30 grams of protein per meal limit: Fact or Myth?
By Tom Venuto
30 grams of protein per meal limit: Fact or Myth? Question: "I know what my approximate protein needs are by bodyweight and activity level (about 180 grams), but the question I have always had is: how much protein can I eat/drink at one time? I have heard that only 30 grams can be digested at a time. I eat 5 times a day like you recommend, but supposing I only ate 3 times a day; that would be 60 grams of protein per meal. Would half of the protein be wasted?" . . . keep reading

By Tom Venuto
Do Diet Sodas or Artificial Sweeteners Make You Fat? Artificial sweeteners have been "burned at the stake" in the court of public opinion, especially in the Internet age as people have easy access to self publish their personal beliefs and anecdotal reports. But are the scare stories true? Well, not many people will stick their necks out and vouch for the long term safety of artificial sweeteners. But do artificial sweetners contribute to obesity?

Tom Venuto
Sugar Alcohols (Polyols) In Protein Bars And Sugar-Free Foods:  Are They Healthy And Should You Include Them in Your Carb Count? Burn The Fat Q & A: "I have some questions about sugar alcohol and protein bars: I noticed on the label it shows sugars and sugar alcohols separately, the sum of both making up the total carbs. Are sugar alcohols simple carbs or not? If not, what the heck are they, exactly and should they count towards the carb count or can I subtract them from my carb total for the day like I do the fiber? Lastly, Are they bad for you in any way, health wise?" . . . keep reading

Colon Cleansing: Are All "Cleansing" Diets And Supplements Scams or Are There Any Legitimate Health Or Weight Loss Benefits?
By Tom Venuto
Colon Cleansing: Are All "Cleansing" Diets And Supplements Scams or Are There Any Legitimate Health Or Weight Loss Benefits? A quick search on Google for colon cleansing will display a mind boggling listing of products and programs which claim that all kinds of "gunk" has built up inside your colon and digestive tract and that you must clean it out or you will succumb to disease.

It's very difficult to get straight answers on this subject today because there are so many people who swear by these methods, many of which are MLM salespeople. See what the science really says as Tom tackles colon cleansing in our latest Burn The Fat Q & A column . . . keep reading

by Tom Venuto
Daily Weigh-Ins: Productive or Obsessive? Many weight loss authorities say that you should "throw away your scales" and that it's counter-productive to weigh yourself at all, let alone every day.

Body composition is certainly more important than body weight, however, new research has revealed a strong correlation between daily weigh-ins and long term weight loss success. Read on to learn more about how to monitor and measure your body weight to increase your fat loss success… . . . keep reading

By Tom Venuto
The Latest News On Tuna Fish And Mercury: Is Our Favorite "Healthy" Fish Still Safe to Eat? Tuna is a favorite in many fitness and bodybuilding nutrition programs as a lean protein source, and health experts tell us to eat more fatty fish such as salmon for heart health and for the healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

Coconut Oil, Health And Weight Loss
Coconut Oil, Health And Weight Loss For years, coconut oil has been labeled as a fat to avoid because it is a saturated fat in the "tropical oils" category. As with other saturated fats, the truth is not so simple as saying "saturated fats are bad." Although hydrogenated tropical oils are certainly something to avoid, these processed and chemically-altered oils are not the same as pure virgin coconut oil. Coconut oil has some very interesting health promoting properties... but before you jump on the "Coconut oil makes you lose weight" bandwagon, you'd better read this first... . . . keep reading

Are Toxins Lurking In Your Fat Cells Released During Weight Loss?
By Tom Venuto
Are Toxins Lurking In Your Fat Cells Released During Weight Loss? Question: "Tom, I read an article that said toxins from the "typical American diet" (processed crappy foods) get stored inside our fat cells along with excess dietary fat when we overeat, and when we create a calorie deficit and burn the excess fat in our bodies, we release those toxins back into the blood stream. Have you ever heard of this? Any truth to this?" . . . keep reading
Fiber And Net Carbs: Should You Subtract Fiber From Your Carb Count???
By Tom Venuto
Fiber And Net Carbs: Should You Subtract Fiber From Your Carb Count??? Low carb dieting has become so mainstream that it has created a huge industry of low carb eating programs, low carb supplements and low carb food products. Some low carb proponents claim that it's important to distinguish between carbs that are fully utilized and the fibrous carbs which pass through your system mostly undigested. The concept of net carbs or low impact carbs was created to help make this distinction... but is subtracting fiber or counting "net carbs" really necessary or just an invention of the low carb food industry? . . . keep reading
Can Metabolic Typing Help You Find The Perfect Diet For Your Body Type?
By Tom Venuto
Can Metabolic Typing Help You Find The Perfect Diet For Your Body Type? Metabolic typing is a nutritional theory which proposes that every person is biochemically unique and that there is an ideal ratio of protein, carbs and fat that is perfect for your hereditary body type.

"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!"
