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.

Sincerely,

Greg

REASON #1: NOT ENOUGH FOCUS ON TOTAL CALORIES BURNED

REASON #2: TOO MUCH FOCUS ON WHAT TYPE OF CALORIES BURNED

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.

About the Author:

You’ve probably seen the advertisements:

“Drink wu long tea and lose a jeans size every 7 days!”…

“Burn 20 lbs of fat in 30 days with wu long tea!” …

Maybe you even watched Oprah a few years ago when Dr. Perricone said that switching your coffee for green tea would help you take off the pounds.

You may have also read or watched countless news stories which say how healthy it is to drink green tea.

The odds are good that if you’re interested in improving your health and losing fat, you probably either drink tea, take a green tea supplement or you’ve at least thought about it.

But what if I told you that most of the fat reducing claims for green tea were absolute, total BS, based on misinterpretation or deliberate misreporting of the research?

Unfortunately, it’s true. If you’ve bought green tea based on the claim that it causes large reductions in body fat, then you have been scammed.

Here are the facts:

Green tea DOES stimulate your metabolism.

However, the research is very unclear about what kind of impact this small, short term increase in metabolism will have on your bodyweight in the long term.

In the most often quoted study (Dulloo, 1999), A swiss research team found that 270 mg of green tea extract 3X a day increased metabolic rate by the equivalent of about 79 calories on average and increased the oxidation of fat as the fuel source.

If you do the math, it appears that 79 kcal a day would add up to an extra pound of fat lost every 44 days. Not much, but you’ll take it, right? Hypothetically, that would add up to an extra 8 pounds lost per year.

What advertisements quoting this study don’t tell you is that this and other similar studies did not even measure long term change in body fat percentage or bodyweight. They only measured a 24- hour increase in energy expenditure.

One study which is used as marketing ammunition to claim that wu long tea burns 2.5 times more fat than green tea was based only on a 120-minute increase in energy expenditure! (reminds me of that Mark Twain quote: “There are lies, damned lies, and then there are statistics.”)

Numerous follow up studies have confirmed the short term increase in metabolism, but the studies are mixed on whether green tea improves weight reduction or maintenance in the long term.

The research IS compelling, but not conclusive.

As for ad claims that say you’ll lose a lot of weight just from drinking green tea… absolute BS! Hopefully the Federal Trade Commission will catch up with these scammers sooner rather than later, as the marketing messages on the Internet are getting louder and bolder every day.

As for health benefits – green tea is certainly a champ. It’s high in antioxidants and there are more than 2,000 research citations about potential health benefits of green tea (not to mention a 5,000 year history of use in China and the far east).

Even if you’re a skeptic, green tea is hard not to like and it’s hard to dispute that it’s a good idea to add green tea to your nutrition program as one part of a well-balanced fitness lifestyle.

But when it comes to claims for large and rapid losses in bodyweight and bodyfat, (especially the wu long tea ads that are currently all over the internet), buyer beware.

The science we do have says that the thermogenic effect of green tea – while very real – is also very small.

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??????

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!

Cardio exercise is such a strange thing. In theory, it should work
so perfectly well for all men and women, but as anyone who has
tried it knows, the practicality of it just doesn’t add up.

After all, some men and women do cardio 6 hours, 9 hours, or more per week, and still have belly fat to burn. On the other hand, it works just fine for others.

British researchers wanted to get more insight into this paradox, and studied 35 overweight men and women, who weren’t previously exercising.

(Reference: International Journal of Obesity 32: 177-184, 2008).

Subjects exercised 5 times per week for 12 weeks. That’s a lot of
exercise, but it helped the subjects lose an average of 8.2 pounds, which is great – I was positively surprised by the results.

So cardio will work for some people, however, in my experience, it works best in young men, who need the help the least!

Back to the study, the variance in fat loss between individuals was huge. Check this out…

The best subject lost a staggering 32.3 pounds in 12 weeks, while the worst subject actually GAINED 3.74 pounds.

The scientists think they know where things went sour. They
classified the subjects into 2 groups, called the “Compensators”
and the “Non-compensators”.

The Compensators were hungrier, and as a result consumed an extra 268 calories per day, all but wiping out their cardio efforts.

Therefore, the Compensators lost the least amount of weight, and scientists believe that was due to the huge “compensatory” increase in appetite experienced by this group.

Does your appetite increase when you do slow cardio? If it does,
research shows it will ruin your cardio efforts.

So if your cardio program is not working for you, check your
appetite and calorie intake to see if you are “compensating” for
your efforts. If you are, you might be better off using a program
of high-intensity resistance and interval training (i.e. Turbulence Training) for your weight loss efforts.

As Australian Professor Steve Boucher has shown in research,
interval training increases hormones called catecholamines. And
increased catecholamines can reduce appetite, among other fat-
burning benefits.

In the real world, few people lose 33 pounds after 12 weeks of
cardio. Heck, few even achieve an average weight loss of 8 pounds with aerobic exercise.

So again, check your appetite, and consider giving high-intensity
exercise a go for your next workout program.

Beat the curse of cardio with high-intensity Turbulence Training.
