The Fat Burning Kitchen is a nutritional eBook written by Mike Geary and Catherine Ebeling. Lets take a look at some some pros and cons of this ebook:

Pro: Easy to Read and Apply

Most eBooks get too scientific, especially nutritional eBooks. Well, the Fat Burning Kitchen is extremely easy to read and implement. Mike goes step by step and tells you exactly what to eat, and what to avoid.

Just take a look at the contents to see how simply this eBook is organized:

Wow, Mike doesn’t joke around. He tells you everything about everything!

Pro: Exposes certain “Healthy” foods that are really Unhealthy

Food makers seem to be able to do anything they want with very little regulation. There are hundreds of foods that people are consuming regularly that are marketed to you as healthy, but really are not.

Right on the 6th page of the eBook, Mike talks about the processing of foods. Do not skip over this section. You absolutely know how the foods that you eat are being processed and how it effects your body.

Whenever a company tells you something is low-carb, non-fat, low-fat, high protein etc., the food is processed. Our ancestors ate unprocessed foods. We don’t. (Mike will tell you why this is an important distinction).

Con: You May need to Drastically Change your Diet

Most people reading this will be shocked at what they’re eating. I know I was! I thought I ate pretty healthy, but there were a few things I was eating that were absolutely not healthy for me.

For example, the American diet is very heavily based on corn. Corn is a type of grain. Our ancestors who’s diets were heavy on grain suffered from high rates of anemia, arthritis, and osteoporosis.

Pro: Written by Two Experts

Another thing I like about this eBook is that it’s written by Mike Geary and Catherine Ebeling. Mike Geary is a world-renowned certified trainer and nutritionist. He is also the author of Truth About Abs (you’ve probably heard of it).

Catherine Ebeling is another certified nutritionist. Now, not one person knows everything. So, it’s a good idea to team up with someone and create a complete product that answers all of an individual’s questions.

As you can see from the contents posted above, the eBook certainly is packed with a lot of great information. It’s true what they say: two heads are better than one.

Con: Gets Too Scientific…Sometimes

I stated this book was easy to read. It is. But sometimes, actually at a few points, the book gets a bit too scientific. Push yourself through these areas because they are very vital to read.

I suggest reading the entire eBook from front to back, chapter by chapter, line by line. At the end, if there’s something you don’t understand you can always review it.

If there is still something that you need to be cleared up, you can always ask me or shoot an email to Mike. Mike has a great support team ready to answer all your questions.

Pro: You’ll Achieve a leaner and healthier body

It’s not going to be easy, but with Mike’s help you’ll certainly be that much closer to achieving a healthier body. He’s constantly giving you incredible tips throughout the book.

For example, most individuals avoid fats completely when trying to lose weight. The truth is, eating certain fats can actually help you get leaner. Eating the wrong kinds of fats (which most people do) will lead to fat gain, and other health issues.

Another thing people do when trying to lose weight is to switch to artificial sweeteners. These sweeteners can be extremely harmful to the body and have caused numerous side effects (one of the caused excessive urination..what!)

Pro: Includes Video Lessons

The last thing that is so incredible about Mike’s eBook is that he also includes video lessons. Reading something and visually seeing something are two different things.

Mike has teamed up with Isabel (author of The Diet Solution) to give you a series of videos that can be used alongside with the Fat Burning Kitchen. These videos are only for people who purchased the Fat Burning Kitchen.

Overall, Mike’s created an amazing product!

This is always tough to admit, but nutrition is more important than your workouts when it comes to fat loss.

And since diet is more important than exercise, I’ve decided to spend a lot time sharing nutrition tips this week, starting with these 5 diet secrets:

1) Your nutrition program doesn’t have to be extreme.

Hold up on making any extreme diet changes. Make sure the nutrition plan you’ve chosen is sustainable. Simple diet changes go a lot farther than you might think.

Why not just eat more whole, natural foods rather than trying to go on an impossible-to-stick-to ultra-low carb extreme plan?

2) Get the junk out of the house.

If it’s in your house, you’ll eat it…and trust me, this goes for me too. When I visit a relative’s house for holiday, I always eat the treats they have sitting around. That’s why I keep the junk out of  my house.

So whatever your weakness is, keep it out of your home.

