What makes this so different than the rest of the crop of
2010 “diet” books? Aren’t all these books more or less
the same?

Not this one.

We all know that we gain fat when we take in more
calories than we burn. But we’re not always rational
creatures when it comes to food and exercise.

Recognizing the emotional and psychological factors that
sabotage success and cause weight relapse, Venuto’s new
hardcover Book, The Body Fat Solution (Avery/Penguin Group)
hones in on the real causes of body-fat.

This book hands you a scientifically-sound plan based on
*principles* not current fads, to  take back control of
your body and end emotional eating for good.

In The Body Fat Solution, Venuto outlines the 5 principles
that will retrain your mind and body for automatic success.

Determined to help you keep the fat off for good, Tom shows
you how to:

* End emotional eating and stop diet self sabotage

* Re-program your mind to develop “auto-pilot” success habits

* Go beyond goal setting by crafting a powerful “vision”
that motivates you for life

* Eat healthy, delicious food almost unconsciously and
shed the pounds almost effortlessly

* Increase your metabolism and break any fat loss plateau

* Reshape your body through lean muscle training for a
strong core and toned frame

* Build a supportive social network of friends, family,
and mentors to help motivate you and keep you on the path.

HERE’S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE BODY FAT SOLUTION

* The Wall street journal says that The body fat solution is
more “attitude adjustment” than diet.

* Steve Yu, producer of ‘Inspired The Movie’ says, “it will
change the paradigm in how we view weight loss…”

* Judith beck, PhD, Cognitive psychologist says, “Read this book -
if you want to lose weight, improve your body and your health,
and keep up these improvements for life. Tom Venuto gives it
to you straight, basing his program on solid science and
common sense. You will come away with a new feeling of
inspiration and a new action plan to get you started and
keep you on track to help you reach your goals-and then beyond.”

* Motivational Speaker Brian Tracy says:

“Tom Venuto’s Body Fat Solution is one of the most important
books on health, happiness and physical well-being ever written.
In this fast-moving, easily usable series of methods and techniques,
you learn how to enjoy superb physical fitness, achieve your ideal
weight, and feel terrific about yourself both emotionally and
spiritually.”

* Top trainer Alwyn Cosgrove says:

“In 2003 Tom Venuto changed the fat loss world with his ebook
Burn the Fat – Feed the Muscle… In 2009 he’s done it again
with the Body Fat Solution. The World’s expert on fat loss speaks
- I listen. I’ve often said – Fat loss doesn’t start with an
exercise program, a diet or a supplement… It starts with a
mindset shift. That mindset shift begins with Tom’s new book.
If you want to change your body – you need to change your mind.
And to do that – you need Tom Venuto.”

* Library journal, the 132-year old publication read by
100,000 librarians, said:

“Venuto gets at all the physical, psychological, and even
sociological aspects of overeating, outlining a program of
mental, cardio, and strength training stressing accountability
and self-control. Nothing fluffy about this book: just well-
founded scientific research and clearly illustrated direction.”

You’ll be happy that you did.

About the Author:

• Breakfast
• Protein Shake
• Lunch
• Protein Shake
• Dinner
• Protein Shake

I also recommend protein as an immediate meal right after working out. Especially if you want to build or tone up your muscles.  Be sure and mix some oats in with your drink for maximum effects.

So what’s the best Protein powder?

I am no expert on protein powders however I do like the taste of Optimum 100% Whey protein. I just stick with plain vanilla and then add fruit or some other flavoring of my own. But you may like some other flavor such as chocolate or one of the other large assortments of flavors.
I have been using it for years now. It has also won Bodybuiding.com’s product of the year and protein of the year 4 years in a row.

You can purchase Optimum 100% Whey protein. at Bodybuilding.com or at your local nutrition store.

When I am looking at the labels on any food, the first products are always the most important.

As a general rule, the shorter the list, the better the product. So let’s look at breads and bred labels. The best and most nutritious bread may be made from only one whole ingredient such as whole wheat flour, or other whole grains as the first ingredients. It may also contain a short list of honey or molasses, water, yeast and a little salt.

