Hi guys, as promised I’m going to start covering some of the more recent books that I feel can point you in a good direction for losing some weight and gaining some muscle in efficient methods– meaning methods that are proven to work for large amounts of people over a condensed period of time,  so it’s not such an uphill battle.

The First Book, and Best Place to Start

The first book that helps towards creating the turn fat into muscle illusion is Tom Venuto’s “Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle” which is the main site I recommend and gained most of the knowledge that helped me make the largest strides. Tom himself suggests in a myriad of ways in the book how diet and exercise have to coincide to provide the results that we all want, and how the strict, yet necessary diet is one of the most important elements towards creating the illusion of turning fat into muscle. I learned about the book off of several youtube videos when I was searching for the best material/program to start a few years ago, and the ratio between those that liked and those that didn’t is what won me over.

What I loved about the book, and why it still is the main authority on the subject for me, is the sheer level of detail in it. Sure, at first, my head was spinning somewhat after reading all of the various things Tom had to say about diet and fitness, but if you take it piece-by-piece you’ll quickly be able to start implementing the techniques mentioned.

I think what I took the most out of it was the great schedule Tom has set up for his routines, and just how good the routines are –the best ones were the ones Tom mentioned himself is still doing after all the years he’s been involved in lifting and bodybuilding. At the end of the day, it’s a great book because of the incredible amount of information on nutrition and what works, and also the specific routines and splits involved.

I also liked that it was all natural-he never recommended taking strange supplements or behind the counter products like some of the other supposed “top guys” in the industry did, and mainly just focused on the basics, and what worked for him, which, if you use with discipline will work for you. Like I said, it’s probably the best singular source of information out there regarding general body improvement and diet, and really helped me generate that turn fat into muscle illusion I was looking for; there’s a reason it’s kept it’s longevity for many years.

There are a few others out there that I still use to supplement Tom’s book, and I’ll provide more reviews of them in the near future. Until then, if you’re ready to start putting a plan in action, pick up “Burn the Fat” and give it a try!
