Burn The Fat | An Honest Review

Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle makes some outrageous claims, has a bunch of larger-than-life testimonials, and costs more than your average hardcover book. When scrolling through the (very long) official website, your mind will be racing with questions wondering if it’s a scam or a legitimate program, because you have to admit, the concept behind the program is very intriguing.

It’s getting harder every day to distinguish the legitimate fat loss programs from the ones that are nothing but scams, so…

Before you decide to purchase Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle, let’s put it to the test.

Venuto is a bodybuilder – in fact, his whole system is based on “fat-burning secrets of bodybuilders and fitness models.” Looking at his pictures, you can see that he is beyond good shape, the guy is jacked and six-packed. You’d be tempted to scream “Steroids” except that Venuto says he’s lifetime natural and has competed in drug-tested competitions for more than 20 years.

After a little more research, you’ll find that Burn The Fat was released in 2002 and was the #1 e-book best-seller for 4 years in a row. Most Internet weight loss programs haven’t even been around that long, let alone topped the charts that long. Also, New York City publishers and major magazines like Men’s Fitness don’t give the time of day to fly-by-night Internet marketers, so there’s some credibility.

The claim made by Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle is that bodybuilders and fitness models are the leanest athletes in the world. Venuto himself was 3.7% body fat at one point (note: on the day of a contest). Therefore, says Venuto, if you find out how bodybuilding, fitness and figure competitors get so lean and you do the same thing, you will get the same results. It makes sense. However, there’s no magic solution here.

From reading Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle, you learn that you won’t get 6-pack abs or a body like a fitness model by training a few minutes a day and eating junk. You learn that to get lean you have to change your lifestyle and adopt new habits to replace the old ones that made you fat. You learn that to get “ripped” it takes an even more regimented nutrition program.

When looking at the Burn The Fat website, you’ll see a home page plastered with testimonials from people of all ages. Since it’s impossible to be sure these testimonials/people are real, a little outside research is in order. What you’ll find on a web search is a free discussion forum called the Burn The Fat Facebook group, which has several thousand members who support each other to implement the program. You’ll also find several Burn The Fat Yahoo groups. There is also a paid online support community (sponsored by Venuto), called the Burn The Fat Inner Circle, with thousands of members using the Burn The Fat system. Membership to this site is optional and doesn’t come with the e-book.

With a little more online research, it’s easy to find positive reviews and before and after photos of people who have successful used Burn The Fat to lose weight. You’ll also find some YouTube videos and blogs devoted to chronicling the training journals and nutrition programs of fat burners.

It’s hard to dispute that Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle is one of the most established fat loss programs online. Not only is third party proof all over the Internet, this program has been around since 2002. A program just can’t survive that long on the web if there isn’t good word of mouth. And of course, we know this method has worked for bodybuilders for decades.

Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle is a best seller and there’s proof that it works. But it will probably appeal the most to a certain kind of person. First, it takes effort and a significant time investment. It trades focus, dedication and hard work to get significant, permanent and natural fat loss (as opposed to some rapid fat loss programs where you’re required to take drugs or supplements and where the weight is a lot more likely to come back).

Another thing to know is that the main focus of the e-book is on nutrition, and it requires counting calories and crunching numbers to create menu plans. There’s a lot of value in that kind of precision, but this approach may not be for everyone. Some people prefer to just estimate portion sizes. Burn The Fat is probably ideal for people who need structure, enjoy planning and are detail-oriented (accountants, engineers, math buffs and other analytical types will be in seventh heaven). If you like to know WHY you’re doing something instead of just being told WHAT to do, you’ll appreciate the detail in the 300+ pages. It’s definitely thorough. Encyclopedic even.

If you want a quick fix weight loss solution, if you’re looking for what pill to take or if you’re not willing to exercise, then Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle is probably not for you.

On the other hand, if you’ve tried all the diet trends and fads, if you really want to know the (sometimes uncomfortable) truth about fat loss and if you have the discipline to make lifestyle changes, then you’ll find Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle to be an excellent investment that delivers what it promises – you burn off the fat, you keep your muscle and you don’t have to starve yourself to do it.