Be careful, when you purchase “whole wheat bread” if the first ingredient says “wheat flour”, then that’s just another method off putting one over on you. The key-word on the bread label is “whole.”

Say Yes:- When reading bread labels look for these pluses:

• I’ve already mentioned the importance of the word “whole” like whole wheat, whole grains etc. look for labels that say 100 percent whole wheat. In other words, whole wheat flour is the first ingredient on the label.
• A high Fiber Content which will help you to feel and stay full longer. Fiber has a multitude of health benefits so look for breads or any other food that are high in fiber.
• Look for high protein content, even in breads. I try and include protein in every meal that I eat.
• The word organic is good. Just make sure that it is really organic. Let’s make sure that it is not adulterated like the word natural which is sometimes deceptive.
• Breads that are low in Sodium are to be desired. In many types of bread that you buy in the store there’s quite a bit of salt. The lower the salt content the better, bread should contain less than 350 mg of salt per serving.

Say No- Steer away from these Ingredients when reading bread labels:

• Look for the words “Partially hydrogenated” and “hydrogenated fats”. These are bad for you. If you see these words on the bread label, simply put the bread back on the shelf and look for another brand.
• Say No to the word “Bleached”, especially if it’s the first ingredient.
• “Enriched flour” is deceptive, don’t purchase these breads.
• Does it contain high fructose corn syrup? I know, it’s nearly impossible to find bread without any sweetener in it, but you do want to stay away from High fructose corn syrup. Look for honey sweetened bread as an alternative.

As I said previously, the term “wheat flour,” can be misleading. A truthful label would state what percentage is whole wheat. Like “75% or 100% Whole wheat”. If it doesn’t say Whole wheat” then it isn’t a good choice.

There are some non wheat flours that you might consider as long as they follow the guidelines I have given you above. The word “Flour” doesn’t necessarily mean that it is wheat. Flour can be made from any grain. Some non wheat flours to consider would be buckwheat, oats, rye, flax seed, soy, and arrowroot.

The very best bread to purchase would be a “multi whole grain” or “whole wheat bread.” I also like whole wheat pita bread. For additional flavor I like breads that are sweetened with a little honey, as long as there are not too many other ingredients in the bread.

I’m not a big bread-eater; I prefer to get my carbohydrates from some other sources such as brown rice or oats. That said, If someone offers me a slice of home-baked whole wheat bread then that would be simply irresistible.

Are you tired of trying to read bread labels? If so, then my advice would be to make your own bread at home and then you know exactly what ingredients it contains!

Fit On Purpose,

Greg Nemer

Disclaimer: I am not a certified nutritionist; I’m just tired of all the hype, fad diets, and lies that so called experts are selling to the public.

If you would like to receive blog updates from Fit on Purpose plus some free reports to help you lose fat use this form:

Exact quantities and menus are not listed, just the individual foods, and of course my food intake does vary. I aim to get as many different varieties of fruits and vegetables as possible over the course of every week and there are a lot of substitutions made, so you are not seeing the full list of everything I eat, only what foods I eat most of the time.

I also want to point out that while I don’t believe that extreme low carbs are necessary or most effective when you look at the long term, research has shown that there are some definite advantages to a low to moderate carb and higher protein diet for fat loss purposes. These include reduced appetite, higher thermic effect of food and “automatic” calorie control.

Personally, I reduce my carb intake moderately and temporarily prior to bodybuilding competitions. Specifically, it’s the foods that are on the starchy carbs and grains list that go down during the brief pre-competition period when I’m working on that really “ripped” look. I keep the green and fibrous veggie intake very high however, along with large amounts of lean protein, small amounts of fruit, and adequate amounts of essential fats.

This list reflects my personal preferences, so this is not a prescription to all readers to eat as I do. It’s very important for compliance to choose foods you enjoy and to have the option for a wide variety of choices. In the past several years, nutrition and obesity research – in studying ALL types of diets – has continued to conclude that almost any hypocaloric diet that is not completely “moronic” can work, at least in the short term.

