Janice -

The author of the book you mention, Tom Venuto, is actually a friend of mine. I'm currently interviewing him for my blog.

So ya, I've heard of it. I've read it. I've recommended it.

Tom's views have changed a bit since writing that. As has most anyone's who is in this industry and is worth a damn. Science reveals more each day.

Tom still, from what I know, recommends small frequent feedings but not for some magical metabolic effect. In his experience, smaller frequent feedings leads to great satiety and adherence. I tend to agree. It just can't be blanketly applied to everyone.

You might want to check out Tom's new book, The Body Fat Solution.

Thanks kindly! I will look into it.

Cheers
Janice

No way ... Steve, Tom's "Burn the Fat" was the first "diet" book I ever got. It's a good read. I didn't know he had a new book out.

He's hot ...

I'm not

Tom is a stud. I'd consider Tom a friend of mine. We've been communicating for a number of years, I have his cell, personal email address, all that jazz. I've yet to meet him in person though I imagine it's in the cards.

I'm looking forward to our interview, which is going to take longer than forever due to both of our schedules. We've been on question number 1 for months, lol.

Maureen, you wouldn't get much out of his new book from what I know of you. He really geared it to the novice. It's great in that aspect though.

OK, thanks for letting me know.

Tom really is quite the stud muffin But so are you, Steve. You're smokin' hot. You've got EVERYTHING a woman would ever want. True story

Thanks Maureen!



I think I'll keep you.

Damn. . This completely throws my theory for being fat under the rug. .LOL. .

Thanks for the read. .moving on to more of your sticky threads!!

Haha, glad to hear. You might consider checking the stickies on my forum as well as their different than the ones here. And just as informational.

Happy learning!

Hey. Well that blows my sudden fear out the window. You see, I work in a pub, so sometimes don't eat for 6/7 hours at a time. Though I always eat afterwards and make sure I don't "overeat". I'll tend to eat something else a little later if I need to.
Sometimes, when you have a bunch of thirsty/hungry people at the bar, you just don't get the opportunity to waltz out the back for a bite of anything.

So, yay, I don't need to stress too much. Right? I mean, unless I completely misread that. I mean, I am careful with portion size, and sometimes I do get to snack on something 'out the back'. I just can't rely on it.

Ok, I'm blabbering now.

Thanks!

Nope, I wouldn't concern yourself to any degree. If your calories and macros are in check and you're making sensible food choices, that's what matters.

Thanks a lot for this post. I'm used to eat three times a day and I was always recommended to do so by my coach. I'm so glad to know I had a good leader helping me! Thanks doctor Heber!

There might be other reasons why they're slim, sometimes they have good genetics...

great thread Steve, many thanks for it, I was even forcing myself to eat 6 times per day even without hunger! not anymore

Just be sure to account for calories and macros and be consistent. Things will fall into place.

Glad you enjoyed it.