It may not be for everyone, but it’s no scam. Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle is legitimate and effective. You can learn more at the official website at http://www.BurnTheFat.com

A Buddy Of Mine Was A Couch Potato

I’ve always been a success, at least in business, but my body didn’t reflect who I really was. My physical condition was bringing my whole life down. I desperately tried to convince myself that I was more than what I looked like – that I was strong, happy, and free. But I wasn’t those things, I was holding on to false hope and an even falser sense of identity. Somewhere, deep inside of me, there was a little voice that kept telling me “I’m more than this.”

There were many times that I got so fed up with myself, that I would try anything that promised to help me lose the weight I’d gained over the years. I was the customer who used to keep the infomercial companies in business.

I tried everything. Supplements, training gadgets and gizmo’s, diets, you name it. I even had a gym membership at one of the nicest health clubs in town at $119 a month. The cold hard truth is that everything I tried only left me feeling worse off than when I started because nothing worked.

I actually enjoyed the gym membership, but every time I went in, I wasn’t sure what to do or expect. I didn’t really have a plan. I just went in to work up a sweat, and that’s all I ever got - sweaty. I blew off some steam, spent some energy, and then went home. At times, I felt a little stronger, and I would even flex in front of the mirror at home, but I knew that I hadn’t changed much at all. I was still FAT. It’s funny looking back – I actually used to reward myself with ice cream after going to the gym, as if I’d earned the right to pig out.

I stopped going to the gym after awhile, fed up with my lack of results, even though I was still locked into paying for it. My weight slowly started to creep up even more. Just when I was about to throw in the towel, one of my buddies recommend that I take a look at this new fat loss program they were on. I ignored the advice, knowing I had been fooled before, but then I began to notice he was losing weight. Every time I saw him again, he looked leaner. Not only was he losing weight, apparently he was actually loving the process too. He couldn’t stop talking about it to everyone, so finally, after a few months I decided to see what all the fuss was about.

I looked up the program, Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle on the internet and bought it late one night. It was a download and I was glad I could read it right away because I wanted to find out quickly if this was another scam or if it could really help me. I felt like this was my last chance to lose the weight, and the last time I would ever let myself be fooled again.

While reading it, I found out that the author, Tom Venuto, was a lifetime natural bodybuilder who has gotten his bodyfat percentage down to less than 4% (After reading the book, I can tell you that anything under 10% bodyfat is like super-lean!). It made sense that a bodybuilder would be one of the best people to go to for advice about fat loss problems. Venuto has had to diet down for over 25 competitions, as it turns out.

I read chapter one that night, which is the goals and motivation chapter. It was at that moment that everything in my life came into perspective – all the failed attempts, all the troubles. I realized that my mind was working against me – my own negative thoughts were preventing me from achieving my goals. Actually, I didn’t even have goals until I was done reading the first chapter. I needed to rewire my thoughts before I could even think about changing my actions.

I went to bed that night with a completely different perspective, and I already had a plan for the next day. I finished the rest of the book that week, and my life hasn’t been the same since. To say that my body has changed would be an understatement, because my entire LIFE has changed. I’m enjoying things today I thought I would never experience again. I go hiking and boating in the summertime. I take off my shirt on the basketball court without a second thought! I look and feel better than I ever have.

There was a little bit of a learning curve and some number-crunching in the beginning, but as I learned more about nutrition and tried new recipes, it got easier as I went along. The best part of this program is that it takes you by the hand, and leads you one step at a time – baby steps. I didn’t do anything crazy or drastic. Just small adjustments, and those old habits that were changing began to add up.

This program really isn’t a diet, it’s a new way of living, and I was eating way more than I had on any diet I had been on before. I think the discipline you need to follow this program in the beginning was the real wake up call for me. It made me realize I was blaming my condition on everything but myself and I had actually been lazy in the past, always looking for a quick fix.

There are a lot of garbage diet programs out there. I should know because I’ve tried them all. Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle really worked for me, and I would recommend it for anyone who has been struggling to lose weight for a long time without any success. I lost 63 pounds, but some people have lost more than 100 pounds and one guy lost 218 pounds.
