I know the grand majority of the people who read this blog are down with losing weight, or bulking up, the good old fashioned way, but I wish this was shown to the masses in some sort of way to dispel myths of unusual and usually nonsensical forms of dieting and just “how amazing and effective it is!” which is “proven” through before and after photos.
I will add that I am sure there are real diet before and after photos, and there are diets out there that truly work, but please please please, do the research and don’t be fooled by the photos.

Half of that guy’s “before” paunch is just crappy posture. Standing up straight, flexing his arms and getting a spray tan would have put him almost to “after” without doing anything else!
Saw that a couple of months ago. He was even featured on 20/20. Awesomeness.
Thats mad!
