Anytime the topic of discussion in my blogs, articles or newsletters has turned to my own personal grocery shopping list, there has always been a spike in interest.

 

By: Tom Venuto, Fat Loss Coach, author of Burn the Fat, Feed The Muscle

 

It seems that many people are not only curious about what foods a natural bodybuilder eats to maintain single digit body fat, but they also want to be taken by the hand and told exactly what foods to eat themselves while on fat-burning or muscle building programs.

 

Of course, I can’t tell you what YOU should eat because I don’t know your likes and dislikes, not to mention whether you have any intolerances, allergies or foods you don’t eat for ethical reasons, etc. What I CAN do is show you what I eat, which has helped me keep my body fat under 10% all year round and peak in the low single digits when I want to get cut for competitions or photo shoots. I put together 4 separate “top 10″ lists of healthy foods to feed your muscle and burn fat.

 

Exact quantities and menus are not listed, just the individual foods, and of course my food intake does vary. I aim to get as many different varieties of fruits and vegetables as possible over the course of every week and there are a lot of substitutions made, so you are not seeing the full list of everything I eat, only what foods I eat most of the time.

 

I also want to point out that while I don’t believe that extreme low carbs are necessary or most effective when you look at the long term, research has shown that there are some definite advantages to a low to moderate carb and higher protein diet for fat loss purposes. These include reduced appetite, higher thermic effect of food and automatic  calorie control.

 

Personally, I reduce my carb intake moderately and temporarily prior to bodybuilding competitions. Specifically, it’s the foods that are on the starchy carbs and grains list that go down during the brief pre-competition period when I m working on that really ripped  look. I keep the green and fibrous veggie intake very high however, along with large amounts of lean protein, small amountsof fruit, and adequate amounts of essential fats (“LEAN, GREEN and MARINE!).

 

This list reflects my personal preferences, so this is not a prescription to all readers to eat as I do. It’s very important for compliance to choose foods you enjoy and to have the option for a wide variety of choices. In the past several years, nutrition and obesity research – in studying ALL types of diets – has continued to conclude that almost any hypocaloric diet that is not completely moronic  can work, at least in the short term.

 

It’s not so much about the high carb – low carb argument or any other debate as much as it is about calorie control and compliance. The trouble is, restricted diets and staying in a calorie deficit is difficult, so most people can’t stick with any program and they fall off the wagon, whichever wagon that may be.

 

I believe that a lot of our attention needs to shift away from pointless debates (for example, low carb vs. high carb is getting really old & so like & get over it everyone, its a calorie deficit that makes you lose weight, not the amount of carbs). Instead, our focus should shift towards these questions:

 

How can we build an eating program that we can enjoy while still getting us leaner and healthier?

 

How can we build an eating program that helps us control calories automatically?

 

How can we build an eating program that improves compliance?

 

Here are the lists of foods I choose to achieve these three outcomes. This eating plan is not difficult to stick with at all, by the way. I enjoy eating like this and it feels almost weird not to eat like this after doing it for so long.

 

Remember, habits work in both directions, and as motivational speaker Jim Rohn has said, Bad habits are easy to form and hard to live with and good habits are hard to form but easy to live with. 

 

These are listed in the order I frequently consume them. So for example, if oatmeal is on the top of the list, it means that is the food I am most likely to eat every single day.

 

My 10 top natural starchy carb and whole grains

1. Oatmeal (old fashioned)

2. Yams

3. Brown rice (a favorite is basmati, a long grain aromatic rice)

4. Sweet potatoes (almost same as yams)

5. Multi grain hot cereal (mix or barley, oats, rye. titricale and a few others)

6. White potatoes

7. 100% whole wheat bread

8. 100% whole wheat pasta

9. Beans (great for healthy chili recipes)

10. Cream of rice hot cereal

 

My Top 10 top vegetables

1. Broccoli

2. Asparagus

3. Spinach

4. Salad greens

5. Tomatoes

6. Peppers (green, red or yellow)

7. Onions

8. Mushrooms

9. Cucumbers

10. Zucchini

 

My top 10 lean proteins

1. Egg whites (whole eggs in limited quantities)

2. Whey or Casein protein (protein powder supplements)

3. Chicken Breast

4. Salmon (wild Alaskan)

5. Turkey Breast

6. Top round steak (grass fed beef)

7. Flank Steak (grass fed beef)

8. Lean Ground Turkey

9. Bison/Buffalo (lean game meats)

10. Trout

 

