Can You Get Fat From Fruit - Question Answered by Tom Venuto of Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle

I have been wondering about this very subject lately and then PRESTO! I get an email from Tom Venuto answering the question...

Now for those of you who aren't familiar with Tom Venuto... he is a competitive bodybuilder who just hit the big 40 and is also the author of Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle. I find him an authority on nutrition and how to lose body fat. And he didn't disappoint me here...

So I posted it on my blog for my readers can read what he had to say about this subject and discuss at the end of the post. Don't forget to leave a comment at the end of this blog what you think...

Is fruit making you fat? The FINAL word on fructose and fat loss

Does fruit make you fat? Are bodybuilders right when they cut out fruit before competitions or is that unnecessary? These and other questions have been hotly debated for decades. Kevin Larrabee of the Fit Cast show puts this question to Tom Venuto, who puts everything in perspective and gives you the final word on fruit, fructose and fat loss...

--------------------------------------------
TRANSCRIPT:
--------------------------------------------

KEVIN LARRABEE: Well, let's jump right into the questions. The first one we have comes from Chris. He says, "I'm just curious, what are your thoughts about fructose? Should the average person avoid a lot of fruit? I tend to avoid starchy carbs altogether, instead focusing on lean protein, fruit and veggies, in addition to healthy fats. Should I be worried about the fructose stuff? I eat 3 to 5 pieces of fruit a day, and that includes apples, grapes, bananas, oranges and really whatever is on sale at the store."

TOM VENUTO: I saw this topic got stirred up again just a few weeks ago. There was a study published in June, and it got written up in The New York Times, about fructose getting converted into fat. And you know how good the media is at reporting scientific research. Right? [sarcasm]

KEVIN LARRABEE: Oh, it's great. It's fantastic. I go to The New York Times for all my nutrition information actually. [more sarcasm!]

TOM VENUTO: [laughs] Well, it was The Journal for the American Nutrition Society. The title, right off the bat, was really damning. It said, "Dietary Sugars Stimulate Fatty Acid Synthesis." Then The New York Times' article says, "Does Fructose Make You Fatter?" And everybody saw
that and they're like, "Oh, my God! Fruit turns into fat!"

To tell you the truth, having started in the bodybuilding world, I believed that too. That's what I was taught. I was taught that fruit turns to fat, and when you go on a contest diet, you have to cut the fruit out. So when I was just starting out in bodybuilding, in my first few contests, I cut the fruit out. And then I started to really analyze it and it didn't seem to make any sense to me, so I put the fruit back in. I didn't see one shred of difference.

If you really go and look at these studies, like this new one, they were talking about high fructose corn syrup, not whole fruit. We know that the fructose goes to preferentially restore the liver glycogen, and the liver has a limited storage capacity. Some of the studies suggest that about
50 grams of fructose before it starts to spill into fat, at least in the context of those studies.

But does anybody know how much 50 grams of fructose is? I mean, in terms of soda, or high fructose corn syrup, I don't think it's hard at all to get 50 grams. And in that study, they didn't give people whole fruit. They gave them a big liquid dose that had 85 grams of carbs in a 75% fructose solution. That's like 64 grams of fructose all at once. So there you have it. That's consistent with what you'd expect based on the research.

Now, if you look at whole fruit, everybody saw the headline and they thought, "Fruit equals fructose." But fruit and fructose aren't exactly the same thing. A lot of people think that all the sugars in fruit are fructose. But a typical piece of fruit has what? About 6-7 grams of fructose?
Maybe you'd get about 10 in a big banana, and some of the berries that are really high in fiber, have only 2-3 grams of fructose. So it would take almost an impossible-to-eat amount, especially if you're trying to stay in a calorie deficit, for that to cause any fat storage. And if you're
in a calorie deficit for the day anyway, should we really be worried about it?

KEVIN LARRABBE: Yeah.

