Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle Review

Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle, an ebook by former body building champion Tom Venuto, is one of the best Fat loss ebooks I've read. It's not a fad diet, and it's not a get bulked up body building handbook. Rather, it's more of a life right, eat right concept, all tied up into an easy to read (but long) book.

The Simple Man or Womens Guide to Fat Loss

Burn the Fat has been written as the laymen s guide to getting lean and staying lean. There's no technical jargon, scientific terms, or words you might need a dictionary to understand. Tom Venuto wrote the book with you and me in mind. The average Joe or Jane that wanted the hard facts and a step-by-step program to get lean.

Here's what he says in the Preface of Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle:

"This book was written for you as a simple, yet detailed instruction manual. You get step-by-step instructions: Do this, don’t do that, eat this, don’t eat that, and so on. This is not just an informational book – it is a complete system that will take you from where you are now to where you want to be – in the shortest possible period of time."

If you're a body builder looking for guidance on how to bulk up and eat for maximum performance, keep searching this isn't the hand book for you. If you're 10, 20, 50 pounds over weight, want to get in shape and make lifestyle changes that will have a lasting effect then keep reading.

What's on the Inside of Burn The Fat?

The book is broken down into 17 chapters, each one teaching you a new piece of the fat loss puzzle. A point that Tom beats home through the whole book is that this book is about Fat loss not Weight loss. He wants to teach you to lose fat while building lean muscle, not just dropping pounds for the sake of losing weight.

I won't detail each chapter but here are the highlight from Tom Venuto's burn the fat:

Goal Setting: This might seem like a strange topic for a fat loss book, but it's important. When ever we're setting out on a long path to results we should have a written understanding of where we want to be. There will be days when following this plan won't be as easy as others, so it's good to know where you want to be. Tom dedicates an entire chapter to setting your goals and achieving them in terms of fat loss, body fat percentage, and personal fitness.

Education and Tracking Performance: The next several chapters are focused on how our body gains and loses fat, our body compositions, metabolic rates, and the math (yes math but it's not technical) of losing body fat. This section is really the turning point for most readers. It gives you the knowledge to understand why we gain and lose fat. This makes the rest of the book make complete sense when you start making changes to your daily eating habits.

Eating: My Favorite section, the next chapters are all about meal frequency, what to eat (good fats bad fats, carbs, and proteins), and a complete chapter on the Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle eating plan. This isn't a one size fits all plan, rather Tom gives you the knowledge needed to create your own meals and menus to get effective fat loss results.

Exercise: The last section of the book covers cardiovascular exercise and workouts for fat loss. Note how this is the last section of the book, which goes along with Tom's philosophy that our eating plays a bigger role in our body composition then our exercise. None the less, this section of the book is great.

Tom is big on what he calls H.I.I.T. (high intensity interval training) for fat loss. So instead of just going hard on a stationary bike or treadmill for 30 minutes he provides very detailed instructions on doing 30-120 second intervals on intense training alternating with 30-120 seconds of rest. This is a very effective way to burn fat.
