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!

But their contest was NOTHING like the biggest loser.

In fact, Josh Ketter, the overall men’s winner, and Ryan Cochrane, one of the finalists, only lost a pound.

Now, you must be thinking, “what the heck kind of weird body transformation contest were they running where the winner and the finalists only drop a pound?

Well, it would seem weird if you thought that success at body transformation meant dropping weight on the scale

But did you ever stop to think about the difference between fat weight and muscle weight?

Think about it – if those contestants on the biggest loser gain muscle – they get penalized, right?

Penalize someone for gaining muscle?

Shouldn’t contestants be REWARDED for gaining muscle as well as burning fat?

That’s the problem with wt loss contests today and with a lot of people in the industry in general – they are obsessed with scale weight but they don’t pay any attention to body composition (the fat-to-muscle ratio).

Of course, some of the contestants in that contest did drop a lot of fat – 15, 20, even 25 lbs in only 50 days. But the person who dropped the most pounds was NOT necessarily voted as the winner.

That explains how the judging was done – some of the winners were rewarded because they made tremendous improvements in their body composition, even though their scale weight didn’t change that much.

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.

Ryan Cochrane lost 8 pounds of fat while gaining 7.7 lbs of muscle in 50 days. His weight hardly changed.

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 – remarkable for a MAN, almost unheard of for a woman!

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!

How?

They gained muscle and lost fat at the same time!

Maybe you’re thinking, “wait a minute, I thought it was impossible to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time? Don’t you need a calorie deficit to burn fat and a calorie surplus to build muscle?”

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’s much more complicated than that because of things like within-day energy balance, hormonal fluctuations and “energy partitioning.”

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:

“THE HOLY GRAIL BODY TRANSFORMATION SYSTEM:
How to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time”

This is not an easy goal to achieve – So I’m sorry, but I have no miracle for you. If you’re looking for magic bullets, go elsewhere. This is a serious and very strategic program.

Concurrent muscle gain and fat loss is the most difficult goal to achieve.

That’s why people call it the “holy grail”; because it’s so elusive.

BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE: IT IS POSSIBLE.

I’m sure you’ve heard this subject debated ad nauseum on discussion forums. Those debates probably left you confused and not sure what to believe either.

This new ebook sets the record straight in such a way that you could say it’s the LAST WORD on gaining muscle and burning fat at the same time; it’s impressively referenced with peer-reviewed research and frankly, it just makes sense.

Tom Venuto’s previous best selling ebook, Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle (BFFM) has become known to many as a “fat loss bible”

Click here to see for yourself!

But BFFM is designed specifically for fat loss.
what if you want to lose fat AND gain muscle?

That’s exactly why this new program was created.

It’s the first course of it’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.

If you’re skeptical, I don’t blame you. Even I was skeptical when I heard about it.

But when you see BOTH; real-world case studies AND the scientific proof, it makes you want to stop and take a look.

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.

It’s actually not even for sale separately yet.

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.

The Holy Grail ebook is available only for the next 2 days at:

www.BurnTheFat.com

(offer expires on Friday march 5th, 2010)

On March 6th, he’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.

Then the grail ebook will be officially re-released later this year at the regular retail price.

So, this is a great opportunity to pick up Tom’s fat loss bible AND get the holy grail ebook for fr-ree at the same time.

If you’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:

www.BurnTheFat.com

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.

Sincerely,

Karen

Around six months ago, I decided to finally get myself healthy and fit but was so disappointed at the lack of ‘real’ information on health and fitness.  I’m over the magical mark of age 40 and I know that fad diets just left me fatter than before, but what I had failed to take into consideration was the fact that my metabolism had been slowed to such an extent that my ‘internal fire’ was no more than a glowing ember.

All that is changing. Thanks to select experts in the field of fitness and weight loss, we are now able to stoke that fire to full capacity.

Q.     Who are these experts?

A.      Tom Venuto – BurnTheFat.com

Jon Benson – JonBenson.com

Carolyn Hansen – HotMetabolism.com

They don’t believe in gimmicks, unsafe dieting or extreme measures. They ARE experts with years of experience, testimonials and proven results. And that is why I have chosen to promote them; we all deserve to have the best body and life that is possible for us without the overpriced and under-delivered nonsense that is constantly rebranded and recirculated. Products that leave you hungry, desperate and craving sugar even more.

I personally follow the Every Other Day Diet (EODD) program from Jon Benson, but also incorporate the meal plans from Carolyn Hansen (she offers a fantastic vegetarian plan that I absolutely LOVE even though I eat meat also.  Tom Venuto is master of motivation for me – his books are great when you realize that you need to focus and set proper goals with realistic expectations.

These guys don’t just talk the talk, they walk the walk.  Both Tom and Jon are former fat guys and have turned their lives completely around – they understand how you feel and support you each step of the way.

You are not left alone. As soon as you receive your products, you are on the list to receive free updates, fresh information, continued support and motivation and bonus products worth much more than the initial cost price of your program.

I can’t praise them enough so why don’t you find out for yourself? I have put together a detailed bio of each on my website.

These experts are gaining weight and slowly pushing the nonsensical fads aside – exasperated dieters the world over are beginning to realize that the quick fix solutions just don’t work; what does is correct nutrition and safe exercise suited to individual needs.

ps During my website launch phase (1st October 2009 – 1st January 2010), I am offering a free complementary gift pack worth $47 to anyone who purchases a product from either Tom, Jon or Carolyn through my site.

And what’s more, you can choose your gifts from a list of 3 categories:

Increasing Metabolism

Muscle Building/Weight Gain

Healthy Eating Ideas and Recipes

…the choice is yours! Once you have ordered, just email me at healthygifts@gmail.com with your receipt number, product purchased, gift category required and your name and I will send you your gifts.

pps Early next year, I will be putting together a membership site/forum so that we can get together and discuss what’s working and what’s not.  I will be looking for a moderator and contributors – joint ventures offers welcome.

ppps Look out for my mail in just a couple of days – there is another great health and fitness freebie event hosted by Carolyn Hansen about to kick off this weekend – bigger and better than ever before !!!!

pppps Sorry for the length of this mail – future posts will be much smaller
