A Review Of Tom Venuto’s Burn The Fat Inner Circle
May 31, 2008
A Review Of Tom Venuto’s Burn The Fat Inner Circle (The Internet’s Premier Fat Loss Support Community!)
I just took a real hard look at Tom Venuto’s member’s-only website called “Burn The Fat Inner Circle” and I have to say that I am very impressed with what he has put together.
This site is huge and contains some really powerful resources for people trying to lose fat and get in great shape.
This site, just like Tom’s other sites, has very high quality materials that will help his member’s burn more fat and really achieve the results they are looking for.
Before I share with you the insider-details of what the Inner Circle offers let me fill you in on who Tom Venuto is just in case you don’t know who he is.
Tom Venuto is a well known “Fat Loss Guru” — and a natural bodybuilder himself (can you say 3% bodyfat!!!). He’s the author of “Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle” which just happens to be the best fat loss and diet e-book I have ever read. (I reviewed Burn The Fat some time ago. If you’re in the market for a learner body then you should read Tom’s E-book).
Ok, back to my review of the Inner Circle website…
Burn the Fat Inner Circle is in fact a membership site. That means that yes; it does cost money to join. You may be wondering why you should even consider paying for a membership here if you have access to all kinds of free information online.
It’s a good question for sure and one that I asked too before I reviewed Tom’s site.
There’s a lot of free stuff on the internet and many free forums too but let’s be honest, a lot these free sites are pure garbage. For example, some of the free forums online are not closely moderated and I have had experiences were other forum members completely trashed other members even swearing at them! Not much of a supportive community.
The vast majority of the stuff online that isn’t complete garbage is slanted one way or another to sell you something. So it takes time to find real, helpful fat loss information.
Finding good teachers and supportive people can be a challenge on some of the free forums and sites but after checking out Tom’s fat loss support community I must say that I was impressed with how supportive the moderators and other members were.
I have always been a believer that finding good ‘mentors’ (people that have done what you want to do) has really helped me to achieve success at a faster rate. From what I have seen, the Inner Circle has a phenomenal group of fat loss mentors that can you help you get your questions answered.
Being part of a community of like-minded, qualified people can be a real motivating factor and the Burn The Fat Inner Circle contains a member’s forum — with thousands of members. These folks aren’t going to ‘flame’ you, call you stupid for asking questions, and they are not there to sell you supplements or other garbage.
And best of all, topics are moderated by professionals with impressive credentials (some top fitness professionals and fat loss success stories there to help you out).
Wrapping this up… joining a membership program can make very good sense… provided it’s the right program — and I assure you, this one is top notch.
OK, before I tell you what you’ll find inside the member’s-only area of the Burn The Fat Inner Circle, let me answer one last and very obvious question…
“Do I need to be on Tom’s Burn The Fat program in order to join this fat loss support community?”
My answer is absolutely not. There is a ton of great material in this site that will be of benefit to anyone — no matter what diet you are currently on.
To be fair though… it appears (by viewing posts in the forums) that many members are either on Tom’s plan or are at least familiar with it. So you’ll fit into this community better if you’re at least familiar with Tom’s Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle lifestyle program.
Let’s get to the good stuff shall we?
So what will you find in Tom’s Burn The Fat Inner Circle?
Oh boy… where to start?
Well, it’s all there really — everything you could possibly need on your fat loss quest.
I’m sure the biggest benefit for you is going to be the forums. They’re full of activity and supportive answers from real people that ‘walk the walk and talk the talk.”
The forum members are from all walks of life, all motivated by the same thing (and ready to lend a helpful hand to their fellow community members).
And of course, there’s a ton of info there as well…
Here are some of the coolest features that the Inner Circle offers:
• Tom Venuto’s Burn The Fat Show (A Members-Only MP3 Audio Program) that really has some powerful tips delivered by Tom Venuto himself • Audio interviews with top fitness and fat loss experts (I download a few of these and put them on my IPOD — very inspiring to listen to during my cardio workout today!) • Amazing fat loss success stories – learn how others just like you achieved their impressive body transformations (These interviews are great and I got some really cool takeaways from these people who have taken Tom’s program and ran with it!)
• Ever-expanding library of exclusive (not published elsewhere) articles; some really meaty stuff!
• Exclusive (not published elsewhere) Burn The Fat program Q & A that are great if you are going through a fat loss program and want your questions answered. • Library of downloadable e-books and e-reports for members only — My goodness! Tom sells these special reports and e-books to non-members and if you were to buy them one by one you would pay over $379!
• Diet and menu tracking and planning tools that are PRICELESS!! I figured out exactly how many calories I needed to take in for each meal for my fat loss plan; so cool!
