Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle is an exclusive E-Book authored by Tom Venuto. It is a complete and thorough manual on how to lose fat fast. Tom is a winner of International Natural ( i.e. no steroids or chemicals of any kind) Bodybuilding Contests and an accomplished trainer,coach and consultant in the Fitness field. Tom took his years of experience and results and compiled the most complete single source reference guide on how to naturally and permanently lose body fat I have found commercially available. If you have ever asked or thought “help me lose weight” you need to read this book!
I am reviewing and giving Tom Venuto’s work a “Best” rating with four key reasons in mind:
- It worked for me! If you read the “about” page on my blog you know I struggled with being fat for the majority of my life ( 30+ yrs. of fighting the Fat gremlins). As an information & knowledge junkie, when I hit 250lbs. or so on my 5’11″ body, I put the knowledge I had collected into a game plan that began to work for me . I ultimately stalled at around 205 to 210 lbs. It was adding what I learned from Tom’s book that jump started my own fat loss. For several years now I have hovered at 182 lbs. plus or minus 2lbs.(update,now at 174 lbs. & holding). Bear in mind that along the way in those 30+ yrs. of dieting, I tried it all! My conclusion, there is no magic bullet or pill, no “Miracle Diet“, just sound science of how the body works. Burn the Fat Feed The Muscle mirrors my own findings, no drugs,real science, a little bit of work and focus, equals real results!
- Where as there are five or six other programs that I would give a “Good” rating to, none are as comprehensive and fine tunable to the unique individual physiology as Tom’s book. My own experience is that until you understand how our blood sugar level effects fat loss and fat storage , you will never permanently succeed. How and Which foods effect the body is critical to success. Not all bodies and metabolism’s are the same, knowing what is right for you will dramatically speed up the results. Burn The Fat goes into great and thorough detail here, so you don’t have to read seven or eight medical/biology textbooks ( as I did ).
- Exercise. Why do I bring this up? I know from experience that one does not have to exercise to lose body fat, however, it will greatly enhance your results and provides multiple improvements to your overall health and well being. Tom’s book explains this well and outlines multiple different strategies depending on the individuals interest and time constraints. The key here is that you don’t have to aspire to being a bodybuilder, you tailor your own program. Should bodybuilding be of interest, this book will show you how to achieve maximum gains and how to reach a competitive “ripped” (i.e. low body fat level) appearance.
- Coaching and support. I also know from experiance that focus and will power can be difficult masters to serve. Included with Burn The Fat & Feed The Muscle is a trial membership in Tom Vanutos “Inner Circle“. This is a hands on coaching resource. Direct access to the training staff, online Q&A,personal coaching and a members forum. This feature alone merits a “Best” rating. Other programs have nothing as comprehensive as this. How much easier do you feel it would be to stay the course on your weight loss program with a support team there to help you with your will power and focus?
This book is extremely comprehensive, for some it might even be considered “over the top”. The primary book included with the product is 341 pages, the first 270 of those pages deal with nutrition and how & why the body works as it does in relation to fat loss (or fat storage). It also includes a very well laid out tutorial on goal setting. Having spent 35 years in business management myself, not only will this aid in your fat loss success, it can be helpful in changing all aspects of your life! It is also noted that the author spends time educating on why all bodies and metabolism’s were not created the same. What is correct nutrition for one, is not for another. It is precisely the detailed information contained in the first 270 pages that make this program the “Gold” standard of fat loss programs.
So what is the bad or downside of Burn The Fat? The fact that is so comprehensive might be intimidating or daunting to some folks. Also the fact that the author never sugar coats anything. Tom Venuto is clear in his opinion that there is no magic pills or lose weight while doing nothing. This program is all about focus,work and study. For that reason this product is not well suited to the casual dieter who only desires to lose a few pounds here and there, with minimal effort. There are 3 or 4 more simple programs I have examined that are easy reads and give enough accurate nutrition guidelines to be be helpful for them. The author is a renowned bodybuilder, as such he makes references to bodybuilders and what they do to prepare their bodies for competition, the low percentage body fat “get ripped” appearance. Where as this work can be viewed as a “bible” for bodybuilders, the good news is that the principles are the same for those of us who simply desire healthful, energetic and lean bodies.
