The Fat Burning Furnace is a weight loss program, created by Rob Poulos, that combines diet and exercise.

The full Fat Burning Furnace program consists of 3 e-books (The Fat Burning Furnace main e-book, optional Blowtorch Training Manual e-book, and Advanced Workout Logs e-book), a Metabolic Rate Counter, a Body Fat Analyzer and a series of online training videos. The 3 e-books are downloadable while the Metabolic Rate Counter, Body Fat Analyzer and training videos are viewable online.
If there was one core sentence of the book – it would be these three 
“..enormously powerful secret to getting the body you want”
“Just one more pound of muscle added to your body will require an extra 40-50 or so calories per day to keep it alive. Just think if you add 20 pounds of lean muscle tissue…you’re automatically burning an additional 800-1000 calories per day, just sitting on your behind watching TV or at work! And guess what happens when you’re burning more calories than you need to maintain your current bodyweight? You have a calorie deficit, and your body begins to shed fat.”
In other words – the long term effects of exercise are massive.
In addtion to the long term effects , the exercise will also directly boost your metabolism for period that extends longer than the actual workout as your body will need to burn calories to repair the muscle that is ‘broken down’ during your weight training exercises. This repair process will take 24-48 hours during which your body will be continuously burning calories.
Now, you could take this information and use any weight training system you want, but Robs workout is special
Unlike other training programs that ask you to perform 3-4 sets of each exercise, Rob only asks you to perform a single set. That’s it!
The thing that sets Robs sets apart is the rep execution speed. You are expected perform each exercise at a specified tempo. For example; 3 seconds to lower the weight and 4 seconds to lift the weight. This makes a lot of sense in terms of pure mechanics, as it tends to put much less stress on your joints end lower the risk of injury.
It also means that you workout will be short. No hours slogging away at the gym. Just 15 minutes per day, three times a week.
Another big secret Rob has found is that you can achieve outstanding cardiovascular health with the type of strength training recommended in his book by mimicking the
style of interval cardio…keeping the intensity super high and keeping rest periods between exercises on the low side.
Quoting again:
“Having practiced this exercise for many years, my resting heart rate is around 40 beats per minute, and I have astounded more than a handful of physicians when I tell them I perform little or no aerobics! It always makes me chuckle when they ask”
The book is similar to other books that focus on exercise rather than diets, and the actual diet portion is slim (pun attempted..).
There’s quite a bit of discussion about nutrients, but his stance on the matter is pretty clear as he talks about concentrating on the big picture.
Rob considers hyper focusing on the details is a a mistake since nutrition and health are the result of complex biochemical systems that not even the scientists fully understand.
So he does no go into much detail with regards to specific vitamins or grams per day, but rather discusses nutrition on a higher level, and I think that’s fair.
I really like this book.
It’s well written, easy to read and very interesting.
It’s certainly controversial at times and a excercise manual more than a dieting book, but I think that is made pretty clear to anyone who wants to buy it.
