I’m getting married in 6 months. How can I lose fat in my arms?! I feel like my arms in my stomach are my biggest problem areas. Or at least the ones that make me the most self-conscious. And honestly my stomach isn’t that bad, it’s really just my arms. Any advice would help! I’m 27 with no real health issues other than being overweight, and I’m allergic to fish and nuts if that is helpful. I work out at least twice a week but trying to make it more like 4 for at least for the next three months

85% is what you eat and 15% is exercise. I drop 30-40 pounds before any wedding I want to go to over 3-4 months. All diets work they are all just hard to sustain long term. I keep changing up my diets. I do regular blood tests and check in with my doctor so I know I am not doing anything unhealthy. Keto, juicing, etc. can’t guarantee where you lose weight from because the body does what it does and does it differently each time. I gain weight back because I don’t keep eating healthy and that’s on me.

You can’t spot reduce fat but if you have like zero muscle definition in your arms you can see results there if you focus on eating in deficit and doing body weight and hand weight exercises for your shoulders and triceps. Be prepared to look BIGGER around month 2ish (bc you now have muscle under your fat) and double down on your caloric restriction at that point. Remember this is a SLOW process — you will probably need the bulk of your 6 months depending on your goal —and you will not see results if you half ass it.

I agree with this....don't start off with weights if u have never worked with weights before...lots of YouTube videos are out there that use body weight to tone. Try thats first

Start lifting weights and go heavy.

Lifting heavy does not make you bulk. You have to be in a caloric surplus in order to increase in size. Lifting heavy, with a decent amount of protein increases lean muscle mass, key word being lean.

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area.

Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