TOM VENUTO: I think fruit is good for a fat loss diet. You could actually make an argument that you should include it because it's high in nutrients, it's high in fiber; it's high in water content, and we know that's a combination right there (high fiber, high water) that's good for reducing appetite and making you feel fuller. So maybe the pre-contest bodybuilder or the low carb dieter is going to pull back on fruit a little bit. But that's mainly a function of cutting down on everything across the board -- cutting down calories across the board and cutting down carbs across the board. Fruit is just too nutritionally valuable to get rid of.

KEVIN LARRABEE: Exactly. I think something that Craig Ballantyne said was that he's never had a client that got fat by eating fruit. They got fat by having breads, like pastries, junk food,
pizzas, things like that. You're not going to get fat by eating fruit. I think people are just focusing on the wrong things.

TOM VENUTO: Yeah. Absolutely. Eat your fruit.

Are Eggs Good For You -- Whole Eggs... Dietary Evil or The New Superfood by Tom Venuto

Question for Tom Venuto...

QUESTION: Tom I’m really confused about eggs. I’m not even sure if youre going to be able to answer this or not, but to me and I’m sure others, it’s a very confusing and important topic. I only use egg whites because I did believe that the yolks are bad because of cholesterol and saturated fat. But with the studies coming out saying we are missing all of the best nutrients by throwing the yolks out it is very confusing. Could you please help clarify this issue and I have attached an article I got from another e-book author for your reference about what I’ve been reading, which spurred my frustration to contact you.

-Michael


Tom Venuto comments on whole eggs...

ANSWER: It’s overly simplistic to say that the saturated or animal fats cause heart disease. It’s even more simplistic and incorrect to say that foods high in dietary cholesterol such as egg yolks, will always lead to an increase in cholesterol in the blood.

Many other factors are involved, including the type of saturated fat, individual genetics, current health status, exercise and the big picture of what else is consumed in the rest of the diet.

Research Says Eggs Are Not Evil

Recent research has been showing that the cholesterol in eggs is handled by most people’s bodies in a way that doesn’t cause heart disease and that dietary cholesterol does not necessarily translate to increased blood cholesterol or an unfavorable ratio of HDL to LDL cholesterol.
After a recent study published in The Journal Of Nutrition, Dr. Robert Nicolosi at the University of Massachusetts said, “Our data show that eating an egg a day is not a factor for raising cholesterol.” A study reported at the 2006 experimental biology meeting in San Francisco made similar findings. The researchers discovered that when people ate three or more eggs per day, the amount of low density lipoprotein (LDL) in their bloodstream did in fact increase as previously reported. However they also found that the subjects actually made bigger LDL particles which were less likely to enter artery walls and build up as artery-clogging plaque. As a result of these and similar findings, head researcher Christine Green said that a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that eggs should not be considered a “dietary evil.”

Whole Eggs Have “Super-Food” Qualities

Whole eggs have a lot going for them nutritionally speaking. The egg yolks contain a highly bioavailable source of lutein and zeaxanthin which are carotenoids that protect against cataracts and macular degeneration.

Eggs are a great source of high biological value complete protein and the protein is split almost evenly between the yolk and the white. One large egg contains 6.3 grams of protein with 3.5 grams in the white and 2.8 grams in the yolk. Although whole eggs appear to have been exonerated, it still may not be wise to suggest that anyone can eat eggs in unlimited quantities, for both health and body composition reasons. Dr. Udo Erasumus in his book, Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill, said that in 70% of the affluent populations of the world, increased cholesterol consumption decreases cholesterol production in the body through a regulating feedback system that protects them. The other 30% of the population may not have adequate feedback, and are wise to limit their dietary cholesterol consumption.

Unlimited egg consumption is also not wise from a caloric perspective. In a fat burning program, you need to consider calories as well as nutritional value and health impact.

Whole Eggs And Fat Loss

Eggs are fairly calorie dense, while egg whites are extremely low in calories, which is why egg whites are one of the top choices for lean protein on calorie-restricted fat loss and bodybuilding diets.

