| At first glance, this product manual's title (Burn | | | | (Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle), check out his site |
| the Fat, Feed the Muscle) was a bit distracting. | | | | which as additional details, plus any special offers |
| While the 300+ page manual does a good job of | | | | that might be available.4. His discussion on the |
| explaining how increased muscle strength helps | | | | 'adaption syndrome' is valuable and an important |
| lose body fat and why its more important to lose | | | | lesson in getting to the next level of success in |
| body fat versus lose weight; I wasn't sure about | | | | your goal to lose body fat. You can also adapt |
| the content of the product manual until I read it in | | | | this lesson to help you succeed in many other |
| its entirety. The overall premise is to burn the | | | | areas of your life.What I didn't like1. Tom provides |
| body fat with exercise and feed the muscle with | | | | tons of valuable information on the subject of |
| good nutrition plans. The author, Tom Venuto, is a | | | | weight loss or how to lose body fat, but in the |
| body builder and that helps explain some of the | | | | beginning of the product manual, it lacks a detailed |
| direction of the manual.On the plus side, Tom's | | | | plan to help the reader start a program quickly. |
| instructional product manual has a tremendous | | | | Given today's fast paced world, a quick start |
| amount of information including goal setting, | | | | guide would have been useful.2. For novice |
| discussions on meal frequency and exercise plans, | | | | readers, the sections on drinking plenty of water |
| just to name a few. On the negative side | | | | and calorie balance are extremely important, but |
| (depending on your perspective), it contains a few | | | | for readers with this basic knowledge on how to |
| references about the basics of weight loss (or | | | | lose body fat, these sections are a bit too |
| body fat loss) such as drinking plenty of water | | | | elementary.3. In this product manual, Tom |
| and burn more calories than you consume. Basics | | | | discusses the benefit of timing meals. While this |
| are covered in 2 of the 17 chapters, so it didn't | | | | might improve your personal situation, I personally |
| waste too much of the reader's time.Overall, I | | | | believe the extra effort dedicated to timing is not |
| would rate this instructional manual, (Burn the Fat, | | | | worth the time & effort put into the timing |
| Feed the Muscle) an 8.5 out of 10. If you have | | | | process. (Or maybe I'm just a bit lazy to go |
| the ability to motivate yourself and take action by | | | | through that much detail to lose the last |
| reading a manual, then the price for this product | | | | percentage of body fat.)OverallFor beginners, this |
| of $39 is a great value. However, if reading an | | | | manual (Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle), provides |
| instructional manual isn't enough to motivate you | | | | 300+ pages of details that are extensive, |
| to take action to lose body fat, then you may | | | | easy-to-read and easy-to-implement. If you have |
| benefit from a more multimedia rich program | | | | some basic knowledge of weight loss or losing |
| such as Denise Austin's Fit Forever , Billy Blanks' | | | | body fat, you can still benefit from about 90% of |
| Tae-Bo, or Winsor Pilates . These other programs | | | | this product manual. There are a great few |
| include CDs, videos and/or charts. However, if | | | | sections that I've never seen before and are |
| you do consider these other programs, they may | | | | very interesting perspectives on how to lose |
| cost a bit more.What I liked1. 1. Tom's full chapter | | | | body fat.If you have the discipline (& can get |
| on setting 'compelling' goals helps the reader | | | | motivated to take action), then the small price |
| understand the importance of defining a compelling | | | | you'll pay ($39) is worth it. If however, you can't |
| reason for unstoppable motivation to succeed. In | | | | get motivated to take action by reading an |
| my opinion, a true compassionate reason is key | | | | instructional book, then you should consider other |
| to success in any area - without it, you're setting | | | | multimedia products such as Denise Austin's Fit |
| yourself up for mediocre results He uses excellent | | | | Forever , Billy Blanks Tae-Bo, or Winsor Pilates . |
| quotes from Denis Waitley & others to drive his | | | | As mentioned before, be prepared to pay a bit |
| point home.2. His discussions on how to lose body | | | | more for these other programs. I've followed |
| fat versus losing weight is covered well in his | | | | many of the steps outlined in his instructional |
| product manual and he discusses various methods | | | | product manual and have been pleased with the |
| to test body fat including the inexpensive use of | | | | results. For $39, and with a 3-month money back |
