There are so many e-books on the internet written by anyone who think they know a thing or two about losing weight and getting fit. Well, ‘Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle’ is not one of them. Tom Venuto has written this book after a lot of research, experience and experimentation. Here is a quick summary.
The book starts off with giving you a bit of introduction to our body’s physiology and how exactly it works. He talks about food, their types, hormones, what to eat, when to eat and how much to eat. Once you have enough knowledge about the misconceptions and the dos and don’ts, he then starts discussing the ‘Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle’ program. He talks about different techniques of how to diet e.g. carbohydrate cycling, zig zag, portion control etc. He also tells us how to calculate calorie requirements, distributions, fat measurement etc. in great detail. After he completes the theoretical area, he moves on to explaining the program with examples.
‘Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle’ is actually a three phased plan (one month per phase). In the first phase, your aim is to build muscle. Here you eat a high carbohydrates, high protein and low fat diet. The purpose is to build muscle, which uses more calories than fat. So in the later phases, you will get fast results. After a month, when you have developed enough muscle, you then lower your carbohydrate levels and increase you fat intake. At this point, you start introducing a bit of cardio to your program. Finally, the last phase, where most of your diet consists of fat, then protein and the left over is a very low amount of carbohydrates.
There is a sample diet and exercise plan and if you are an aver 175 lbs. man how stands at 5 feet 10 inches, then you can just follow the sample plan and you will get great results.
Now comes the dirty part. I pointed out, that this is a great program and you will get great results, but as far as the reading goes. If you just want to be told what to do, then you will lose interest very quickly, as Tom goes into a lot of detail behind the science of everything, things can get a bit boring. It’s best to read it when you are on the toilet and have nothing better to do…*wink*.
