Video Tour of Tom Venuto’s Kitchen
August 16, 2008
Have you ever wondered what a fat loss
expert and bodybuilder like Tom Venuto
has in his kitchen?
Does he have ice cream hidden in his
freezer? 
What’s in his kitchen cupboards?
What appliances does Tom use to create
his tasty (and waist-line friendly)
‘Burn The Fat-Approved’ Recipes?
‘Chef Venuto’ recently allowed filmaker Steve
Yu into his kitchen and this rare, impromptu
video tour will give you an insider’s peek
into the culinary world of Tom Venuto (who
by the way claims to be a “Kitchen Dummy.”)
Video Tour of Tom Venuto’s Kitchen
Tom and his Site Manager Kyle Battis have
added this video the FREE PREVIEW section
of the Inner Circle so that members and
Non-members alike can take advantage of
this raid of Tom’s kitchen.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy this video!
To your success,
Greg
PS – Addendum: Tom mentioned on the forums
that since this was a spur of the moment,
unrehearsed video tour that he forgot to
mention some stuff: If you notice carefully
next to the knives, Tom has a digital scale
for weighing food and on top of microwave #2,
he has a George Foreman Grill.
PPS – Is it just me, or is his refrigerator
WAY too neat and clean?

Got something to say?
Is it ok to put natural peanut butter under the protein list or not? I really like peanut butter. Someone told me the other day that peanuts are a legume and very hard to digest so stay away from peanuts and peanut butter. What do you have to say about that? Thanks. Also what do you have to say about the roasted almost and pumpkin flax Kashi bars that are all natural because I eat those all the time. Is that ok or should I substitute that with something. I eat them alot as I am on the run many daysand just have one or two. Thanks My goal by the way is fat loss. Thanks.
Chris,
Those are great questions and I have to tell you that I love peanut butter also. I eat it when I feel my body needs a quick protein boost. It’s great with carrots and also celery.
That said, It is high in fat and calories and some “dieters will tell you not to eat it.
I wouldn’t worry too much about it being hard to digest.
So should peanut butter be stricken off of your list?
No. Like I said, just a little bit of peanut butter provides a burst of nutritional values that goes a long way. A couple of tablespoons of peanut butter which is equivalent toe about 200 calories. That’s about the size of a golf ball,
Some opt for reduced fat peanut butters. However, reduced fat peanut butter generally only offers a 10 calorie per serving difference which is not very much when it comes to calorie savings. You may want to try ” WHIPPED” peanut butter which contains about 140 calories per 2 Tablespoons..
On the Kashi bars, I have to tell you that natural is always best,. However since I haven’t read the labels on the pumpkin flax bars I am not sure if there are any added ingredients. Pumpkin and flax seeds are highly recommended.
I checked Tom Venuto’s achieves and found a couple of related articles. Hope these help.

Hi Chris,
It looks to me as if the Kashi Seven Whole Grains & Sesame® Blend bars are pretty good.. I especially like the word “whole at the beginning. I also noticed that there is only one carbohydrate.
*Other things to consider are the amount of protein it contains- , the higher the better
*The amount of salt- the lower the better
*and of course, how many calories on in it- the lower the better
Reading labels has almost become a science and your entry prompted me to post a small article on how to read bread labels.Even though it’s not particularly related to kashi bars, it should prove to be helpful.
