Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle: Tom Venuto & Adam Waters Live



At risk of receiving low carb hate mail, (AND BOY DID I!) I had to post this. It's NOT anti-low carb, it merely

looks upon the latest low fat versus low carb study without a jaded and preconceived viewpoint.

I've said this before, I tend to listen to and follow the advice and lifestyles of "experts" who look fit. Not other

dieters - mostly the non-resistance training folks - don't reach goal or they look unfit.

Tom Venuto rocks (he's also rock hard) and he makes some valid points in his latest post
href="http://www.burnthefat.com">at Burn The Fat. And if you're serious about being fit subscribe to his free

newsletter and buy his books. I highly recommend them.

* What the new "low carb study REALLY says"

A news media feeding frenzy erupted earlier this week when a new dietstudy
broke in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) on Thursday, July 17th.

Almost all the reporters got it wrong, wrong WRONG! So did most of the gloating
low carb forumites and bloggers. Come to think of, almost everyone interpreted
this study wrong.

Some valuable insights came out of this study, but almost everyone missed them
because they were too busy believing what the news said or defending their own
cherished belief systems ...

See what this study REALLY said on the Burn The Fat Blog:

Happy Fourth Of July, Recipes & Links

Happy 4th Of July!

May we remember this weekend that one of our greatest blessings is freedom.

Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die. ~Dwight D. Eisenhower


Liberty is the possibility of doubting, of making a mistake,... of searching and experimenting,... of saying No to any authority - literary, artistic, philosophical, religious, social, and even political. ~Ignazio Silone, The God That Failed, 1950


Liberty: One of Imagination's most precious possessions. ~Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary

Let’s revisit a classic by Dave Draper, THE SECRET IS THERE IS NO SECRET

There are basically two types of people who use weight training for fitness. Type A, the driven and type B, the not-so-driven. Though the degrees of difference vary, I know that for those of you of the A type, it would be an act of cruelty to keep you from your workout - an absolute impossibility, like stopping the movement of a glacier or the stampede of wild horses.

And then there are amongst you of the B type, neither lazy nor irresponsible, who can't seem to make it to the gym (or the garage) on a regular basis. You have a long list of reasons why you can't and some of them are even pretty good. It is to this larger half of the population to whom I speak.

To be effective, exercise must be consistent. This is the first and foremost precept of physical conditioning. If there's a secret, it's consistency. Don't quote me on this, but I believe bad exercise, badly executed consistently is far better than no exercise at all. Getting to the gym whether you want to or not, even for a short appearance, a salute or a bow is vitally important to the health of your fitness lifestyle. A break in consistency leads to the erosion of your training foundations, and without sound foundations no structure will stand. Read more.
