Weight Loss - Before and After Fakes?
Anyone seen those before and after photos from a weight loss program? Do you believe they're real? I'm always skeptical about those photos. Never really trusted them...
The only photos I do trust are the photos from The Biggest Loser. Awesome.
There are ways of photoshopping images to make a person's starting size look much worse than it really is, and a person's after picture look much better than it really is. There's a scene about this in Bigger, Faster, Stronger that you could probably find on youtube.
first off i agree with personal projects. I think some are real some are fake. in that picture the guy is smiling got a haircut, shaved his bod, got a tan, and is wearing nicer clothes. So it isn't just a weight change picture.
I used to believe they were real :c but nowadays it's easy to do something like that, maybe not to the extremes of the picture you have in your blog, but with the right lighting, posing + photoshop it can be faked easily enough
Most of them are complete bullshit, at the very best the person worked out and then they shopped, tanned, and changed their standing position to make them look the best they could.
I do not think I could believe those pics... unless the guy was that ripped to begin with, then on purpose got reallllly fat, and lost it all just to become famous and get his own tv show or work out video.
I think that some of those photos are real and some aren't. I know people who have actually been in a weight loss commercial that really did work for them, so at least those photos are real. :)
i heard that they hire professional trainers to get fat, then to lose the weight again.
ReplyDeleteif so, it's not that improbable, except the faces don't match
I believe plenty of the before/after photos are real, but they don't get there from bow-flex and shit.

ReplyDeletewait that cant be real
ReplyDeleteBefore/after photos are almost all fake or heavily modified afaik.
ReplyDeletelooks pretty fake
ReplyDeleteIT'S OVER 9000!!!!! fake. Folo
ReplyDeleteI too have been very skeptic of these shots. Lots of the time they look like two completely different people.
ReplyDeletePhotoshopping has become a art...lol
ReplyDeleteI understand that your face may change a bit after weight loss, but that's ridiculous, come on the dude doesn't even look the same.
ReplyDeleteThe face doesn't even look the same...
ReplyDeletehahaha some of these kind of pictures are so unbelieveable
ReplyDeletedamn i really need to get in shape for summer!
ReplyDeleteI don't believe this picture is real, but i know that a transformation like this is definatly possible
ReplyDeleteI lol very hard when I see these ads.
ReplyDeletenice post:P
ReplyDeleteI always believe they're fakes, it's just so easy to go and photoshop them. They'd be stupid not to.
ReplyDeleteLook at him. ALPHA AS F!
ReplyDeleteThey are real but for sure they didn't archieve it by the stuff they advertise
ReplyDeleteLooks fake to me...
ReplyDelete+following
Fake and gay
ReplyDeleteThe pictures from the "Buy our drink and you'll be thin in a week" are faked of course. But there are some real ones. Esepcially in fitness boards.

ReplyDeleteI've been getting into working out your advice is great!
ReplyDeleteHaha this look too good to be true. Even his tattoo looks sexier!
ReplyDeleteVery improbable photos!
ReplyDeletei heard they do before and after photos in the same shoot lol
ReplyDeleteSome are probably real, but I've seen some that don't even look close.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't believe those before and after photos for a second.
ReplyDeleteI do not think I could believe those pics... unless the guy was that ripped to begin with, then on purpose got reallllly fat, and lost it all just to become famous and get his own tv show or work out video.
ReplyDeleteThis pictures are almost all fake in my opinion :\.
ReplyDeleteThis pictures are 99% of the time fake. I always just ignore them
ReplyDeleteNot all of them are fake but the one you posted up there is hilarious. Even a blind person would figure out that this one is fake....
ReplyDeleteLooks fake :\
ReplyDeleteWhatever that maybe, results are not happening in a few months. That possibly could be a 2 year photo
ReplyDeletelooks pretty extreme to me. probably fake
ReplyDeletethey dont even look like they are the same person!
ReplyDeleteThese and those hair loss commercials always have some of the fakes claims. its hilarious!
ReplyDeleteYeah, they're just trying to get you to buy a product, I don't think they're real either.
ReplyDeleteNone of them ever use the product they claim. Most are just body builders who get paid to get fat shortly after a competition.
