Fad Diets And Diet Gimmicks Don't Work!

If you're serious about losing weight then you have to choose between one of only two sure ways. You have to decrease your calorie intake or increase your calorie output.

PREFERABLY BOTH!

The weight loss formula "input-output=loss or gain" is the very basis of this blog.

In fact that's the origin of the blog name! Diet-Fitness-Weight-Loss.

The bottom line is that if you're looking for a quick fix or "instant" weight loss you're in the wrong place. This blog won't be for you.

That same formula is the reason I'm such a fan of Tom Venuto. Tom is the author of Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle and his book tells it like it is. His methods are the key to permanent weight loss.

His teachings will be highly featured on this blog including the very first posting.

Who Is Tom Venuto And Who Cares?

I'm sure you're aware of the fact that there are thousands of diet programs and dozens or even hundreds of so called "fat loss experts".

However, very few of these self-proclaimed "Fat loss experts" practice what they preach or have the credentials and track record to back up their claims.

Tom Venuto is NOT in that category.

He has truly "been there and done that". He is a fat loss expert (and a very good writer) and proves it in Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle.

Tom has a BSC degree in exercise science. He's a certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) and a certified personal trainer (NSCA-CPT).

He's also a member of the International Society for Sports Nutrition (ISSN), the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the National Strength And Conditioning Association (NSCA).

Tom is a successful natural competitive bodybuilder. "Natural" means that he's never used steroids or any other banned or illegal physique enhancing drugs - ever!

Tom has been bodybuilding for 23 years and competing for 17 years. He's been involved in the fitness industry as a personal trainer, health club manager, nutritionist, motivation coach and freelance writer for nearly 18 years.

Bodybuilding and fitness is Tom's life - it's all he's ever done.

In competition Tom has won three state and three regional championships. He's even gone as far as 2nd place in the Mr. Natural USA and 2nd in the Mr. Natural North America contests.

Bodybuilding is not my forte. I'm sure it's not yours either. However the fact is that bodybuilders strive for low body fat. And fat is the enemy of every overweight person. You want to lose fat and not muscle.

Tom's program in Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle is not written for bodybuilders. It's for anyone that has excess body fat.

You can achieve AMAZING results on Tom's program without ever taking drugs - and Tom is living proof!

So that answers the question about who is Tom Venuto. Now for the "who cares" part? Well, I certainly do.

And anyone who needs to lose weight should too!!!
