Men's Health Best: Turn Fat into Muscle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have probably read 100's of weight training books in my day and "Men's Health Turn Fat into Muscle" is one of the best available for focusing on fat loss.Of course we all know that one can not "turn fat into muscle" - but utilizing the routines in this book one can definitely burn fat and improve overall muscular definition and, most importantly - fitness.

So many trainees seeking to gain mass fool themselves by thinking they can "eat their way big" - surely, but that "big" will be a majority of fat, not muscle.Keep it up for a number of years and before you know it you have a 40" spare tire around your belly and can barely run a block without keeling over.

If you are like me and bought into the myth perpertuated by so many "expert trainers" that cardio is "bad for you" in the context of gaining muscular mass - you may want to change your thinking and understand that overall fitness leads to an efficient metabolism and therefore greater muscularity when combined with dynamic, multi-joint compound weight training exercises as provided in this book.

Many will probably doubt my assertion that this is one of the best fat loss books available but in terms of simplicity (how to understand what needs to be done in order to burn fat), solid and short, butt-busting routines that will have you huffing and puffing - did you know that heavy breathing is the key to fat loss from an exercise standpoint? - and a good variety of short (15-30 minute) routines to choose from makes this an excellent book for every type of trainee.

I adopted one of the routines in this book - done twice weekly, in rotation with 2 "heavy lifting" weight sessions.I feel great and have built up my rope jumping ability by about 500% from when I started.The fat loss around my waist has been remarkable - dropped 2 pants sizes in 3 months - but have managed to keep most of my muscularity and size.

The other important change I made was to switch from the 6+ meals/day eating plan myth perpetuated by "expert trainers", weight trainers on PEDS, and protein powder companies, to eating just 3 healthy meals spaced 5 hours apart, with no snacks in between!The myth that eating 6+ meals/day keeps ones weight in-check or helps one to gain more muscle mass has been clinically disproved by controlled studies.Isn't it ironic that the fattest nation on earth, the US, we practice eating programs like 6+ meals/day, in order to - according to the "experts" - stay thin and healthy?What complete absurdity!

Do the research, stop eating to excess which only makes you fat, stop wasting your time and money on having to stress about eating every 2-3 hours, get on a good exercise program that gets you huffing/puffing for 15-20 minutes 2-3 times/week, eat only 3 meals/day with no snacks (yes, it takes willpower if you truly want to lose fat - there are no "miracles"!) and start to drop that disgusting fat.

This book can help you drop the fat and get fit - and on the way, depending on your body's response and your weight training regimen, perhaps even gain muscular definition and that "v-taper" we all strive for.