It’s not so much about the high carb – low carb argument or any other debate as much as it is about calorie control and compliance. The trouble is, restricted diets and staying in a calorie deficit is difficult, so most people can’t stick with any program and they fall off the wagon, whichever wagon that may be.

I believe that a lot of our attention needs to shift away from pointless debates (for example, low carb vs. high carb is getting really old… so like… get over it everyone, its a calorie deficit that makes you lose weight, not the amount of carbs).

Instead, our focus should shift towards these questions:

* How can we build an eating program that we can enjoy while still getting us leaner and healthier?

* How can we build an eating program that helps us control calories?

* How can we build an eating program that improves compliance?

Here’s one good answer: Eat a wide variety of high nutrient density, low calorie density foods that you enjoy which still fit within healthy, fat-burning, muscle-building guidelines!

Here are the lists of foods I choose to achieve these three outcomes. This eating plan is not difficult to stick with at all, by the way. I enjoy eating like this and it feels almost weird not to eat like this after doing it for so long.

Remember, habits work in both directions, and as motivational speaker Jim Rohn has said, “Bad habits are easy to form and hard to live with and good habits are hard to form but easy to live with.”

These are listed in the order I frequently consume them. So for example, if oatmeal is on the top of the list, it means that is the food I am most likely to eat every single day.

My 10 top natural starchy carb and whole grains

1. Oatmeal (old fashioned)
2. Yams
3. Brown rice (a favorite is basmati, a long grain aromatic rice)
4. Sweet potatoes (almost same as yams)
5. Multi grain hot cereal (mix or barley, oats, rye. titricale and a few others)
6. White potatoes
7. 100% whole wheat bread
8. 100% whole wheat pasta
9. Beans (great for healthy chili recipes)
10. Cream of rice hot cereal

My Top 10 top vegetables

1. Broccoli
2. Asparagus
3. Spinach
4. Salad greens
5. Tomatoes
6. Peppers (green, red or yellow)
7. Onions
8. Mushrooms
9. Cucumbers
10. Zucchini

My top 10 lean proteins

1. Egg whites (whole eggs in limited quantities)
2. Whey or Casein protein (protein powder supplements)
3. Chicken Breast
4. Salmon (wild Alaskan)
5. Turkey Breast
6. Top round steak (grass fed beef)
7. Flank Steak (grass fed beef)
8. Lean Ground Turkey
9. Bison/Buffalo
10. Trout

My top 10 fruits

1. Grapefruit
2. Apples
3. Blueberries
4. Canteloupe
5. Oranges
6. Bananas
7. Peaches
8. Grapes
9. Strawberries
10. Pineapple

Note: I DO include healthy fats as well, such as walnuts, almonds, extra virgin olive oil, flaxseeds, flaxseed oil (supplement – not to cook with), avocado and a few others.

Also, I do eat dairy products and have nothing against them, nor am I lactose intolerant. I simply don’t eat as much dairy as the rest of the stuff on my lists. When I eat dairy, its usually skim milk, low or non fat cottage cheese, low or non fat yogurt and low or non fat cheese (great for omelettes).

Last but not least, I usually follow a compliance rate of about 95%, which means I take two or three meals per week of whatever I want (stuff that is NOT on these lists – like pizza, sushi, big fatty restaurant steaks, etc)

I hope you found this helpful and interesting. Keep in mind, this is MY food list, and although you probably couldn’t go wrong to emulate it, you need to choose natural foods you enjoy in order to develop habits you can stick with long term. In the fruits and vegetables categories alone, there are hundreds of other choices out there, so enjoy them all!

As a general rule, you should always choose whole natural foods over shakes and bars when given a choice. The powdered (MRP) drink mixes (such as Met-RX, Myoplex, or Rx-fuel) are better than the bars because they are very low in fat and they are sweetened with Aspartame (no calories) instead of refined sugar (lots of empty calories).

MRP powders are also high in protein, with 37-50 grams per serving. If a bar is all you can manage because you are at work or on the run, then you should scrutinize the labels carefully and make the best choice possible.

