Burn Fat

Tom Venuto at 4% Body Fat!

I received an email yesterday from Tom Venuto, champion body-builder and personal trainer to Hollywood stars. He has posted a great article on his website about how to lose that last vestige of belly fat and achieve the “ripped” abs look that many people crave. I thought some of my Burn That Fat Now readers might be interested in Ripped Abs, so I’m posting Burn That Fat Now – Ripped Abs alert. Click here to read the article.

Over the last few weeks I have received several very interesting questions about the calorie shifting diet plan from subscribers to my newsletter. I have answered each one personally, and some of them took some research! So welcome to the beginning of what will one day be my website FAQ. Here are a couple of the better questions.

1. I’m a vegetarian. Can I still use the Calorie Shifting plan?

Let’s Burn Fat! But wait, we need to do this right.

Anyone can lose weight if the put their mind to it. Burn more calories than you consume, get more exercise. Keeping it off is the major problem. This is where the proper mindset comes in.

The term “diet” itself creates a faulty mindset. It is a phase, something you do and once you reach your target weight, you don’t do it anymore. What is required to burn fat then maintain at that level is a lifelong change in dietary and exercise habits. Proper nutrition goes a lot deeper than just weight loss. It affects your general health and well-being, energy level, and resistance to disease. Once you have adopted a healthy dietary regimen in order to feel better, weight loss will come with the package.

My New Healthier Of Eating

After reading several reports and e-books about burning fat, I saw that I would have to change my eating habits in order feel better, have more energy and burn fat. Without going into a lot of technical stuff, I want to record here what I eat every day now and briefly, why. My diet is for basic weight loss at this point and is not nearly as rigid as it would be if I was trying to get “ripped abs”, or trying to be a bodybuilder. I lose  two to two and a half pounds of fat every week on this regimen.