Success is that simple.

3) Fill in the “diet-killing” gap.

For some folks, the diet-killing gap is between work and dinner. For others, it’s between dinner and bedtime, but for almost everyone, there is a point in the day when we suffer from mindless eating.

So make sure you have alternatives…as soon as you come home from work, cut up vegetables and dip them into hummus. That will keep you full on a small amount of calories.

After dinner, if you need something sweet, stir up chocolate protein powder into a small bit of plain yogurt. That will satisfy you.

4) Chew your food 5-10 times before swallowing.

Most people eat so fast they only about 1-2 times. You’ll really notice a difference and you’ll slow your eating so you feel full.

5) Have a bowl of broth-based vegetable soup before a meal.

American researcher Barbara Roll has published a lot of studies showing that this will help you reduce the food you eat. Surprisingly, consuming just water doesn’t seem to do the same trick.

So those are just 5 of the diet secrets we have for you this year.

Stay tuned for proven secrets to help you lose fat in 2010.

My apologies. You can no longer get the Holy Grail eBook as a bonus to the Burn the fat ebook. However, I’ve written a review about this product that you can read here.

“How can I gain muscle and lose fat at the same time?” That’s right up there with “How do I get six pack abs” as one of the most frequently asked fitness questions of all time. The problem is, when you ask it, you get all kinds of conflicting answers – even from experts who are supposed to know these things. So what’s the deal? Is it really possible to lose fat and build muscle simultaneously?

Short answer: Yes, you can gain muscle and lose fat at the “same time.”

Long answer: It’s difficult and it’s complicated. Allow me to explain….

First we have the issue of whether you really lose fat and gain muscle at the “same time.”

Well, yes, if your definition of the “same time” is say, a month or 12 weeks. But in that case, you’re probably not gaining muscle at the “same time” literally speaking, as in, right now this very moment you are reading this, or 7 days a week, 24 hours a day for months in a row.

The best explanation for what’s really happening is that you alternate between periods of caloric surplus (anabolism) and caloric deficit (catabolism) and the net result is a gain in muscle and a loss in body fat.

You see, if you stay in a calorie surplus, it’s the body’s natural tendency for body fat and lean body mass to go up together. And if you stay in a calorie deficit, it’s your body’s natural tendency for body fat and lean body mass to go down together.

There may be exceptions, but the general rule is that it is very difficult to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time – the mechanisms are mostly antagonistic to one another. When it does happen, it’s almost always the result of “unusual conditions” – I call them X factors.

The 4 X-Factors

The first X-factor is “training age” . Ever hear of “newbie gains?” The less trained your body is and the further you are from your genetic potential, the easier it is to gain muscle. The reverse is also true – an advanced bodybuilder with 20 years experience would be thrilled just to gain a few pounds of solid dry muscle in a year!

The second x factor is muscle memory. It’s easier to regain muscle you’ve lost than it is to gain new muscle in the first place (ergo, the fat out of shape semi retired bodybuilder who starts training again and blows up and gets ripped “overnight”).

The third X factor is genetics (or somatotype). Ever heard of the “genetic freak?” That’s the dude who sprouts muscle like weeds even when he’s on the “50-50 diet” (50% McDonald’s and 50% pizza)… and he never gets fat. (That dude chose the right parents!)

The fourth X factor is drugs. It would stun (or sadden) you if you knew how many people take performance and physique-enhancing drugs. I’m not just talking about pro bodybuilders, I’m talking about “Joe six pack” in the gym – not to mention those fitness models you idolize in the magazines. How did they get large muscle gains with concurrent fat loss? Chemicals.

I’m not a gambling man, but I’ll place a wager on this any day: I’ll bet that in 99% of the cases of large muscle gains with concurrent large fat losses, one or more of these x factors were present.

That’s not all! There are actually 5 more X factors related to your body composition and diet status (the X2 factors). But I’ll have to talk about those later.

So you’re not a beginner, you don’t take roids, you’re not a genetic freak and you have no muscle memory to take advantage of. Are you S.O.L? Well, I do want you to be realistic about your goals, but…

There IS a way for the average person to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time.

The Secret: You have to change your “temporal perspective!”

