Katy Perry and Russell Brand have reached a divorce settlement, more than a month after he filed the papers.
The 27-year-old pop singer and 36-year-old British comedian and actor "entered into a comprehensive written settlement of all issues," according to court documents filed at a Los Angles court on Tuesday, February 7. Perry signed the papers on February 3 and her signature included a smiley face. The divorce is expected to be finalized within six months.

Perry has often included smiley faces, as well as doodles of hearts, in her signatures, as seen in autographed photos of the singer that are on sale on eBay.
Brand filed for divorce on Dec. 30, 2011, citing irreconcilable differences. He and Perry have no children. According to her recent filing, the singer has asked to restore her maiden name to Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson and also does not want the court to have any jurisdiction to award Brand any spousal support.
Perry, the daughter of California Evangelical pastors, married Brand on October 23, 2010 in a traditional Hindu ceremony in Rajasthan, India, where he also proposed to her. Their divorce papers do not specify when they split.
Before their wedding, Brand told New York Magazine that he "ain't doing no pre-nup" with Perry. Without a prenuptial agreement, a divorcing couple must split their earnings 50/50, according to California law. Details about Perry's settlement with Brand have been kept private and the documents only state that the rights to their properties are to be determined.
Perry, one of the most popular pop singers in the world, who has also participated in high-profile ad campaigns for Proactiv acne treatments and ghd hair care products, is estimated to be worth at least $44 million, according to Forbes. Brand, who played a rock star in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "Get Him To The Greek" and stars in the new "Rock of Ages" film with Tom Cruise is worth about $7 million .
People magazine quoted a source as saying that Brand is "not asking for cash from his higher-earning wife." He and Perry have not commented about their agreement. Perry and Brand began dating in September 2009 after Perry performed at the MTV Video Music Awards ceremony, which Brand had hosted.
The pair share a common love for pushing the envelope - Perry with her colorful, edgy outfits and music videos, including one where she sported braces, and Brand, a raunchy, no-holds-barred stand-up comedian and former heroin addict who was fired from his previous job on MTV in his native UK when he dressed up like Osama bin Laden the day after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
KATY PERRY AT THE GRAMMYS
Perry is meanwhile preparing for her first major post-split appearance. She is set to perform at the 2012 Grammy Awards on Sunday.
"Just finished rehearsals for Grammy's..." she Tweeted late on Wednesday. "I'm. so. excited. #somethingscooking."
Perry is also set to perform on Friday, February 10 at the MusiCares Person of the Year Ceremony, which will pay tribute to Paul McCartney and feature other performers such as Tony Bennett, Coldplay and Neil Young. McCartney, the 69-year-old former member of the iconic British rock group The Beatles, is also set to sing at both events.

Nicki Minaj: Best New Artist Grammy?

It's getting increasingly difficult to think of Nicki Minaj as a new artist. If you judge the Young Money raptress by the time she's spent in the game, then she is no doubt a newcomer. On the other hand, if you measure the "Super Bass" star by her accomplishments, then she has accumulated enough stats in 14 months to rival some industry veterans.

