going overboard negates all the positives. Protein should not be more than 30% of your total caloric intake.

5. Hormone-enhanced meat is bad. There have NOT been any solid studies showing a direct link to hormone-enhanced meat and a decrease in female health. However, there are solid ethical (and ecological) arguments for avoiding said meats.

Losing arm fat doesn’t have to give you a headache. And with the above information you are a couple steps closer to optimizing your protein intake. After all, knowing how to eat protein the right way is critical for sexy arm success.