Now that this news about the health value of whole eggs is starting to become more widely circulated, bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts have been criticized for their long held practice of throwing away the egg yolks. However, In all my years of training, even back in the late 1980’s, and 1990’s I’ve never thrown away all my yolks. My menu plans typically contain one or two whole eggs with 8-12 egg whites. I know that’s a lot of whites, but that’s a man-sized bodybuilder meal. For non bodybuilders or people with lower calorie needs, it might be one whole egg and 3-6 whites. Why not ALL whole eggs? Well you could do that, but using more whites than yolks provides the high protein without so many calories. Using all whole eggs would be more appropriate in a low carb diet, and I usually use more balanced diets with moderate amounts of natural carbs to fuel my training.

Take a look at this egg white - egg yolk comparison:

3 whole large eggs: 225 calories, 18.9 g protein, 15 g fat 8 egg whites & 1 whole egg: 211 calories, 34.3 g protein, 5 g fat

Do you see what was accomplished here? I didn’t remove egg yolks because I’m afraid of cholesterol. I removed most of the egg yolks because I was on a calorie budget and I was on a higher protein diet and I wanted more protein with fewer calories. Make sense?

Another reason that bodybuilders use liquid eqq whites so often is for convenience. They can pour them from the carton right into the fry pan and they don’t have to do all that shell cracking and egg white separating.

Let me leave you with a funny story. vince gironda

Whole Eggs - “Better Than Steroids???

When I started bodybuilding as a teenager, I latched onto the teachings of a bodybuilding guru trainer from North Hollywood named Vince Gironda.

Gironda trained all the top movie stars back in his day including Erik Estrada, Clint Eastwood, Tommy Chong, Carl “Apollo Creed” Weathers and too many others to mention. He was also the Trainer of bodybuilding champions such as Larry Scott the First Mr. Olympia, and believe it or not, he was Arnold’s first trainer when Joe Weider sent the budding young star to America from Austria.

Gironda had been saying from day one (back in the 1950’s and 1960’s) that the whole egg was “nature’s perfect food” and he compared them to “natural steroids.”
On some of his low carb “muscle definition” diets, he said you could eat as many whole eggs as you wanted and even scramble them in butter. He said that he had some of his champion bodybuilders on up to three dozen eggs a day!

I didn’t really understand what a ketogenic diet was at the time, but being an obedient, guru-following teenage bodybuilder, desperate for muscle, I did what he said. I ate up to 3 dozen whole eggs a day for months on end.

Well, there was no miraculous steroid-like effect, and I didn’t drop dead of a heart attack either.

One thing I did notice is that I DID NOT LOSE FAT like Gironda said I would.

The reason should be obvious: three dozen whole eggs is 2700 calories (more if you use extra large or jumbo eggs). I was at nearly maintenance calories from the eggs alone, and eggs weren’t the only thing I was eating.

Gironda, like many other low carb gurus, did not place any restrictions on calories, only on foods. Gironda was a genius, years ahead of his time, but this was one little flaw in his program. Even on low carb diets, you STILL need a caloric deficit to lose body fat.

Thus, my approach changed and I went back to more “normal” quantities of eggs and I started removing some of the yolks to keep me more easily within my caloric deficit without losing the high quality protein… but I never cut all the yolks because of their excellent nutritional value… To this day, I still keep one or two yolks in my omelettes and scrambles… sometimes more, as long as it fits in my calorie budget. Get crackin!

PS. One last thing. Keep in mind that the quality of the egg is only as good as the quality of the bird it came from. This is why many health experts recommend free range eggs and or omega-3 eggs

Someone Asked Tom Venuto the Author of Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle How to Gain Muscle...

-----------------------------------------
BURN THE FAT Q & A
WITH TOM VENUTO, Fat Loss coach
-----------------------------------------

QUESTION:

Hi Tom. I have your BURN THE FAT ebook; it's great thanks, but now that I'm lean enough my aim is bodybuilding and muscle gain. I read your information on body types in chapter 5 of your book and it was very interesting. I am definitely an ectomorph body type. I am getting good results gaining about 1 to 2 pounds a week, but I'm pretty skinny so it's going to take a while to get where I really want to be, but that's fine, I'm patient and determined. My question is, can I use all the guidelines in your BURN THE FAT ebook for gaining muscle mass?

