Part 3 - An Exclusive Interview With Fat Loss Expert Tom Venuto By Tom Nicoli

Skyrocket Your Fat Loss Success!

Tom Nicoli: You know, that information is fantastic. When I work with people (and as a hypnotherapist, I’m working with te mind exclusively, which leads to what the bosy can do as we change behabiors), my most difficult time with weight-loss clients, I have to tell you, is reframing their way of thinking. That is, it’s not about weight, it’s about fat, and that this is not a timeframe situation. That the time will pass regardless, and depending on what we do today will dictate the results over time.

So there is obviously the one proven result, one proven method, and that is healthy eating and exercise. And even the FDA has put out a report, and it was put out a long time ago, but was again recently updated, which warns people of the dangers of magic pills, the magice bullet, and how harmful and potentially dangerous taking that approach of getting the quick fix can be. But what you and I both realize is that we’re up against the impatience of human nature and this instant gratification society we live in, but yet life isn’t an instant. Life is ongoing, and that’s what people are missing. Aren’t they?

Tom Venuto: Yes, absolutely.

Tom Nicoli: I know that too many times people are either overwhelmed with information they really can’t apply, or they don’t receive anything that can really help them. You say that what you’ve developed is a 100% guranteed system for losing body fat, based on the little-known nutrition secrets of bodybuilders. Will you share a few of your best nutrition secrets with our listeners right now?

Tom Venuto: Yes, absolutely. But first, I do think you hit on an important point there when you said, “most people are overwhelmed with information.”

You know, in this day and age, the problem isn’t the lack of information. It’s too much information. Som sometimes I think that looking for “the little known secrets,” if you mean the little details, can, in the beginning, be detrimental and actually cause what I call “paralysis by analysis.” Paralysis by analysis is where people are afraid to start, they’re afraid to make a mistake, they’re afraid to look foolish, or they’re afraid to fail, so they don’t do anything at all until they have all the details first, or because they have too many little details and it’s so overwhelming, they don’t know where to start.

I think that details matter, and there are some nutrition methods you could certainly call secrets that most people in the general public aren’t aware of. But before you get into those details, I think is’t more important to focus on the more “obviious” fundamentals.

There’s something called “The Pareto Principle,” which is also known as the 80/20 rule. It was created by Economist Vilfredo Pareto in the beginning of the 16th Century, and to paraphrase him, he said that you have to separate the vital few things from the trivial many things. In other words, the very first thing you have to do is maste the fundamentals before you worry about little details or “secrets.”

In my fat loss system, there are fours fundamental pillars that must support your program. The first one is strength Training; the second is Cardio Trainng; the third is Nutrition; and the fourth is Mental Training, wich we already touched on. If you’re missing any one of those four, then all the attention to details and all the cutting edge nutrition secrets in the world aren’t going to help you. Most people just go on diets, and what we don’t need is another diet. We need to change our habits, change our behaviors, and change our lifestyles.

What’s missing from most weight loss programs is the exercise part. I believe that it’s better to burn the fat than starve the fat. When you starve the fat with strict diets and you cut calories too low, it works initially, and you see that very gratifying initial drop on the scale. But what happens to everyone eventually is you plateau, because your body adapts, and your metabolism adjusts to the reduced food intake. Your body thinks you’re starving, so your body just starts burning fewer calories. Strength training and exercise help because strength training increases your lean body mass. It helps you keep your muscle, which prevents your metabolism from slowing down. It also allows you to eat a little bit more. So instead of a severe cut in calories, you’re burning the fat instead of starving the fat.

Tom Nicoli: Tom, I’m going to stop you right there, because I think people need to hear that again, because I know – and I’m sure you’ve experienced this – that people are floored when they hear “you can eat more.” They’re so used to starving themselves and, as you know from your education and training in hypnosis and NLP, the subconscious, instinctive part of us goes right into that survival mode and doesn’t release anything, thinking we can’t find or kill food.

Tom Venuto: Exactly.

Tom Nicoli: So, continue, please.

Tom Venuto: Well, you start with these four fundamentals – I like to think of them as pillars, because they literally hold up your success – and without all of them in place at the same time, you’re in a precarious position where success could easily collapse and crumble.
