What to eat

-

YOUR diet can also help you tone your arms, says nutritioni­st Lola Biggs (togetherhe­alth.co.uk). Protein builds muscle and is important after a workout as it’s used for muscle growth and repair. Poached or scrambled eggs are a great source of protein. They are also an excellent fat-burning nutrient so a perfect postworkou­t breakfast. Slow carbs can help blast fat and keep you energised for longer. Sweet potatoes are a great example. Full of vitamins, carotenoid­s and antioxidan­ts. Berries are packed with polyphenol antioxidan­ts that help burn fat and prevent it from forming. They also improve blood flow to your muscles. Throw a handful into a blender for a smoothie or scatter on to your porridge.
