I do however find it necessary to bring Tom’s new hardcover book to your attention and Tom so graciously provided me with a press release to share with you to give you a little insight into what you can expect from The Body Fat Solution.

Below, I’ve included some questions that Tom answered describing the difference between his #1 Best Selling Diet Book “Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle” and his new book “The Body Fat Solution“. I encourage you to read those answers. For now, here’s the Press Release…

New Hardcover Book By Tom Venuto Reveals the 5 Principles for Burning Fat, Building Lean Muscle, Ending Emotional Eating and Maintaining Your Perfect Weight.

http://www.BodyFatSolution.com

By now, we all know that we gain fat when we take in more calories than we burn. But we’re not always rational creatures when it comes to food and exercise.

Recognizing the emotional and psychological factors that sabotage success, Tom Venuto’s new Book, The Body Fat Solution (Avery/Penguin) hones in on the real causes of body-fat and provides a sound plan to take back control of our bodies and end emotional eating for good.

In The Body Fat Solution, Venuto outlines the five principles that will retrain your mind and body for automatic success. Determined to help you keep the fat off for good, Tom shows you how to:

Venuto reminds us that calories do count! But The Body Fat Solution is neither super low carb nor super low fat, and he steers clear of demonizing entire food groups. Instead, Venuto helps you personalize an eating plan that takes into account your unique metabolism and calorie needs. He then presents illustrated workout programs to maximize the success of the diet plan that are fast and efficient.

Most important, he helps you plan and organize your life so that you can fully implement your new goals and monitor your progress, and finally maintain your perfect weight for life.

Tapping into his years of training expertise and personal experience, Venuto helps readers change their relationship with food, empowers them to take charge of their lives, and delivers a program that
promises dramatic and permanent results.

What’s The Difference Between “Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle” and “The Body Fat Solution”?

Question:

Tom, Can you point out what the difference is between this new book and BFFM? What’s missing in BFFM that’s covered here and vice versa?

Is The Body Fat Solution just a sub-set of BFFM?

Also, most important, who is the intended audience of The Body Fat Solution, and BFFM, and how do they differ?

Answer:

Burn the fat, feed the muscle (BFFM) was designed to be complete and definitive guide to nutrition for fat loss, based on the bodybuilding / fitness/ figure method of eating. The majority of BFFM is devoted to nutrition, with ancillary chapters on setting goals effectively and on weight training and cardio, also following the “bodybuilding method”

The target audience for BFFM is anyone who is serious about fat loss, and who wants to maximize their results by putting in the time, paying attention to details, using advanced techniques (such as those used by bodybuilders before competition), and doing nutrition by the numbers (counting calories and macros)

Generally, BFFM is for people who are highly motivated.

The new hardcover book, The Body fat solution was written for anyone who is overweight, or who was formerly overweight and who wants to maintain their ideal weight without struggle.

The Body Fat solution is not for athletes, bodybuilders or people who want to reach 4 or 5% body fat.

Body Fat Solution is especially written for people who struggle with inconsistent motivation, emotional eating, binge eating and other forms of self sabotage.

The body fat solution gives help for people struggling with everyday challenges – like frequent travel, restaurant temptations, busy schedules, high stress and social pressure – things that can can get in the way of the best nutrition or training strategy

IN the body fat solution, one concise chapter on nutrition is included along with chapters on cardio training and a time-efficient weight training program for the busy person, which makes The Body fat Solution a complete lifestyle program.

BUT, the major message is that what nutrition or training program you should follow is not the most important question. the real question is what makes you follow your program? and conversely, what makes you fall off your program so easily?

The body fat solution gets to the emotional and psychological root causes of body fat and shows you how to fix these hidden factors that sabotage most people

There has been a huge void in the book marketplace for this kind of information, until now

Today’s press release was just a very preliminary announcement and “heads up.” I will explaining the book in much, much greater detail in a free teleseminar in early January. watch for announcements and news in the months ahead.

Question:

Hi Tom,

I have your “Burn the Fat” e-book and it is the best book on diet I have ever read. Does your new hardcover book cover the same information as the e-book? I want to add the hardcover book to my nutrition library if it covers everything contained in the e-book. Your e-book is 300 pages and it is complete. Will the hardcover be just as comprehensive as the e-book?
Thanks,
Joe

Answer:

Joe, The new book, The Body Fat Solution, is not a hardcover version of Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle.

The Body fat solution is a completely new book with new content, a new focus and aimed at a somewhat different audience.

In 2003 Tom Venuto changed the fat loss world with his ebook “Burn the Fat – Feed the Muscle”… In 2008 he’s done it again with the Body Fat Solution. The World’s expert on fat loss speaks – I listen.
I’ve often said — Fat loss doesn’t start with an exercise program, a diet or a supplement… It starts with a mindset shift. That mindset shift begins with Tom’s new book. If you want to change your body – you need to change your mind. And to do that – you need Tom Venuto.

Recently I was interviewed by Sincere Hogan as a series dedicated to raising money for the victims of Hurricane Ike. Sincere grilled my friend Scott Colby and I on the topic of mindset and motivation and we dished out some great information which I am certain will accelerate your fat loss results.

Here are some of the questions that Sincere asked us…

Creating An Unstoppable Mindset

You can download the mp3 audio to listen to anywhere you wish, as well as the pdf transcripts to this interview on weight loss motivation and mindset. In the transcripts I’m referred to as TheFitB to make it easier to distinguish between the two Scott’s, myself and Scott Colby.

I would love to hear your feedback about the interview. Did you pick up on any tips that you will begin to implement immediately? Have you spent enough time focusing on building an Unstoppable Mindset?