A suggestion to help you succeed with this program: Read my post “Help Me Lose Weight“, incorporate that game plan into your lifestyle while digesting the info in Burn The Fat. By the time you are ready to initiate the program you design, you will already have created some of the habits required. You also should expect to have already seen some results in lowering your fat content. Not much better motivator than results you can see and measure! It will feel far less overwhelming than feeling you have to cram all the info in your brain at once. My own observation, permanent body change is a journey, not a weekend jaunt. Enjoy the process and the journey.
Who is this book for? Absolutely anyone who is serious about fat loss,their body composition, how they look and feel and or their overall health and well being. The only folks this program isn’t for are those who are not committed to permanent, long term success.
To help illustrate just how complete and thorough this program is, here is a shortened highlight list of what is included:
- Why 95% of all diets fail…and the exact, detailed steps you must take to be in the successful 5% (and stay there!) • Why it’s physiologically impossible for conventional diets to ever work…unless you know this one simple trick! It’s a metabolism-saver for chronic dieters and it’s one of the first things the author would teach you if he coached you in person
- The twelve worst foods you should never eat
- The twelve best foods you should eat all the time
- Why dieting below your critical calorie level can wreck your metabolism and actually make you fatter! (and how to know when you’re in the danger zone)…also, the precise calculations for your optimal calorie level
- How to eat 50% more calories without storing an ounce as fat – It’s true -you can actually eat more food while losing more fat if you use this simple, but often overlooked strategy!
- The #1 reason why most people can’t drop the last 10 lbs of ab flab and how you can lose it with ease…and (if you want to), go even further and get “ripped” and rock-hard like a bodybuilder or fitness model
- Important lessons you can learn from the Zone and Atkins diet…including the hidden reason why most people fail on both diets in the long run
- The one food combination you should NEVER, EVER eat – break this rule and you’re guaranteed to pack on lumps of ugly fat so fast you’ll wonder what hit you! (and almost every body’s doing it!)
- Which body type classification you are and how to eat right for your body type (if you’re eating wrong for your body type you can forget about losing any fat no matter how hard you train or how strictly you diet)
- The #1 most effective way to burn body fat ever (If you could only make ONE change to your current diet program, this would be it!)
- 7 strategies to make sure your body never goes into “starvation mode” and the ONE THING you must do IMMEDIATELY if you suspect it’s already happened
- The three critical factors that determine whether you’ll lose muscle while dieting…and how the slightest nutritional “tweak” can guarantee you keep every ounce of lean muscle mass while you quickly drop the fat
- Dozens of the best-kept fat burning secrets of bodybuilders and fitness models that almost NOBODY knows about…compiled by a 14-year, rare study of the most “ripped” athletes on earth
- What to do when you’ve tried everything and the stubborn fat still won’t come off (this is one of the little-known tactics bodybuilders and fitness models use in the final weeks before competitions)
- Secrets of meal frequency and timing that will amplify your body’s natural rate of calorie-burning (There’s a lot more to it than just eating small, frequent meals)
- How a “new spin” on the old low carb diet can increase your rate of fat loss to the maximum possible without muscle loss or metabolic downgrade
- Why you will almost ALWAYS fail to keep the fat off if you use a conventional low carbohydrate diet – If you’ve failed on low carb diets before, this is the reason why
- The truth about how much cardio you REALLY need to lose the fat and the best times to do it for maximum impact
- Not one, but FOUR weight training programs designed to fit your schedule and experience level – plus a “conservative” routine for “time-crunched” people who can’t train as often as they’d like to
And that’s just a tiny fraction of what you’ll learn in this information-packed “bible” to a leaner, more muscular body.
This book comes with an iron-clad money back guarantee and it’s easy to order. Best of all, because it’s finally available as an instantly down loadable e-book, you can get started within the next 10 minutes and begin seeing and feeling results immediately.

My conclusion is that I have not read a more thorough “all in one source” manuscript on the subject of fat loss and changing body composition. I found no contradictions in the theory or science presented. I know from my own personal fat loss journey that this is indeed the “Gold” standard of fat loss programs. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone serious about changing their body and or lifestyle. You have nothing to lose but some of your time and your body fat. This is how to lose fat fast and the answer to your plea, “help me lose weight”. To your success, Grant C. P.S.