Though it may seem unfair to some that she is even nominated, Nicki's accelerated artistic growth makes her a heavy favorite in the Best New Artist category at the 54th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday.
When weighted against other Best New noms like the Band Perry, Bon Iver, J. Cole and Skrillex, Nicki's path is a unique one. She started out an MC but grew into so much more under the direction of YM head honcho Lil Wayne. When Weezy first discovered Minaj rapping on a street DVD, she was as cocksure and combative as any of her male counterparts, but after signing with Young Money, Nicki used the platform to amplify the natural performance talents that existed within. There were glimpses on her 2009 mixtape Beam Me Up Scotty, but it wasn't until the Harajuku Barbie dropped her debut, Pink Friday, in November 2010 that her full potential was unleashed, when she displayed her passion for both rapping and singing.
Yes, technically her debut album was released in the 2010 calendar year, but the Grammy calendar does leave wiggle room and make her eligible for the Best New Artist nomination. The Queens, New York, rap star didn't start out the gate as hot as some speculated, but she did snag the #1 album spot on the Billboard charts in her 11th week. In October 2010, Minaj set a record for having the most singles on the Hot 100, notching seven songs at the same time. "Your Love," "Right Thru Me" and the Drake-featuring "Moment 4 Life" all made significant radio impact, but it was "Super Bass" that proved to be her biggest and most inescapable hit.
Nicki, with the help of alter ego Roman, has emerged as a strong visual artist as well through her "Moment 4 Life" video and the super colorful "Super Bass." The rap rook has also toured with Britney Spears and Lil Wayne.
It's also important to note that Nicki's prowess in the studio has led her to be a ubiquitous figure in pop culture. She has had a Barbie doll made in her likeness, inked a deal for her own nail polish with OPI, became the face of MAC's 2012 Viva Glam campaign and has either appeared on the covers or shot for too many glamour magazines to name.
Yes, Nicki Minaj does seem to be a lock for Best New Artist, but then again, this is the Grammys and no one ever thought Esperanza Spalding would beat out pop icon Justin Bieber. So maybe the Band Perry have a shot after all.
[MTV]
My pick here is J Cole. I hope he wins, even though Nicki has had MORE success.

He was arrested at the Borno State Government House in Abuja.
However, the police team in charge of his investigation said he escaped when some armed youths attacked them in the process of searching his house. The development cost the then Inspector General of Police, Hafiz Ringim, his job.

Lets hope he doesn't escape again. Anything is possible in Nigeria

Nigerian singer Wizkid Debunks Love Child

Hip pop sensation, Wizkid has debunked the speculation spreading wide in the media that he’e been entangled in a love triangle.
Born Ayo Balogun, the music meteor has since chosen to remain mute ‘about uncomplimentary remarks threatening his burgeoning career.’Defending the tittle-tattle spreading in the media like wild fire, Wizkid said: “I dropped a song where I talked about it. The whole story was a rumour. If I have a family, there is nothing to hide.
After all, I didn’t kill anyone, so there is nothing to hide. I have cleared it times without number.

It’s annoying. People say rubbish, but I have to understand; it’s something I have to deal with. I find it hard because I am
young and such rubbish is being said about me.”
However, Wizkid who was latter re-christened Wizdad by angry fans says though he’s in love but his relationship with other female fans is just cordial. “Yes and they are just friends. But I have someone I am liking.
I have liked her since but she is putting me on a long thing… and it’s because of what people are saying. She is super hot and she has a very good heart.”

It would be recalled that when the news broke out, the Holla at ur boy crooner tweeted ‘Hey All,  Got sumthin to tell yall.
In life, there are those times when you wonder about the wrong decisions you’ve made… This is one of those times for me.

I realize that I haven’t always lived up to everyone’s expectations from my loved ones to the immense love from my fans.
I am sorry. Please continue to pray for me. With the help of my family and my EME big brothers, I am working on becoming a better man, a better artiste, a more responsible person with every one of my actions….”

Nicki Minaj Shines in Madonna Super Bowl Perfomance as Super Bowl breaks beyonce's Twitter record

