If you’re really serious about getting toned arms, protein will play a critical role in your success. After all, the benefits of protein are many and a poor understanding of this nutrient will set you back many steps.
Unfortunately, not all sources of protein are beneficial.
In fact, there are some types of protein that you should avoid at ALL costs. So here are 5 types of protein you should NOT eat when toning flabby arms:
1. Non-wild salmon. Any type of salmon that is farm raised is likely to be loaded with toxins such as PCB’s. There is some solid research backing this up. So if your budget permits, stick to wild salmon with the highest fat content.
2. Deep-fried meats. Anything that is deep fried will most likely have an excess of fat. And if you don’t watch out, it’s most likely going to be bad fat. Moreover, if you inhale the fumes when deep frying food you increase your risk for lung cancer. Not good!
3. Charred meats. We love big grills and big barbecues. Unfortunately, all those black and crunchy edges of meat increase colon cancer risk. So stay away from any type of meat that has been cooked to the point of blackness.
4. Fatty meat. Meat isn’t necessarily bad for you, it’s the fat within the meat that creates problems. In fact, grass fed meat is quite healthy because it has more omega-3 fat and less saturated fat. The only drawback is that grass fed meat can be quite expensive
5. Deli-cut meat. I used to eat tons of this stuff because it’s so convenient. Then I found out that it’s one of the most unhealthy sources of protein out there. Why? Because of the nitrates. Stay away from processed meats no matter how convenient they may be. Your body will thank you for it.
Reaching your arm toning potential with protein doesn’t have to compromise your health. Getting sexy and lean arms should be a healthy process in both the short and long term. So stay away from the above sources of protein as often as possible and you’ll be one step closer to sexy arm stardom!