• Calorie and nutrient information at your fingertips
• Weight loss and fitness news headlines that keep me up to date with the latest fat loss tips
• Community photo galleries where Tom’s members post before, after and progress pictures — so inspiring!
• Delicious taste-tested fat-burning recipes — I highly recommend Tom’s “Quick N’ Easy Salmon Burgers” — DELICIOUS!
• NO B.S. Science-based and unbiased supplement reviews (I stopped taking one of the supplements I was spending about $50 bucks per month on because of one of these reviews!)
• And there is even more that I am running out of space to cover here… The tagline of the Inner Circle is that it is supposed to be the Internet’s Premier Fat Loss Support Community, and having checked it all out, I’d have to say I agree 100%.
Bottom line?
Tom Venuto is a credible, qualified professional who knows his stuff. More than that perhaps, is the fact that he has a genuine concern for the people his is helping and is concerned with taking care of the people that enter his program above all else.
Tom has helped thousands of people shed thousands of pounds of fat and he is not like some online marketers out to take advantage of the hopes and dreams of honest people looking to make some positive changes in there life.
You’ll see no supplements for sale here and you’ll be impressed with the honesty and integrity that Tom has infused into the Inner Circle site — it really is something special and my recommendation is to check it out.
His “Inner Circle” is a premier quality resource — well worth the money, and a benefit to anyone, anywhere, of any age who is trying to lose weight naturally and permanently.
I highly recommend the Burn the Fat Inner Circle.
Sincerely,
Greg
PS — Don’t take my word for it… just see what some people are saying about the Inner Circle:
“My initial weight: 425+ lbs… Walking 10-15 steps was killer then… Today: 218 Lbs of fat put to rest! It changed my very foundation in life; there is absolutely no feeling like having control of your entire life again… there’s just no price you can put on it” –Mike Boyd, Inner Circle Member
“One day, while I was looking through a pack of photos, I came across a picture of me… and I barely recognized myself! At 5′ 1″, and150 pounds I had to face the fact that I was Forty and Fat. I had no idea that I had “let myself go” so much. So I decided to make some changes. Somehow, I happened upon Burn The Fat and ordered. It was the best money I ever spent. Today, I am 106 pounds, and I wear a size 0 (zero!)I am a personal trainer helping other women achieve their goals. I am a mom that can keep up with my kids. My self-confidence has soared. I actually decided to compete in two figure competitions this year – something I never would have dreamed possible before!
Sincerely, Aida Miodus, Inner Circle Member
“I used the BURN THE FAT program to not only lose 137 pounds, but it also changed my entire life and the life of my family. BURN THE FAT has also helped me achieve emotional, physical and financial goals I never thought possible. I believe that your entire success can be traced back to something as simple as desire. I need you to ask yourself one simple question – ‘How Bad Do You Want It?’ If you want it bad the battle is on and you can win, you just have to keep that desire fueled.
Sincerely,
Mike Ogorek, Inner Circle Member

2 Cardio Mistakes You’re Still Making
May 31, 2008
www.BurnTheFat.com
REASON #1: NOT ENOUGH FOCUS ON TOTAL CALORIES BURNED
REASON #2: TOO MUCH FOCUS ON WHAT TYPE OF CALORIES BURNED
(B) A 30 minute, sweat-pouring, heart-pounding, lung-burning run?
The reason people still buy it is because the “fat burning zone” myth sounds so plausible because of two little science facts:
- The higher your intensity, the more carbs you burn during the workout
- The lower your intensity, the more fat you burn during the workout
It’s not that fat oxidation doesn’t matter, but what if you have a high percentage of fat oxidation but an extremely low number of calories burned?
If you really want to be in the “fat burn zone,” you could sit on your couch all day long and that will keep you there quite nicely because “couch sitting” is a really low intensity (“fat-burning”) activity.
HERE’S THE FAT-BURNING SOLUTION!
BUT WAIT – THERE IS MORE TO IT…
Incidentally, this is the exact reason that a few studies show that adding cardio or aerobic training to a diet “did not improve fat loss”: It’s not because the cardio didn’t work, it was because the researchers didn’t control for diet and the subjects ate more!!
It should go without saying that nutrition is the foundation on which every fat loss program is built.
Choose the combination of type, intensity, duration and frequency that suits your lifestyle and preferences the best, and WORK THE VARIABLES to get the fat loss results you want, but whichever cardio program you choose, remember that a solid fat burning nutrition program, such as Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle is necessary to help you make the most of it.
Train hard and expect success,

Fat Burners: The Unadulterated Truth

Fat Burners: The Unadulterated Truth
By Tom Venuto, NSCA-CPT, CSCS
www.BurnTheFat.com
If you’ve paid any attention at all to the weight loss industry, chances are you’ve probably heard about some kind of fat burner supplements. The ads that promote these fat burners usually have a very lean model, often with a six-pack claiming incredible fat loss success. These companies would like you to believe that the only way to guarantee fat loss progress is by supplementing your diet with one of their “miracle pills,” and that it is not so much a matter of proper nutrition and hard work.