Martin

ANSWER:

Martin, first of all, even one pound of weight gain a week is excellent progress provided that weight is all lean body mass and not body fat.

So, if you're not measuring your body composition, use the information in chapter three of Burn The Fat to track your body comp, and if you're doing that already and it's all lean tissue, you're doing great - don't change a thing.

As for using BURN THE FAT for gaining lean weight, the answer is yes.

It's true that BURN THE FAT, FEED THE MUSCLE is primarily a fat burning program and as you are reading through the e-book, you'll see that the entire manual is written with references to getting leaner.

However, with a few simple adjustments, the program can definitely be used for gaining muscle.

The primary adjustment would be the calories.

The #1 reason why people can't seem gain lean weight is because they're not eating enough. You need a caloric surplus to gain lean body mass.

With the BFFM system of nutrition and training, gaining your first 10-12 pounds of lean mass is actually quite easy. The secret is in the proper caloric intake combined with short, intense training sessions using meticulous and continuous progressive overload.

If you're in a calorie deficit (burning more calories than you consume), it's very difficult to gain substantial amounts of muscle. To gain lean body mass at the maximum possible rate, you need a calorie surplus (consuming more calories than your total daily energy expenditure).

The trick in gaining lean weight without the fat is to select a small calorie surplus because gorging yourself is only going to make you gain fat along with the muscle.

Gaining fat and muscle weight is commonly known as "bulking up" and that's the old school approach you should avoid at all costs. The whole idea is to gain LEAN body mass.

Although BFFM is written with a fat loss slant, all the calorie formulas are included in chapter 6, so you can figure out exactly how many you need to lose, maintain, OR gain weight.

What I would recommend for lean gains is to take your maintenance level (also known as "Total daily energy expenditure," or TDEE), and add a 10-15% calorie surplus on top of that as your starting point for the muscle gaining calorie level.

The only other adjustments for gaining lean mass would be the protein-carb-fat ratios (covered in detail in chapter 8) and of course, the amount of cardio.

Weight gain programs require more carbs in the macro nutrient mix and less cardio. In some cases for ectomorph "hard-gainer" body types, no cardio at all.

For the endomorph body type who tends to gain fat easily, I recommend continuing to use a carb or calorie cycling method even for the muscle gaining phase. The difference is in the number of calories.

For fat loss, I typically recommend a carb cycle with a 20-30% caloric deficit for 3 days, followed by one full day at maintenance or even maintenance + 5-10%, with ALL the caloric increase coming from carbs.

For lean muscle gain with out fat gain, I'd recommend a cycle with 3 days at a 15% surplus, followed by 3 days at maintenance or a small caloric deficit of 5-10% below maintenance.

These are just guidelines which have worked well for me and my clients - of all different body types. They are not written in stone. In fact I have seen all types of calorie cycling variations work for different people. Any non-linear calorie approach is superior, in my opinion.

All the other principles in BFFM, such as eating the "foods that burn" fat and avoiding the "foods that turn to fat" apply as equally to weight gain programs as they do to fat loss programs.

In fact, many BFFM "graduates" quickly reached their fat loss goal using these techniques, and then with a few simple adjustments, shifted into a "muscle-gaining phase." Same program, 1 change in calorie levels.

Using the BFFM techniques for muscle mass gains, most people can expect to gain 1/2 pound to 1 pound per week of lean body mass with no increase in body fat, (1/2 to 3/4 of that for women).

These types of gains can be achieved completely natural - and in fact, natural is the only way I'd ever recommend you do muscle gaining programs.

Train hard and expect success,

Tom Venuto Says to Listen to Maintainers... Not to Losers...

Listen to Maintainers, Not to Losers: 5 secrets to keeping the weight off for good
By Tom Venuto, NSCA-CPT, CSCS

I have very little interest these days in all the media-hyped stories of dramatic, rapid losses of body weight. “Big losers” don’t impress me, for numerous reasons. For example, weight is not fat. “Weight” could be composed of mostly lean tissue, or it could be mostly water weight. In fact, I would go a step further and point out that rapid loss of bodyweight correlates very highly with a greater chance of relapse, weight re-gain and long term failure.

