Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I have not read it yet, the $34 price tag has kept me at bay, but I have read good reviews of it from several different sources, and there are people that sware by it as if it were the next book of the Bible.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Here's a little review of BFFM that I posted a while back. ~~~ I enjoyed Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle. If you've done a lot of reading on fitness, bodybuilding and nutrition, you'll already know most of it. Sometimes just seeing something presented in a new light makes it finally sink in though. I like that Tom emphasises metabolic individuality and body types . Body for Life is definitely a keep-it-simple approach, whereas BFFM makes different calorie, cardio, and carb recommendations depending on your body type and weight history. Here's a handy quiz to determine your body type: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/becker3.htm Most people don't fall neatly into one category, they overlap. I'm an ecto-meso, or " genetic freak " as Tom calls them. :-) Ectomorphs tend toward tall and skinny body types. They require more calories and carbs and need to watch out for overdoing the cardio if they're trying to gain muscle. They're notorious meal skippers. Mesomorphs build muscle easily and gain or lose fat easily. They have the classic athletic cheerleader, soccer player, gymnast body type. They need to properly balance the weight workouts and the calorie intake or they can get bigger when they intend to get smaller. Endomorphs have a softer, curvier body type. They gain fat easily and have trouble losing it. They need to watch the calories and carbs more closely and need more cardio than other body types. BFFM covers all the basic fitness and bodybuilding principals that are the foundation of BFL, but then Tom personalizes it a little more based on your body type and goals. If you're doing a BFL challenge, BFFM is an interesting read and will give you some more insight and tweaks. The two programs are very compatible but if you've never done a challenge before, I would recommend starting with BFL. If you tend to get overwhelmed and discouraged with too many options and too much math, I would also stick with Body for Life. But if you're an information junky who thrives on details, or you're looking to " tweak " for maximum results, you'll enjoy BFFM.
