Pros:

• The book is exceptionally well researched.

  Mr. Sisson truly outdoes himself with the number of sources he uses in supporting his points. The benefit is you can have some peace of mind in knowing that these are not just beliefs of one man, but a large body of ever-growing evidence attests to the dangers of the normal, civilized diet and the benefits of going more primal.  You will be shocked when you read about: the dangers of over prescribed medications, the easy, but often concealed solutions to everyday health issues like colds, and how to enjoy an active life well into your 70′s and 80′s.

• You come away with a complete diet and exercise plan.

  This is not one of those teaser books that is just going to leave you hanging and having to buy more stuff to get the full benefit.  Sisson explains in his book that losing fat, living a long, healthy life, and looking great are 80% due to what goes into your body.  Imagine a system that helps you realize the fullness of your genetic potential. When you sign up for his newsletter, you get a detailed program of how to move and exercise in a way that perfectly compliments your new lifestyle.  The great thing is no gym is needed.  You will find out how to get a great workout without ever lifting a dumbbell. This approach saves you both time and money.

• The evidence is overwhelming.

  The amount and quality of testimonials on Mark’s blog www.MarksDailyApple.com is simply astounding.  Of all the programs I have tried and reviewed, this program has some of the most impressive personal stories I have ever seen.  Even better, people are also reporting decreased pain and sickness as well as other perks like sleeping better.  The crazy thing about Mark’s book is he is not the first one to advocate this kind of lifestyle.  He is, however, the first person who has assembled a total system that will let you maximize your health and physique.  Imagine getting the kind of body you have always wanted and in the process getting better sleep, having more energy, and getting sick less.

Cons:

• Replacing junk food and grains with quality organic produce and meat is expensive.

  Isn’t it interesting that the foods that are killing you are actually the cheapest and easiest to come by?  Once you get over the irony of this dietary injustice, get ready for your grocery bill to go up.  The good news is the increase shouldn’t be too much to handle once you get rid of all bread and junk food buying.  Primal Blueprint shows you how to manage your food budget to keep cost down by selecting the best kinds of groceries at the best price. While not everyone will be able to go completely organic and cage free, simply changing your diet to the recommended kinds of foods will still produce results.

• You will go against societal norms.

  Believe it or not, people in your life will be shocked by your decision to practically abandon grain (I say practically because of the 80/20 principle discussed in the book).  You will catch flack about your new lifestyle, but take heart in the fact that you are about to reveal a superior lifestyle to those who you love the most.  Stick with it and results will come.  In the end, you will be the one with the smile on your face asking why everyone is so tired after gorging on a bread basket.

• You will experience strong cravings.

  Give primal a good two to three weeks to take root.  In that time, you will experience cravings for the grain and junk that you have left behind. It is imperative that you stay pure primal during this transition.  Once the given amount of time has elapsed, your cravings for the old should have subsided and you will start craving things like fresh fruit and steak (although maybe not at the same time).  Also, if you cheat in these first few weeks, just start the clock over again.  Cravings are more psychological than anything.  So, by indulging your old ways, you have just recharged your desire for those foods.  Stay strong and soon enough you will start to think of carrots as sweet.

While my personal journey going primal has just begun, I believe this solution to be one that would solve most people’s issues of losing fat, over medicating, and generally lacking vitality.  I will be posting my progress on my blog.  As of now, I strongly recommend you taking a look at Primal Blueprint.

Pros:

• You get a 100% customized fat burning, muscle building plan.

  Far too often, I see fat loss plans that pigeon hole you into the rather broad label  of overweight human. When it comes to fat loss goals, the individual must be taken into consideration.  BFFM first allows you to determine what type of body you have, and then create a fat loss plan that matches your goals.  How much you want to work out, what kinds of foods are you sensitive to, and how much fat you want to lose are all taken into consideration.  One of the best things about this approach is you now have ownership and flexibility.

   Flexibility is great because as you lose fat, your goals will change.  Therefore, it makes sense to have a program that can change with you.  Ownership is valuable because your commitment to execute your fat loss plan increases as opposed to being placed in some cookie cutter approach (did someone say cookies?).

