Arm Fat

emmaMaureen19

Does anyone have any tips to slim down your arms for women. It seems that my arms are too large for my body and I have it. I wear a size small shirt but sometimes the arms are too tight. Should I be working on cutting carbs more or exercising? I eat a lot of bread lol

Fat loss comes from consuming less calories than you expend, and unfortunately we're not able to "spot reduce" fat from any particular area of our body. Exercise can help the muscles hiding beneath the fat, but it does nothing to reduce/remove the fat itself. Carb intake has nothing whatsoever to do with it, except how it relates to your overall calorie intake as far as creating/maintaining a calorie deficit.

Don't judge yourself based on how some manufacturer decided to make their clothes. You can find two shirts of the same size in which the arms (and chest) fit completely differently. I'm a medium and I often run into arms that are made for toothpicks. Just find a shirt that is styled to fit your body.

To lose arm fat, you should focus on eating less calories than you burn each day. The same goes for hip fat, stomach fat, and all the other fats. You cannot spot lose fat, and where you lose it has to do with genetic factors and not what you are doing for exercise. It is good to exercise for many reasons though, and "toning" your arms through exercise will give you better results once you do lose the fat.

I agree with the majority above.

Besides what they all said, please understand that a lot of women's clothes are Just Stupid.

Even when I'm pretty thin, BMI 20, 120 pounds at 5'5", a lot of women's clothes that otherwise fit, and some that are otherwise pretty large, are too tight in the arms. At that weight, I don't have much arm fat, and I'm strong but not hyper-muscular.

Honestly, some clothing manufacturers seem to think we're weak, heroin-chic, skinny waifs, not actual humans with bones and enough muscles to carry a grocery bag unaided.

Unlikely it's you; likely it's the clothes that have a problem. SMH!

Definately womens clothes regarding arms is never consistent.

I recommend tricep exercises combined with bicep and shoulder. This will reshape your arms. Your tricep is a fairly large muscle that is often neglected. It truly helps to shape your arm. You may be quite shocked after several months of consistancy .💪

Buy men's shirts. The arms are reasonable and if you're a small in one brand, you're small in all brands.

I have about a 4" flab hang on my arms. Only way for me to get rid of it is surgery.
