An artist's rendition of what this book would look like if you printed it, with a high glossy cover and had it professionally bound. It actually looks way more like your computer screen because it's an e-Book.
The Diet Solution is currently one of the web’s most popular weight loss programs. With very good reason. It is an honest, approachable book that anyone can pick up and understand. This book will guide you through everything you need to know in order to lose weight and keep it off.
The Diet Solution Quick Start Guide
The Diet Solution program is really more than one product. You get yourself a brilliant little quick start guide, which is perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to wait before starting their weight loss journey.
No fluff, no frills, just actionable steps that will get you to the place you want to be.
This no-nonsense eating plan teaches you how to eat all the good foods that you want, and you’ll never have to worry about starving or getting hungry at all.
The Diet Solution Full Book Download
Once you’ve downloaded the book (Psst: HERE) you’ll be able to get into the real action of this program. You’ll get a smart, well paced diet program, that has a proper balance to it. This is a diet book about lifestyle change, and isn’t any of those crazy fads that you see people gushing breathlessly about on TV.
This book is about eating sensibly and with a proper nutritional plan.
Get your head on straight
Like numerous other quality diet plans, the author starts with making sure you take the time to set your goals properly. No diet is going to work unless you’re committed to it and this one is no exception.
Determine your Metabolic Type
The Diet Solution aims to place you onto a ‘metabolic spectrum type’ spectrum. I personally don’t like the idea of these simplifications because I’m a computer programmer and like my facts to be science-y. However in this case her simplifications serve to illustrate the personalized requirements of a proper diet quite well. Being that I was also a high school teacher for a number of years, I can understand that this kind of stuff can be invaluable for helping people grasp a concept.
If you consider yourself more of a visual learner, this is the sort of thing that you can easily picture in your head. Every time you’re about to have a meal you’ll be able to see your metabolic type on that spectrum and that will help your meal planning.
Which leads us to…
Creating Your Meal Plan
Again, the Diet Solution wins at this step in the game. Simple wins out over complex every single time. Choose your meal plan, stick with natural foods and that’s it. You’ll start losing weight immediately! (Oooh you look nice… have you lost weight already? Seriously? WOW! You were just *thinking* of downloading this book! Can you imagine how well you’re going to do once you’ve actually downloaded it?!)
From there, you’ve got the stuff that I do like.
Now that you’re losing weight… Time to Learn the Science
It is my firm opinion that unless you learn the reasons behind your diet, you’ll never be able to stop dieting. That’s why these science chapters are so very very important. The diet solution goes into great detail about proteins versus carbohydrates, The different types of fats (Omega-3! Omega-6!). How many calories are in a serving size? How many calories a day should you eat? Everything you need to know to adapt the changes into your lifestyle as opposed to just living “by the book”.
Win your freedom from dieting!
In the end, there’s a bit of “Recipe Buffer” some great examples of healthy meals to get you rolling in your new life as a skinny person.
Overall:
The Diet Solution is good. It’s got solid roots in science and it’s also simple. Easy to understand, easy to follow. You’re not going to be confused at the end of reading this one.
If you want to lose weight and want it to be simple enough that a kid could follow it, then:

Review of “Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle” by Tom Venuto

Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle - Deluxe Edition the Bonus Download
Now, for everyone else who’s wondering if Tom Venuto’s “Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle” is worth it, the answer is yes. Over the next few paragraphs I’ll try and give a reasonable overview of why this is a good book for anyone hoping to to anything from lose weight to get themselves down to six pack abs.
The book itself is 313 pages long and is divided into a whopping 17 Chapters of solid advice, science and explanation. The key to this book’s success is that it wastes no time with fakes, scams and BS – but instead delivers a cellular, even chemical level explanation of why fat is formed in your body.
This is not a book for those interested in magic bullets.
The first two chapters are about preparing yourself mentally to lose weight. How can you set the goal and stick to it. This section puts a lot of “Neuro Linguistic Programming” (NLP) in your hands and tells you how to set up a “daily affirmation schedule”.
If you’ve ever dieted and failed, you must learn these techniques, and stick to them.
Chapters 3 to 6 together, guide you through the stages of figuring out what your baseline is and how you can measure your progress. You learn about calorie balance, body composition and all sorts of fancy tricks for figuring out how much you should eat and what your targets are.
The calculators found on this very website http://itsalldiet.com/category/tools are based on the information that comes out of Tom Venuto’s book. I should also mention that the before and after photos are based on following the advice in the book. I started this whole darned site because it worked so well! (Did I mention TL;DR: Get the Book! ?)
Chapters 7 to 13 deal with Nutrition and food portion planning. What should you eat? What to avoid? How often? How much at a time? If you like fact based information. If you like science, empirical evidence and if you really want to know the truth about dieting, then this stuff will be right up your alley.
If I’m being 100% honest about Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle, I think there are a few other places you should also get your information. I can put some links up to those at a later date. However, Tom’s book is definitely one thing you can use to lose the weight you want.
Chapters 14 and 15 bring together a step by step eating plan. Honestly, if you’ve read everything else you can build an eating plan in your head. However, you could easily just skip to these two chapters and start losing weight today.
Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle - Basic Edition
The last two chapters are about exercise. It seems a small amount of space for such an important topic – but – Tom (who’s been on the cover of Men’s Health magazines) covers what you need to know about exercise without bogging you down with in a hundred pages of photos of him doing squats.
There’s a lot more value in this book than a lot of diet books I’ve seen.
I can 100% attest to the value of the information in this book. Look through the rest of this site and you’ll see my before and after photos. It helped me lose the weight I wanted and it can help you too.
TL;DR: If you are planning to push yourself until you have SIX PACK ABS then this is the Book to Get
Body Mass Index Calculator
[ad]
Please Note
I know there’s a really good chance you came here to use a Body Mass Index Calculator, but, I really want to warn you: if you’re trying to do something about your weight BMI is not the best way to track your weight loss. You’re far better to look into your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and eat fewer calories than you burn. (There’s a tool for that here)
On a personal note, I lost and have kept off over 60 pounds using the tips from Tom Venuto’s Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle: Click Here to Check it out.
With that said, here’s the calculator:

Take the 100 Chin-Up Challenge
Adding muscle requires lifting heavy weights, and for most people, doing even one chin up is a real challenge. If you do chin-ups, you will gain muscle. Both your biceps and your back will show incredible improvements over time. Remember, if you can add 1 pound of muscle you’ll increase your Basal Metabolic Rate by about 50 calories (typically about 2%).
The Chin-up Challenge: to do 100 Chin Ups in a day.

Destination Abs! Episode One
679 days
Here’s a video introducing “Destination Abs” I’ve got a little quest going with myself to see if I can get from the point I am now to that point of actually having visible abs.
There’s a lot of questions about whether it’s even possible but here goes!
*one note about the video… I do say that it’s been a year since I was “the chubby guy” when actually it’s been two (how time flies). It took me less than a year to get to the point I’m at now and I’ve spent the last year “maintaining” my current weight.
It feels like it’s just about time to put the next big push in – so here goes!
