Both are excellent. I followed BFFM and lost 85 pounds in 15 monhts. I then followed BBR and gained 10 pounds in about three months with no change in skinfold testing (although there is potential for error). There is a lot of crossover in what both programs recommend as far was what you should eat. I feel BFFM provides a lot more of the why and generally I preferred Tom's writing style. John is correct that the sample workouts are completely different in the two programs though and based on your post BBR might make more sense.

Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle is written specifically to people looking to lose fat, but it is largely a nutrition based program, so it involves a complete re-education about topics such as calorie intake, macronutrient ratios, optimal water intake, protein needs, carb tolerance, good fats versus bad fats, metabolic individuality, etc. Many people use the Burn The Fat, Feed the Muscle program to build muscle because the same principles apply to both fat loss and muscle gain. The one area that BFFM does not cover is training for muscle gain (the sample training programs are all for fat loss) - but I don't think this would effect you with your CST background. Plus, I know Tom personally, and he is always open to the fact that training can be approached many different ways for both fat loss and muscle gain. So, yes, you will learn Nutrition 101 from Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle. In case you're interested, Tom often endorses Will Brink's Bodybuilding Revealed program for people interested in musclebuilding: <a href="http://jsifferman.bbrevealed.hop.clickbank.net/?w=0" rel="nofollow">www.bodybuildingrevealed.com</a> I haven't reviewed it myself yet. Best, John Hi Damien,

I have to scroll past the pictures really really fast so I don't experience IOOH (Immediate Onset Of Hunger). Do you work for Cabot Cheese right over in VT? I live in Southern NH.

Will need to spend more time looking around! This book you reccomend "burn the fat feed the muscle". I went to the website and it all seems to be about fat loss.... I'm one of those individuals for which fat loss is not even close to being an issue, it's all about muscle gain for me. I am interested in deepening my knowledge about nutrition so wondering if this is still a good resource regardless? Thanks! Hi John,
