Liquid Calories Vs. Solid Calories And Fat Loss
By Tom Venuto
Liquid Calories Vs. Solid Calories And Fat Loss You may have read articles that said "liquid calories can make you fat!" But protein shakes, meal replacements and sports drinks are liquid calories and they're consumed en masse by weight conscious people including athletes. Why then, do so many people say that whole food is better? And why do so many people say they get leaner when they cut back on liquid calories? Some people theorize that it's the thermic effect of whole food versus liquids that makes the biggest difference. Is it that simple or are there other factors involved? Read on and find out what research has revealed about liquid and solid calories and how it impacts your fat loss results . . . keep reading
Egg White Protein Vs. Whey Protein Vs. Soy Protein: Which One Wins In a 3-Way Showdown?
By Tom Venuto
Egg White Protein Vs. Whey Protein Vs. Soy Protein: Which One Wins In a 3-Way Showdown? Egg whites are a staple food in the bodybuilding, physique and figure athlete world. Some bodybuilding trainers and nutritionists even claim that it's better than whey protein and that both egg white and whey protein blow soy out of the water. But gym lore and bodybuilding tradition has often turned out to be wrong (or just plain overkill), so what does the science say? Is there any reason that egg white is the superior protein for leaning out and building muscle? Read on to find out... . . . keep reading

By Brian Nordberg

The New Body Typing: How Do You Know If You're Carb Tolerant or Carb Intolerant?
By Tom Venuto
The New Body Typing: How Do You Know If You're Carb Tolerant or Carb Intolerant? Trying to make sense of all the various diet program claims today is enough to make your head explode. A large number of programs focus on the amount of carbohydrate allowed. Many weight loss diets recommend low carbs, others are more balanced with medium carbs and some recommend high carbs. Most people have finally come to believe and accept that there's no one diet that is ideal for everyone and that you have to customize according to your body type. If that's true, then the million dollar question is: How do you know if you're the low carb type or the high carb type? (includes MP3/Podcast) . . . keep reading
Does Plant Protein Count Toward Your Total Daily Protein Intake?
By Tom Venuto
Does Plant Protein Count Toward Your Total Daily Protein Intake? When strength athletes and fitness fanatics think of protein foods, they usually think of eggs, chicken, fish and other "complete" protein foods that contain all the essential amino acids in the ideal amounts and ratios for muscle growth. But there's protein in plant foods too... the question is, does this "incomplete" protein count toward your daily protein target or do you need to "beef up" your protein intake if you're eating a lot of plant-based proteins? (Includes MP3/Podcast) . . . . keep reading

By Tom Venuto
Should You Take Branched-Chain-Amino-Acid (BCAA) Supplements Before Your Workouts? Branched Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) supplements are getting very popular in bodybuilding and sports nutrition... You may have read articles or ads which said that BCAA's are special because they're metabolized in your muscle tissue and that the BCAA leucine is an anabolic trigger! BCAA's are reputed to increase protein synthesis, boost immune response, improve recovery and prevent muscle loss. Should you be taking BCAA before your workouts or is all the hype too good to be true? . . . keep reading

By Tom Venuto

You may have heard this line from a low carb advocate at some point in your dieting career and you may not have believed it. Technically speaking, it's actually true.

Bad stuff can happen to you if you eliminate carbs... read on to find out why - even if you use low carb diets - you should never cut out all your carbs - there's a certain amount you need to gain the benefits and avoid the "bad stuff"... . . . keep reading

By Tom Venuto
Debunking an Internet Hoax: What Science Really Says About Microwave Ovens, Your Food and Your Health If you've ever surfed the internet for information on health and nutrition, there's little doubt you've come across scare stories about microwaves.

The French Paradox: How do Parisians Drink Wine, Eat Cheese, Indulge In Rich, Fatty Food, And Stay Lean?
By Tom Venuto
The French Paradox: How do Parisians Drink Wine, Eat Cheese, Indulge In Rich, Fatty Food, And Stay Lean? QUESTION: I was reading an article about the debate over fruit and fat loss. I heard that if you combine fruit with a small portion of cheese, the cheese will slow down or decrease the fructose absorption. I remember reading that the French have a lot of cheese and fruit in their diets (not to mention wine), but you rarely see an overweight French person. I think there are even some books about how the French don't get fat. Can you comment on the validity of this? . . . keep reading

 TESTIMONIALS

Here's what people are saying about Burn The Fat and the Inner Circle...


"Tom Venuto is a credible, qualified professional who knows his stuff. More than that, he has a genuine concern for the people he's helping. His "Inner Circle" is a premier quality resource - well worth the money, and a benefit to anyone, anywhere, of any age who is trying to lose weight. I highly recommend it!"

Paul Crane, UltimateFatBurner.com

"I just listened to the first "Burn the Fat Show" and this one 20-minute message is at the top of my list. I have motivational CD's and books coming out the wazoo and you've set a standard in your show that I look forward to listening to again and again. Keep up the GREAT work!"."

Steve Wiebusch

The support here is incredible for my morale. I'm excited about the inches I've lost. In the past when I'd get halfway there, I'd lose motivation and quit. I've never made it this far and still felt motivated to keep going. "

Rikki Fougere


"I have many people everyday ask me what my secret is and how I lost 137 pounds. I tell them the same thing - I use Tom Venuto's Burn The Fat - Feed The Muscle program and it all boils down to "How bad do you want it?"
Mike Ogorek



"I've been following the Burn The Fat recommendations and I now fit into a pair of jeans that I havent worn in a long time. The Salvation Army must love me these days, as I've liberated 12 clothes hangers and two shelves of oversized clothes since New Years!"
Sarah Cecile
