Mind and Motivation: "We Become What We Think About, Most Of The Time..."

Mindset and motivation are critical aspects in forging a lean physique. Earl Nightingale said, "The strangest secret is that we become what we think about, most of the time." It all begins in the mind. Thought is the cause. Behavior is the effect. We think, and with those thoughts, we create.

In The Inner Circle Mind And Motivation department, you will find information and resources that will teach you how to set and achieve goals, help you direct your thoughts, sharpen your mental imagery, train your mind, transform your self-image and develop the mental strength needed to create the body and health of your dreams.

Instead of Making Resolutions Set S.M.A.R.T.E.R. Goals
By Tom Venuto
Instead of Making Resolutions Set S.M.A.R.T.E.R. Goals Why do new year's resolutions usually fail? Why do you start with guns blazing on January 1st, but by February, you're losing motivation, cheating on your diet, skipping workouts, and slipping back into old patterns? The dictionary definition of resolution is the mental state or quality of being resolved; a firm determination. With the arrival of every New Year, however, resolution usually ends up meaning "to re-solve." . . . keep reading
The Little Thing in Your Head That's Keeping You Fat
By Tom Venuto
The Little Thing in Your Head That's Keeping You Fat A scientist somewhere just read the title of this article and said out loud, "YES! Venuto is right! That little thing in your head - the hypothalamus - it IS the thing keeping you fat! By George, that Venuto guy isn't a dumb bodybuilder after all - he's been doing his research!" At which moment, I will be shaking my head and thinking, you need to get out of the lab and into the real world, with real people, buddy." To be fair, Neuro-endocrine control of appetite and body fat really is fascinating. But today, I'm talking about PSYCH-ology, not PHYSI-ology. The little thing in your head that's keeping you fat is actually just a... . . . keep reading
A "Mind Training" Technique That Makes You Stronger
Tom Venuto
A "Mind Training" Technique That Makes You Stronger The word visualization sometimes conjures up images of new age gurus teaching esoteric techniques for personal enlightenment and "attracting" what you want into your life. This causes many evidence-based types to scoff. However, piles of research has shown that mental imagery (aka "visualization") can improve performance. The latest study suggests that a certain type of mental imagery can also increase your strength... To keep reading CLICK HERE . . . keep reading
Does Sharing Your Goals Make You Less Likely To Achieve Them?
Tom Venuto
Does Sharing Your Goals Make You Less Likely To Achieve Them? Conventional wisdom says that we should tell our friends our goals because that will create accountability and positive peer pressure. That will increase our motivation, help us stick with it through the rough patches and improve the chances of us reaching our goals. Citing psychology research from New York University, Sivers claims that telling someone your goals makes them less likely to happen. According to this research, our minds can be tricked into believing that talking about something is the same as doing something. What's the real truth? Click Here to find out... . . . keep reading
Moving From Diet to Lifestyle
By Brian Nordberg
Moving From Diet to Lifestyle Ever wish you were one of those people that didn't have to pay attention to food choices or calories or exercise, yet still stay fit and trim? Do you ever think that you'll be glad when you've hit your goal so you can get back to "normal"? Do you ever find yourself repeatedly falling off the wagon or looking for excuses to take a break? I think most of us have felt that way. I know I have. Thankfully, we have the tools to transform our bodies and to reach our fitness goals. Why then, do so many people give up on their goals, walk away, or lose it once they've achieved it? . . . keep reading

The Most Effective Motivational Force: How To Stick With Any Diet or Nutrition Program
By Tom Venuto
The Most Effective Motivational Force: How To Stick With Any Diet or Nutrition Program Do you easily stick with your nutrition plan or do you give in to unplanned cheating and frequent excesses? Do you have near-perfect gym attendance or do you often skip workouts? When you do workout, are your sessions a 10 out of 10, or do you have a lot of 6's and 7's (or lower)? What would happen to your results -- the increased amount of fat you would burn, the muscle you would build, the strength you would gain - if you finally mastered this whole "fitness motivation" thing and finally STUCK WITH YOUR PROGRAM without falling off the wagon again? . . . 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
