5 Types Of Protein You Should Avoid When Toning Flabby Arms

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Getting rid of flabby arms entails a solid understanding of protein. Why? Because protein plays a major role in the female body. And if you don't know how to manage your protein intake, results could come at a much slower pace.

But not all protein is created equal.

In fact, there are some types of protein that you should avoid at ALL costs. So here are 5 types of protein you should NOT eat when toning flabby arms:

1. Non-wild salmon. Any type of salmon that is farm raised is likely to be loaded with toxins such as PCB's. There is some solid research backing this up. So if your budget permits, stick to wild salmon with the highest fat content.

2. Protein that has been deep fried. Not only is the fat on the protein bad for you, but so are the fumes. In fact, inhaling fumes while frying meat increases rates of lung cancer.

3. Overcooked protein. Overcooking protein to the point of crunchy blackness may taste good, but it's very unhealthy. How so? Increased rates of colon cancer.

4. Fatty meat. Meat isn't necessarily bad for you, it's the fat within the meat that creates problems. In fact, grass fed meat is quite healthy because it has more omega-3 fat and less saturated fat. The only drawback is that grass fed meat can be quite expensive

5. Thin-sliced deli cuts. The convenience of deli cut meats is cancelled out by nitrates. What do nitrates do? Increase rates of colon cancer. Not good. So stick with natural sources of protein and avoid highly processed protein like deli cuts.

Reaching your arm toning potential with protein doesn't have to compromise your health. Getting sexy and lean arms should be a healthy process in both the short and long term. So stay away from the above sources of protein as often as possible and you'll be one step closer to sexy arm stardom! - 29161
