Here are some photos of Dr John Berardi that were in an article on elitefts.com. The article is about intermittent fasting, and can be found here: http://articles.elitefts.com/articles/nutrition/intermittent-fasting-big-help-or-big-hype/
Interesting short article.
Anyways, he attached the following two photo sets. The first one is him at 10%, and the second is him at 4%. With all lean body mass remaining, this would be my general condition at 210lbs, and then at 196lbs. Dr Berardi is obviously far more well developed than I am, so I would not be quite so bomb looking, but this gives another glimpse at different body fat percentages. I am currently sitting at 253lbs and about 25%, which is admittedly far away from my goal, but way closer than it seems. Just a little dietary discipline and the addition of cardio, and I think I could be within spitting distance of single digits by next mid-Summer for sure.
Anyways, on to the photos. The first set is 10% bodyfat, the second is 4%. Had trouble locating his bodyweight and height.
ou'll probably observe that the most noticeable difference shows through in the abdominal definition and back definition. Some of this is due to the dramatic lighting of the second set of photos. You may also notice his face actually leaned up a little bit, even though it was certainly not chubby or anything in the before photos.
I don't have a great set of before and after photos, because I frankly was just not that interested in photographic proof of my fatness. So, in light of that information, here are the best I can do. These first two are from when I hiked the Grand Canyon in October 2010. This was actually not my top end weight. In these I weighed about 280 or so, and I estimate that I was easily over 40% body fat. Probably in the range of 45%. I topped out by the end of the year at 300lbs, and probably close to 50% body fat, but I literally have NO pictures of this stage of my life.
Now, this is the best I could do for progress pictures. This is me all bossed up for a night out with Blaise. This is very recent, and I'm about 258lbs and 26% body fat. Obviously, since I'm wearing a suit jacket you cannot really see much, but for those in the know, I went from a size 56R jacket in January at my largest to a 48R in this picture:
