5 Common Misconceptions About Jiggly Arm Flab And Protein

By:


Because of the popularity of high protein diets and the aggressive marketing of supplement companies, women are more confused than ever about protein. Are you confused because so many women are?

I sure was confused not too long ago.

Finding the truth can be like finding a needle in a haystack. There is simply way too much marketing material to navigate. Unfortunately, not knowing how to tweak your protein consumption can set back your flabby arms mission.

So here are 5 misconceptions about flabby arms and protein:

1. Supplements are better than food. While this will make your purse lighter and the supplement companies richer, it will not benefit your arms. Whole food digests much better in the female body because we have evolved to do so. Moreover, regular food has a gigantic variety of additional nutrients the supplements will never provide.

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. Rapid absorption of protein is better. Any time your body absorbs a nutrient rapidly there will be a pushback. In this case, having a fast digesting source of protein will leave your bloodstream with low levels of amino acids.

4. Bigger is better. We love big portions and protein is no exception. If your protein intake exceeds 30% of your total caloric intake, however, the positives turn into negatives. So have small servings of protein in every meal and stay away from the meat buffets.

5. Steroids in animal protein affect health. While there are ethical and ecological reasons to avoid steroid-enhanced meat, there have been no conclusive studies showing a direct impact on female health. Having said that, you are better off eating grass fed meat because of higher omega-3 content.

Getting rid of flabby arms and reducing that arm fat involves a solid understanding of how protein affects the female body. Please do not buy into the supplement companies claims and please do not buy into high protein diets. The bottom line is that whole food sources of protein in moderation are best for reducing flabby arms.
