			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Almost everyone knows about the biggest loser &#8211; that reality show/ wt loss contest on TV where overweight people drop ridiculous amounts of weight &#8211; like 15 or 20 lbs in a week, and 150 or 200 lbs by the time the show is over.</p>
<p>This past January the guys at over at the Burn the Fat websites completed their first ever body transformation challenge contest. I myself, was a contestant!</p>
<p>But their contest was NOTHING like the biggest loser.</p>
<p>In fact, Josh Ketter, the overall men&#8217;s winner, and Ryan Cochrane, one of the finalists, only lost a pound.</p>
<p>Now, you must be thinking, &#8220;what the heck kind of weird body transformation contest were they running where the winner and the finalists only drop a pound?</p>
<p>Well, it would seem weird if you thought that success at body transformation meant dropping weight on the scale</p>
<p>But did you ever stop to think about the difference between fat weight and muscle weight?</p>
<p>Think about it &#8211; if those contestants on the biggest loser gain muscle &#8211; they get penalized, right?</p>
<p>Penalize someone for gaining muscle?</p>
<p>Shouldn&#8217;t contestants be REWARDED for gaining muscle as well as burning fat?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the problem with wt loss contests today and with a lot of people in the industry in general &#8211; they are obsessed with scale weight but they don&#8217;t pay any attention to body composition (the fat-to-muscle ratio).</p>
<p>Of course, some of the contestants in that contest did drop a lot of fat &#8211; 15, 20, even 25 lbs in only 50 days. But the person who dropped the most pounds was NOT necessarily voted as the winner.</p>
<p>That explains how the judging was done &#8211; some of the winners were rewarded because they made tremendous improvements in their body composition, even though their scale weight didn&#8217;t change that much.</p>
<p>Josh lost 8 pounds of fat and gained 7 pounds of muscle in just 50 days.  He only lost a pound on the scale because the muscle weight replaced the fat weight.</p>
<p>Ryan Cochrane lost 8 pounds of fat while gaining 7.7 lbs of muscle in 50 days. His weight hardly changed.</p>
<p>Sarah kensington actually GAINED a pound, from 119 to 120 but her body fat decreased from 19% to a ripped 12.6%. Thats a 7.9 pound GAIN in lean body mass and a 7 pound loss of body fat &#8211; remarkable for a MAN, almost unheard of for a woman!</p>
<p>When you look at their before and after pictures, you can see that even though their weight changed by less than a pound, they TOTALLY TRANSFORMED THEIR BODIES!</p>
<p>How?</p>
<p>They gained muscle and lost fat at the same time!</p>
<p>Maybe you&#8217;re thinking, &#8220;wait a minute, I thought it was impossible to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time? Don&#8217;t you need a calorie deficit to burn fat and a calorie surplus to build muscle?&#8221;</p>
<p>Well, yes and no. Calories do matter, but according to fat loss expert Tom Venuto, the guy who sponsored the recent body composition fitness contest, it&#8217;s much more complicated than that because of things like within-day energy balance, hormonal fluctuations and &#8220;energy partitioning.&#8221;</p>
<p>It was these unusual contest results that prompted Tom to dig into the scientific research on concurrent muscle gain and fat loss and create a new program that he calls:</p>
<p>&#8220;THE HOLY GRAIL BODY TRANSFORMATION SYSTEM:<br />
How to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time&#8221;</p>
<p>This is not an easy goal to achieve &#8211; So I&#8217;m sorry, but I have no miracle for you. If you&#8217;re looking for magic bullets, go elsewhere. This is a serious and very strategic program.</p>
<p>Concurrent muscle gain and fat loss is the most difficult goal to achieve.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why people call it the &#8220;holy grail&#8221;; because it&#8217;s so elusive.</p>
<p>BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE: IT IS POSSIBLE.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard this subject debated ad nauseum on discussion forums. Those debates probably left you confused and not sure what to believe either.</p>
<p>This new ebook sets the record straight in such a way that you could say it&#8217;s the LAST WORD on gaining muscle and burning fat at the same time; it&#8217;s impressively referenced with peer-reviewed research and frankly, it just makes sense.</p>
<p>Tom Venuto&#8217;s previous best selling ebook, Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle (BFFM) has become known to many as a &#8220;fat loss bible&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://clutterb.burnthefat.hop.clickbank.net">Click here to see for yourself!</a></p>
<p>But BFFM is designed specifically for fat loss.<br />
what if you want to lose fat AND gain muscle?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s exactly why this new program was created.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the first course of it&#8217;s kind that builds on the techniques of BFFM and teaches a system for gaining muscle and burning fat simultaneously, and explains the process scientifically.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re skeptical, I don&#8217;t blame you. Even I was skeptical when I heard about it.</p>
<p>But when you see BOTH; real-world case studies AND the scientific proof, it makes you want to stop and take a look.</p>
<p>Right now the 1st edition of Tom’s new HOLY GRAIL body transformation ebook is available for just the next 2 days in limited release.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s actually not even for sale separately yet.</p>
<p>What Tom decided to do was offer the holy grail ebook as bonus with the purchase of his Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle ebook.</p>
<p>The Holy Grail ebook is available only for the next 2 days at:</p>
<p><a href="http://clutterb.burnthefat.hop.clickbank.net">www.BurnTheFat.com</a></p>
<p>(offer expires on Friday march 5th, 2010)</p>
<p>On March 6th, he&#8217;s going to take the holy grail course off the market for a while, to correspond with some of his new customers and collect feedback and case studies to incorporate in the 2nd edition.</p>
<p>Then the grail ebook will be officially re-released later this year at the regular retail price.</p>
<p>So, this is a great opportunity to pick up Tom&#8217;s fat loss bible AND get the holy grail ebook for fr-ree at the same time.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to be in this first wave of people to try this new combined muscle-building and fat burning system, this is the ONLY way to order at the moment:</p>
<p><a href="http://clutterb.burnthefat.hop.clickbank.net">www.BurnTheFat.com</a></p>
<p><a href="http://clutterb.burnthefat.hop.clickbank.net"></a><br />
Purchase a copy of Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle ebook, and the HOLY GRAIL body transformation ebook comes along with BFFM for fr-ee.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Karen</p>
<p><strong>PS. You may have already heard of Tom&#8217;s Burn the Fat, Feed the<br />
Muscle book before, so if you already have it, the other way you<br />
can get his new Holy Grail program is by joining the Burn the Fat<br />
Inner Circle &#8211; all members there are also getting access to it<br />
this week up until Friday the 5th. More info on Tom&#8217;s inner circle at:</strong></p>
