Eat more natural foods. When we say, “natural,” think beyond just fruits and vegetables. Whole grains, eggs, lean meats and healthy fats like nuts and seeds will all keep you fuller with less calories than processed goods—meaning less inches on your arms and elsewhere on your body.
Eat 25 to 35 grams of protein for each meal. Eating an adequate amount of protein will help you boost thermogenesis, the process where your body burns calories just to produce heat, and preserve your muscle mass as you lose body fat. But any more than 35 grams and your body will begin to store extra protein as fat, so be careful not to overdo it!
For that matter, don’t overdo any food. No matter how healthy and tasty the food you’re eating is, experts say when you’re feeling full to put down that fork. Your arms will thank you later. Plus, you can always store extra food as leftovers in the fridge for when you get truly hungry again!
Try cutting your daily calorie intake by 100 or 200 calories. The beauty of this number is that it’s usually not big enough to trigger hunger, but the calorie savings overall really add up over time in the months and years to come, leading to better arm fat results in the long term.
Lift weights. Building muscle in your arms will result in a much slimmer and toned appearance. You can also take up activities like tennis and skiing to work your triceps—and have fun while doing so.
Take just five minutes out of your day to work your arms—hard. Fitness expert Jay Cardiello came up with this genius five-minute exercise that focuses on the flab on the underside of your arms in five different ways. Just a few minutes to get closer to fabulous arms? That’s a deal we can’t pass up!
