Reviews:
"Offering the opposite of a quick fix, Venuto is honest about the
effort it takes to drop a significant number of pounds. This is the
book for women ready to tackle long-term weight loss."
--Polly Brewster, O: The Oprah Magazine
"Venuto gets at all the physical, psychological, and even sociological
aspects of overeating, outlining a program of mental, cardio, and
strength training, stressing accountability and self-control. Nothing
fluffy about this book: just well-founded scientific research and
clearly illustrated direction."
--Raya Kuzyk, media editor, Library Journal
"Read this book -- if you want to lose weight, improve your body and
your health, and keep up these improvements for life. Tom Venuto gives
it to you straight, basing his program on solid science and common
sense. You will come away with a new feeling of inspiration and a new
action plan to get you started and keep you on track to help you reach
your goals -- and then beyond."
--Judith S. Beck, Ph.D., author of The Complete Beck Diet for Life;
Director,
Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research; and
research associate professor for psychology in psychiatry, University
of Pennsylvania
"At last, easy, concise, no excuses; get skinny -- this is the guide.
Great work, Tom!"
--Richard Bandler, co-developer of NLP (neuro-linguistic programming)
and author of Get the Life You Want
"Tom Venuto's book Body Fat Solution is one of the most
important books on health, happiness, and physical well-being. With
this fast-moving, easily usable series of methods and techniques, you
learn how to enjoy superb physical fitness, achieve your ideal weight,
and feel terrific about yourself, both emotionally and spiritually."
--Brain Tracy, motivational speaker and author of Reinvention
"In 2003, Tom Venuto changed the fat-loss world with his e-book Burn
the
Fat, Feed the Muscle. In 2008 he's done it again with The
Body Fat Solution. The world's expert on fat loss speaks -- I
listen. I've often
said fat loss doesn't start with an exercise program, a diet, or a
supplement . . . It starts with a mind-set shift. That mind-set shift
begins with Tom's new book. If you want to change your body, you need
to change you mind. And to do that, you need Tom Venuto."
--Alwyn Cosgrove, coauthor of The New Rules of Lifting and The
New
Rules of Lifting for Women
"The Body Fat Solution hits the nail on the head. After working
in the weight-loss arena for years, I've learned it's difficult to find
a book that truly spells out what it takes to lose weight permanently.
It's not a gimmick, it's not a quick fix, but it surely is a solution."
--Christopher R. Mohr, Ph.D., R.D., cofounder of Mohr Results, Inc.
"The Body Fat Solution is going to change the paradigm in terms
of weight loss. Most people believe that it's a particular program that
will be the answer, but as Tom covers in his book, it's more about what
gets each of us to follow any program -- the behavioral factors
that are so critical in achieving success. His new book perfectly
addresses the science of exercise and behavioral psychology together, a
powerful combination!"
--Steve Yu, producer of Inspired: The Movie
"The Body Fat Solution provides solutions for regular people who
live with stress, a shortage of time, and emotional eating habits, and
who lack motivation. Through reading and implementing this book,
readers will be able to promote successful thinking, stop bingeing and
self-sabotaging behavior, lose fat, increase muscle, eat delicious
foods, become motivated, quit dieting, increase metabolism, break the
fat-loss plateau, lose those last few pounds, and develop a positive
social network."
--Kelly Jad'on, book reviewer and syndicated health columnist, Basil
&
Spice
"Look for The Body Fat Solution to become the best seller of
the new year."
--Jim Foster, www.diet-blog.com
"Thank you so much for writing The Body Fat Solution. After
reading the book, I decided to download the audio version and listen to
it over and over again. The principles you shared have helped me to
help my clients finally realize their self-limiting behaviors and have
brought an awareness of destructive habits that was missing in the
fitness marketplace. I highly recommend this book, an instant classic!"
--Jimi Varner, personal trainer
"The Body Fat Solution outlines all of the necessary tactics to
tackle intangible influence on our nutrition and exercise plans. The
most insightful and logical nutrition and exercise program I have ever
seen. Everything you need to know . . . it's all there. Very
motivational and very doable!"
--Wade Weatherington, M.D., FAAP
"The Body Fat Solution is an amazing, life-changing book. When
you are ready, this is the book to read. I found Tom Venuto's book in
my time of need. We all know what to do, but Tom gives us the how, the
whys, and the science behind the facts. Somehow, understanding the whys
helps so much more than someone just telling me what to eat or not to
eat. This book should be mandatory reading in every health class across
the United States. This would help solve the obesity crisis in America."
--John D. Kovac, M.D.
