The Advocates Of The "Tom Venuto Fat Loss Plan"
On the sales page there must be something like twenty testimonials. I've picked out the ones I believe are the most impressive. Of course these are the first ones on the sales page!
When I started Tom's Burn The Fat diet program in January, I weighed 317 pounds. As of Dec. 1st, I weigh 226 lbs. 91 pounds of fat gone forever is a pretty cool thing! And by the way... I turned 40 this year, so if anyone out there is thinking that you are "too old" - think again.
Chris Brooke,
Marietta, GA
When I started the program in September, I was 248 pounds with 24% bodyfat. With Tom's information, I have been able to lose 43 pounds - all of it fat. My Body fat is now 12%. I also no longer spend $400 a month on supplements.
Jerry McBride,

I bought Burn The Fat last October and I'm now so low in body fat you can see the striations. I've often been lean in the past, but never like this. This is Brad Pitt in Fight Club low! I have a hip-bone skinfold pinch of 2.0 mm, which on the accumeasure chart = 4.5% body fat. I couldn't be more pleased.

Burn The Fat Feed the Muscle (BFFM) has changed my life. I have lost 3 dress sizes in 4 months and feel better than ever before. I now have my husband on the program. If we can do it with 4 kids and full time jobs -- anyone can.

So... Tom Venuto, Fat Loss Master Or Total Scammer?
Some people have called "Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle" the "Fat Loss Bible". Personally, I consider this one of the best investments I've ever made.Yes, if you read through the sales page, you might think this is "hype condemning hype". I remember thinking that. But everybody does it. Bullet points and exclamation marks just sell. Can't blame the guy. You have to see beyond all that and ask yourself "Will this product live up to all this?" It did for me.
Maybe you've heard the saying "Abs are made in the kitchen." No workout in the world will make you any leaner if you eat like crap. You need to get your nutrition together if you want to lose body fat. And this is where "Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle" delivers. In fact, eighty percent of this program is about nutrition. It puts together a very solid eating plan, all laid out in simple terms.
Of course, exercise is also covered. The last two chapters are dedicated to cardio and weight training. Recommendations and guidelines are given, as well as 4 sample weight training programs. But you can totally follow your own routine if you want. In fact, I strongly suggest you experiment with your training and find out what works best for you.
All in all, I highly recommend this. Whether you're a total beginner in the fitness domain or a hardcore bodybuilder, I believe this book will help you get where you want to be. And the price is VERY reasonable for such an amount of information.
This is not another "Lose 30 pounds in 30 days eating nothing but cake" gimmick. But this program will work for you if you work for it. Heck, it's guaranteed. As in "8-WEEK, NO-RISK, UNCONDITIONAL 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE" guaranteed. So you really have nothing to lose.