My top 10 fruits

1. Grapefruit

2. Apples

3. Blueberries

4. Canteloupe

5. Oranges

6. Bananas

7. Peaches
8. Grapes

9. Strawberries

10. Pineapple

 

Note: I DO include healthy fats as well, such as walnuts, almonds, extra virgin olive oil, flaxseeds, flaxseed oil (supplement – not to cook with), avocado and a few others. Also, I do eat dairy products and have nothing against them, nor am I lactose intolerant. I simply don’t eat as much dairy as the rest of the stuff on my lists. When I eat dairy, its usually skim milk, low or non fat cottage cheese, low or non fat yogurt and low or non fat cheese (great for omelettes).

 

How strict should you be with following these food lists?


I usually follow a compliance rate of about 95%, which means I take two or three meals per week of whatever I want – stuff that is NOT on these lists – like pizza, sushi, big fatty restaurant steaks, etc. (contrary to the persistent rumors, I’m not some cyborg that never enjoys a good restaurant meal… believe me – I DO!)

 

I hope you found this helpful and interesting. Keep in mind, this is MY food list, and although you probably couldn’t go wrong to emulate it, you need to choose natural foods YOU enjoy in order to develop habits you can stick with long term. If you’d like to learn more about fat burning nutrition and what to eat for maximum fat loss, then be sure to take a look at the Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle nutrition program.

Holy Grail Body Transformation Review


This product is one of the most thorough we have tested, and at 74 pages for the main program It is packed full of detailed muscle gaining information.

 

The ebook is easy to read and understand.  If you really want to learn exactly how to gain lean muscle for your body type, the right ratios of food to eat, the best time to eat carbs etc to maximize muscle gain this is the product for you, but you need to be prepared to read the book entirely and to actually do what it everything Tom says.

 

If you want an easy to follow plan to gain some additional lean muscle, then this product comes down to three simple steps:

 

Part 1:  Theory and science

Part 2.  Nutritional periodization and cyclical dieting

Part 3:  Training


Holy Grail is focussed towards people who want to gain lean muscle while not gaining more fat. It is written by a natural bodybuilder and that shows exactly how he has put on extra pounds of lean muscle.  You don’t have to be a bodybuilder to certainly take away enough from this ebook for an average person to really accelerate their fat loss,  But be warned, it it is for people who want to put serious effort into training.

There are quite a few bonuses that go into more detail on extreme and controversial techniques to gain more lean muscle.

There is also an upgrade to the program that is full of benefits to someone who is serious about wanting to gain muscle and is willing to put in the extra effort to get results faster.  The upgrade is a full Nutrition Coach package filled with online videos and a calorie calculator to help you determine exactly what you should be eating to getting those extra pounds of muscle.

 

I also signed up for the membership site offer they give on the download page – it is a great site packed full of information.  The first 30 days were free, so we can to really get into the member ship site and the online community, it’s worth the monthly 9.95 for the access and resources.

 

In summary, Holy Grail is a fantastic guide for anyone serious about gaining lean muscle without gaining fat, and getting really healthy.  I would recommend everyone to read it just because of all the information you learn about your body and nutrition (I have 6 pages of notes!). But for most people it will be too much to go through with not enough structure to follow (he wants you to make your own plans up to suit your body so he advises you of what is best rather than giving you strict plans to follow).

This presentation shows you foods that you think are “health” that actually make you feel sluggish and increase abdominal fat.

 

See which foods you should STOP eating…

A Low Carb Diet Makes You Sexy and Strong. That is what helped Jessica Simpson look hot in her Daisy Duke Booty Shorts!Pop star Jessica Simpson started a lower carb diet and a booty shaping exercise routine to get in shape for her role as Daisy Duke and to prepare her to wear “Daisy Duke’s” signature short shorts (AKA-Booty Shorts) in the movie Dukes of Hazard movie.

 

Her workout includes two hours a day of squats and lunges and has motivated her to create a new Courtesy of Warner workout video. “I have a white-girl booty, so I’m doing all my squats to lift it a little bit and get some junk in my trunk,” says Jessica.

 

It is so awesome to constantly see proof of healthy carb eating using the right FEMALE principles yield such amazing results. I just read a great article about how reducing the bad fat building carbs in your diet can help you lose weight faster and easier! Hallelujah.

 

I just got three emails from these highly financed, old, out of touch, negative, so last year, organizations telling me to “eat whatever I want” and “lose weight”. What line of marketing bull!

