If you’re really serious about getting toned arms, protein will play a critical role in your success. After all, the benefits of protein are many and a poor understanding of this nutrient will set you back many steps.
Unfortunately, not all sources of protein are beneficial.
In fact, there are certain kinds of protein that can seriously damage your health over the long run. So here are 5 terrible sources of protein for flabby arms that you should stay away from like the plague:
1. Farm-raised salmon. This type of salmon has way too many toxins to warrant continual consumption. When possible, stick to wild salmon only. And try to get the fattiest cuts.
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. Charred meats. We love big grills and big barbecues. Unfortunately, all those black and crunchy edges of meat increase colon cancer risk. So stay away from any type of meat that has been cooked to the point of blackness.
4. Fatty cuts of marbled meat. As the level of fat in meat increases, the level of healthfulness decreases. Now meat isn’t inherently bad for you, it’s the saturated fat that causes harm. So if you can, stick to grass fed meats.
5. Deli-cut meat. I used to eat tons of this stuff because it’s so convenient. Then I found out that it’s one of the most unhealthy sources of protein out there. Why? Because of the nitrates. Stay away from processed meats no matter how convenient they may be. Your body will thank you for it.
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!
