To maximize your results, regardless of whether your goal is fat loss or muscle gain, it's helpful to know your body type and adjust your approach according to your type.

Are Almonds and Other Nuts Good Weight Loss Foods?
By Tom Venuto
Almonds and other nuts are often recommended as great snack foods. They're hailed both as health "super foods" as well as weight loss foods, as recent research has discovered that that nuts can decrease risk of heart disease, improve blood cholesterol ratios and decrease symptoms of metabolic sydrome. Paradoxically, in spite of their high calorie content, they also appear to help with weight loss. But before you start eating nuts to your heart's content, there is one downside you need to know about... . . .

By Tom Venuto
Are certain fruits more conducive to weight loss than others?

Caloric Restriction for Life Extension: Will Eating Less Really Help You Live Longer?
by Tom Venuto
Question: "Tom, I just saw on Oprah, a 51 year old man with the heart of a 20 year old. He's been following a "calorie restriction" plan. They claim that he may become one of the first people to reach 120 years old by following this plan. Is there any truth to this and if so how would it fit in with your Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle (BFFM) plan. Can the BFFM food plan be also thought as a longevity lifestyle, but with more muscle mass?" . . .

Losing Face Fat: Usually a Good Thing, But What if Your Face Starts to Look Older or Too Gaunt?
Tom Venuto
QUESTION: Tom, I'm 7 weeks into your program and having great results. My trainer says I'm the best student he's had. I like to work hard and I share many of the same philosophies as you about the sense of reward and accomplishment when you work hard and earn something that you are proud of. I have one slight problem though. I have a youthful face for my age. However, now that I'm getting so lean, I noticed my face is getting older looking! Seems that losing the fat out of my face is making me look older. Any advice? . . .

Does The Weather Determine Your Fat Loss?
By Tom Venuto
After 20 years as a personal trainer, nutrition consultant and fat loss coach, I've heard every excuse in the book for weight gain and excess body fat. If you heard someone tell you that "The weather made me fat" you'd probably laugh and throw that into "the dog ate my homework" pile of lame excuses. Well, surprise, surprise, but there are actually scientifically-researched physiological and psychological reasons that the weather actually CAN make you fat. If you live someplace where the seasons change or the weather is cold most of the year, this is must-know information! . . .

Water-Induced Thermogenesis: Can Drinking Ice Cold Water Really Burn Off More Body Fat?
By Tom Venuto
When I first heard the claims that drinking cold water burns more fat, I had the same reaction that you probably had: "Sounds too good to be true, probably is." Well, believe it or not, there's actually some real evidence that drinking water, especially ice cold water, could increase metabolism or assist with weight loss in other ways. Granted, it's a small increase in metabolism and not all the studies even agree that it happens. Nevertheless, there's enough science behind this claim to make it worth taking a closer look at all the research - and that's exactly what I did . . .

Tribulus Terrestris: Can This Herb Build Muscle, Burn Fat And Boost Male Libido?
By Tom Venuto
Tribulis Terrestris is a supplement (an herb) promoted as a testosterone booster and libido enhancer. Tribulus allegedly works by increasing your body's production of Luteinizing hormone (LH). LH, in turn signals the body to release more testosterone. Tribulis does seem to have a cult following, and some people swear they notice some positive effects. With claims like "bigger muscles AND a better sex life" it's no wonder that men are running to the health food store to snatch this stuff up. But don't get too excited yet. You should research this a little more before you jump to conclusions. . . .

How to Count Calories and Create Precision Fat-Burning Meal Plans (Without Being Obessive-Compulsive!)
By Tom Venuto
QUESTION: I've been working on a spreadsheet so I can plan my menu for the week. I'm having a problem because when I take the grams of protein, carbs and fat and multiply them by their respective calorie numbers 4, 4 and 9, they don't add up! I don't know what numbers to use because the calories are adding up a little higher when you actually do the math by the grams. These Excel sheets are awesome, but I need to figure out this math. Any ideas about why this is happening? . . .

10 Questions You Must Ask Before You Even THINK About Taking Appetite Suppressant Drugs or Supplements
By Tom Venuto
Rimonabant, another supposed "miracle" obesity drug based on the endo cannabinoid system (the same receptors in the brain that cause the munchies when someone smokes marijuana) has bitten the dust. Rimonabant was withdrawn on safety concerns including severe depression and anxiety. This has raised many questions about what the next drug target will be and research is continuing in earnest in search of the next multi-billion dollar wonder pill. But is everyone asking the wrong questions and looking in the wrong places for solutions? . . .

The New Generation of Protein Bars: Healthy, Clean Foods, or STILL Candy in Disguise?"
By Tom Venuto
QUESTION: "Tom, I remember an article you wrote years ago called "protein bars: performance nutrition or candy bars in disguise?" You mentioned that most protein or health food bars were just candy bars with protein powder, basically. I was wondering if your opinions on this have changed at all since some of the bars today seem to use a lot more whole food ingredients and a lot less sugar"... . . .

Are Dairy Products Fattening and Unhealthy?
By Tom Venuto
Cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt and especially milk - foods long considered daily staples of good health - have come under fire recently by certain health authorities. Some experts claim that humans were not meant to drink cow's milk and that our body cannot process dairy products. One even said that dairy products were a "white devil" deserving to be lumped in the same category as white sugar and white flour. Is there any truth to these warnings or could there be something else behind these scare tactics? Tom Venuto reveals the shocking truth... . . .

"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!"
