Fat Loss Guru Tom Venuto Releases NEW Hardcover Book

New Hardcover Book By Tom Venuto: January 2009

For Immediate Release. September 30th, 2008 (from the publisher: Avery/Penguin Group, New York)

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

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 Group) 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:

• change your vision through manageable goals for indomitable confidence
• eat healthy, delicious food almost unconsciously and shed the pounds effortlessly
• maximize your metabolism to jolt out of plateaus
• reshape your body through lean muscle training for a strong core and toned frame
• invite a supportive social network of friends, family, and mentors to help you achieve your dream for life

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.

The Body Fat Solution is scheduled for release on January 8th, 2009. Now available for Pre order at Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble.com

How To Best Track Results For Fat Loss Success?

Ask The Fitness Expert Question:

"Hey Kyle,

I am tracking all my stats for the next 12 weeks. I was wondering since I don't have access to someone to measure my bodyfat professionally with calipers -if the things I do have at home are ok for this and wonder which is the most consistent and best device to use.

I have a fat trac2 which as you know measures 3 points and calculates my % and I have an Accumeansure which only measures the illiac and then I use the chart to convert it or I have a tanita body fat and weight scale whcih I heard is not real reliable. Would you please let me know which one you think would be the most accurate for me to measure results and keep consistent records. thanks for your input--Michael


Kyle's Answer:

Hey Michael,

Thanks for the e-mail and great question...

A mentor of mine says, "Everything measured improves...everything measured carefully improves exponentially."

My buddy and fat loss expert Tom Venuto teaches the importance of the Feedback Loop and testing yourself every week so that you know 'what's working, what's missing, and what's next."

With that said you can do great with the tools you already have...

I am a big fan of the Accumeasure because its cheap and repeatably consistent.

You don't have to test yourself with only the Iliac Crest site, you can test others too and I recommend it.

I recommend testing more than just your Iliac, test your thigh, and abdominal too.

I would also recommend keeping track of weight, and taking a series of tape measurement such as Calf, Thigh, Hips, Chest, Abs, and biceps.

For directions on how to do that just do a search on Google for specific How To's.

My buddy Tom Venuto also has a great guide that comes along with his excellent "Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle" program that shows you how to use the Accumeasure Calipers to monitor your fat loss progress.

That will give you a more complete picture of changes.

Hope that helps buddy!

What's The Best Dumbbel Size to Purchase Over 60 Pounds?

Hi Kyle,


What is the best dumbbell size to purchase over 60 lbs.? Go with 70,80,90lb or go with the 65 and +5 lb on? (as in 65,70,75 80,85, 90 lb for My home gym)? Thank You,


Mario







Hi Mario,


Thanks for the question. I don't know if there is a "best" dumbbell to have. It depends on how much you want to spend, your strength levels, your goals, and how much room you have.
So to make a long story short you have many options.


You could pick up the 60-90 lb. dumbbells and work with those. You could also go with the 65-95 lb dumbbells. Either option would be just fine.


You could also buy some heavy duty Power Blocks thatadjust from 5-85 lbs. and have a huge variety in weight to work with in one easy to find spot (the power blocks take up a lot less space in your home gym as well!).


One thing I would like to recommend if you do go with the Hex Dumbbells is to pick up some magnetic Plate Mates.


You can pick these up in 1.25 lb increments or even in 2.5 pound increments. You could pick up a pair of 1.5 lb. plate mates (2 of them on one dumbbell would allow you to jump up by a reasonable 2.5 pounds).


If you went with the 2.5 pound plate mates you could have the 5 pound jumps that you wanted and save yourself a boatload of cash and a lot of space.


Check out following link: http://tinyurl.com/dedh3 to learn more about these great tools.


I hope that helps Mario and keep me posted on your progress!

Fitness Q+A: How Do I Fix My Motivation Problems??

Hi Kyle

My biggest problem with my home gym training is my motivation

I do agree that you need to figure out where you want to be what you want
and invisage it before you start.

Maybe I need to be very specific with my reason for training.

I have relax into stretch by pavel and do it three times a week in the
mornings after I have been up a while.

I have checked out kettlebells here but where I live in the North of
Australia classes are not available.

Ciao Storm

Why Some People Quit And Some People NEVER Give Up!

By Tom Venuto, CSCS, NSCA-CPT
Author of Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle

Throughout my 18 years in the fitness industry as a trainer, nutrition consultant and motivational coach, I have noticed that some people who start a nutrition and exercise program give up very easily after hitting the first obstacle they encounter. If they feel the slightest bit of discouragement or frustration, they will abandon even their biggest goals and dreams.

On the other hand, I noticed that some people simply NEVER give up. They have ferocious persistence and they never let go of their goals. These people are like the bulldog that refuses to release its teeth-hold on a bone. The harder you try to pull the bone out of his mouth, the harder the dog chomps down with a vice-like grip.

What's the difference between these two types of people? Psychologists say there is an answer.
An extremely important guideline for achieving fitness success is the concept that, "There is no failure; only feedback.

You don't "fail", you only get results."

This is a foundational principle from the field of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), and the first time I ever heard it was from peak performance expert Anthony Robbins back in the late 1980's. It's a principle that stuck with me ever since, because it's a very, very powerful shift in mindset.

A lot of people will second-guess themselves and they'll bail out and quit, just because what they try at first doesn't work. They consider it a permanent failure, but all they need is a little attitude change, a mindset change, or what we call a "reframe."

Instead of saying, "This is failure" they can say to themselves, "I produced a result" and "This is only temporary." This change in perspective is going to change the way that they feel and how they mentally process and explain the experience. It turns into a learning opportunity and valuable feedback for a course correction instead of a failure, and that drives continued action and forward movement.

It's all about your results and your interpretation of those results
Dr Martin Seligman, a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, did some incredible research on this subject and wrote about it in his book, Learned Optimism. Dr. Seligman noticed that the difference between people who give up and people who persist and never quit is what he referred to as "explanatory style." He said that explanatory style is the way we explain or interpret bad events or failures.

People who habitually give up have an explanatory style of permanence. For example, they hit a plateau in their progress and explain it by saying, "diets never work" or "I have bad genetics so I'll always be fat." These explanations imply permanence.

Other people hit the same plateaus and encounter the same challenges, but explain them differently. They say things such as, "I ate too many cheat meals this week," or "I haven't found the right diet for my body type yet." These explanations of the results imply being temporary.
People who see negative results as permanent failure are the ones who give up easily and often generalize their "failure" into other areas of their lives and even into their own sense of self. It's one thing to say, "I ate poorly this past week because I was traveling," (a belief about temporary behavior and environment), and to say, "I am a fat person because of my genetics" (a belief about identity with a sense of permanence).

Remember, body fat is a temporary condition, not a person!

People who see challenges and obstacles as temporary and as valuable learning experiences are the ones who never quit. If you learn from your experiences, not repeating what didn't work in the past, and if you choose to never quit, your success is inevitable.
