You Can't Get Slim Arms With Trans Fat In Your Diet

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

By now you probably know that so called healthy fats help you burn arm fat. But did you know that one type of fat is responsible for an abnormally high amount of deaths every year? Which one is it you ask? Trans fatty acids.

How was this killer born? Well, during the 1900's a couple chemists figured out that hydrogenation extended the shelf life of vegetable oils. Too bad they didn't know how much damage their new discovery would cause.

Because unfortunately, this new Franken fat would be responsible for the greatest amount of deaths of any nutrient in U.S. history.

Trans fats mess up your cellular machinery so much that getting slim and thin arms is virtually impossible if they're in your diet. I don't care how hard you train.

And here are 4 more reasons to stay away from these Franken fats:

1. The lowest estimate from Harvard predicts 30,000 annual deaths. That is a lot of death from a single nutrient. The U.S. population, and the rest of the world, has never dealt with such a common yet lethal killer.

2. There is NO safe limit. The food industry would have you believe that around 40 calories of trans fatty acids per day will do no harm. Yet the most elite academic institutions recommend zero intake. Also, many states are in the process of banning trans fats.

3. They raise triglycerides within your blood. Triglycerides are your body's storage form of fat. When you eat fat it gets broken down and then reassembled into triglyceride form. So trans fats will definitely hinder your slim arm mission!

4. They raise the worst type of cholesterol. What's the worst type? Dense LDL particles. In other words, they clog up your arteries which is not good for your heart and they reduce circulation which is not good for getting thin arms.

I hope this article doesn't scare you. You shouldn't be afraid of food! However, I do hope that it educates you and motivates you to stay away from trans fats. It's quite rare for a single nutrient to have such harmful effects on the female body. Usually, a whole range of factors are too blame for excess body fat. Yet trans fat are an exception here. So if you want thin and slim arms, make sure you adopt a zero intake policy! - 30414