There are a few things you should look out for in an MRP bar. First and foremost, check the sugar content. The problem with virtually all of the bars is that they can’t manufacture one that tastes good without using a lot of refined sugars. Don’t just look at the “Nutrition Facts” panel; the sugar listing can be deceiving.

The grams of sugar doesn’t distinguish between sugars that are naturally occurring and those that are refined. Looking at the ingredient list is more informative. FDA labeling laws require that all ingredients be listed in order of the quantity used. If refined sugars are the first or second ingredient, it is not a good choice.

The refined sugars, Sucrose, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, brown rice syrup and chocolate are frequently found high on the list. A typical bar might list protein powder (such as whey isolate) as the first ingredient and corn syrup as the second ingredient. Don’t be surprised if some so-called “nutrition bars” list sugar or corn syrup as the first ingredient. Many bars are nothing more than ordinary candy bars with protein powder added in. You might as well have a Snickers!

Another ingredient to be on the lookout for is saturated fat. Many bars have moderate amounts of fat, (4-8 grams per bar). The total fat grams, however, is not as important as the type of fat used. Some bars derive their fat from peanut butter, which is fine in small amounts.

Unfortunately, others use hydrogenated oils and tropical oils such as coconut oil or palm kernel oil. These are the “bad fats” that have been implicated in heart disease and cancer. Watch out for those 40-30-30 bars – they are notorious for this. There is nothing magical about the 40-30-30 ratios just because a best-selling book says so. One popular brand of 40-30-30 bars lists soy protein as the first ingredient, corn syrup as the second and fractionated palm kernel oil as the third.

These companies are really taking advantage of the public’s naivete by calling these “health food” or “nutrition bars.” If you think you’re eating some magical combination of nutrients, think again – what you’re really eating is empty sugar calories and saturated, artery-clogging fat!

When choosing a bar you should also look at the total calories and the carb to protein ratio. There are several different types of bars available, including energy bars, protein bars and meal replacement bars. The ratio of nutrients in each type can vary greatly. Your best bet is to choose one with a substantial amount of protein (30 grams of protein, preferably whey, is good for a bar).

A meal replacement bar is usually around 300 calories with a ratio of one part protein to two parts carbs. If you’re on a fat reducing program, then you may want to choose a protein bar with the opposite ratio: Two parts protein to one part carbs. Other bars are marketed as “energy bars” because they are primarily carbohydrates.

An example of a meal replacement bar is the original Met-Rx “Food bar.” They contain 320 calories, 48 grams of carbs and 27 grams of protein (a pretty good ratio for a meal replacement). But let’s examine where the carbs come from: On the ingredients list, Metamyosin (Met-Rx’s proprietary whey, milk and egg protein blend) is the first ingredient.

So far, so good. But look at the second ingredient: Corn syrup (sugar!) What’s the third ingredient? High fructose corn syrup (read: more sugar!) So the second and third ingredients are refined sugar. Not exactly diet food is it?

Protein bars such as “Pure Protein” by Worldwide Nutrition are immensely popular these days because so many people are on low carb or reduced carb diets. The bad thing about the “Pure Protein” bars is that most are coated with real chocolate (yes, the same stuff a Hershey’s bar is made of). Others are coated with Yogurt (a slight improvement.)

The good thing about “Pure Protein” is that with 280 calories, 31 grams of protein, 16 grams of carbs and 4 grams of fat, the calories and ratios of nutrients are good for a fat loss program. And the total carbs and sugars are low. Also, it’s a convenient way to get 31 grams of whey protein.

Power bars are energy bars that were designed with endurance athletes in mind. Power bars contain about 80% of the calories from carbs, 20% from protein and minimal fat. An endurance athlete’s diet is very high in carbs, as much as 60% or more of total calories. That makes the Power Bar a decent energy food for endurance athletes in intense training.

Unfortunately, the Power Bar has the same problem as many other bars – it’s mostly sugar. Maltodextrin, an excellent source of Complex carbohydrate, is the second ingredient, but the first ingredient is – you guessed it – high fructose corn syrup. You’ll probably burn all those carbs up if you’re extremely active, but these are not the greatest for a fat reducing program and they’re skimpy on the protein. If you need the carbs, why not just have a piece of fruit instead?

