Do you want to lose that loose arm fat? Are you cutting out dietary fat? If so, you better increase that fat intake ASAP. You need to eat fat to burn fat. Crazy, but it’s the truth.

Fat in your diet is just too important to be left out. Especially if you want to burn arm fat as quickly as possible. Dietary fat is that important for getting toned arms.

And here are 6 all too common misconceptions about arm fat and dietary fat:

1. Consuming a pile of fish oil pills is very healthy. If you have more than 3 grams of fish oil per day, you run the risk of developing atherosclerosis. Not good.

2. Minute quantities of trans fatty acids are fine. Stay away from any amount of trans fat at all costs. They will seriously alter your metabolism-not good for arm fat burning. Furthermore, Harvard researchers have proven that no amount of trans fat is ok.

3. You have to stay away from ALL saturated fat. Not all saturated fat is created equal. In fact, plant saturated fat, like coconut, is extremely healthy for the female body.

4. Omega-3’s can be stored anywhere. Keep them in the fridge. Why? Because at room temperature omega-3’s (walnuts, flax seeds) can become rancid relatively quickly.

5. Omega-3 enhanced eggs are healthy. They are NOT healthy because they are still loaded with saturated fat. Increasing the amount of healthy omega-3 in the egg doesn’t cancel out the unhealthy effect of saturated fat.

6. Lower fat intakes are better for arm fat loss. Nothing could be further from the truth. You see, once your fat intake goes down so will your levels of fat burning hormones.

Having a robust intake of fat is critical for losing loose arm fat. There is no way around this. So please do not cut out fat from your diet. Instead, focus on eating a wide variety of healthy fat sources. And make sure to get a substantial amount of omega-3 fats in their natural form, don’t overdo the fish oil pills. Good luck!