Super Bowl XLVI yesterday broke all records on Twitter as fans worldwide sent more than 10,000 tweets per second during the climax of the sport showpiece, although opinion about Madonna's half-time show on the microblogging site wildly differed.
According to official statistics released by Twitter, the highest tweets per second came at the end of the NFL season finale, at a record-busting 12,23
During the final minutes of the game, which was won by the New York Giants over the New England Patriots, an average of 10,000 tweets per second were sent by fans, beating the previous record of 9,000 last August when Beyoncé announced her pregnancy at the MTV Video Music Awards. Twitter's previous record for a sporting event was 7,196 tweets per second at the final whistle of Japan's shock victory against the United States in the women's World Cup final in July 2011.The glittering Super Bowl half-time show from Madonna saw an average of 8,000 tweets per second being sent for five minutes, although that peaked at a staggering 10,245.However, Twitter users were rather undecided over the Material Girl's performance, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times.
Analysis provided by San Francisco firm Kanjoya, using an algorithm to monitor the content of social media posts, revealed a mixed range of reactions to the show. The research indicated that the most commonly-used words in posts about Madonna yesterday were "amazing", "great", "good", "best", "bad" and "hating". We here at chigotoday think Nicki Minaj was saved the show from Madonna's lazy performance. btw
 Meanwhile, separate research has indicated that crisp maker Doritos won the battle for the best commercial impact at the Super Bowl.With numerous companies launching expensive ads during the TV extravaganza, the contest to see who ran the most effective campaign is now intense.

Mitt Romney: Obama's easy second term ticket

 Apparently Obama should have more to worry about than a Mitt Money Loving Romney rival, a new poll has suggested. President Barack Obama holds a clear lead over Mitt Romney in a hypothetical general election match-up, according to a new
Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Among all Americans, Obama leads Romney 52 to 43 percent, whereas among registered voters, the presidents has a narrower edge over Romney, 51 to 45 percent. This is the first time that Obama has more than 50 percent of the votes in a match-up against Romney among all Americans since July, when the president led the GOP candidate, 51 to 44 percent.

But the president has progress to make in instilling economic confidence in Americans – asked which candidate can be trusted to do a better job in handling the economy, 48 percent of the general population picked Romney over 45 percent that picked Obama. The Republican frontrunner also fared better job creation, narrowly beating Obama 47 to 45 percent, as well as the handling of the federal budget and deficit, 51 to 41 percent.

It is the first time that the president has topped 50 percent in a match-up against Romney among registered voters.
The survey also showed, however, that people trust Obama will be a better champion of the middle class than Romney, 55 to 37 percent. Also, 56 percent of the general population said they trust that the president would do a better job handling international affairs compared to just 37 percent that picked Romney. Similarly, the majority said the president’s handling of terrorism will be better than Romney’s, 56 to 36 percent.
Obama is also seen as having a better understanding of the American people’s economic problems than Romney, 53 to 36 percent.
The Washington Post-ABC News poll was conducted Feb. 1-4 among 1,000 adults and has a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points.

The Top 5 Healthiest Condiments You Need

Just came across this wonderful article and recommend  you see it:
Here are 5 top picks for the healthiest condiments for a lean healthy body.  Sure, there might be a few others not on this list that are also healthy, but these are the top 5 picks:
Mustard
That's right... mustard is absolutely one of the healthiest condiments!  First, it has no added sugar.  Also, mustard seed itself is a source of powerful antioxidants. 
In addition to the antioxidants in the mustard seed, most yellow mustards also contain turmeric (one of the healthiest anti-cancer spices) and paprika, which both contain powerful antioxidants as well!

Guacamole
I know, I know... when do I ever stop talking about avocados and guacamole.  Sorry, it's one of my favorite foods, and I eat avocados or guac just about every single day.  At this point, I don't think I need to explain why Gauc is healthy, as I think everybody knows this by now... but a quick recap:  lots of healthy fats (that satisfy your appetite and regulate hormone balance), lots of fiber, and plenty of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

And creamy guac just makes anything taste better!  I put it on eggs, on burgers, on chicken or fish, or just eat it with veggie sticks.  If you buy pre-made guac from the store, just be sure to check the ingredients and make sure it doesn't have added trans fats or other artificial ingredients.  But it's so simple and fast to make fresh guac, I don't know why anybody would buy pre-made guac.


Salsa
Although ketchup was on the unhealthy list due to the sugar content, salsa makes the super healthy list as it almost never has added sugars if you get a good brand.  Salsa is mostly just vegetables so it's hard to go wrong.  I like it on my morning eggs for variety sometimes.  I also like to mix salsa half and half with guac for a delicious party treat!
And if you're a ketchup lover and want to reduce your sugar intake, just try salsa instead for a much healthier option.  Trust me... salsa on a burger is just as delicious as ketchup on a burger.

