Get Leaner While Others Pack On Holiday Pounds???
There’s a huge buzz about this and I definitely wanted to post a few words about it here… Are you in?
A few days ago, fat loss author/expert Tom Venuto issued a bold challenge to hundreds of thousands of people…
Basically, he “called them out,” (but in a motivating sort of way, that is).
Tom was making an announcement about a new type of fitness transformation challenge contest that will run – get this – through ALL the holidays: Thankgiving (US), Christmas and New Years.
He actually suggested that now is the BEST time to transform your body and that procrastinating until New Year’s is a pointless waste of time. If you wanted a better body, why wait, right?
He also said that he thinks its downright “neurotic” to believe that you can’t get leaner AND enjoy holiday food at the same time. According to Tom, that is a catastrophic form of “EITHER / OR THINKING” which leads many people to procrastination or self-sabotage.
You can read more of Tom’s “call to action” right here: Call to Action
To say there was a “response” would be an understatement…
Tom’s blog had something like 500 comments on it when he first issued this challenge and he hasn’t even opened the contest registration yet.
He also hasn’t released the prize package list yet, but rumor has it, he is sending the overall winners somewhere tropical… a warm place to show off a hot new body in the dead of winter! Nice.
But if it wasn’t the prizes, what created all the buzz, then?
Well, Tom simply asked two questions in his challenge announcement:
(1) “Are you concerned about dealing with holiday food and drink temptations that might lead you to become one of the “holiday fat gain” statistics?”
(2) “If so…. DO YOU ACCEPT MY CHALLENGE TO GET IN BETTER SHAPE OVER THE HOLIDAYS?”
Hundreds upon hundreds of people raised their hands and said, “YES, I accept the challenge!”
It became clear that what people need more than “another diet program” is MOTIVATION…. INSPIRATION…and a REASON WHY to get up, move, and change the things that need improving.
By providing a goal (a contest), a source of motivation (prizes and recognition), accountability (A forum with THOUSANDS of like-minded fitness enthusiasts to help you along) and expert advice (a place with coaching and education resources), THAT combination was the trigger that had so many people say YES to this challenge.
Maybe, if you too say “YES, I accept your challenge,” a fitness competition during the holidays could be an event that not only keeps you from gaining fat from the season’s indulgences, but could inspire and motivate you to achieve your best shape of the year, or even the best shape of your life.
I can tell you this: I’ve heard it myself from a lot of people; it’s reward enough to get through the “holidaze” in better shape than you began them; winning would just be the icing on the cake.
I agree. And I believe you CAN do it NOW – DURING the holidays – while enjoying the food and festivities (with balance and moderation), and you will NOT be one of the procrastinators who say, “I’ll start after New Year’s day.” This is going to be fun!
Tom’s Burn The Fat Inner Circle Will be “CONTEST CENTRAL”

Fantastic site, I really like your writing style. Very distinctive and to the point. I don’t have time to read all the information here right now, I found this site when looking for something else on Bing, but I’ve bookmarked your homepage and will visit again soon to see what’s new. I really appreciate you having this website. As someone who has struggled myself, I have started a site devoted to resources about it. Click here if you’d like to check out my site. Keep up the fine work!
nice post. thanks.
There is definitely no better time to transform your body than during the holidays. Waiting until New Years will only make you gain more weight and there is a possibility that you won’t commit to your weight loss plan.
There will be millions of people making a New Years resolution to live healthier lives but if you are smart then you will start today and not wait till New Years.
Luis @ love handle exercises´s last blog ..Can You Lose Weight Without Dieting?- You’re In For A Shock!
During holidays, there are greater chances that you may add some extra weight to your body due to over consumption of junk foods etc. So, special care is needed to be taken specially during holidays.
It is very important to keep an eye upon what you eat specially during holidays. Because, during holidays the eating schedule becomes disturbed, so, more chances of putting on weight.
I really appreciate it .Fantastic site, I really like your writing style. Very distinctive and to the point
That’s a pretty cool fitness challenge. I think we are making a huge mistake turning eating into an event. From eating out to going the the movies, we turn eating food into a major part of the satisfaction.
Every year our entire family from both sides come to our house for Thanksgiving dinner. This year we had two turkeys and two double smoked hams. The hams alone were 24 and 26 pounds. My wife spends two days cooking and preparing. We had so much food we had to bring in a second table to put the dishes on. My whole attitude is changing when it comes to celebrating with food. I’m not going to preach but I seriously do think we are making a huge mistake, especially on holidays. I bet no one will want to come to our home next year. If it’s not healthy, we wont be serving it.

Wow Brian… that is a ton of food! It’s true… most people eat horribly during the holidays! There are some dinners I go to that don’t have a healthy food on the table (well turkey’s not too bad) and I really wish they would! So it’s only healthy food next year huh?
Nice contribution. Thanks.
During holidays, the chances of being overweight increases twofold due to over- eating. On the other hand, one can utilize this free time during holidays to do some extra physical activity and loose those extra pounds.
holidaying can be fun and make us forget that we are on tight diet…that’s normal i think..
i know this sounds dumb but when you don’t eat for awhile, your body goes into starvation mode…meaning your body thinks you are starving yourself. you body then keeps all the fat and food you eat and whatever else you put into your body as fuel…for those ’starve days’. you should eat throughout the day weather it is a small snack bar or a peice of fruit so your metabolism can keep working…therefore, it thinks (because you eat throughout the day) that you are feeding it properlly
This doesn’t sound dumb… it’s actually true (at least from what I’ve read). That’s why “starvation diets” never work. Snacking and eating small portions throughout the day seem to work the best. Thanks for visiting!
