The Guy Behind Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle

By Caitlin Ryan

Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle author Tom Venuto is going to be popular around here at Your Health Reporter! I just bought the book and already I can tell you that Tom Venuto is rather impressive and receives a big nod from me and definitely KNOWS what he is talking about!

What I can tell you is that I am already giving Tom Venuto a big thumbs up! Tom Venuto is a competitive natural body builder (meaning he has never used steroids). He has won championships and has been featured in many magazines including IRONMAN and Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness. He has a stellar body at 3.7% body fat, and he is extremely healthy! However, that is not why I think he is so qualified to offer fat loss advice.

Tom Venuto is the author of many published fitness articles and he is involved in organizations such as the American College of Sports Medicine. He is well educated with a bachelors degree in Exercise Science. He knows and understands fat loss, muscle building and proper nutrition; yet, that is STILL not why I think his book is going to be amazing!

Tom Venuto receives a thumbs up from Your Health Reporter because he has spent the last 19 years educating himself, training his body, and most importantly, trying virtually every diet and supplement known. He has taken that knowledge and spent 14 years testing and developing his program, Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle.

The weight loss industry (programs, diet pills, diet supplements etc.) is not a billion dollar a year industry by accident. Many weight loss or fat loss products are practically designed to fail the buyer. Initially, they lose a lot of weight; tout the product and others buy the product. Then, they gain all the weight back and do what? Yup, buy another product. Tom Venuto learned this through actually trying hundreds of programs and products and he was determined to find a better way!

Tom Venuto tried virtually all of the weight loss or fat loss products and gimmicks. He knows through experience that though weight loss is possible with most of those diets and pills, FAT loss or body fat and keeping that body fat down is NOT possible with most programs.

We want to lose the right kind of weight (BODY FAT!) and keep lean body mass so that we look sexy and lean, not scrawny and flabby. You cannot accomplish this without proper nutrition and exercise.

Metabolism is also another key component of proper weight loss. Very low calorie diets LOWER your metabolism. This causes your body to store body fat! This is one of the most important aspects of understanding how to lose body fat and keep it off! If you want to burn fat and build lean body mass, you absolutely have to keep your metabolism at optimum level! - 16004
