Burn
The Fat - Feed The Muscle
By Tom Venuto - Review
Review by Rahul Alvares
All of three hundred
and forty pages, "Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle" (BFFM)
is one of the most comprehensive books I have read on fat loss.
What I like most about Tom Venuto is his honesty.
Tom himself writes
somewhere in the beginning of the book – "I am probably
the only person in the world who will tell you that fat loss is
difficult!" There... the cat’s out of the bag and its
not going back in!
As the chapters progress
from "Goal Setting"to "Weight Training For Fat
Loss," Tom takes you through a most interesting, informative
and easily-explained story on burning fat. BFFM is a lifestyle.
It is not a thirty day diet schedule with extreme measures for
attaining unrealistic goals, it is something that you could work
with for the rest of your life and stay in excellent health if
you do so.
The good thing about
the book is it gives you the right conscience. After you’ve
read the book you will feel guilty as Judas when you touch a donut
(if you even manage to do so in the first place!). The chapters
on nutrition are excellent. Most of the book actually deals with
effectively monitoring your diet and calorie intake.
Like I said nothing
extreme. If you are looking for a secret formula like the extract
of some fungi found only in South America, or a schedule that
says ‘thirty two minutes of cardio and fourteen sets of tricep
kickbacks’ then you are going to be highly disappointed.
Because BFFM is about teaching you how to fish and not merely
giving you the fish when you are hungry.
Tom will teach you
how to diet, exercise and monitor your progress. He will even
give you the right motivation and make you set very realistic
goals. Kind of like walking you to the door. Then comes your part
of experimenting, finding out what works for you and stepping
back on track every time you find yourself having drifted away.
That’s the honesty of the whole program.
If you are relatively
new to training you will find the book most informative.
But personally I think
that for an advanced trainer it will be like reading a lot of
things that he/she already knows about. If you already have a
good knowledge of dieting then there are few new things you might
learn about in BFFM. BFFM is very basic and broad in its approach.
Although I don’t really think I can blame Tom for that because
I, too, believe that the real secrets to fat loss are fundamentals
and hard work.