• BFFM’s success is proven in all ages, ethnicities, and genders.

  When you go to burnthefat.com (which you have hopefully visited by now), you can scroll down and see people from virtually every walk of life succeeding with this program.  These testimonials should greatly increase your peace of mind in implementing such a program. BFFM offers a customized approach and proven results; what more could you ask for?  I’ll tell you. Creator, Tom Venuto is so confident in his program, that he hold a competition for the best story.  If you are one of his best stories, you qualify for prizes and maybe even a trip to some exotic location like Maui.  How is that for motivation?

• BFFM reveals the secrets behind some of the world’s most impressive physiques.

  Whether you are a fan of the competitive body builder look or not, you have to admit that the amount of work and dedication necessary to achieve such a body is impressive.  This program reveals how to get that kind of body, if you so desire.

  If not, great.  BFFM will still show you how to melt fat and get the lean, defined look that everyone wants.  A considerable problem I see with many fat loss programs is they leave their clientele looking a little puffy if you know what I mean.  Yes they lose weight, but they do not look trim, lean, and tight.

  When you invest in Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle, you are investing in a program that you will never outgrow.  This program empowers you to get any kind of physique you want.  With this kind of information at your finger tips, your potential is virtually limitless ( for all you future Mr./Mrs. Olympias out there).

CONS:

• If you want to look like a bodybuilder, you are going to have to work like one.

  Tom Venuto holds nothing back when it comes to showing how much work is required to achieve such a body.  Of any system that I recommend, this one requires the most time working out.  For many, this is a turn off, but if you want the kind of incredible physique that Tom and many others have achieved, you are going to have to work at it.  While a lot of work is involved, Tom is living proof that is can be done safely and naturally (have I mentioned that he is a Six Time All Natural Body Building Champion?).

• You are going to have to restrict consumption of certain foods.

  BFFM advocates a whole new level of clean eating.  The good news is you do get to indulge infrequently to subside all of your cravings.  Nevertheless, be prepared to say adios to standard grains, processed sugar, and junk food.  While this should not come as a surprise, I want to be perfectly clear that this is not one of those “eat anything you want and still lose weight” kind of programs.  Then again, most of those programs are scams or involve taking some pill, powder, or prepared food that adds cost to your life (how many of us are really looking for more bills?)

• Get ready to put on your thinking cap.

  While Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle is 100% customizable, you are going to have a lot of math to figure out how many calories you need, how long you will have to work out, and the percentages of macro nutrients you need for optimal fat loss.  While all of the equations are a bit of a drag, you will find that you are much more aware of them in your day to day life, which ultimately will help you succeed.

For all of these reasons, and many more, I believe you should go check out Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle.  Aside from Primal Blueprint, this fat loss program gets my highest recommendation.  If you apply what is contained in this program, you will see dramatic results, period.  After all, this is what you are after.  Imagine the feelings of pride and accomplishment when you like what you see in the mirror and are no longer hindered by feelings of insecurity and self doubt over your body.

PROS:

• This program focuses on creating lean muscle and fat loss.

  I know, it’s crazy, but I like a program that focuses on building muscle and fat loss.  It kind of seems to be a trend in my reviews.  At the end of the day, you can not go wrong with a program that is going to give the kind of physique most often featured on the cover of mens’ and womens’ health magazines.  This program offers the ideal, and supplies plenty of info to get there.

• You can have a flat stomach without doing another crunch or sit up.

  Believe it or not, these old school, ridiculously painful abdominal exercises are not the best way to achieve a six pack or even strengthen your core muscles. TABS gives you better, more effective, and less harmful alternatives that will have your core tighter than you have ever experienced.  Here’s a little bit of teaser info, did you know the number of ab exercises you do has NOTHING to do with how visible your abs are.  The visibility of your abs is solely dependent on body fat percentage.  This point and how to achieve fat loss are covered in detail throughout this program.

• This program was designed by a professional nutritionist and personal trainer.

