What it says on the cover

Would you listen to Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle again? Why?

This is a regular listen, so much info, well presented and applicable.

What did you like best about this story?

The Author's own story told by him. Though it's a technical book rather than a story he is engaging and measured.

Which character – as performed by Tom Venuto – was your favourite?

Not applicable as this is a technical book but Tom is a good reader.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

How to stop being fat.

Any additional comments?

Bin the diets and fads this is real world information we all know works - eat less and exercise more - to get fit. The difference is Tom goes into the why's and how's, what works and what doesn't and how to make it work for us mere mortals who have a life outside the gym.

Quite Simply, Phenomenal

As someone who is relatively new to keeping fit and getting healthy, I'm soaking up every piece of advice I can get my hands on. Trouble is, so much of it is conflicting. What I needed was a level headed explanation of the health and fitness minefield backed up with facts, minus the typically biased opinion of the author.

I think this is it. And it's very comprehensive.

I listened to this book quicker than any other audiobook I have owned. Which is praise in itself. However, this book encouraged me to change my weekly workout routine due to its simple explanation of why I should and what I can expect if I do.

The change in my approach worked even better than I hoped/thought it would. However, on reflection, the most profound change was mentality. Somehow, the book has armed me with facts, details, knowledge and confidence that has ignited something inside me. All the different facets of health, fitness and nutrition have seeped into my subconscious so that I have far more positive, far more intense workouts - cardio and gym have both benefited massively.

Subsequently, I have purchased the book, too. :)

What a Genius this man is!!!!

What made the experience of listening to Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle the most enjoyable?

I am a qualified fitness instructor and currently studying personal training and clinical nutrition. This is the best audio book I have listened to and teaches you the correct methods of helping you get to the best shape in your life. The four principles of mental, cardio, resistance and nutrition training are very well explained in in good depth. I am now a follower of Tom venuto and hope to someday have the level of knowledge he has in order to help others get the best from a fit and healthy lifestyle.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The narrator Is great. Tom's first book used a different narrator which was a shame as tom's voice is much kinder to the ears and in a pleasant manner. Well done!!

What about Tom Venuto’s performance did you like?

Great performance.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Tom tells his story of how he archieved his goals from being a fattish guy to a many time winner of bodybuilding competitions. Great storyline.

Any additional comments?

The Bible of fat loss!!

What did you like most about Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle?

The truthful and direct approach to the subject of fitness and fat loss

What other book might you compare Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle to, and why?

There is no other book like this that I have found, and i have read alot.

What about Tom Venuto’s performance did you like?

The whole book is read with consistent vocal volume and enthusiasm but not too much, by this I mean there is no hype, and the advice given is sound and non preachy.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

yes, This audio book re-lit my fire to burn fat, I have tried and tried in the past and failed, I listened to the wrong people and read the wrong magazines and fell for the supplement hype. After applying the ideas and advice in this book I have already made significant changes in my body composition.

Any additional comments?

I had this book in PDF years ago and didn't read it, instead I read 'the magazines' promoting all sorts. I thoroughly regret not reading it. If you're reading this and have been struggling with fat loss then don't think just buy this, you won't regret it.

Hmm unsure

I’m only on chapter 3 so far no real information and looking at the Accompanying PDF it doesn’t cater for people with a vegan or vegetarian diet, but I’ll stick with it for apparently the most important part of the book the mental state…

Comprehensive and motivating

Although the audio version seems to be read from an Americanised older version of this book. I was still able to follow it and will re-read the sections around diet and weight training as well as goal setting. It's certainly very comprehensive and I would urge everyone to also buy the book which has the meal and training plans as well as tracking tools.

Life changing for those with the mental capacity to change

The level of detail in this book is just at the right level for the average fitness enthusiast. I'm a personal trainer and I easily followed this but my partner needed areas explained.
Mainly focused on performance athletes or those wishing to be but all the same a good level of detail over mental, nutritional and physical aspects of the healthy lifestyle.

Really good book

Best book about fitness and nutrition that I have read in years. It's like a bible for me which I can refer to.
