Raya Kuzyk Recommends The Body Fat Solution
Raya Kuzyk -- Library Journal, 12/11/2008 1:04:00 PM
Recommendation No. 1: The Body Fat Solution: 5 Principles for Burning Fat, Building Lean Muscle, Ending Emotional Eating, and Maintaining Your Perfect Weight by Tom Venuto. Venuto gets at all the 
physical, psychological, and even sociological aspects of overeating, outlining a program of mental, cardio, and strength training stressing accountability and self-control. Nothing fluffy about this book: just well-founded scientific research and clearly illustrated direction.
Ideal recipient: Anyone going home for the holidays.
Nonbook Tie-ins: Venuto’s earlier Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle ebook and the simultaneous audiobook release of The Body Fat Solution (CD & digital download, Sound Library: BBC Audiobooks America), which includes bonus PDF exercise/diet plans and a Q&A with the author.
Recommendation No. 2: Witness to the Mob, the 1998 Robert De Niro–produced TV miniseries chronicling the
life of John Gotti underboss Sammy “The Bull” Gravano, at long last comes to DVD (KOCH Vision). This true-crime adaptation of Peter Maas’s New York Times best seller, Underboss, stars Nicholas Turturro, Tom Sizemore, Debi Mazar, and three Sopranos regulars: Michael Imperioli, Frank Vincent, and Vincent Pastore.
Ideal recipient: The Sopranos fan still in withdrawal.
Nonbook Tie-in: Another chronicling of a mafia takedown, this one by FBI agent Joaquin “Jack” Garcia: the audiobook Making Jack Falcone, read by three-time Audie® Award winner Dick Hill (CD & MP3-CD, Tantor Media).
