Increasing your metabolism is a great way to melt the arm fat off. And I am going to show you 4 tips that will do just that. In case you didn’t know, your metabolism is the amount of calories your body burns from day to day.

Also keep in mind that your metabolism is mostly under your control. Please do not buy into the outdated argument that you inherit and are stuck with a fast or slow metabolism. Nothing could be further from the truth!

Hopefully, with this article, you will be able to regain that control just like I did not too long ago. Here are 4 ways to regain control of your metabolism today:

1. Workout early in the morning. Do this, and all the food you eat during the rest of the day will go to your active tissues instead of your arm fat. And your body will burn a surplus of calories throughout the rest of the day. Workout late in the day, and you’ll miss out on both of these benefits.

2. Keep your workouts short and to the point. Working out for hours on end is unnecessary, painful and counterproductive. All that’s needed is a hard 45 minute workout (30 minutes if you go really hard). The resulting EPOC (exercise post oxygen consumption) will have you burning additional calories 36 hours after the workout. Even while you sleep

3. Drink small amounts of water in between meals. Your body becomes dehydrated in between meals because it uses stored water for digestion. You have to prevent this by drinking small amounts of water when you are NOT eating because dehydration slows your metabolism down.

4. Cut calories by very small amounts. No exceptions here. Once your caloric intake is below 80% of your needs, your metabolism will come to a screeching halt. Your body will produce fat friendly enzymes and your thyroid will decrease its output.

Thus, dropping calories by leaps and bounds slows down arm-fat-burning. This is the main reason many women who are following 1000 calorie diets can no longer lose weight.

Start practicing the above tips TODAY so that your arm fat begins to melt away. The key is to take action now, not tomorrow. For most women, tomorrow never comes. Good luck!