Just remember that the corn chips that people generally cram down their throats with salsa are NOT even close to healthy.  Corn chips are almost always fried in a heavily refined omega-6 oil such as corn or soy oil, and are inflammatory.  Plus, most corn used for corn chips is genetically modified.   Organic corn chips are a small step in the right direction (this ensures it's not GMO corn), but I'd still try to keep the quantity small if you're going to eat corn chips with salsa.

X Factor Host Steve Jones returning for Season 2, talks Melanie's ''Extraordinary'' Win

Rumors have been swirling that X Factor host Steve Jones might be replaced on the FOX show, but after crowning Melanie Amaro as first season champ on Thursday night, he told reporters he’s done his job—and he still wants the job!
Steve, who has been accused of oddball on-camera behavior, defended himself, saying, “I was doing my job. That’s what I was told to do and nobody’s taken me offstage at the end of the show and gone, ‘What the hell are you doing? That’s not what we asked.’ They asked me to do something and I delivered.

“[If] you want to do what you do on the biggest stage possible, you’re going to get a lot of criticism — so it doesn’t really affect me.”
And he’s eager to come back for season two, “If they’ll have me. I mean, we don’t find out until sometime in the new year. I don’t know how it all works.” He shrugged, “If they’ll have me back, I’ll do it. If they don’t, I’ll go do something else.”
When asked if the judges were mean to him, Steve laughed to reporters, “Mean to me? No. Poking me with a stick? ‘Back to your room!’ No, they love me! They’re good people. I look forward to working with them
 again.”
 Many thought Steve was too stiff and didn’t show enough personality on The X Factor. But the hunky Welshman implied he was more effective not being slick. “I’m the host. I’m there to bind it all together and hopefully guide the ship that is X Factor along. It’s not about me. A lot of people have been asking me questions — am I coming back next year? But who cares? I’m the host of the show. It’s all about Melanie and the contestants, their moment. Someone just won five million dollars, that’s extraordinary.”
Steve told reporters after finishing the season that he felt, “A sense of euphoria. I’m proud about the entire season; I’m proud of the judges, our contestants. I’m a little bit proud of myself, too.  I’m happy with it all, I really am.” And he’s “most happy with revealing to Melanie Amaro that she’s won five million dollars.”
The much-criticized host did admit, however, that it hasn’t been all roses: “It’s been a tough ride in the sense that I’ve told a lot of good people some really bad news like Rachel Crow and Drew and that was horrible. That affected me. I don’t know. Maybe I was a bit naïve going into it emotionally.
“I knew it was going to be tough but I just thought it would be professional, what’s happening, well, that’s the show but you connect with these people. I hung out with them for months on end so that was horrible but if you’ll excuse the conceit I think I deserved that little moment where I got to tell Melanie she’d won it. Her face — it was sublime.”
At the end of the show, Melanie was speechless after Steve declared her the winner. And the host said he struggled mightily to get her to open up: “I wanted to hear her say something. It’s wonderful to see her emotional and crying, but say something!”
Steve is hoping he’ll get to experience the special X Factor moments again next season—but likely won’t know his fate until after his American road trip vacation (which he starts on Jan. 8th).

Racism: John Terry to be charged over Anton Ferdinand as suarez is hit with 8-match ban and huge fine

England captain John Terry will face a charge of using racist language towards fellow footballer Anton Ferdinand during a Premier League match.

Mr Terry is alleged to have used racist language towards the 26-year-old Queens Park Rangers player during Chelsea's 1-0 defeat at Loftus Road on 23 October.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said Mr Terry was accused of a racially aggravated public order offence.
The 31-year-old vowed to clear his name and said he was "disappointed".

 Alison Saunders, chief crown prosecutor for London, said: "I have today advised the Metropolitan Police that John Terry should be prosecuted for a racially aggravated public order offence following comments allegedly made during a football match between Queen's Park Rangers and Chelsea on 23 October.