  Mike Geary has been around long enough to know how to produce results.  TABS has consistently been at the top of the list when it comes to online fat loss systems.  Until recently with other systems like Primal Blueprint and The Diet Solution Program, TABS stood strong and alone proclaiming the necessity of having fat in your diet.  This is not just a little bit of fat. We are talking up to 35% of your daily intake will come from healthy fat.  Yet, through his expertise and experience, Mike lays out exactly why you need this much fat in your diet and how a high fat diet is essential to attaining lean muscle mass, a faster metabolism, and that defined look we all want.

CONS:

• Relies heavily on exercise to achieve results.

  With the popularity of fat loss and fitness systems like Primal Blueprint, Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle, Crossfit, Jillean Michaels, P90X, Body for Life, Fat Burning Furnace, Insanity, and many others, is it really surprising that serious effort is involved in getting serious results? Nevertheless, I want to be upfront about this so you can make an informed decision.  Aside from Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle, the Truth About Abs fat loss program requires the most exercise.  Mike does offer a very unique method of exercise to make your time as efficient as possible through his use of compound movements.

• Encourages going organic.

  Same problem for all the right reasons.  While this may seem off topic that the more demand there is for organic produce and meats, the more will be produced thus lowering the price.  I say that only to encourage you to eat as clean as you can afford, and as supply increases to match demand, the prices will lower.  I personally find many of the sites TABS recommends to buy food from to be overpriced, but it is worth checking out all of his recommendations for sake of consolidating your shopping which would save you time.

• So thorough it can be a bit overwhelming.

  While I personally prefer any fat loss system to thoroughly explain its assertions, I know many just want to know what works.  TABS is an 149 page ebook of solid content.  While this should not dissuade you from checking this system out (again it comes with a 60 day money back guarantee), you should know going into it that there is a lot of information to absorb.

Truth About Abs is another great gift to those who truly desire to lose fat the right way and keep it off.  At the end of the day, one has to be committed to principles of fat loss that simply do not change.  Two of those principles are proper nutrition and exercise.  TABS adheres to both of these principles while delivering a new take on how to boost your metabolism, lose fat, and get the lean, sculpted look you are after.

PROS:

• You can save time by not exercising.

While DSP strongly encourages you to partake in physical activity, it does not lay down an intensive regimen of exercises required for success.  Instead the program focuses almost entirely on food choices and how certain food affect certain people.  I was amazed to learn dark meat actually helps me to burn fat.  This fat loss program goes a long way to validate the assertion made by other programs like Primal Blueprint and The Eat Clean Diet, that your success in burning fat is largely if not entirely due to what and how much goes into your mouth.  You will be amazed as the pounds melt off and you are doing little more that going for evening walks.

• This program is easy to maintain.

You will be changing your diet, but Isabel does such a good job of showing you how to eat, that the transition is relatively painless.  DSP is pretty simple to sustain as a lifestyle rather than just some fad you use to lose weight quickly and then gain it back.  If you have tried other diets in the past and failed (trust me, I am right there with you), you know that the ability to tolerate the lifestyle changes of any fat loss program is absolutely vital.  DSP makes that easy with tons of great recipes, prepared shopping lists, and done-for-you charts showing you how much, when, and what to eat.

• This program reveals your unique food type.

While many programs use somatotyping to help guide what you eat, DSP uses a specialized survey to determine your metabolic food type.  The benefit to food typing is you understand what foods work best in your body and what foods you should avoid at all costs.  Like I said earlier, I was surprised to find that I metabolize dark meat very well while I should avoid lean meats because I just feel hungry after eating them.  This product is worth it just to find out what foods help you and which are keeping you fat.

CONS:

• Your grocery bill will most likely go up.

If you have read many of my reviews (hopefully, you have read them all), you know by now I am in favor of eating as clean as you can afford.  Like Primal Blueprint, Truth About Abs, and Fat Burning Furnace, this program recommends that you go organic and cage free.  I believe this is true, but I also have proven that simply switching to the kinds of foods advocated, even of less quality, will get you results.  You can keep the increase in your grocery bill to a minimum by shopping wisely and no longer buying any manufactured junk food.