Traditionally nutritionists and fitness pros have only looked at calorie balance in terms of 24 hour periods. At midnight, you could tally up the calories like a shopkeeper closing out his register, and if the balance were positive, you’d say you were in a surplus for the day. If the balance were negative, you’d say you were in a deficit for the day.

But it’s entirely possible that you might pass through periods of “within-day” surplus where you were in a highly anabolic state (for example, you eat the biggest, highest carb meal of the day after your workout), and you were in a deficit the rest of the day.

If you did intense weight training, and you timed your nutrient intake appropriately, Isn’t it possible that you could gain a small amount of muscle during those anabolic hours, while losing fat the rest of the day? Granted it might only be grams or ounces – but what if you kept that up for a week? A month? Three months?

As you pan out and look at the bigger picture, what if most days of the week you were in a deficit for the entire day, and on some days you were in a surplus? If so, then isn’t it possible that over the course of the week, you’d have a small net gain of muscle and loss of body fat a a result of the caloric fluctuation?

These within-day and within-week phases are called microcycles and mesocycles. If you also had a primary goal with a longer term focus of several months, say 12 weeks or 16 weeks, that would be a macrocycle.

What I’ve just described is nutritional periodization. Some people call it cyclical dieting. it’s where you manipulate your calories (primarily by fluctuating carbohydrate intake, hence “carb cycling”) in order to intentionally zig zag your way through periods of surplus and deficit and create specific hormonal responses.

The end result: muscle gain and fat loss during the same time period!

I know that someone out there is having a hissy fit because I’ve only talked about calories: deficits and surpluses. Rightfully so. Calories matter but there’s more to it than calories – most importantly, hormones and “nutrient partitioning.”

If you’re in a calorie deficit you are going to pull energy from your body.The question is: From WHERE? If your hormones are out of whack and you’re eating crap, you could lose more muscle than fat in a deficit and gain almost pure fat, not muscle, in a surplus!

But WHAT IF you could manipulate within day energy balance, use nutritional periodization AND control your hormones with food and lifestyle strategies?

Make no mistake – concurrent muscle gain and fat loss is a difficult goal to achieve. The good news: difficult does not mean impossible. Or as George Santayana said, “The difficult is that which can be done immediately, the impossible, that which takes a little longer.”

My apologies. You can no longer get the Holy Grail eBook as a bonus to the Burn the fat ebook. However, I’ve written a review about this product that you can read here.

Even with the FTC clamping down on all these ridiculous claims made by supplement companies and fitness marketers…they don’t seem to care. An especially large company will simply launch a product, making bogus claims and risk getting caught by the FTC.

They might get caught, pay a fine, then re-launch the product with a different name. Apparently their profits outweigh their penalties! This is why Tom Venuto has created a guide based on science.

“The Holy Grail Body Transformation Program” does not present to you any outlandish claims. His testimonials and results are in fact real. Of course, you should be very careful into expecting the same results.

Realize that the only thing that will guarantee your success with any fat loss program is hard work, determination, and consistency. Without these three factors, any fitness information presented to you will be absolutely useless.

So if your goal is to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time, what Tom calls “The Holy Grail” than his short eBook is for you. He wanted this to be the final program on the matter (although it won’t be, since there will be tons of other copy cats lining up trying to sell you products based on bogus claims).

Tom’s new program is also somewhat of an update and the result of all the years of transformations he’s seen with his own eyes of highly motivated individuals applying the techniques that he’s taught through is original program, “Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle.”

Tom covers all this information and more in his brand new eBook, “The Holy Grail Body Transformation Program.” He’s giving this eBook away along with his Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle eBook.

But you must act quickly! You only have until March 5 to grab this free bonus. After March 5, Tom will re-launch the Holy Grail eBook as a separate product for $47!

My apologies. You can no longer get the Holy Grail eBook as a bonus to the Burn the fat ebook. However, I’ve written a review about this product that you can read here.

According to Tom Venuto, it’s absolutely impossible to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time RIGHT NOW. You can’t train for a week and put on 2 pounds of muscle and lose 2 pounds of fat within that week.

There is a time for everything. And that is exactly what Tom Venuto talks about in his brand new eBook, “The Holy Grail Body Transformation Program.” You see, gaining muscle mass and losing fat is only possible under certain, critical, optimal circumstances.