So what does impress me? What gets my attention?

I pay attention to what the “long term maintainers” have to say - those are the people who have maintained an ideal weight for over a year… preferably even 2-5 years or more.

The difference between losers and maintainers

As I was researching the subject of long term weight maintenance recently, I was surprised at the huge amount of research that's already been done in this area.

One paper that caught my interest was published by Judy Kruger and colleagues in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, titled,

“Dietary and physical activity behaviors among adults successful at weight loss maintenance.”

This was not an experimental study, but a compilation of data from the “Styles Survey” which was representative of the U.S. population and asked respondants questions about strategies to aid with maintaining an ideal weight.

In this particular survey, only one-third (30.96%) of the respondents said they were successful at keeping their weight off. The researchers wanted to know the difference between the small group that was successful and the majority that were not.

Both groups reduced the amount of food they consumed, they ate smaller portions, more fruits and vegetables, fewer fatty foods and fewer sweetened beverages.

Not really any surprises there, but what we want to know most is not what losers and maintainers have in common, but what the maintainers did that the losers didn't.

Some major differences emerged between losers and maintainers:

First, a significantly higher proportion of successful maintainers reported exercising 30 minutes or more daily, and they also reported adding other physical activity to their daily schedules (recreation, sports, physical work, etc). In addition, more of the successful maintainers included weight training in their exercise regimens than did the losers.

Reducing sedentary activities (TV watching, etc) was also a significant difference between those who successfully maintained and those who did not.

The next big difference that separated the successful maintainers from the unsuccessful was in their “self-monitoring behaviors” including:

* tracking calories
* tracking body weight
* planning meals
* tracking fat
* measuring the amount of food on their plate

Unfortunately, these types of self-monitoring behaviors, especially weighing and measuring food and counting calories, are among the most avoided and even criticized weight control techniques. Some weight loss “experts” even claim that it's detrimental to count calories, weigh yourself or measure and weigh your food.

However, these self monitoring behaviors are being identified more and more frequently in the research as part of “the difference that makes the difference.” I agree, and they have always played a major role in my own Burn The Fat program.

A final difference was that people who reported self-perceived “barriers” to their success were 48-76% less likely to be a successful maintainer.

For example, they said they had no time to exercise, they were too tired to exercise or it was too hard to maintain an exercise routine. I interpret this as: the unsuccessful losers were excuse makers!

THE TOP 5 STRATEGIES TO BE A SUCCESSFUL MAINTAINER

So let’s recap and turn these research findings into some practical action steps you can apply today.

1. Increase your total daily activity level, including formal exercise as well as sports, physical work or recreational activity. Exercise improves weight loss, but more importantly, it is critical for weight maintenance.

2. Decrease sedentary recreational activities by cutting back on TV watching, computer games and web surfing. Take up physical recreation such as sports, boating, biking, walking, hiking, gardening, physical hobbies and playing with your kids, if you have them.

3. Include weight training as part of your formal exercise program, throughout the fat loss phase and even more seriously during maintenance.

4. Track and monitor everything! Count calories and nutrients, measure your portion sizes, weigh your food, plan your menus in writing and monitor your body weight and body fat percentage.

5. Avoid excuses and maintain positive beliefs and attitudes towards your environment and what you perceive as “barriers.” For example, say, “I can always make time for what is most important to me” instead of, “I don't have time to exercise.”

If you're currently on a fat loss journey, and you want to know how good your odds are for being a successful maintainer, it's pretty easy to predict using these 5 strategies. If you're not using all 5 of them yet, then when would be a good time to start today?

There are limitations to survey results such as these, including the fact that they are cross sectional, and therefore cannot prove causality. However, I believe these findings are important and significant.

Not only do they confirm previous similar studies and agree with the findings of other groups of successful maintainers (such as the National Weight Control Registry), I found that these results match precisely what I've seen among my most successful “Burn The Fat” clients.