 

I am so sick of these white coat people who want me to go on their pharmaceuticals that cost a fortune and have the general public convinced to have them mailed to their front door. Wow talk about a good marketing plan.

 

They tell you to eat whatever you want so that you stay fat, unhealthy and get expensive “monthly medicine” “taking and giving you more side effects than when you went to see them” diseases.

 

Then on the backside of that they show you creatively designed commercials that show the friendly Post Person delivering your DRUGS to your front door so that you won’t use one extra calorie going to the store, parking your car, walking a fifty feet and picking it up.

 

Heaven forbid, you should walk, move more, lose weight, get well, stop feeding those giant billion dollar old gray hair guy board of director companies!

 

Can you tell how much I loathe these companies and doctors who have not time to talk to their patients about preventing life threatening diseases or informing the consumers of the health risks involved with some of the powerful drugs that are prescribed.

 

I have no problem with a company making a profit. I am in business to make a profit too, but not at the expense of a person’s ability to lead a healthy and joyful life.

 

I do have a problem crippling people with fear and selling them into believing that drugs are the only answer to healing an illness or dis-ease. I’m not against all doctors. There are many great doctors out there. I have some very special friends who are doctors and they care a great deal about their patients, but they can only see so many people in a day.

 

This frustration you hear in my voice is personal.

 

My own grandmother died of the complications of diabetes. She went blind! Not one pharmaceutical company told her to eat right, exercise daily for 30minutes twice per day..she was 60 something then..she could have easily exercised and taken the time to cook properly, exercise correctly, take up some fun hobbies that reduced stress and cut out all the sugar and high sugar dairy products she consumed.

 

They did not tell her to that there are certain foods that help reduce water retention and work as an anti-inflammatory and could have possibly reduced the swelling in her nerve tissue in her eyes which contributed to her blindness.

 

Food for thought…

 

Diabetics have circulatory damage and it’s vital to exercise, reduce swelling in joints and nerves and improve circulation with movement and nutrition. God made our bodies with incredible intelligence. We need to be more vigilant about guarding it and taking care of it ourselves.Whew…what a rant! I’m back!

 

You can eat whatever you want and lose weight! Sure..that’s only possible if you’re a cross-country runner who logs in 10 miles a day running a 7 minute mile.Personally I don’t have the time, energy or desire to pound my joints that much and shake my breasts around that much. They will end up hanging down to my knees if did that.

 

Jessica Simpson was smart enough to know that if she wanted to get back to her pre-marriage size, she would have to follow the perfect program. It is the principles I used to create my Quick Start Energy Program. You can change your dress size and change your life by simply applying the ten quick rules I teach you in it.

 

I still follow it today and I have so much energy and I cannot believe the incredible muscle tone and tightness I have in my thighs and butt. It’s really kind of strange.I will run into some of my fellow fitness associates and former clients who quit working with me and I am shocked at their body’s appearance and their skin tone!

 

When I put the diet together using proven scientific research from several different reputable sources, I really had no idea the LONG-TERM effect it would have on the body, the skin, muscle retention and metabolic stabilization!The longer you follow the plan, the better you look. I am NEVER going to quit Quick Start and you shouldn’t either!

 

The CD on Cellulite alone is worth a thousand dollars. Lipo-suction is about $3,000 to $5,000 dollars and painful. My Quick Start and Power Shaping DVD don’t even cost $100.00. My results last a lifetime and you have no downtime or lasting scars.

 

Along with the squats and lunges for a shapely behind, here are two of my favorite exercises for Your Booty Shorts Booty! The squats and lunges create a lower body foundation. The two exercises I describe below are the defining, fine tuning moves.

 

1. Lying Side Leg Lifts: Begin by lying down on your left side. Bend your left leg at a 90-degree angle and bring your left foot to rest underneath your right knee. Keeping your right leg straight, slowly raise it as high as possible. Contract your glutes and return to the start position. After finishing the repetitions, turn over and repeat the process on your left.

 

2. Rear Leg Lifts: Start on the floor on an all fours position, placing your palms on the floor to support your body weight. Tighten your abs to protect your back. Keeping your left knee on the floor, straighten your right leg and extend it behind your body just short of touching the floor. Squeeze your butt then slowly raise your right leg as high as comfortably possible without hurting your back, keeping it straight throughout the move. Contract your glutes even harder at the top and then lower your leg down and return back the starting position. After performing the desired number of repetitions, repeat the entire process on your left.

