The Body Fat Solution

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:

- End emotional eating and stop diet self sabotage
- Re-program your mind for "auto-pilot" success
- Go beyond goal setting by crafting a powerful "vision" that
motivates you for life
- Eat healthy, delicious food almost unconsciously and
shed the pounds without depending on willpower
- Invite a supportive social network of friends, family, and
mentors to help you achieve your dream body

Check out The Body Fat Solution

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 nutrition 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.

The Body Fat Solution offers help for people struggling with everyday
challenges such as frequent travel, restaurant temptations, busy
schedules, high levels of stress and social pressure -- roadblocks that
can get in the way of the best nutrition or training strategy

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.

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.

Dieting Causes Brain Damage!

Due to popular belief it is true!

Ok maybe not but it can drive you nuts sometimes thinking diet this diet that.

That is one of the reasons I do not like the word diet, sounds cheesy but its true break it down DIE-t.

So to make you laugh and bring some joy to healthy eating I thought I would share some of this book my Mom has with you.

A few little things to thing about with eating.


1. A simple strategy to lose weight and keep it off is to simply stop shoveling food into your mouth. Most of us need to slow down and enjoy our meals more, rather than treating them like NASCAR refueling stops.

2. As we've all learned, nothing wonderful or life-changing ever came out of a drive-through service window.

3. Nothing terrifies long-term couch potatoes like the threat of exercise. Such fears are not unfounded. Since the invention of Lycra, exercise has built up a deservedly unpleasant reputation, thanks to psychotic aerobics instructors. Mind-numbingly boring and repetitive workouts featuring wholly undignified ab exercises.

4. I'm not saying it will be easy. It won't be. Your first run along the beach isn't going to look anything like the opening scenes of Baywatch.

5. One golden rule of effective weight loss is to simply keep your big mouth shut. This immediately rescues your intake of excessive calories and stops you from driving people crazy by going on and on about your diet and regaining your ideal weight.

6. If you watch TV, go to the movies, or read magazine, you may believe that all men are supposed to be bronzed, muscle-bound freaks, and all women should look like alien-headed supermodels. But normal beings cannot and should not try to measure themselves against the media's airbrushed, air headed ideals that are totally out of touch with reality.

7. If you don't want to do any of that you could move to a part of the world where a generous layer of body fat is essential for survival. Or try to make yourself feel better by associating exclusively with people who are much fatter than you are. Luckily, in North America these days, this is surprisingly easy to do.


This book is great and I wish you could see the funny pictures of animals that go with each one. If you want something to cheer you up I highly recommend this book. "Deiting Causes Brain Damage" by Bradley Trevor Greive.
