What about other people’s fat loss books?

There are some really good ones, besides mine.  Not many mind you, but a few.

Alwyn Cosgrove is one of the best in the world at fat loss, and his book Afterburn contains some great, smart training for fat loss.  Seriously, this guy has turned fat loss into a science.  Light years ahead of 99% of the stuff out there.  Alwyn creates programs that WORK.

I recently discovered Craig Ballentyne’s Turbulence Training.  Not only his is book awesome, I also look forward to his emails every week.  It’s amazing how simple, clear, and EFFECTIVE this guy is.

Ever since I stumbled onto the training program I use, I’ve known the training I did with my clients works amazingly well for burning fat.  I knew it worked three times better than what the other trainers in my gym were doing with their clients.  But until I ran into Alwyn Cosgrove, I honestly didn’t know why the stuff I was doing worked.

Tom Venutto’s Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle could make a strong claim to be the "encyclopedia of weight loss".  Tom is a brilliant fat loss trainer, and his stuff is awesome.  The only downside of his "encyclopedia of weight loss" is that at 350 pages, it’s a pretty monster read.  Everything that I have read out of it is phenomenal, but I still haven’t finished reading it.

My book, The Stubborn Seven Pounds: Take Your Body From Good to Rockstar is a quick and fun read – just at 100 pages – with lots of great pictures that make all the concepts really simple and easy to understand.  If my book has any  advantage, or unique selling point, I think it’s that my book has some really fun stories.  My book is very conversationally written, and it’s a really easy fun read. And of course my clients also lose lots of fat, lean up, and basically become hotties.

You couldn’t go wrong with any of these books.  They are all jam packed with really intelligent information and workout programs that produce results in the real world. All of the best trainers are more alike than they are different.  The principles are very similar, if not the same.  A good homework assignment would be to read all of these books and make a list of what they all have in common.

    Amazing weight loss stories here:

    I’ve always had trouble with my weight ever since I was young. Of course I tried all the “best” fat loss products, nothing helped very much. It wasn’t til I tried Anatrim that I saw the pounds seriously start to melt away! Nothing helped me lose weight faster. I literally saw 15 pounds melt away within the first few weeks! There’s nothing more exciting than watching pounds disappear, especially when you’ve tried all sorts of different methods and products before. I’ve since read up on Anatrim and am amazed at the number of people who have benefited from its amazing results. I’m halfway to my goal, Anatrim will get me the rest of the way 😉

    Good Review. Have you tried the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program? It works on the Calorie Shifting principle, and claims you can lose 9lbs in 11 Day!

    Check out my review of the program http://www.hardgainersguide.com/fat-loss-4-idiots/

    Maybe i’ll have to check out your book. Diet pills and exercise don’t seem to be giving me the instant results I want to see.

    I have tried so many diet programs without success and nearly gave up, and then I bought and tried Fat Loss for Idiots. It is a no-nonsense approach that really worked for me!
