Are you trying to get rid of bicep and tricep fat as part of your weight loss program? If so, you're not alone: the upper arms are a key area of concern for many people trying to lose weight and improve their appearance. For some, that annoying flab around the area above the elbow -- sometimes called 'bat wings' or 'bingo arm' -- can seem particularly resistant to change. So what can you do to help speed up improvement in this area?

It's important to realize that for many people, improving the appearance of the upper arms is a question of toning muscle as well as getting rid of fat. Following an exercise program as part of your weight loss plan can generally help to develop your ratio of muscle to fat, but you may also need to find out about routines that specifically target the triceps and biceps areas.

A lot of dieters have a specific 'problem area' where they're particularly keen to reduce fat. Unfortunately, it's generally accepted that you can't 'spot-burn' fat from a single area. Improvements will come as a result of overall body fat reduction combined with efforts to improve muscle tone.

Ready to get started on your program to shift those extra pounds? Look for leaner biceps and triceps as part of your general slimming progress. Here are five top tips to help you progress towards your goal:

Drink plenty of water: water plays an important role in removing waste products from your body -- and it can also contribute to a feeling of 'fullness'.

Cut out soda drinks: the sugar in regular soda brings more calories into your diet. If at first you can't give them up entirely, try to gradually limit your intake.

Don't be tempted to skip meals: it will increase your hunger pangs later on and make it harder for you to stick to your normal diet plan.

Exercise portion control: if you eat off smaller plates, it's easier to get used to smaller portions without feeling that you're depriving yourself.

Resist 'clean plate syndrome': were you raised to believe that you should finish everything on your plate? Try eating your food more slowly and look for the signals your body sends to tell you that you have had enough.
