4 Tips To Tone Arms When Eating Out
Trying to tone arms and eating out don’t mix. Why? Because your arm fat loves restaurant food. In fact, it grows with restaurant food.
Unfortunately, a restaurant’s main goal is to get you to come back. How do they do this? By injecting their food with the tastiest (and unhealthiest) of ingredients. The more taste, the more sales.
Partially hydrogenated vegetable oils are a perfect example here. Found in so many restaurant items, Harvard researchers have proven that they’re lethal. Not good.
But not all hope is lost. There are some things you can do to minimize-and in some cases eliminate-the damage when eating out. In this article I will reveal 4 tips to get tone arms even when eating at a restaurant:
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. Stay clear of all the refined carbs. I know you love digging into that massive loaf of bread the waiter brings out, but we’re on an arm toning mission here. And that bread isn’t going to do us any good! Instead, stick to whole grains, and if possible, legumes ONLY. Now if you don’t have enough self control with the bread, have a salad before the waiter brings it out.
3. Make sure your salad is healthy. What can make a salad unhealthy? A monsoon of dressing and an explosion of cheese. Strive for a salad that has spinach or some type of lettuce mix and make sure that you don’t have more than 1 table spoon of dressing. And don’t go crazy with the cheese!
4. Eat half of what’s on your plate. A full course meal at a restaurant can have an entire days worth of calories-I’m not exaggerating here. Your jiggly arm fat loves restaurant food. Request a to-go box before your meal arrives, and once it does, shove half of it in. Alternatively, you could share a plate with the person you are with.
Disclaimer: if you rarely eat out, these tips are less relevant. However, if you eat at restaurants more than once per week, then you should follow the advice in this article. You shouldn’t give up socializing when trying to tone arms! So have fun!
