Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle (BFFM) is a best-selling ebook on fat loss. This ebook authored by Tom Venuto, a natural bodybuilder is a huge volume of 340 pages. This book has been on the best-selling list for more than a year, so what makes it so good?

There are lots of ebooks on weight loss and fat loss. In fact, there are over 88 books online. However, many of these are mundane and worthless containing diet programs that you will not follow for more than few weeks. BFFM, on the other hand, does not promise rapid makeovers or secret ingredients. It is about losing fat and the book contains lots of scientific facts and information that are very realistic.

Book Contents

The book covers nutrition, cardio exercises, weight and strength training, commitment, goal-setting, and various other aspects required to lose fat.

The utter size of the book (340 pages) can be a great obstacle in starting off. Further, many critics believe that the author is too egotistic. Vanity is the second name of all bodybuilders and Tom is not far behind. However, he is genuine and helpful in interactions. As in all genuine weight-loss plans, BFFM does not provide a fast track proposition and requires keeping track of calories and serving sizes.

This is to understand the food volume that works best for each person. There is also criticism about the over enthusiasm about exercising. Although the author discusses lots about cardio training, he also highlights the need to identify what works for each person.

Nutritional Advice

BFFM teaches you about core nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Several sample recipes are included in the appendix; nevertheless, the book concentrates on eating right and planning meals. The book does not provide a perfect diet formula, but helps you identify what works best for you.

Conclusion

BFFM is one of the best bets for all those who want to reduce body-fat the healthy way. However, for those who wonder if it provides the perfect answer to your body-fat problems, it doesn’t. All the same, the book provides tools and techniques required to implement lifestyle changes that will help lose fat and transform into a newer you. The book provides plenty of motivation to implement these changes.

Although several books hit the stand frequently, BFFM has managed to stay on top, and will probably remain there for several years.

    Superb post! BFFM was the very first ebook on fitness i bought when i was overweight back in 2006, an absolute bible as far as i’m concerned, i learnt so much and it’s what inspired me to become so interested in health and fitness.

    I agree with your conclusion though, it’s not the be-all and end-all of your fitness journey, i’ve bought many more books since to complement it, but i would always recommend it as a first read for those serious about getting fit and losing weight!

    Great post, regards, Paul.
