Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle: Can You Possibly Fail With This Program

If you haven’t noticed, the #1 best selling diet and fitness ebook for the last 3 years is a book called Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle by Tom Venuto. However, best selling doesn’t mean it’s necessarily the best. Can you really fail with the Burn the Fat Program?

Surprisingly, the answer is a resounding YES.

And here’s how:

Tom Venuto has absolutely packed his program full of information. In fact, he over-delivers in this respect. How can that be a bad thing you may ask?

Simple, most people fall into a form of “analysis paralysis” when they are overloaded with information. You see, the Burn the Fat program itself is around 337 pages. Then, stack on the healthy load of bonuses that make the purchase really worth it and you have an absolute nightmare for a person that’s in perpetual information gathering mode.

So what’s the answer?

Simple, just remember that you only need 75% of the information in order to get moving. In fact, the great Lee Iacocca once said:

“I have always found that if I move with seventy-five percent or more of the facts that I usually never regret it. It’s the guys who wait to have everything perfect that drive you crazy.”

Therefore, one could make the argument that having too much information could be just as harmful as having too little.

Also, the Law of Diminishing Returns states that it will take just as much time (or more) to find out and understand this remaining 25% as it did to figure out the first 75%.

And that’s the real key. It’s not just about having a certain amount of knowledge (and Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle certainly has quite a bit).

No, the real secret lies in the “application of the knowledge” and this is the true secret to any successful endeavor. One could make the analogy that a college professor has a great deal of knowledge to teach, yet lacks the skills to “apply” this knowledge in the real world.

Of course, this is a pretty big stretch but you can see how it can relate to the Burn the Fat Program.

To sum it all up, the Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle Program can fail if you try to absorb all of the information before taking any action. But how do you take action or gain applied knowledge?

By applying of course.
