How To Get Thin Arms-Ditch The Fruit Juice!
Posted on 01. Oct, 2009 by Katherine Crawford M.S. in Losing Weight
Are you trying to figure out how to get slim arms? Do you drink lots of juice because you think it’s healthy? Well the two don’t mix! Fruit juice has been shown to increase body fat.
All the late night infomercials, however, would have you believe otherwise. The key here is to ignore those compelling images of fit people thrusting every type of fruit imaginable down the juicer.
But can juice really be that bad, you ask? Well, yes. It’s all because of the sugar. The high sugar content of juice causes insulin to rise which completely blocks arm fat burning. There is no way around this.
And if you’re still grasping to that image of juice being healthy, please consider the following:
1. It causes your liver to secrete not so good things. What type of things? Excess fatty acids and bad cholesterol! Now you really do NOT want these two floating around within your body if your main goal is to get thin and slim arms.
2. It will increase fat storage. Solid research has clearly demonstrated that small amounts of juice are directly correlated with obesity. Why? It’s all about the sugar.
3. Most fruit juice doesn’t have any pulp or peel. Once the pulp and/or peel is gone, all the fiber is gone as well. And fiber is what will slow down the digestion of the juice.
4. It’s devoid of nutrients. Once the pulp is gone and once the peel is gone, there is little to be gained as far as nutrients go. In fact, the majority of nutrients are concentrated in the pulp and peel.
Now I don’t recommend going on an all-you-can-eat-fruit-peel-buffet. Some peels taste absolutely horrible, I know because I’ve tried them! Tip: stay away from banana peels. However, I do recommend staying away from fruit juice. And if you absolutely have to have some, make sure it has lots of pulp, and if possible, peel, and also make sure you only have a very small glass.