"The decision was taken in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors and, after careful consideration of all the evidence, I am satisfied there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and it is in the public interest to prosecute this case."
 The FA had put its own investigation on hold until the CPS decision was made. An FA spokesman said the organisation was considering its statement.
 Earlier in the morning and before the decision was announced, Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas said: "The only thing I know is that I will be fully supportive of John Terry, whatever the outcome.
"He has my full support, he has the club's full support.
"We know exactly his human values and personality - they are never in doubt."
Mr Terry, who has always maintained his innocence, is due before West London Magistrates' Court on 1 February.
The maximum sentence for the offence is a fine of £2,500.
As a summary offence under the Crime and Disorder Act, it will be fully heard in a magistrates' court.
......... Luis Suarez banned

Luis Suarez was given an eight-match ban for racially abusing Manchester United’s Patrice Evra, sparking a furious response by Liverpool to the FA’s ruling.

An FA statement said the 24-year-old Uruguay striker had used words that ‘included a reference to Mr Evra’s colour’ when United and Liverpool met at Anfield on October 15, which amounts to a serious breach of the governing body’s rules.
His charges:

• Explaining the decision of the commission, it added: ‘(1) Mr Suarez used insulting words towards Mr Evra during the match contrary to FA Rule E3(1); (2) the insulting words used by Mr Suarez included a reference to Mr Evra’s colour within the meaning of Rule E3(2); (3)  Mr Suarez shall be warned as to his future conduct, be suspended for 8 matches covering all first team competitive matches and fined the sum of £40,000; (4) the (penalty) is suspended pending the outcome of any appeal lodged by Mr Suarez against this decision.’

After having spent a further four days considering evidence from last week’s disciplinary hearing, the three-man Independent Regulatory Commission also fined Suarez £40,000.

Liverpool supports the racist

Liverpool were quick to condemn the verdict, attacking the FA’s process and suggesting they had decided Suarez was guilty before hearing his side of the story.

The club issued a statement shortly after the ruling was made public on the FA’s website.

It read: ‘It appears to us that the FA were determined to bring charges against Luis Suarez, even before interviewing him.’

The statement went on to call for Evra to be investigated for abusive comments directed at Suarez.

United Kingdom blacklists Nigerian universities

 According to the General Medical Council of  United Kingdom (GMC),  Medical graduates from nine universities in Nigeria will no longer be able to obtain licenses to practice in the United Kingdom, following a decision by the body to ban nine higher institutions in Nigeria.


The GMC, a body of independent regulators which registers medical doctors to practise in the UK, took the decision to bar graduates from the nine universities from writing PLAB.
PLAB is the UK exam that enables non-UK Medical graduates to undertake post-graduate medical training in the country.
The affected graduates are those who graduated after December 10, 2010 from Ambrose Ali University, Ebonyi State University, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Nnamdi Azikiwe University, University of Jos, University of Nigeria and the University of Port Harcourt.
It also applies to those who graduated on or after April 1, 2010 from Igbinedion University College of Health Sciences and the University of Benin.
According to Jason Day of the GMC's press office, the schools were axed because they no longer meet the required standards for practise in the UK.
He added that the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) had also advised that they suspend accreditation of some medical schools in the country.
“The decision only applies to students who graduated from those medical schools after the MDCN suspended their accreditation,” Day said The Educational Sector needs to be given more attention otherwise the decaying infrastructures will be a major catalyst for more brain drain in the country.

Suspected Boko Haram Gunmen Storm Airforce School in Kano...Kill Many

Armed men suspected to be terrorist of the Boko Haram sect were reported this morning to have struck in Kano State killing several soldiers at Air Force Comprehensive School, Kwa, Kano.

Details are still sketchy but sources said several military personnel were killed, and many others injured.

Armed soldiers and plain clothes security had sealed the area.

