Armpit fat is a big issue for many, it can make you feel less confident, especially if you are a woman and you like wearing sleeveless blouses and dresses.
Girls want toned, skinny arms, guys want big muscles.
We can agree that nobody wants fat.
Girls and guys have this problem no matter how old they are.
But, when it comes to armpit fat, this problem is more common with women than with men.
What is armpit fat?
That’s fat that you can see between your bra straps and your armpit.
Piled up fat on the back is more common with women and you can see a lot of it when you put on a tight bra.
Therefore, people who have back fat are more prone to armpit fat.
What are the causes of armpit fat?
If you have fat on your upper arms and they are loose, too that’s a sign that your arms are your problematic area. (1)
If you find it hard to lose arm fat and they are the first thing that gets bigger when you gain weight, the cause of that might be accumulated toxins.
People who have higher amounts of bisphenol A in their bodies are more likely to pile up fat around their arms, according to a recent study.
Most of the bisphenol A in your body comes through direct contact with plastic.
Another reason for this kind of fat is that your body isn’t digesting carbs properly.
So, what to do?
Change your diet habits.
This embarrassing armpit fat will reduce and disappear eventually if you change your diet (avoid greasy, processed food).
You also need to do more exercise than usual (cardio that burns calories, fast walking, running… ) and start doing chest workout.
Avoid carbs, especially sweets, sodas, french fries.
Eat foods high in protein instead.
And start exercising, of course.
How to get rid of armpit fat effectively?
The area with fat around your upper arm and armpit can be treated with a laser and other noninvasive methods for burning fat.
There’s also one treatment that gets rid of fat with the help of an injection. (2)
But I am not gonna talk about these methods.
These methods can be effective but not in the long run.
If you want to get rid of armpit fat for good and get toned arms and back, you need to do the following exercises.