While I won’t dismiss the fact that there are some ingredients in some “fat burner” products that might help a little bit, I take great displeasure in seeing those kinds of misleading headlines as well as the misleading use of models who are often paid to endorse the product even though they may never have even used it (they’re just models!)
Many “fat burner” companies have been sued by the Federal Trade Commission for false advertising, false claims and falsifying before and after photos.
Just so you know those numbers arent something I just pulled out of thin air, lets take an example:
- walk your dog for 15 minutes
- three times a day, walk for 5 minutes at normal casual pace
- 30 minutes of ironing
- bagging leaves and grass clippings for 14 minutes
- re arrange your furniture for 10 minutes
- wash your car, 15 minutes
- vacuuming for 15 minutes
- 7.2 minutes of walking up stairs (could be spread throughout the day)
Ah yes, but why move your body when you can take the pill and metabolism increases while you sit and watch TV? How about for your health? A body that is not moved, rots away. Unlike a car which only has so many miles on it and wears out from over-use, people are the only “machines” on earth that fall apart from under-use.
Here’s what any good personal trainer will always tell you: No amount of calorie restriction or pill-popping will ever give you FITNESS. It willl never give you STRENGTH. it will never get you MUSCULARITY. It will never give you FUNCTIONALITY. At best it will help you reduce body mass slightly.
On one hand, I’m tempted to say that everything counts and that yes, 75 calories here, and 75 calories there, it ALL adds up, because it does. After you’re exercising regularly and all your fundamentals are in place, details and little things do matter.
I’m simply asking you to put the benefits of any fat burners in proper perspective and realize that (1) there is no “need” for taking them and (2) the claims made in the ads are often erroneous or exagerrated.
1. NEVER buy a fat burner unless you get independent verification of the claims made for the product.
2. Put it in perspective
3. See if there are any side effects or health warnings.
4. Read the label and see if the product contains enough active ingredient to even work.
5. Proprietary blend scam.
Some companies, DONT LET YOU SEE how much ingredient is in the product formula, because it contains multiple ingredients and they say their formula is a “trade secret” aka “proprietary”, so they list WHAT is in the product but not HOW MUCH. If you don’t know how much is in there then how are we (the consumers) supposed to get independent confirmation of the facts and analyze whether this product is any good?
6. Make sure there is human research, not just rodent research.
7. Look for more than one human study.
Actually, I think it’s a good thing that nutrition and supplement companies fund and sponsor some of the research. They should. They should not only back up their claims with published clinical trials, they should share some of the cost of this expensive research.
Do you REALLY need “more” than nutrition and exercise??????
Train hard and expect success,

Fat Loss Workouts For Obese Men
May 24, 2008
By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
Turbulence Training for Fat Loss
Fat loss for obese people can follow the same Turbulence Training workouts that fat loss for advanced people will follow, but we just need to adjust the exercises and intensity. The principles remain the same.
We’ll use multi-muscle exercises. We’ll do them in superset pairs. And yes, we’ll even use interval training for this. It will be modified, but we can still do it.
Recently, my friend and nutrition expert Dr. Chris Mohr interviewed me on how an obese person can use Turbulence Training for fat loss.
Q: Craig, what do you do if you have an extremely obese individual who is totally inactive — is TT still the best recommendation?
Answer:
Yes, it still is.
I built the Turbulence Training system working with men and women from 14-75, and my experience included many obese men and women along the way, including men over 300 pounds and women over 225 pounds.
Provided their doctor approved them for exercise, we were ready to go!
So that’s why I’ve included the Introductory and Beginner Level TT Workouts in the Turbulence Training for Fat Loss manual. Any sedentary individual, man or woman, needs to start there.
In fact, the very first phase is performed with 90% of the exercises done lying on the ground. Users are shocked to see how hard LYING exercises can be…but they are the perfect blend of safety and intensity for overweight, inactive folks.
The perfect starting point.
That brings up one other thing…and the main point beginners need to understand is that NUTRITION is the key to fat loss in the first couple of weeks when they are getting back into exercise.
Folks will get more results from following your meal plans. That said, they need to choose an exercise program that will build them up for future training sessions…and that’s what my TT workouts do.
On the other hand, if inactive folks launch right into a serious cardio/endurance program, they’ll get a sour taste of the “Dark Side of Cardio” pretty quick, putting them in the Doctor’s office with overuse injuries.
So choose your fat loss weapons wisely when just starting out!
If you are a beginner, make sure to check with your doctor before starting a new diet or exercise program.
Safety first!
