Part 2 - An Exclusive Interview With Fat Loss Expert Tom Venuto By Tom Nicoli
Skyrocket Your Fat Loss Success!
Tom Nicoli: You know, Tom, that leads me to mention something I learned about you, which was quite surprising at first, about how you do cover all aspects of yourself. What many people listening don’t know is that you’re not the typical fitness expert. What I mean by that is, like myself, you’re trained in neurolinguistic programming (NLP) and hyposis, the mind technique for change. So let me ask you, why did you go into the area of developing your mnd as well as being this expert in physical development?
Tom Venuto: Well, the mind is really the missing link for so many people who are trying to reach their fitness goals. If you know where you are now and you know where you want to go and you want to change, what’s missing are the resources and the tools you need to get to your destination. For example, if you want to travel and you know where you are and where you want to go, the car and the map and the itineary are the resources that you need. To get in shape, the first resource you need is information. You need nutrition and training information, or what Napoleon Hill called “specialized knowledge.”
What I’ve discovered is that some people will learn the nutrition and training information, and they’ll take that ball and run with it, and they will reach all their goals and be very successful. But I also see many people get the exact same information and resources as other people, and yet there’s still something missing. They’re blocked, and they can’t seem to reach their goals. They can’t apply the information or they apply it inconsistently, or they sabotage themselves in one form or another.
The diffreence between those two people is on a psychological level. You have to approach fitness and health and reaching your ideal weight on both the physical and on the mental planes. There could be a variety of things holding people back: negative programming being put in, old conditioning, limiting beliefs, secondary gain (which is some kind of strong reason to stay the same), poor self-image, lack of clarity in values and priorities. All these ting are mostly on a subconscious level.
Tom Nicoli: This is fantastic, because it all ties in. Everything you ust said ties in with the whole purpose of me creating SkyrocketPersonalSuccess.com, where people who are visiting this site and hearing these intervies, are seeing that we are offering all these areas of attention and information. Because, as you said, it’s almost as if people find just one thing to latch onto. That would pretty much be like having a steering wheel, but not having he accelerator, or having some form of transportation, but not all the components. That’s fantastic.
Now, I know you’ve been a bodybuilder for 20 years. Does your Burn The Fat syste lend itself only to someone who’s interested in bodybuilding and self-image? Or is it for anyone simply wanting to be healthier?
Tom Venuto: What I teach is for everyone, for health as well as for looks. I have heard some people say that they shied away from my material at first because they that I was a bodybuilder. They figured, “Oh, well, I’m not a bodybuilder, so it’s not for me.” Or they got intimidated whey they saw the word “bodybuilder,” because my book is subtitled “Fat burning secrets of the world’s best bodybuilders and fitness models.” I thin it would probably be more accurate if I changed the subtitle to, “What every man and woman can learn from bodybuilders about permanent fat loss.”
What I did as I just found and modeled the most successful people. It was simply a matter of finding people who had achieved the right outcome and then copying what they did. I know from having been a bodybuilder for so many years that bodybuilders were the best people to model, because they don’t just focus on weight loss. Out of necessity, they must focus on keeping muscle while losing the fat, and that’s a very key distinction.
The conventional diets, which are what most people gravitate toward because that’s what’s most advertised in the mainstream media, are very much focused on scale weight and pounds. I’m sure you’ve seen the ads, “Lose 30 pounds in 30 days,” or “Lose 9 pounds every 11 days, or this one’s very common, especially with the low-carb diets – “Lose 8 to 15 pounds your first two weeks.” It sounds great, but you really can’t lose 8 to 15 pounds of body fat in two weeks. If they say the weights is fat, than these are bogus claims, ad I know the FTC will agree when they catch them. If you do lose that much weight, you mght lose a few pounds of fat, several pounds of muscle and a lot of water. Bt that’s entirely the wrong goal. So I think it’s important that you choose the right goal and the right role models. Bodybuilders have a system for losing fat and keeping muscle, that no mainstream diet program can touch with a ten-foot pole, and that’s what I teach to anybody and everybody.
It’s not even a diet program: it’s a lifestyle, really. It’s a way of eating and exercising that you stick with for the rest of your life, not for the next 30 days or the next 12 weeks. It’s incredibly effective, and it achieves the right outcome, keeping the muscle and losing the fat.
So these principles can be applied by anyone, and I don’t think anyone should be intimidated by the word “bodybuilding.” I mean, if you think about it, anybody who picks up even a 5 or 10 pound dumbell is bodybuilding. Lift weights, and you’re building your body.
