In this video, I’m going to talk about upper arm fat. I’ve talked a lot about belly fat, but I haven’t fully covered the issue of gaining fat in the upper part of the body.

I’m going to quickly summarize the body types.

Liver - Often associated with a pot-belly
Cortisol - Often associated with a saggy belly
Estrogen - Associated with fat in the hips, thighs, and buttocks
Thyroid - Associated with fat all over the body

When people come to me to help them with upper arm fat, the first question I ask is this: when did it all start? It usually starts after an increase in estrogen. Anything that supports the menstrual cycle or balances estrogen is great for upper arm fat.

Here’s how you can balance estrogen:
• Drink kale shakes
• Avoid all soy products and ingredients
• Eat all organic, hormone-free foods

what if i have skinny hip/thighs and huge flabby arms? xD 
story of my life x(

[seckzsymbol]

I think I have an adrenal body type, but since puberty my arms have always been "thick".  Even when I was a size zero and weighted 98 pounds, my arms were always larger than the rest of my body.  Any advice on this?

[NovemberRain]

You are the only one covering this topic. My arm size is just not reducing...it's like all the excess weight has gone to my arms

[velvet]

I don’t even eat any of those foods and still getting this though.

you are smart af. you see reality as it is. that is incredible

[mjrocks]

I am estrogen depleted and 70. Lifting weights helps.

[nourasupercutie]

This is very helpful and accurate! my whole life I’ve been skinny on the upper part of my body including my stomach it used to be flat, but had more fats on thighs and hips, recently I’ve been gaining massive amounts of weight due to sudden increased consumption of carbs and the fat is accumulating mainly in my arms and belly! I will be starting keto “again” since today and hopefully I will not leave it this time until I reach my goal weight. Thank you so much dr. Berg you are a blessing. 🙏🏻

Fucking hate it. Can't wear short sleeves in the summer. I'm literally anorexic looking I can't lose any more weight but my arms man. They are extremely fat.

I think my fat arms actually started at puberty, both my mom and grandma have flabby arms, even though they are not chubby.

[acham]

Makes sence. I was put on the pill at age 13 for acne and painful periods...im 31 now and im going to get liposuction in my arms as soon as im done nursing my new baby....

[megamaze]

Mine started once I started having babies. Within 5 months of being pregnant with my first child I had fat and cellulite on my upper arms.

[aquarianlight]

Had no idea that soy could do this to upper body fat. I was taking my morning coffe with soy milk every morning for over 2 years and boy my arms are paying for it.

[kipperkristy]

I lost weight doing keto. My arms was so huge I had to get surgery to remove the access skin.

[Resjellpuff]

I had a total hysterectomy 14 years ago, every reproductive organ in my abdomen was encased with endometriosis. I began having arm problems after this and they are huge, with a crease in the upper arm. It affects my clothing choices constantly. So I don’t see how this can be estrogen related for me.

[emmym]

I had rapid and large breast development during puberty, but I've since gotten a breast reduction. However my upper back and arms still noticably store more fat than the rest of my body. It's so annoying.

[truthbetold]

Not ME. I have HUGE arms (fat and flabby) that are wider then my face, and small butts/legs. It’s very disproportionate. I don’t understand why. I know that it’s not estrogen dominance because I actually had to go on medication when I initially got pregnant due to my low estrogen. So I don’t understand why my arms are so large.

[saved]

I am a thyroid body type (acquired hypothyroidism As they call it) with extremely large arms, even my forearms are larger than normal. What can I do? It's hard to find tops and coats to fit them.

[Cool-hs]

What about the women in menopause with fat upper arms

[pelucheam]

It’s hard and I try to accept it but my arm fats drives me crazy! I even try to go work out and keep constant with my work outs but it is still there 😢