 

SETS & REPS: 3 sets of 15 reps per leg is your goal.

 

Perform these two exercises along with your regular workouts and cardio three to for times per week. Not only will your buns be high and lifted up, you will strengthen your low back and hips which will make your joints more stable and healthy.Be sure to stretch your back before and after the sessions.

 

The best stretch is the child’s pose, sitting back on your heels with your arms outstretched in front of you while you are on the floor on all fours.Shape up, Have Fun and Live Courageously!

 

Don’t be anyone’s fool and blindly ignore the side effects of taking potent drugs hoping to get healed. Do everything you can to get heatlhy, stay healthy and look fantastic in the process.Take Your Life into your own hands. Nurture, care for and honor your body with the best nutrition, professional training advice and rest.

 

Never trust it to anyone else. When you lie down at night, you are the only one who can control your health. Do all that you can today, to have a better tomorrow!Eat well, laugh out loud, smile at strangers and train for health and total beauty. Inside and out!

Q: What Are The Best Fat-Burning Foods For Burning Body Fat?


A: That depends on your definition of a “fat burning food.” When you say “fat burning food” or “foods that burn fat,” many people instantly think of exotic herbs, hot spices or foods like cayenne, chili pepper, mustard, cider vinegar, guarana, green tea, etc., which allegedly increase your metabolic rate.

 

It sounds like a diet gimmick, so you’re justified in being skeptical, but believe it or not, some of these purported fat burning foods actually have some science behind the claims.

 

For example, there is a slight thermogenic effect from capsaicin in hot pepper.

 

Well-controlled research has also proven that a compound in green tea called epigallo-catechin gallate (EGCG) gives a small but significant increase in 24 hour metabolic rate. It would take 3-4 strong cups of green tea to get the necessary amount, 270-300 mg of EGCG, or it can also be obtained from green tea extract supplements.

 

However, there is a catch. The fat burning (thermogenic) effect of these foods is real, but very small. A study published in the European Journal of clinical Nutrition found that a dose of hot pepper (in an amount that could be tolerated), only increased metabolism by 21 calories. Green tea extract fared a little better, but not much. Research from Switzerland found an average 24 hour increase in metabolism of 79 calories.

 

That’s not much. In fact, it’s controversial whether this short term (24 hour) increase in metabolism will have any impact on actual fat loss over time.

 

If you like Green tea, it’s extremely healthy, and I do recommend it as a beverage. And, if you like hot peppers and hot spicy foods (I do), by all means enjoy them – they can be quite nutritious – and they may give a tiny boost to your metabolism. Just don’t expect any fat loss miracles.

 

What WILL help you burn fat is a diet consisting of nutrient-dense, natural foods and putting together your meals to maximize satiety, while also choosing some of the foods that have a lower caloric density and a higher thermic effect of digestion. Let me explain…

 

Dietary Thermogenesis and the Thermic Effect Of Food

 

In reality, ALL foods are “thermogenic” because the body must use energy to digest them. This is known as the “thermic effect of food” (TEF) or “specific dynamic action of food.”

 

However, not all foods have the same thermic effect. Dietary fat has the lowest thermic effect. The most thermogenic food (my “favorite”) is lean protein from solid foods, especially the following:

 

chicken breast
turkey breast
game meats (venison, elk, etc)
bison, buffalo
very lean red meat such as top round and lean sirloin (grass fed is especially nutritious)
almost all types of fish
shellfish and other seafood
egg whites (whole eggs in moderation)

 

Research has proven that the thermic effect of protein is the highest of all the macronutrients, requiring about 30% of the calories it contains, just for digestion and processing. An added bonus is that lean protein foods suppress your appetite!

 

This is one of the reasons that a fat loss diet calls for a lean protein food at every meal. It’s also no coincidence that bodybuilders are the leanest muscular athletes on earth. My entire fat loss program is based on these fat burning and muscle-friendly diet methods.

 

When you combine thermogenic lean protein foods with the right amounts and types of essential fats, add in plenty of green vegetables and just the right amount of natural starchy carbs and 100% whole grains, your body will literally turn into a turbo-charged fat burning machine – without drugs, supplements or weird diet gimmicks.

 

A Simple 3-Step Formula To Put Together A Fat-Burning Meal:

 

STEP 1: Select a green vegetable or fibrous vegetable such as asparagus, green beans, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, salad vegetables, etc., and then

 

STEP 2: Combine that with one of the lean proteins (previously mentioned above).

