Trying to tone arms and eating out don't mix because your arm fat loves restaurant food. In fact, it grows to ever expanding proportions with restaurant food.
This happens because a restaurant's main goal is to stuff you with so much tasty food that you are compelled to come back for more again and again. And the tasty food usually has the most calories.
Partially hydrogenated vegetable oils are a perfect example here. Found in so many restaurant items, Harvard researchers have proven that they're lethal.
However, you should NOT eliminate all restaurant eating. In fact, you should go out every once in a while and control what you eat. After all, eating out forms a large part of how we socialize. Thus, here are 4 rapid-fire tips on how to tone arms when dining out:
1. Eat lean protein. Most protein in restaurants is laden with fat. Stay clear of beef, lamb and pork. And don't even think about the hot dogs or ribs-they have the most fat of all! Instead, try to have some poultry or tofu. Ask the waiter if they have any grass fed beef.
2. Watch out for all the refined carbs. I know that moist and hot loaf of bread screams "eat me", but we have more serious things to attend to. Instead, either ask that the bread not be brought out or have a salad before it arrives.
3. Avoid calorie bomb salads. All that dressing and cheese can make your salad an arm-toning nightmare. Some of the most unhealthy salads can easily reach the 1000 calorie mark. So only have one tablespoon of cheese and make sure the dressing is on the side.
4. Don't eat the whole meal. Instead, only have half of it or share it with someone. A SINGLE meal at a restaurant can have a whole days worth of calories. Now another strategy is to ask for a to-go box before the meal arrives. Once it does, put half of it in the box without thinking.
Having said all of this, note that if you rarely eat at restaurants, the occasional splurge will not have a significant impact on your mission to tone arms. If, however, you eat at restaurants more than once per week, then you should definitely apply these tips!
And the key here is application because information that is not applied quickly will be forgotten. So make sure you take action on this information today, not tomorrow! - 30543
