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.
