I bought it and like it a lot. Venuto has obviously done the work himself and coached enough other people to get a truly broad understanding of how things work.

On the down side, he doesn't believe in long-term low carb. He has an old-fashioned BBer's view that low carb is only for pre-contest (and "some" unlucky body types). When I read between the lines I see him basing everything on sugar burning mainly.

But, his sections on goals, monitoring success, cardio and strength are good explanations of conventional thinking. I say conventional as in "tried and true" because his stuff really does work if you work it. But you have to exercise a ton to burn off all the carbs.

Only thing is he is not aware of more recent understandings of the power that can be had with fat-burning. I think because when he came up, it was all about carbs in one way or another.

Thank you for the opinion. I haven't committed to buying the e-book, but was looking for thoughts.

Your insight is valued.
