When one reads the statement "Lifetime-Natural Bodybuilder, Personal Trainer, Nutritionist and Success Coach From New Jersey Teaches You How to Turbo-Charge Your Metabolism, Burn Off Fat & Build Muscle as well... Guaranteed " at the Burn The Fat website, one tends to think well, here is another one making an idle, baseless claim. That is, till one actually gets the ebook and goes through its contents. From thereon, it is quite obvious why the claim is being made and why this fat loss program has become a bestseller.

Bascially, being over weight is having an excessive accumulation of fat in the body. Since excess storage fat develops when intake of the food required to produce energy exceeds the amount of energy used in metabolism and in physical activity, the treatment of excess fat must alter one or both aspects of the energy stream. The options to get rid of this fat are to decrease energy intake or to increase energy output, or both. There is also another factor that has to be taken into account: lifestyle - it determines and sets healthy or unhealthy dietary habits and practise. Burn The Fat, Build The Muscle is the only rare program that comprehensively deals with all these aspects that play a central role in fat loss.

Contrary to public perception, though, it's not a "weight loss" program, it's a "fat" loss program. Once you go through the first few chapters, it is obvious that pursuing "weight loss" is not only the wrong goal, it is also the reason that one fails to reach and maintain ideal body weight. Thereby, it brings the real problem into focus: excess body fat. Burn The Fat shows you exactly why it's fat you must lose, not "weight" (which is made up of muscle, water and other lean tissue) and then show you exactly how to do it effectively.

Clearly, Tom's advantage is that he is an accomplished body builder with a body fat level of 3.7 % ( every bodybuilder's dream) and it is because of this that he brings a rare insight into fat loss with techniques and information not found anywhere else.

It is the two components - fat burning and weight training, that makes Burn The Fat a two-edged fat loss program, setting it apart from the rest and it is upto the user as to how he wants to use this. On one hand, it contains earlier unknown effective techniques of burning fat, while on the other it also provides four weight training programs to build muscle. If it is just fat loss that you are, you can use the program just for that purpose. On the other hand, if you want to burn the fat and then convert the remaining body mass into muscle, you can do that as well. That is also why it is called Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle.

Fat loss is not just about burning off the present excess fat that one has. It is also about making lifestyle changes that caused the problem in the first place. Burn The Fat emphasizes this and points out the kinds of life styles that cause fat accumulation and then shows you how to make effective alterations without too much of a compromise.

Apart from the detailed fat loss techniques in the program, we were particularly impressed by Tom's honesty. He does not make fantastic fat loss claims and does not lead you up the garden path of setting ridiculous weight loss goals. Instead, he leads the user up the path of achievable goals, and provides ways to measure progress, body fat level etc, so you know where you are at with your fat loss program (and if you are not happy with the results even after due diligence, he is willing to refund).

One aspect he clearly states, though, is that this program needs effort and that it is not a quick fix. In fact he says, there is no quick fix that won't be counterproductive or limited in its results, which makes sense. For instance, it is a documented fact that when one opts for a quick fix to fat loss, one might lose a few pounds quickly, but once you the program ends, the fat comes back with a vengeance because of the very approach of quick fixes (usually starvation or tamerping with metabolism chemically).

This is the core of Burn The Fat. The rest of the book has the complete and exact mechanics of fat loss and effective muscle building - explained on both a scientific and a practical level.

However, although you will burn off large amounts of fat in a relatively short span of time, it is a moot point whether everyone will get a well toned body during the same time span. Common sense says, that will take a little more time and persistence with the weight training compopnent of Burn The Fat. But you'll get there most certainly if you stick to it. That's what Tom has promised and that's what has also be reported.

Comparison with other programs:

Basically, at the end of the day, the effective fat loss options are narrowed between Burn The Fat and Fat Loss 4 Idiots. Fat Loss 4 Idiots does have a unique fat loss dietary approach of its own callled the shifting calories theory that is also providing good results, but Burn The Fat is better value for money for these reasons:

* It has two applications, fat loss as well as muscle building. At the beginning one might want to just burn off fat. But what if after that you start wanting to build muscle as well? Will you spend another $40 for a muscle building program?
