Caution: If You Want To Lose Arm Flab Don’t Go High Carb
Posted by Katherine Crawford at Aug 23rd, 2009 in Nutrition
Finding a good nutritional strategy for losing bingo wings can be like navigating a mind field. After all, marketing has made finding the truth harder than ever.
Are you having a hard time picking the right diet?
If you are, don’t worry. I suspect many women are in your exact same situation. I remember when I used to get so frustrated with all the different diets out there.
So without further ado, here are 4 cons of high carbohydrate dieting for losing bingo wings:
1. Sugar addiction danger. If you have a sugar addiction, a high carb diet can be a slippery slope towards sugar bingeing. After all, most high carb foods have sugar in them. And once you open the floodgates, it can be very hard to stop.
2. Reduced insulin effectiveness. If your body gets too many carbs at once, it will become insulin resistant. This horrible state makes it hard for muscles to absorb nutrients. And if your muscles aren’t absorbing nutrients then your arm fat is.
3. Massive hunger spikes. If you do not eat a LARGE amount of vegetables when going high carb expect some major hunger swings. Why? Because carbs will drive your blood sugar levels up and then down.
4. Very slow arm flab loss. If you want toned arms now and not later, then this diet is not for you. With high carb intakes, weight loss comes at a slow crawl.
Do you want to lose that arm flab ASAP? If so, high carb is not for you. In my experience, moderate to low carb intakes are best. Going low carb, however, isn’t necessary unless you are insulin resistant. How can you tell? If you have a relatively large abdomen, then you could be insulin resistant. Ignore all the marketing hype and stick to what has been proven by research. Only then will you achieve sexy arm success!
