Part 6 - An Exclusive Interview With Fat Loss Expert Tom Venuto By Tom Nicoli

Skyrocket Your Fat Loss Success!

Tom Nicoli: So Tom, tell us: How much time is needed for your system?

Tom Venuto: Well, one of the things you have to do first is look at this as a lifestyle change, not a temporary change. There are new things you’re going to have to do everyday. What you ultimately want is for the things you need to do every day to become habits, where they’re completely ingrained into your lifestyle. Especially on the nutrition side of things, you want to get to the point where you don’t have to think about them consciously anymore. So you’re reaching for the right foods and taking the right actions every single day, automatically, just as easily as you would take a shower, or brush your teeth or get dressed in the morning. These are behaviors that are ongoing, so I wouldn’t look at them in terms of a time investment as much as habit development and lifestyle change.

If your perspective is, “Okay, I’m going to be on this diet for 12 weeks,” and you say, “This is going to take 12 weeks of my time,” I think you’re setting yourself up for failure. What happens on day one of week 13? You have to have a long-term perspective. It’s got to be a part of your life. You’re going to eat the same fods as a lifestyle whe you want to maintain your results for the rest of your life as you do when you want to lose body fat. The difference is, you’re going to eat a little bit less, you’re going to eat smaller portions, and you’re going to exercise more.

In terms of time required for your exercise program, you can really get good results with as little as three days a week, 45 minutes to an hour. What you must do during the time you spend is make some time for some strength training and for some time for cardio training. Both need to be a priority.

Now, when your goal is fat loss and losing fat at the maximum rate, it’s beneficial to add additional cardio, beyound three days a week, but as I mentioned earlier, the amount should be based on your results. It’s hard to put a specific number on how much time it’s going to take, but in general, I think that everybody should be committing themselves to about three days a week and making that a part of their lifestyle.

If you want to burn more calories in order to increase fat loss, then you can do the cardiovascular workouts more often. I know some people who exercise every day or do it six days a week with one complete rest day per week. Ultimately, however, there is no magic number of days per week or minutes per day. What you must do is adjust your exercise frequency and duration according to your results. My Burn The Fat program explains exactly how to do that.
