Toned Arms-How To Get Them While Avoiding Your Purse From Getting Lighter

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

The bottom line is that the majority of supplements are ineffective. The industry is simply way too unregulated to consistently produce quality products.

To make matters worse, too many women keep the industry alive by spending money on nothing more than sugar pills. In all fairness, however, there are some supplements that do work and can really help in specific situations.

But knowing what not to take is just as important as knowing what to take.

So here is how to get toned arms without letting your purse shrink because of a sugar pill:

1. Aminos. Fitness buffs love amino acids. In fact, some of the more hardcore bodybuilders will constantly eat them every hour to optimize muscle growth. Unfortunately, amino acids compete for absorption in your body. So taking them in high quantities is NOT a good idea.

2. Energy bombs. I'm referring to the myriad formulations of caffeine in the liquid and pill form. The problem with taking so much caffeine is that it can stress many different systems in your body. The best approach is to use these only when absolutely necessary, not on a regular basis.

3. Meal replacements. This term is an oxymoron since a packet of powder can never replace a meal in its nutritional entirety. There are simply way too many interactions between the myriad nutrients in regular food that supplements can't mimic.

4. Protein. Stay away from anything that digests quickly, including protein. Your will burn more arm fat and recover faster from workouts with regular food.

5. Dietary fat inhibitors. There are countless pills that block the absorption of dietary fat. Dietary fat, however, is critical for getting toned arms. Without it, you will compromise the integrity of your nervous system, immune system, and endocrinological system.

If you're trying to get toned arms please do not waste your money on ineffective supplements. Your purse may get lighter but your arms will not! Stick to whole foods and you'll reach your sexy arm goal much quicker. - 30414
