Burn The Fat Science And Research Reviews Page

Welcome to the science and research reviews page! For those of you with inquisitive minds who don't just want to know what works, but also why something works, from a scientific perspective, and for those of you who find yourself often saying, "Show me the proof," you will want to visit this page often.

The Burn The Fat Inner Circle Science & Research column will feature both recent and older research that examines the mechanisms behind fat loss and muscle growth and explains why we do the things we do to get lean, healthy and muscular, from a scientific point of view.

It's a Burn The Fat maxim and philosphy that results are what counts and you must always get feedback and pay attention to what your body is telling you and pay attention to what other successful people are doing. However, one of the most powerful ways to make sense of the huge volumes of exercise and nutrition literature available today and to make good decisions is to look at "what the real world results say" AND "what the science says," not one or the other. Right here on this web page, you can find out what the science says.

Before writing any review, we will always obtain and thorougly review the full-text paper for every study. We will then post the study abstract, our "Burn The Fat Research Discussion" and the key "take-home" tips to help you translate research into real life. (By the way, if you're ever in a hurry, just scroll to the bottom of the page, where you can get the key "take away" points from the study in about 20 seconds flat!)

What The New "Low Carb" Study REALLY Says
Tom Venuto CSCS, NSCA-CPT
What The New "Low Carb" Study REALLY Says A news media feeding frenzy erupted earlier this week when a new diet study broke in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) on Thursday, July 17th. Almost all the reporters got it wrong, wrong WRONG! So did most of the gloating low carb forumites and bloggers. Come to think of, almost everyone interpreted this study wrong. Some valuable insights came out of this study, but almost everyone missed them because they were too busy believing what the news said or defending their own cherished belief systems... . . . keep reading
Out of Sight, Out of Reach, Out of Mind: How Food Proximity and Visibility Can Keep You Thin Or Make You Fat
By Tom Venuto
Out of Sight, Out of Reach, Out of Mind:
How Food Proximity and Visibility Can Keep You Thin Or Make You Fat What really makes you eat more than you need? At the Food and Brand Laboratory of Cornell University, Dr Brian Wansink has been conducting fascinating experiments to find the answer. We know that how much you eat is influenced by taste, mood, stress, social pressure, and role models. Dr. Wansink hypothesized that having foods close by and in plain sight could also lead you to eat more, and do it mindlessly. The results of his study will astonish you! Read Tom Venuto's review of the experiment and watch Dr. Wansink's Video... . . . keep reading
Why cardio doesn't work for some people… New study uncovers the answer!
By Tom Venuto
Why cardio doesn't work for some people… New study uncovers the answer! "Exercise is not effective for weight loss." "Cardio is a waste of time." "You must be cardio-resistant." "Aerobics makes you fat." What do these four statements, each one made by prominent book authors, scientists or personal trainers, have in common? Aside from the fact that they're all flat-out wrong, they are all alike because they completely miss or ignore the real reason why aerobics or cardio doesn't work for some people… A new study from the University of Leeds in the UK has found a definitive answer... . . . keep reading

High Protein Diet - Not Low Carbs - Reduces Appetite, Decreases Calorie Intake And Takes Off The Pounds, Says Well-Designed Study...
By Tom Venuto
High Protein Diet - Not Low Carbs - Reduces Appetite, Decreases Calorie Intake And Takes Off The Pounds, Says Well-Designed Study... Low carb diets have been popular for decades, but it's only been in the last few years that researchers started taking a closer look to see if there's really any science behind them. Amidst staunch criticism, some studies are now saying, "low carb diets really do increase weight loss." But this has created a new controversy; If that's true, then why??? Scientists from the University of Washington set out to prove their hypothesis: "It's not about decreasing carbs at all - it's about increasing protein." . . . keep reading
Science & Research: Low Carb Diets vs. Very Low Carb (Ketogenic) Diets
By Tom Venuto
Science & Research: Low Carb Diets vs. Very Low Carb (Ketogenic) Diets Zero-carb or very low carb dieters take notice: Based on a well designed new study, researchers at Arizona State University say there's no difference in results between low carb diets and ketogenic very low carb diets, and no metabolic advantage of ketosis. However, there are some negative side effects of ketosis... therefore, the researchers say, "The use of ketogenic diets for weight loss is not warranted..." . . . 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
