Part 9 - An Exclusive Interview With Fat Loss Expert Tom Venuto By Tom Nicoli

Skyrocket Your Fat Loss Success!

Tom Nicoli: You just mentioned powders and whole foods. That went by quickly, but I think it’s very important to go back to that for a moment.

We can walk into a store and let’s pick one of the – we won’t say the brand name – but a store that’s very popular, and there are walls and walls and walls of powders and mixes and shakes. I’m sure that there’s a benefit to introducing some of these products to your body. However, a lot of people will omit the foods and replace with these powders. Please speak on that for a moment.

Tom Venuto: Sure. Some of the products may have functional properties or health benefits, and many are great for convenience like protein powder, or meal replacement products, which usually come in a packet and have protein and carbs, and you make it into a shake and “drink your meal.” But some people overdo it. The idea of two shakes a day and a so-called healthy dinner, that’s not effective. What you want to do is emphasize whole foods first. When you have a choice, choose whole foods over supplements.

Tom Nicoli: I don’t think I’ve ever heard that before, Tom. That’s enlightening.

Tom Venuto: Well, there’s so much push for supplements these days and so much advertising, that I’m not surprised you haven’t heard it before.

Tom Nicoli: The profit margin dictates, right?

Tom Venuto: Right. I emphasize food because no supplement, powder, drink, or meal replacement will ever be better than real food. I don’t emphasize supplements because I’m not associated or affiliated with any supplement company. When you read my book, you’ll realize that it’s not just a promotional vehicle to sell supplements. Most of the advice you read these days serves the bottom line of a supplement or diet pill company rather than serving your body. You can get everything you need from whole foods. Supplements should be used for convenience.

Now, the five or six small meals a day is the biggest challenge for most people. Clients tell me, “How do you do it?” Five or six meals means you’re eating every three hours.” The meal replacement can be really beneficial in situations where you have a hard time getting all the meals in. If you’re traveling, you simply replace one or maybe at the most two of the meals with a meal replacement shake, and that can allow you to easily get the five or six small meals into a busy day.
