Q: Can you evaluate this particular page of this website? It almost completely contradicts your advice and I would like to know what you think about what he says since I am such a big fan of your site. http://www.weightlossforall.com/fat-loss-tricks.htm

A: Sure. I don't think I contradict Tom Venuto that much. I'll go through his main points one by one and compare them to my own recommendations.

• DO CARDIO DAILY. Disagree. http://www.mikesfitness.com/content/cardio-does-not-destroy-muscle-when-... summarizes my reasons and http://www.mikesfitness.com/content/weight-training-better-than-cardio details at least one man's experiences where my advice seemed to have helped (granted, one example doesn't prove a theory :). One thing I don't like about Tom's reasons is that 'pro bodybuilders and fitness models do lots of cardio'. As I've said in answers to several questions, it's a big mistake to compare an average Joe or Jane to a pro bodybuilder or fitness models. The latter are much more genetically gifted and can benefit from much more stringent training, have superior training facilities, superior diets, and (an ugly truth) are often supplementing with anabolic steroids. What works for them will not necessarily work for you.
• DO YOUR CARDIO FIRST THING IN THE MORNING ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. Disagree. I gave my reasoning in http://www.mikesfitness.com/content/trainer-advises-cardio-empty-stomach where I explain why the argument that empty-stomach cardio will tap into fat reserves is flawed. By that logic we might as well not eat so our bodies are forced to tap into those same fat reserves! It doesn't make any sense.
• REDUCE YOUR CARBS, BUT DON'T CUT THEM ALL OUT AND DON'T STAY ON LOW CARBS TOO LONG. Agree. We differ slightly on how much carbs to consume and for how long one can stay on a cutting cycle (I say stay on it as long as it works instead of putting a cap on the time), but we basically agree on this.
• RAISE YOUR LEAN PROTEIN AND HEALTHY FATS. Absolutely agree 100%.
• GET TOTAL CLARITY OF PURPOSE. Absolute agree. Pick your goal and stick to it for at least a few months before re-evaluating.
• 5 MEALS A DAY FOR WOMEN, SIX MEALS A DAY FOR MEN.... OR JUST FUGGETABOUTIT! Absolutely agree. In fact, the more meals the better, as long as the total amount of food you eat is the same. Make meals as small and as frequent as you can.
• GO EASY ON THOSE PROTEIN BARS AND MEAL REPLACEMENT SHAKES - FOCUS ON REAL FOOD. Absolutely agree 100%.
• HIIT THE FAT! Absolutely agree. HIIT is a tremendous fat-burner and an excellent replacement for long cardio sessions. I haven't given it too much time, but I did mention it in Q&A #42 and #33.
• DO ALL YOUR CARDIO HARDER. Somewhat agree. I do advise to do cardio at moderate to brisk pace, not slow pace. I don't advise to do it all-out, unless it's a short HIIT session. Your muscles need time to recover in between weight-training sessions and lengthy all-out cardio will prevent that.
• USE THE ADVANCED THREE DAY SPLIT ROUTINE. Somewhat agree. Split routines can be very good and full-body routines can be very good. Split routines are well suited to higher volume training for each body part and are very popular with bodybuilders. I advise using both approaches in your training. Variety is good.

So I think on the whole it's not a total disaster trying to follow both Tom's and my advice. The main difference is the amount of cardio and cardio on the empty stomach. You'll have to decide who to believe there. A good approach would be trying each advice for a month or two and seeing for yourself.