• The testimonials not as impressive as some of the other programs.

Surely you had to know that a low level of activity would have some draw backs.  While I still find the results of the DSP impressive, they do not leave my mouth hanging open in shock and awe like Primal Blueprint and Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle.  For you all this means is, if you like all the pros, buy DSP.  You have 60 days to try and see if you like it. Use the diet information and then add exercise to it to create your best physique.  Easy enough?

• The DSP does not allow for much if any indulgence.

Of all the programs I have experimented with (and I have tried a bunch),  I  found that planned cheating is an excellent motivator and aid in staying on track.  The DSP has no such allowance in it and advocates 100% adherence for maximum benefit.  Luckily, the DSP does provide clean recipes for desserts and junk like food that should help with cravings; but then again if you want pepperoni pizza, not much is going to solve that hankering other than the real thing.

While not at the top of my list, the Diet Solution Program should definitely be considered as you decide what fat loss program is right for you.  This program has helped many, and the biggest thing you must decide as you investigate options is which program will fit into your lifestyle with minimal change, but with the best results.  For over 25,000 people across the globe, the Diet Solution Program has been that solution.

PROS:

• You can customize the plan to meet you needs.

  Again, this point comes up a lot in any product I recommend, but it also needs repeating. After ten years of researching, experimenting, and proving various fat loss systems, I have found that the best plans are the ones that you can tailor to your goals and unique needs.  FBF is such a program that begins by determining your metabolic type and then takes you by the hand to create a unique plan that will maximize your potential.

• Say goodbye to counting calories.

  Whether you have detailed calorie charts or used a point system, you know counting calories is a drag.  FBF teaches you how to control your caloric intake using portion control rather than exact numbers.  Poulos talks about using various portions of your hand and plate to create perfect portions of each macro-nutrient.  This makes applying this diet outside the comfort of your own home much easier as well as creating any meal that you need to lose fat.

• Never spend longer than 30 minutes working out.

  Really, if you are serious about fat loss, who cannot spare 1/48^th of their day to workout?  These thirty minute workouts (most take about fifteen actually) will give you all the metabolic stimulation you need to rev your fat burning engine.  The key is intensity and proper nutrition. Again, without proper nutrition, most quests for fat loss will be in vain (although I have been in situations where running around a football field for 5 hours a day let me eat pretty much anything…sound appealing? Didn’t think so.)

Cons:

• Intensity of exercise increases risk of injuries.

  The very blessing of FBF can be its downfall.  You see, while all exercise should done with a certain amount of intensity (otherwise you are wasting your time), going all out every time like FBF recommends can be quite dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing.  If you invest in FBF, I strongly recommend you do a fair amount of research and invest in a personal trainer for the first month or so to make sure you have great form and aren’t going beyond your capacity.

• Eating clean can be expensive.

  Different program, same issue.  Eating clean, organic food is expensive.  Stick with what you can afford within the given parameters of fresh food and go for it.  Since virtually every program I recommend encourages eating this way, it would almost seem worth it to scratch this point from the con list.  But, I want you to be perfectly comfortable with the decision you are about to make.  One tip for sure, cut back on eating out and funnel those funds into your grocery bill.  As you improve your organic shopping skills, you will figure out how to eat clean and stay within your means.

• Lots of plugs for supplements.

  In addition to creating Fat Burning Furnace, Poulos is also the founder of a supplement company. Personally, I feel he over advertises his own brand.  The truth is (I and many others have proved this) that having success applying the principles of FBF without the recommended supplements is possible.  Don’t get me wrong, they certainly help.  But, I find the amount of self promotion a bit excessive.

As you research different options to help you in your lifestyle change, Fat Burning Furnace should definitely be considered.  It is one of the most clear, concise fat loss methods I have reviewed and tried.  All methods have their quirks, but FBF’s strengths outweigh (haha, outweigh) its little issues.  Like most of my recommendations, it comes with a 60 day money back guarantee so you really can’t lose.
