This is a really thorough review of the book. I already own it but I wondered what was being said about it so I could point other people who ask me about the program to something without giving away the farm.

MARC,
Thanks so much for taking the time to review BFFM so thoroughly!
I've been hesitating, as many here, to buy the book. But I know Venuto's reputation is excellent.

You've helped me make up my mind, will get on this right away!
Thanks again,
Dedene

Well.... I've hit a bit of a mild plateu... I've lost 92 pounds on my own thing with alot of feedback from various members on this site such as Z, DanM and Marc... Its about time I take this a bit further and invest in this book...

My "tools" have been getting a bit dull lately and this should help me sharpen them back up and get down to the 20% BF I loath...

I'll post how this works out as I go through the program.

You can do that. BFFM is just an Adobe PDF. It's NOT one of those books that only allow you to save on a single computer.

You could download it and save it to a portable hard drive and have it printed out or take it to another computer as you suggested.

I am considering purchasing this ebook but I do not have a home computer. Can I download it from say a work computer or a public library computer and save it to a portable hard drive? Some ebooks only allow you to save on a single computer hard drive and I was wondering if BFFM was the same way.

Terri...

It is a great book and I am glad you liked it. It's the 1st book I printed out and put in a binder. I refer to it all the time.

The great thing about this ebook is that it doesnt tell you anything new but tells it in a new way.

Most of the stuff you know but you dont know why or the details.
It explains everything in a clear concise way.
I am at chapter 15 and i feel like it has changed the way i see food.

I'm confused about whether carrots and peas are starchy or fibrous carbohydrates. In chapter 14 of "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle" Tom Venuto lists carrots as starchy and peas as fibrous. Then in the appendix he lists peas as starchy and carrots as fibrous.

Which is correct? I'd hate to have my menu messed up because of a misprint. Also, is squash starchy or fibrous?

I've tried finding a correct list of starchy and fibrous carbohydrates online but each list seems to contradict the other list. Maybe you guys can help me out. Does anyone have a complete and reliable list of starchy and fibrous carbohydrates?

I found the following information which seems to point to carrots being fibrous, peas being fibrous, summer squash being fibrous, and winter squash being starchy:1 c carrot: 3.7 g fiber, 0.7 g starch

1 c peas: 9 g fiber, 7 g starch

1 c summer squash: 2.5 g fiber, 1.5 g starch

1 c winter squash: 5.7 g fiber, 8 g starch

I wholly recommend Tom Venuto's ebook by the way. Great information throughout the whole book.

In many ways not knowing the logic behind the lifestyle sabotages the best efforts to have a healthier body...

Brilliant! That is a great way to look at it.

I bought this book also... found it extremely helpful although the lifestyle change was quite a challenge...

Eating every three hours... someone asked about when a person should workout when they are doing this system... I asked Tom the same question in an email... if I recall, it wasn't so much about when in terms of spacing it around meals... He suggested some are able to wrokout an hour after a meal, some two hours, but he did suggest lean protein in the meal following.

I have gone through two sites, basically for advice on this topic... This book has a lot of reasoning behind the practices that we have heard a lot about. His discussion about carbs is extrememly valuable. So is his advice on supplemental workout foods and liquid calories. These were things I had not considered to be factor in body metabolism.

Even in eating natural foods, I find that I am able to select better foods from these already great food groups to get the kinds of results I am looking for.

As I said, it is a hard thing to get used to - eating every three hours 5-6 times... but as a friend of mine from weight watchers said, when I told hi about this program - 'every three hours... that's what my baby daughter does!'...

Buy this book if for no other reason than to gain a real understanding of many of the common dietary programs out there and gain some insight as to why you may have gotten SOME results from other programs, but not the kind of performance results you were looking for... In many ways not knowing the logic behind the lifestyle sabotages the best efforts to have a healthier body...

Just finished reading it (I actually got it because of the review on this forum!).

Overall a really good book. I don't have much to add since mda1125 did such a wonderful job.

Like other's have said, this information is already out there, Tom Venuto just did a good job of putting it together.

If you want to save some money take a look at Dr. John Berardi's articles (http://www.johnberardi.com/articles/nutrition/index.htm)

He has some of the same info contained in this book (e.g. A calorie is not a calorie, and the P+F / P+C food combinations). The info here isn't as detailed as the book so I would still recommend getting it.

I fully agree about the wonderful e-book that it is!