A doctor who had treated some of the injured said to his knowledge four soldiers are already feared killed.

The most telling aspect of this incident is that a neighbourhood group had began scouring the area after the incident and  on a raid of a suspicious building had found audio tapes of Mohammed Yusuf the late founder of the Boko Haram sect a strong indicator of who was behind the attack.

Say What: Egyptian blogger bags two years jail term for criticizing military government

For criticizing the Egyptian armed forces and allegedly publishing false information, a political activist has bagged two years in prison.

Maikel Nabil Sanad was handed the sentence by an Egyptian military court after an appeal against a previous judgement of three years handed him by a lower court.

Sanad was arrested after posts on his blog (www.maikelnabil.com) made unfavourable comparisons between the military government and that of the former regime of President Hosni Mubarak, toppled in February by a popular uprising.

He is one of 12,000 civilians who have faced military trials this year; a practice critics say deprives the accused of their rights. Amnesty International claims Sanad is a ‘prisoner of conscience’, while the U.S. government has expressed concerns about his detention.

Over 40 die in Rivers boat mishap

No fewer than 40 persons were feared dead on Tuesday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, South South Nigeria when an overloaded passenger boat carrying 47 passengers capsized and emptied its human content into the Rumuolumeni River.
The unfortunate incident, according to reports happened around 9:30 pm while the boat was travelling from high-brow Eagle Island in the state capital.The Rumuolumeni River passes through the back of the expansive premises of the Italian oil giant, the Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) to Iwofe, Port Harcourt. The wooden boat was traveling between Eagle Island and Mgbuodohia community, official Chima Amadi told AFP, the boat was the only reliable means of transport to Port Harcourt because of the bad condition of roads in the area. “More than 40 passengers were on the boat,” he said.

 Seven of the passengers, including a two-year-old baby, had so far been rescued, while divers, as at press time, were still combing the river for corpses of the victims. The dead have already been given a mass burial beside the river.

The Internet Diet and Nutrition Classic, Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle: “The Bible of Fat Loss.”

Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle has been around a long time, at least in Internet years. It was released in 2003 and was one of the first diet and nutrition e-books ever published. Today there are e-books all over the web, not to mention more supplements, weight loss programs, ab machines, workout videos and “magic” diet pills than you can keep track of.

Even when your gut instincts tell you all these “fast and easy”, “just take a pill” weight loss claims are too good to be true, sometimes the advertisements press your emotional buttons so well that your curiosity gets the best of you.

But after getting burned enough times, you eventually smarten up. You swear off “quick fixes” and you finally figure out the long way (through your own experience), about what really works; a calorie deficit, proper nutrition, intelligent training, changing your lifestyle and replacing your old negative habits with positive new ones.

Through all the Internet diets that have come and gone in the last decade, this e-book is one that has stood the test of time. It has been an Internet best seller every year since 2003. Men and women of all ages in over 141 countries have lost anywhere from a few pounds to 253 pounds using Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle. The program consistently gets positive reviews and has earned a reputation for being sensible, science-based, honest and effective.

The author, Tom Venuto, received his degree in exercise science and has held certifications as a strength and conditioning specialist and personal trainer, but more importantly, Tom walks the talk. He is a natural-for-life bodybuilder, which means that he’s never taken steroids or other body-enhancing drugs. Venuto has competed in bodybuilding 28 times and has 6-pack abs you have to see to believe (check out the picture at www.burnthefat.com of Tom at 3.7% body fat).

Although Tom admits that he was never obese, he says he always struggled with stomach fat and never saw his abs until he’d gone through many years of trial and error and a lot of hard work.  Many people are encouraged when they hear that Tom is a lot like them and that he was not genetically predisposed to be lean. It gives them the hope that they can do it too.

Now that you know about the history and the author, here’s a quick overview of what you’ll find when you read Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle.

