For the past 12 weeks I’ve been using the Venus Factor program to try and lose weight.
It’s been an interesting experience so I thought I’d write this post to share my review and results.
Here are the main contents of this review..

Otherwise let’s continue with the review!
For the past 13 years I’ve been working behind a desk for a construction business.
When I started this job I was pretty slim but over the years I’ve been snacking waaaay too much and not doing
enough any exercise.
So as you can probably guess after 13 years of living like this I wasn’t the slim chick I once was.
It got to the point where I didn’t even go out anymore, I just didn’t have the energy and I was sad about the way I looked.
I was 35 pounds overweight and my outlook on life was pretty dim until I came across an ad for the Venus Factor one day while I was on Facebook.
I desperately needed to lose some weight so I decided to give it a go as it was only $37.
So here we are 3 months later and I’m writing this post to share my results and hopefullyhelp you lose weight too. That’s my goal!
So let’s start with..
The Venus Factor is a 12 week weight loss program that is supposed to help you burn fat, lose weight and get in shape.
It’s only for women.
Here’s what you get when you buy the Venus Factor.
12 week fat loss system e-book – So this is the main product. It’s a 180 page ebook but round 80 pages are meal plans to follow.
It took me a couple of hours to read through.
In this book you will learn the whole Venus Factor system and why women need to eat differently to men.
It basically explains a new way of eating for women to burn fat and gives you an exact schedule to follow.
There’s a lot of information in here and I had to read the entire book twice just to make sure everything sank in.
But it’s all pretty easy to follow even if you’re a bit slow sometimes, like me.
The Venus Factor guide opened my eyes to a better way of eating as a woman and how I can eat to lose weight but also stay healthy.
It tells you all the right foods to eat to burn fat and lose weight with meal plans included.
12 week workout system – This is a 12 workout plan that goes along with the diet plan.
As you probably already know, if you want to lose weight then you need to exercise.
As someone who hasn’t exercised since I was at school I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to do the Venus Factor workouts just because I was so unfit but I was wrong.
Even I was able to follow the workouts. I struggled at first but gradually over the weeks and months as I lost weight and got in better shape the workouts became easier.
They mainly focus on resistance exercises such as push ups and squats and exercises where you use your own body weight as resistance.
This is because resistance workouts are much more effective at burning fat.
You can actually burn twice as many calories in a resistance workout than you would with a cardio workout such as running on the treadmill.
The Venus Factor program will have you doing lots of different exercises to burn fat.
Some of them you probably wont have heard of before but don’t worry because you can click on any of the exercises and it takes you to a video that shows you how to do it step by step.
This is really well thought out and I just like that they took the time to create over 136 videos.
They’re only a minute or two each and they’re really good at showing you how to do the exercise.
Exercise is really important and I think the Venus Factor workout program is top notch.
The workouts are challenging and will leave you in a good sweat but not so grueling that it leaves you feeling like a zombie for the rest of the day.
When you combine the workouts with the eating plan you’ll be amazed at how fast you start to lose weight and you’ll notice big changes in your appearance.
So next up we have the…
The Venus Factor comes with a handy little nutrition calculator.
You enter in your height, age and weight and some basic measurements and it tells you exactly how many calories you should consume to lose weight.
Losing weight is all about burning off more calories than you consume. When you do this your body needs energy and the first place it goes it to your fat stores.
So it’s really important to make sure that you’re eating the right amount of calories so that you burn as much fat as possible.
So make sure that you use the nutrition calculator as it’s really important for your success!
I think the private forum is one of the best things about the Venus Factor because it’s very active and the introductions section alone has over 49,000 posts.
Right now there are over 500,000 membersand there always seem to be lots of people online to answer questions.
So if you ever get stuck with something or need advice it’s pretty cool that there are thousands of other women who have gone through the Venus Factor and are there to help you.
One of the first things I noticed when I bought the Venus Factor and looked through the forum is that there are many women on there having success and losing weight which encouraged me to do the same.
It was good to see that there were people having success with the product.
Even if you don’t want to post on the forum you will still gain a lot just by reading the helpful stuff on there.
One of my favorite threads on the forum is called;
The last 10 pounds thread has over 394 posts in it from women on their way to losing the last few pounds. There’s some really helpful tips in there.
The forum isn’t just to talk about the Venus Factor either. There’s lots of other stuff on there about losing weight and improving health.
In my opinion the forum alone is worth the $37 the Venus Factor costs just because there’s so much helpful stuff on there about losing weight from real people.
You will need extra equipment for the workouts – Luckily for me I was able to borrow the equipment from a guy at work.
Some of the equipment needed for the workouts are;
- Dumbbells (I use 6lb and 10lb dumbbells)
- Resistance bands
- A workout bench
The bench is kind of optional as you can just use a sturdy chair. In fact there are plenty of exercises in the Venus Factor that don’t require any equipment at all but if you can I would recommend the equipment above.
You should be able to get all of the above for less than $100.
It’s easy to follow – After you’ve gone through all the material you’re pretty much set to go as all the meal plans and workouts are there for you to follow.
You’ll know when to exercise and what to do in your workout and you’ll know exactly what to eat and how much. You can even get started today if you like.
The community is amazing – Reading posts in the Venus Factor forum from women who have purchased and are seeing results will motivate you to get your own results and if you ever have a question then you can get help super fast.
The workouts are very effective – If you hate the treadmill then the Venus Factor workouts may be just what you need.
They’re all about body weight exercise and resistance training. This is because resistance training tones the muscles and burns fat faster than regular cardio.
The workouts aren’t very long but they’re great at burning fat. This is great if you’re busy and don’t have hours to spend on the treadmill every day.
You’ll see results fast – Because you’ll be eating the right foods, exercising regularly and will be on a calorie deficit you’ll lose weight very fast. It’s amazing how fast you start to lose weight and see results.
I started losing weight within days.
If you’re thinking about buying the Venus Factor then I expect there’s one question on your mind right now..
The question: If I follow the Venus Factor system will I lose weight?
Well I’m about to share my results with you and then help you decide whether you should buy it or not.
I’m happy to say that after following the V.F system for 12 weeks I have lost weight!
I even kept a log of how much weight I lost week by week. I like to write stuff down and keep diaries.
So as I said earlier my goal was to lose 35 pounds. That’s a big goal as 35 pounds is quite a lot of fat to get rid of.
Here’s how much weight I lost week by week..
