There are so many outdated myths floating around the internet, that learning how to lose arm fat the right way can be harder than finding a needle in a haystack. And most women do not know how to find that needle. But it’s the marketers fault, not theirs.

Enter the “how to lose arm fat” term into Google and be amazed by how many savvy marketers are pushing bogus solutions. There is so much misinformation out there that most women are dazed and confused. One site claims that hypnotizing your subconscious is the key to arm flab success!

Please do not buy into this madness, if you do your purse will get lighter, but your arms will not! You have to stick to trustworthy sources of information.

And there are trustworthy sources of information out there. The trick is to develop the ability to immediately decide whether or not your source of information is bogus. Here are some common red-flag-claims that indicate a bogus source:

1. Weightlifting will make your arms big. Nothing could be further from the truth. With weightlifting you build muscle and burn fat. Muscle takes up less space than fat. Thus, weightlifting makes your arms smaller.

2. Long duration cardio is essential. This is another common myth. You see, cortisol is long duration cardio’s best friend. Too much cortisol will burn through your muscle and increase stomach fat. So stick to weightlifting!

3. Low-fat diets are king. I can’t help but cringe every time I hear this, and I hear this a lot. At least 30% of your total calories should come from fat. Anything less, and your body will stop producing arm-fat-melting hormones. As an added bonus, you’ll also suffer from massive sugar spikes.

4. It’s your gene’s fault. Please do not use the genetics scapegoat. Genetics have a mild impact on the overall “look” of your arms, but they do NOT have the final say. Nutrition and lifestyle factors (i.e., weightlifting) play the biggest role in how your arms look.

Figuring out how to lose arm fat doesn’t have to be so confusing. If you find any of the above statements in whatever you are reading then turn the page. Keep the savvy marketers from emptying your bank account.

Now I would like to add that trying many different things through massive action is the fastest way to sexy arm success. Do not get paralyzed by information overload.
