Synopsis (from web-site)
The Body Fat Solution is Tom Venuto’s complete program to lose body fat, build muscle—and keep the weight off for good.
By now, we all know that we gain fat when we take in more calories than we burn. But we’re not always rational creatures when it comes to food. Venuto provides a sound plan that will help us put the brakes on overeating by pinpointing the mental roadblocks and emotional eating patterns that are preventing us from losing weight for good. Guiding readers to dig deeper, The Body Fat Solution explores:
· Why it is so difficult to balance calorie output with input
· What prevents people from eating appropriately and exercising more
· The emotional and psychological factors that sabotage Success
Tom Venuto reminds us that calories do count! But The Body Fat Solution is neither super low carb nor super low fat, and he steers clear of demonizing entire food groups. Instead, Venuto shows how to personalize an eating plan that takes into account your unique metabolism and calorie needs. He then presents workout programs to maximize the success of the diet plan that are fast and efficient, enabling you to quickly achieve your goal of replacing fat with lean muscle.
Tapping into his years of training expertise and personal experience, Venuto helps readers change their relationship with food, empowers them to take charge of their lives, and delivers a program that promises dramatic and permanent results.
Why I read It
The subject interests me and I have a lot of respect for Tom Venuto.
The Good
Good straight forward discussion on why most diets fail, especially over time.
The Bad
Venuto has a extensive and extremely detailed ebook that he has sold for years but I have always been to cheap to buy it. He said in interviews that people sometimes just want to know how to flip a switch and not necessarily all the whys on how it works. This book was written to fill that need so consequently it doesn’t have all the nerdy details. That is more indicative of my own cheapness than the books shortcomings.
The Ugly (my opinion)
Good book providing solid information. Nothing complex and if you were to follow his advice you will see improvement in you body and your health. Tom does a large online presence so you can find numerous articles with a simple Google search. Here are a few podcasts in which he is interviewed – well worth the listen.