Burn The Fat, Feed the Muscle is published in Adobe PDF format so you can download the e-book. It’s on the long side at 300+ pages, so if you’re looking for a Cliff’s Notes type of read, this might not be the book you want. On the other hand, if you’re a detail person or if you want to know not just what to do, but also why you’re doing it, then Burn The Fat, Feed the Muscle is exactly what you’re looking for.

For more than 20 years, the author has studied physique athletes (bodybuilders, female figure competitors and fitness models). That’s the whole premise of this book: If you want to get lean as quickly as possible, wouldn’t it make sense to find the leanest people in the world, find out how they did it and do what they do?

When you read more about this on the web page at www.BurnTheFat.com, the idea of a program based on bodybuilder and fitness model techniques makes perfect sense, although it does intimidate some people at first.

In the introduction of the book however, Venuto points out: “Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle was created BY a bodybuilder, but it’s not just FOR bodybuilders.” In fact, the book easily could have been titled, “What every man and woman can learn from bodybuilders about permanent fat loss.”

The nutrition techniques will work for anyone because they progress in stages from beginner to advanced. Unless you plan on competing in a fitness or bodybuilding competition, you’ll only need to use phase one, aka, the “baseline” diet. If you want to get “ripped”, with the six pack abs look – you can use phase two and phase three of the program, where you will find the more advanced techniques that many people have used to prepare for their first bodybuilding or figure competitions.  

The main focus of the e-book is nutrition, because nutrition is arguably the most important key to getting lean. You could have the best training program in the world, but if you eat more calories than you burn, you’ll gain fat regardless of your well-designed training plan.

In the chapters on nutrition, you’ll learn how to set up a meal plan you can enjoy by using Tom’s menu “template” system: You just choose the foods you like (pick from the recommended food lists), plug them into the meal plan template, and your menus virtually create themselves. Sample menus are also provided for ideas.

You also learn the truth about six pack abs: Body fat tissue lies on TOP of the abdominal muscles, so you’ll NEVER see your abs unless your body fat gets low enough. You can’t burn fat off your abs with abdominal exercises like crunches or sit ups. You must get the nutrition right to achieve very low body fat levels.

In Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle, you learn everything you need to know about calories, protein, carbs and fat to get low levels of body fat. You’ll learn the facts about low carb and high protein diets. You’ll get the inside scoop on fat burning foods – including lists of what to eat and when to eat them.

You also learn how to set up a training program. These are the same workout routines used by top natural bodybuilding and fitness champions.  However, Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle nutrition works in combination with any training program (so you can use your own workout if you choose).

The 2 components are weight training and cardiovascular training. You’ll need access to basic equipment at home like dumbbells and barbells or you can train in a gym. One caveat: This e-book doesn’t give you photos or detailed instructions on how to perform each exercise. There’s more attention given to nutrition than training in this e-book, and if you use the training programs, it assumes you know how to perform basic weight training exercises.

Customizing your program is a major theme in chapter 5, which explains metabolic individuality and how to figure out your unique body type.  The major lesson is: There’s no one-size-fits-all nutrition program. If you have special needs, for example, if you’re lactose intolerant, allergic to gluten or if you’re just a picky eater, you can easily modify the menus to work for you.

In addition to the nutrition and training plan, chapter one contains what is probably the best explanation of goal setting, mental training and the psychology of motivation that you will ever read in any book. If you know what to do but you have a hard time doing it (ie, if old bad habits keep haunting you or if you’re inconsistent with your diet or nutrition), you’ll find the solution in the mental training, not the physical training.

In summary, Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle is no quick fix. You don’t get six pack abs or a body like a fitness model by training a few minutes a day and eating haphazardly or cheating frequently. This program calls for structure and requires effort. In fact, many Burn The Fat customers have said that the main reason they bought the program was because it openly admits that fat loss is hard work. However, it’s worth it because if you follow the program, there’s no question that you will get very, very lean.

After all these years, Tom Venuto’s Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle is a classic in the diet and nutrition e-book genre. There are many imitators and copycats, but if you want the original, this is it. Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle is literally the “bible of fat loss.”
