I was previously paying $400 per month for supplements and the gym to lose weight. I was virtually living inside that sweaty-air-deprived gym all the time. The supplements were so expensive since my former instructors kept adding me more and the diets didn't even seem to work. I had reached a plateau after only loosing 10lbs. I had to act fast.

I met a long lost friend of mine who looked like they had just been chiseled out of an oak tree. I had know him for years but we parted ways and it had been 5 years since I saw him last. He used to be the laughing stock as he was 260lbs and seemed to get bigger. And the guy could eat his way through four MacDonald's buggers and still say hungry after 30 minutes. We teased him and chided him. That was then.

We met in a bank as he served me and I was almost walking away when he called my name. I could hear the cling of my own lower jaw on the floor when I realized it was Tim. Jeez, this guy looked like he just went through a giant pencil sharpener. He looked at me and laughed jeeringly. This time the joke was on me. I had over time built a stock of myself to 230lbs.

Anyway, later he explained to me that he was using Tom Venturo's 'Burn the fat, Feed the muscle' program. I couldn't believe it. I was sold the minute I saw Tim in that designer trim suit. 'Gimme, gimme, gimme,' I said. I could tell he was having a great time saying 'its my turn now, you ugly goat'.

I joined the program that afternoon and was amazed at Venturo's accomplishments. All naturally, this guy had like 5 affiliations to professional fitness bodies, had a Bsc. In Exercise Science. He had won 2nd place in the Mr. Natural America and North America. And had tried the exact program he trained on himself. The six pack abs this guy has on his website actually convinced me before I even paid the one time $ 40 membership.

The most important things that, one year from now, I came to understand is that most people trying to lose weight don't know how to read, manage and control their metabolism. Heck, many others don't even know what on earth this biology term 'meta...something has to do with their Atkins or the Zone diets. They are perennially addicted to their diets and they seem to have hit a plateau where no more weight is being lost.

Once I understood, this one principle, I shed weight like clothes in my shower and fast. In the first week I had done 15lbs and the rest is history.

I want to recommend this program to you if you feel your efforts have hit a snag. If you spent far too much money on supplements or a re virtually living in a gym. Get it and see what happens after 1 week. The Red Cross and Salvation Army will be sending you personal thank you notes for the amount of clothes you will be taking their way. You lose sizes fast.
