Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle

To be honest, the red flags were flying when I first saw
the ad for this e-book.

I'm a born skeptic, especially on the subject of weight loss and muscle building. I've seen too many "gurus" in this field come and go.

The claims seemed over the top: "Turbo-charge Your metabolism, gain muscle, burn off body fat and develop unstoppable motivation ... Guaranteed!"

Yeah, right. In my own weight training career, I've learned that people differ tremendously ... in genetics, in body type, in goals and desires, in plain old stick-to-it-iveness.

How dare this guy, Tom Venuto, claim he can guarantee to help anyone get leaner, faster than they ever thought possible?

Then I learned something that blew me away: Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle is the best selling fitness e-book in the history of the Internet.

Maybe the guy was just a genius at marketing. But maybe ... just maybe ... he was really delivering on those promises. There was some reason his e-book was selling like the proverbial hotcakes.

So I checked out Tom Venuto, checked out his system, checked out his customers' results.

Turns out, thousands of men and women of every age really are burning off body fat by following his program. Fat--not muscle or water weight. And, they're doing it naturally, without supplements, pills, or the latest weird exercise gizmo being hawked on late-night TV.

Venuto is a natural bodybuilder who believes in a common-sense approach to trimming off fat and building muscle. He doesn't go for gimmicks, because in the long run, gimmicks don't work.

Burn The Fat is not just another diet program. It's better described as a fat loss Bible. It is, simply, the most complete, detailed and precise guide to fat loss you'll ever read. (Click here if you want to see Venuto's own web site before reading further.)

What makes it so different from other weight loss and body building books and programs?

First, it's not a "weight loss" but a "fat loss" program. This may seem like splitting hairs, but once you've read just the first three chapters, there will be no doubt in your mind that pursuing "weight loss" is not only the wrong goal, it may be the reason you've failed to reach and maintain your ideal body weight.

Burn The Fat shows you why it's fat you must lose, not "weight" (which includes muscle, water and other lean tissue) and then goes on to show you exactly how to do it.

Second, what also makes Burn The Fat different is the thorough attention Venuto gives to every element of successful, healthy, and permanent fat loss.

Burn The Fat not only dispels the lies, myths and fallacies in this field, it is the most detailed book about fat loss ever written, in my opinion.

By reading Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle, (or better yet, studying it attentively), you will learn more about fat loss than you would from an entire year of nutrition classes or from a whole shelf of maintstream diet publications at your neighborhood bookstore.

If you're wondering if this is just some low-carb or high-protein diet, the answer is no. That's because with the information in this book, you will easily be able to determine your own ideal protein, carbs and fats ratio.

This personalized approach--so unlike the "one size fits all" formulas in the latest fad diet books--makes sense. Each of us is a unique individual, and no two people are exactly alike in terms of body physiology and personal goals.

Speaking of goals ... I loved the very first chapter of Tom Venuto's book. It's on goal setting, and is incredibly powerful.

That first chapter will give you what may be the ultimate secret to burning fat and getting in shape... and it has nothing to do with diets, supplements or training programs. Trust me on this.

The rest of the book teaches the complete mechanics of fat loss and muscle building, explained on both a scientific and a practical level. You can easily apply the practical advice to your own daily life in terms of what to eat and how to exercise for maximum, permanent results.

Who is Tom Venuto anyway? For starters, he's been bodybuilding for about 25 years and competing for most of them.

Furthermore, he's worked in the fitness industry as a personal trainer, health club manager, nutritionist, motivation coach and writer.

I mentioned that Venuto is a "natural" bodybuilder. What does this mean? It means he has never used steroids or any other illegal or questionable physique enhancing drugs--ever. This is important to me and should be to you, too.

As he says: "You can achieve amazing results on this program without ever taking drugs - and I'm living proof!"

If I have one criticism of Burn The Fat, it's that it contains so much information that some readers could find it nearly overwhelming. Nevertheless, it's worth the effort not to skip any part of it, because this could easily be the last book you will ever need to buy on the subject.

Will you benefit from this e-book?

Only you can answer that after reading the additional information at Venuto's web site as well as my remarks here.

Personally, I think this book is absolutely essential for body builders and anyone who is into weight training. You can bet I'll definitely be urging my own clients to grab it.

See, if you're looking to begin weight training at home, or at the gym; if you've been at it a while and are looking for some new weight training tips; and especially if you've taken up weight training to lose weight, this book will give you all the information you need.

But anyone who needs to lose weight will benefit greatly from it, too.

Venuto teaches the system that fitness models and bodybuilders use to reach single digit body fat levels and achieve rock-hard muscle definition that makes them look like "walking anatomy charts."

But it doesn't matter if those are goals that you aspire to or not.

The principles are the same whether you want to lose 10 or 100 pounds; whether you want to be 13% or 3% body fat; whether you want to compete in a bodybuilding or fitness show or you just want to look good on the beach.

I think Venuto's shooting straight with his claim that if you diligently apply the techniques in Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle, "you can literally choose any body you want."

One caution: You will find no "30 lbs. in 30 days" miracle being touted here. It's all about intelligent eating choices, planning, hard work and lifestyle.

"Burn the Fat is simple, but it's not easy," Venuto advises. That's honesty, friends. Another reason I've come to like this guy and his no-nonsense approach.

A word about the format of this program. Burn The Fat is an e-book--clean and professionally laid out, in the popular PDF format.

Admittedly, it's a little on the plain side, being just text, but that makes it ideal for printing and reading in the comfort of a favorite chair. (Because of it's size, it does require a robust printer and a good stack of paper!)

A few people might consider Burn The Fat a pricey because $39 seems like a fair chunk of money for an e-book download. However, after they see the sheer amount of information contained in its 340 pages -- not to mention the bonus e-books and reports that come with it -- almost everyone will agree that it is worth many times its price.

As with any how-to publication, you're paying for what the information can do for you, and clearly, Venuto's system has changed many lives. The hundreds of testimonials and success stories found on the Burn The Fat web site are proof of that.

The bottom line?

Anyone looking for a quick fix solution to fat loss, anyone eager to be told fairy tales, and anyone looking for a "magic bullet" offered by the likes of body wraps, fat burning pills, diet shakes, or "fat-burning" creams is best advised to steer clear of Burn The Fat.

On the other hand, if you're tired of spinning your wheels and going nowhere, and want the truth about losing fat and putting on muscle and are ready and willing to put in the work and discipline necessary to gain a fat free body, you will find Burn The Fat to be one of the best investments you've ever made.