Some of the newest brands of MRP and protein bars have gotten around the refined sugar and saturated fat problem by using fake fats such as Salatrim and artificial sweeteners such as Acesulfame Potassium. When most of the refined sugars and saturated fats are removed, using fake fats and artificial sweeteners is the only way left to make the bars palatable.

There is an ongoing debate about the safety of artificial sweeteners and fake fats. The Center for Science in the Public Interest rates Acesulfame Potassium as one of the top ten worst food additives, because tests showed that it caused cancer in animals. It is important to note however, that these tests involved giving laboratory rats hundreds of times the amount that humans would normally ingest in a day.

Furthermore, the Food & Drug administration (FDA) categorizes it as generally recognized as safe (GRAS), a classification for all food additives that are considered harmless. The American Dietetic Association (ADA) also approves of fake fats and artificial sweeteners including Aspartame and Acesulfame K. The ADA’s position statement on “fake” fats says “Fat replacers may offer a safe, feasible and effective means to maintain the palatability of diets with controlled amounts of fat and/or energy.”

The ADA’s position statement on artificial sweeteners says, “It is the position of the ADA that consumers can safely enjoy a range of nutritive and non-nutritive sweeteners when consumed in moderation and within the context of a diet consistent with the Dietary guidelines for Americans.” Probably the best advice is to just do like the ADA (and your mother) told you and partake of all things, including artificial sweeteners, in moderation.

The new Met-Rx “Protein Plus” bar is one of the new breed of bars that uses artificial sweeteners and fake fats. Let’s take a look at what’s in them: The “Protein Plus” bar contains 300 calories and only 15 grams of carbs. The first ingredient is “Metamyosin” protein. With 32 grams, there’s probably no easier way to get a whole meal’s worth of high quality complete protein when you’re in a hurry.

The second ingredient is a “faux” chocolate coating that includes Maltitol, Salatrim, peanut butter and Acesulfame Potassium. Maltitol is a “sugar alcohol” that is used as a sweetener. It has half the caloric value of sucrose because it is not completely absorbed by the body.

The FDA classifies it as GRAS. Salatrim is a reduced calorie fat developed by Nabisco that has only 5 calories per gram as opposed to 9 calories in conventional fats. Salatrim is used in both solid and liquid forms in snacks, cookies, dairy products, (and now protein bars).

The third ingredient is Glycerine, a crystalline, viscous liquid formed when fat molecules split. It is half as sweet as sugar and is used to keep baked goods, jelly beans and marshmallows moist and to plasticize foods such as fudge, chewing gum, gelatin, cheese, etc. Glycerine is GRAS.

Additional ingredients in the bar include peanut flour, polydextrose (a bulking agent with only 1 calorie per gram), natural flavors, malt barley syrup and peanut butter. Clocking in with 8 grams of fat, or about 24% of the total calories, the Protein Plus bar is not exactly low fat, but the fat is not saturated and the total calories in the bar are not excessive.

Source One bars, also by Met-Rx, are similar, with the protein blend as the first ingredient, Salatrim the second, and cocoa the third. The only difference is the Source One Bar has only 190 calories with 30 grams of carbs and 15 grams of protein. That makes it a decent snack for people on a reduced calorie diet.

All things considered, if you are concerned with staying lean and muscular, then you’re better off with bars that use artificial sweeteners and fat replacers than ones loaded with corn sweetener (refined sugar) and palm kernel oil (saturated fat). No bars are “excellent” nutrition-wise, but some are definitely better than others.

My advice is to read the labels carefully and choose one that is low in calories and refined sugars, uses no saturated fats and has a good protein to carb ratio. Always stick with whole foods whenever possible and make the powdered MRP shakes your second choice. Don’t make it a habit to eat bars regularly – use them for convenience only. But remember, you have to eat something every 3 or 4 hours for a muscle-building or fat reducing diet to work, so if you have no other alternative, a bar might be the only way to get your fill of protein in a pinch.