If you knew exactly what those circumstances were, you can create a situation where you had complete control over your nutrition and training in a way where it would seem as if you’re actually packing on muscle and losing fat AT THE SAME TIME!

What are these things that you can change and control for greater results? Well, that is exactly what Tom Venuto will reveal to you in his new program. You’re probably wondering why he wrote this eBook if he himself believes that you should focus on one thing at a time – first build muscle mass, then lose fat (or vise versa).

Well, there’s a few reasons why he wrote this program. First of all, he was getting tired of all the claims other fitness professionals were making about gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time.

He wanted to 1) see if there was any actual truth to what they were saying, and 2) if they were lieing to you, he wanted to expose them. It’s important for him to check these guys out because Tom knows that people buying these products are doing so with unrealistic expectations.

There are already hundreds of individuals who have decided to pursue the Holy Grail. You must make a decision on whether or not you wish to join them. But if you do join them, you must realize that the journey to achieving your goal will be challenging.

Even though body transformation is a tough journey, it will be made easier with the help of Tom Venuto. There are many different things going on with your body that you do not have time to think about as you go about your day.

For example, one of the biggest issues with a fat loss diet is muscle lose. Reducing calories and doing lots of cardio is not only a recipe for fast fat loss, but is also a recipe for quick reduction in muscle.

We all know how important maintaining your muscle mass is while trying to lose fat. In fact, this used to be my biggest issue when trying to improve my body composition.

This is one of the many issues that Tom Venuto addresses in “The Holy Grail Body Transformation Program.” This program was brought on by the problem of focusing on one goal at the same time, the way most people approach body transformation.

Traditionally, you are told to lose fat first, then build up lean muscle mass. However, the nutritional strategies are so different, that you end up losing muscle during your fat loss phase, and gaining fat during your mass gain phase.

In the last decade, we’ve seen numerous advances in our understanding of nutrient timing, cyclical dieting, and lifestyle strategies. More and more highly dedicated individuals are transforming their bodies without the use of illegal or dangerous substances.

One of these individuals is Josh Ketter, the winner of the 1st annual Burn the Fat Holiday Transformation contest, developed by Tom Venuto. In just 50 days, Josh was able to gain 8 lbs of lean muscle mass while dropping 7 lbs of fat.

This is a perfect example of someone gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time. The funny thing is that he wasn’t even trying to gain muscle mass. That’s just the way things happened by following Tom’s training and nutritional recommendations.

What Tom Venuto has done is take all the case studies of people he’s helped transform over the years and analyzed them to the minute detail to discover the age old question: how do you gain muscle and lose fat at the same time?

He’s created a great program to express his findings: “The Holy Grail Body Transformation Program.” This program is divided into six parts:

• Part One discuses the theory and science behind the program
• Part Two focuses on nutritional techniques such as nutrient timing and periodization
• Part Three revolves around weight training guidelines. He also reveals some key information about cardiovascular training.
• Part Four focuses on lifestyle factors which effect your results.
• Part Five provides you with some great sample meal plans and recipes.
• Part Six is where he gives a bonus workout program you can use as the backbone of your transformation

Some people are saying that it’s next to impossible to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. Others claim that they have come across the perfect program to do exactly that.

Well, who’s right and who’s wrong?

Tom Venuto used to be one of those individuals that said that fat loss and mass gain can not be achieved at once. You must be focus on one goal at a time. But now he says that this is possible.

What happened?

As he finally lost it? Is he just coming out with some brand new program to keep up with all of his competitors on the fitness market claiming that they can help you lose fat and gain muscle at the same time?

Is he scamming you?

Well…not really. You see, he’s seen so many incredible transformations since he first came out with his original program – “Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle,” that he’s realized that sometimes fat loss and mass gain happens at the same time – by accident?

One of these cases was when Josh Ketter was able to gain 7 lbs of lean muscle mass and lose 8 lbs of fat in 50 days – when his real goal was to drop fat! Imagine how incredible he looked after 7lbs of mass gain and 8 lbs of fat loss!

On the scale, he only lost 1 lb of weight. But we all know that the scale lies to us. The scale is the one that’s really scamming us out of our goals.
