Todays weight is 219 lbs and 18.2% bodyfat. So far the weekly average is about 2-3 lbs. This is pretty good considering my actual bodyfat percentage is closer to an estimated 15%. When your body fat levels get down to these levels it gets much more difficult to shed it. The reason for this is because cutting additional calories puts you in danger of burning up valuable muscle mass. The body does not want to go lower because it’s not generally in it’s best interest. This is why bodybuilders put their health at risk when they diet down to 4% bodyfat. Some have even died doing this. I certainly don’t plan to go this low, but I do want to hit 10%. If you want to see a normal guy, not a bodybuilder, who actually decided to go the route of a bodybuilder as an experiment, check out the documentary film, “I Want to Look Like That Guy” by Stuart MacDonald. His journey will show anyone the kinds of real sacrifices it takes in order to look so amazing. I consider this film required viewing for anyone who lusts after the elusive washboard abs and chiseled physique.
