Sugar addictions are real. We are born liking sugar more than breast milk from our mothers. And studies have shown that high levels of sugar change quantities of dopamine in your brain. Not good for reducing flabby arms.

Even worse, sugars elevates insulin which is a hormone that regulates arm fat loss. So if you have high levels of insulin, the flabby arms will never go away no matter what you do.

Hence, it is imperative that you win the war on sugar to finally get slim and sexy arms that are no longer flabby.

Here are some tips on how to do it:

1. Prepare for the cravings. If you mentally prepare for the withdrawal-like symptoms from eliminating sugar, you will be far better off than someone who simply tries to wing it. Prepare for the battle and you increase chances of victory.

2. Stabilize levels of blood sugar. Once levels of blood sugar plummet, your body will send you on a sugar scavenging hunt. After a certain point, it will be nearly impossible to resist the cravings. So never let yourself go hungry if you want to get rid of those flabby arms.

3. Distract yourself. I knew a world caliber wrestler that would play intense video game tournaments during his most excruciating bouts of dieting. The brain can only take on so many inputs at once. If you distract yourself, your cravings will subside.

4. Have some fake sugar. Artificial sweeteners can trick your brain into thinking that it is getting sugar. You get the taste without the calories. The key here is to use them sparingly since we still do not know if they are safe.

5. Have some south American tea. Specifically, yerba mate. This stuff is strong and can completely block out your cravings for an entire day. The only issue here, however, is that if you take too much, you might not be able to sleep.

Getting rid of flabby arms and sugar addictions do not mix. I strongly recommend that you attack your sugar addiction head on if you really want lean and toned arms. Once the sugar intake is lowered, insulin will go down and you will be well on your way to flabby arm freedom.