 

STEP 3: The lean protein and fibrous carb forms the foundation of your fat burning meal. From there, add natural starchy carbs or grains such as brown rice, oats, or sweet potatoes – in the amount your calorie needs dictate and to the degree your body can tolerate them (some people are carb-sensitive). Fruit is also ok, but focus even more on the green and fibrous vegetables.

Question.
Victoria, I am going on a summer vacation with my husband in two weeks and I need help getting my a** in a swimsuit without wearing one of those old lady ones like my grandmother has. You know the one with the built in skirt. Help Victoria! What can I do?
- J. McMurphy

 

Hello Ms J.
You sure know how to challenge me don’t you? First… whatever you do, make sure your husband does NOT see you in a “skirt swimsuit”. There is only so much Viagra can do girlfriend!

 

Second… I have some great tips for your “exit muscles” (the last ones people see when you leave the room) to look presentable. If you are really strict, you may look so good, your husband won’t want you to exit the room at all on this year’s vacation!

 

A few years ago, I needed to get ready for a swimsuit photo shoot at the exclusive Beverly Hills Celebrity hotel LeMontrose. I was not happy with my “rear view” so I put together this emergency bikini butt regime. It worked beautifully. After working my plan, my legs were more defined, my butt was tighter and, shall I say, high and lifted up. I felt great at the photo shoot. My results were validated when the rapper (name withheld) who was not in need of a tan, kept coming out by the pool and accidentally dropping his D&G sunglasses every other minute. I think I must have looked great to him. He was sneaking a look at my “assets” as he was pretending to recover his D&G’s.

 

Okay Ms. J. get out your highlighter, print this page and highlight the tips you will follow diligently, even while you are on vacation. That’s right. The last thing you want to do is look great the first day, then go on a “I’m on vacation” binge fest and bloat up like those cute little gold fish snacks.

 

1. Get Mentally and Spiritually ready. Center yourself. Prayers, affirmations and meditation are great ways to relax and make the preparation for your vacation and a fun and exciting challenge.

 

2. Start drinking at least 10 cups of water a day right away. The last 3 – 4 days I will add in a cup of herbal diuretic tea a day. The days when I’m drinking the tea I cut my water in half.

 

3. Do sixty minutes of cardio each day at a low-moderate intensity. You will want to do this for at least two weeks before your vacation, or as much time as you have before you leave. You can break this up into two sessions if you need to, but one long session is optimal. My Swimsuit Shape Up Collection is a great way to get that cardio in each day. Don’t balk, we’re getting ready for vacation here!

 

4. Sculpt and Tone every other day, do a full body workout with light-weights, with special emphasis on plies’, lunges, floorwork – leg lifts and donkey kicks. 3 sets of 25 reps per side of each exercise. Do your abdominals every other day as well. Figure out your three favorite abdominal exercises and review last week’ s abdominal hollowing tips and apply them.

 

5. Do not eat after 7:00 PM. That means NOTHING at 7:00PM. Water or tea but no calories. This is a big key!

 

6. Eat clean staying away from salt, sugar, desserts, ice cream and dairy. My Quick Start Fat Loss Program is perfect way to diet for optimal health and conditioning. If you don’t have it already, pick one up today!

 

7. Increase Low Glycemic Index foods which help with weight release such as cabbage, onions, broccoli, cooked tomatoes, beans, wheat and certain fruit.

 

8. AVOID ALL HIGH Glycemic Foods. I have an extensive list in my Quick Start Fat Loss Program. Do NOT eat these foods. They could turn to fat faster than butter.

 

9. Eat 4-5 meals a day slightly smaller than my normal servings. Go easy on the condiments. For the last three days during the diuretic phase, omit any high salt food, condiments and drink distilled water.

 

10. Finally use a series of Herbal Baths to smooth and tighten the skin around your legs, hips and buns. Take 2 – 3 baths a week for 30 minutes each. You’ll need the downtime with all that cardio and sculpting! In addition to working on any remaining cellulite areas, the baths will help detoxify your skin and improve your overall complexion.

 

Okay girlfriend, you have some great tips for getting you’re a** ready for your revealing beach unveiling. You can do it. If you start today, you can possibly lose up to an inch or even more in your hips and thighs for that awesome vacation. Have a great time, and send me some photos!

 

God Bless and make it the Best Week Ever!

 

Victoria
