The Truth Behind Slim Arms And Trans Fats

October 6, 2009 by

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.

Trans fats became the single nutrient responsible for the highest amount of annual deaths in the United States.

Because of the effect trans fats have on your metabolism, it’s almost impossible to get thin and slim arms if they’re in your diet. Regardless of how hard you train, they will blunt your efforts.

Still not convinced? Here are 4 additional reasons on why you should stay away from trans fat like the plague:

1. They are responsible for tens of thousands of deaths every year. How many? According to the most conservative estimates from Harvard University, about 30,000. Think about that for a minute. A single nutrient is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths every single year. Mind boggling.

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 increase internal body fat. Specifically, they do a great job at raising triglycerides-the storage form of fat in the female body. How do you expect to get slim arms when you’re raising internal body fat levels???

4. They increase the worst type of LDL. Not all cholesterol is created equal. And trans fatty acids increase the worst kind: dense LDL particles. So if you want slim arms please stay away from the Franken fat.

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!
