As I develop nutrition plans for my patients I will frequently reference the precepts outlined in Tom Venuto's brilliant e-book Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle. Honestly, I found this e-book to be a very approachable and comprehensive volume dealing with nutrition, exercise and hormonal physiology.(I would highly recommend this e-book for anyone who wants a more detailed explanation of macronutrients, hormonal physiology, and meal planning.)However, The Body Fat Solution is an indispensable development to this excellent work.
In my experience patients do not struggle as much with "what to do" but rather struggle with "the doing of it".In the first few consultations with a new patient I can usually disarm the passionate obsession with whatever flavor of macronutrient phobia they have and outline the physiological rational behind consistently eating a calorie based diet of lean protein, whole unprocessed foods, and essential fats.In this motivational clinical setting most patients will readily agree to begin journaling and commit to starting an exercise and nutrition program.
However, the problems arise as soon as they leave my office and are once again buffeted by their busy schedule, advertising, misleading labels, psychological defense mechanisms and emotional ties to eating.Most of the time I spend on subsequent patient visits centers on developing strategies of how to interface the program we have developed into their lifestyle.The strategies revealed in The Body Fat Solution do an excellent job addressing these issues.
The Body Fat Solution outlines all of the necessary tactics to tackle these intangible influences on our nutrition and exercise plans.The first four chapters outline the evolution of obesity and how our beliefs, attitudes and emotional ties to food play a significant role in this unhealthy homeostasis.In chapter five you are taken step-by-step through the essential process of goal setting and reprogramming your mental awareness of the beliefs and attitudes that can sabotage your plans.Then in chapters six through eight you are treated to 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!Finally chapters nine through twelve outline all the necessary environmental and social strategies needed to start you on the way to maintaining your new and healthy self.
Quoting The Body Fat Solution, "There is no way around it - to tackle a problem like body fat, which has so many causes, you must make changes in every area of your life.You have to eat better, train consistently, manage your emotions, change your thinking, get the support you need, and put it all together in a healthy lifestyle."I couldn't agree more.In my opinion The Body Fat Solutions gives you all the necessary tools to do just that.