THIS is the type of advice I'd suggest you listen to the most: Advice about how to lose body FAT, not body WEIGHT, and how to maintain an ideal bodyweight and body composition over the long haul, not how to lose weight as fast as possible.

P.S. There was one more “difference that made the difference,” in this study, and this one may surprise you (although it didn’t surprise me). Successful maintainers were LESS likely to take over the counter diet products (pills, etc).

This is an amusing "fake" advertorial for beer diet. The point I wanted to make was this ad isn't far off from most of the advertisements we see in the real world. They promise you the sky, take your money and leave you in the gutters. And people fall for those ads because them make billions each and every year. They are doing a horrendous job because most adults are getting fatter and fatter each year.

Honey, you lost weight...

I hear most women prefer "Honey, you lost weight" to "Honey, I love you."

And if you want to get compliments, you could go about it the old fashioned way...

Sweating to crappy exercises and eating grass!

Ewww -- right?

I believe that most people have little or no idea how to lose the love handles safely and permanently.

And the two MOST reasons for this is -- #1 is glut of bad information from companies/celebrities selling their "magic" weight loss formulas or exercises. Reason #2 is the belief that if you work hard and are discipline -- you WILL lose weight.

And how is that working out for you? Every day new studies show that as a nation, we are getting fatter.

I personally believe the MAJOR KEY to fat loss is doing it right the first time. And to do that, you MUST get information to understand EXACTLY why your current eating and exercising habits are NOT working.

Tom Venuto's book, Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle was written for everybody. No matter what your body type is. No matter if you are a weightlifter. No matter if you are a man or woman. It is easy to read and understand. Tom's book tells you the truth. What foods promotes muscle growth. When to eat. What exercises to do. And many more of your questions will be answered...

Jessica Alba Thinks She is Fat

Say it isn't true Joe!!!

In spite of Victoria's Secret selecting Jessica Alba as the sexiest actress... Jessica Alba has neurosis and self doubts about her image.

Go figure.

We all have seen her pictures and movies -- we scratch our heads and wonder if she has "lost her marbles."

She said at the interview with the Rolling Stone magazine, "I hear people in this industry talking s*** all the time about how Jennifer Lopez is fat," she says tersely. "And I know if they're calling her fat, they're saying the same s*** about me."

Wow.

But the truth is...

A LOT of people feel the same way! So you have a choice -- either waste your time and energy worrying about what people think about you and more importantly, worrying about what YOU think of yourself.

If you ask me, worrying is a waste of time. Either it is something that will never happen or it is an act of procrastination.

If it's the latter, I heard 'em all. And they are all B.S.!!!

And we will never do anything unless the pain of NOT doing it becomes greater than the pain of actually doing it.

Read the above sentence again...

If you dare, get Tom Venuto's eBook -- Burn the Fat Feed the Muscles. It is THAT GOOD!

Lindsay Lohan Loses Weight

Health warning: all diets make you fat

(Check out the before picture of Lindsay Lohan. The before picture is a typical picture of someone who is skinny-fat. )

There comes a point when you lose heart - when a diet seems like the only answer. But could it be that dieting had made me fatter?

According to research published by scientists from the University of California this week, the answer is: absolutely.

The Californian team analysed more than 30 studies of diets; one study found that a group of dieters ended up fatter than a control group who hadn't restricted their food at all.

I believe this. Trust me when I say this but those who go on starvation diets end up fatter. There is a simple explaination for this...

As Tom Venuto, the author of the best selling fat loss eBook today, Burn the Fat Feed the Muscles would say:

When you starve yourself, your body goes into the "starvation mode." The body will conserve energy. Since your muscles uses energy and calories, the body will reduce the muscles and store fat. By the end of your starvation diet, you actually have less muscles and more fat. Which is EXACTLY the opposite of what you were trying to accomplish.

It's insane huh? Why not try to lose fat safely and permanently? After all, the human body wasn't designed to be fat. It happened because of our eating habits and lack of proper exercises were counterproductive to building healthy and lean bodies...
