Ooooh! What a gorgeous dog! (Also - you look fantastic, congratulations!)

https://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/body-transformation-jeremiah-peterson-wins-hyper-shred.html Sorry to burst your bubble people, but he did this over and over while participating to win money. See the link I posted where he won similar competition 5 years ago. The reason I am posting this is so people do not get fooled by such stunts and think that by exercising 3 times a day and going on a keto diet you can look like this. It is a LIE. What you can take from it is that he still had the will power to do what he did and may be that is what you can replicate in your life. But please do not expect to have similar results in 6 months. This is mostly a steroid induced transformation. Look at your self, your friends, family, collegues.... did any of them gained such a physique in merely 6 months by being natural? No. If you could achieve a frame like that in 6 months, there would be absolutely no excuse at all for people not to excercise.

Isn't it amazing how the belly skin bounces back? Seriously amazed, not sarcastic. There was a lot of belly fat, and no sagging, no stomach-jowls... is that possible?

6 months? Yeah, he forgot to mention his use of roids.

Very cool and inspirational!

Amazing! You done good, your kids will appreciate your abundance of energy now! Run them ragged! lol

6 month idont belive it the skin need more time then that

I hope he acknowledges the huge part his wife played in this--because any guy working out three hours a day isn't spending those hours bathing and feeding and dressing and transporting his kids. And isn't spending them shopping for and bringing home and putting away all those keto ingredients. And isn't spending them cooking those keto meals. So, someone else has to. He has worked hard--and is also very fortunate.

Dear all, This guy does the transformations for a living. Please see below the link I have shared from bodybuilding.com in 2012. https://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/body-transformation-jeremiah-peterson-wins-hyper-shred.html. People like him do this transformations for a living. He won similar competition 5 years ago. The reason I am posting this is so people do not get fooled by such stunts and think that by exercising 3 times a day and going on a keto diet you can look like this. It is FAKE and not possible without high dosages of unethical and illegal drugs. He is mostly likely on steroids (too perky nipple, huge forearms, so quick in losing fat etc). However, what you can take from it is that he still had the will power to do what he did and may be that is what you can replicate in your life. But please do not expect to have similar results in 6 months. It takes years to look like this naturally. Don’t get fooled, but do get motivated to become the best version of yourself

https://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/body-transformation-jeremiah-peterson-wins-hyper-shred.html He's a repeat 'body transformation' contest entrant. I'm really disappointed but I shouldn't have been surprised. Years ago I worked at a muscle magazine and one senior editor told me that every time his magazine does their annual 'body transformation' challenge, there's always one or more entrants who are actually lifelong bodybuilders/gymrats who deliberately take a year off to get out of shape, then enter the contest, have a 'miraculous' transformation and cash in. It's hard to catch them and disqualify them in time though. Please don't take this as discouragement, your primary care physician will tell you exactly what kind of diet and exercise you need to shed those pounds.

Regardless of what I am about to say, hard work does play a part. With that out of the way, when I see that kind of transformation at that age, the first thing I think is this guy isn't 100% full natty brah. I know, I know "lol dude, you're just jealous". To which I say "do you even science bro?" Look at the research. If he did what he did at nearly 40 without the help of a little extra, extra, then he's the outlier to end all outliers.

Question- what happened to extra skin?

His was on a modified Keto diet - he has carbs on that plate. It's not healthy to go total protein with no carbs. You need at least 60% of your diet to consist of vegetables, fruits and whole grains. It's really bad for your liver and immune system to not eat carbs. It will also make much of your hair fall out. I went on a modified keto diet for a few months and lost 40 pounds. I did a 60/40 split on the carbs to protein ratio.

In order to lose so much weight, you have to go on a diet. Period. And not some special diet, just eat normally and healthy and rest well. That is 70% of getting from being fat to being normal and fit and the rest 30% is 30 min of gym exercise 3 times a week. After that, in order to achieve the body this guy has you have to spend a LOT of time in gym DAILY and following a very strict diet with no fat at all. For me it's not worth it. I prefer being simply lean, fit and enjoying roman feasts from time to time and ice cream every summer day, than spending 3 hours in the gym everyday.

Well done. Is the self tan really necessary though?

That much belly fat and losing it that quickly in 6 months would have left him with extra skin around that region. as well as extra skin on the arms and back. I dont buy the 6month diet/exercise did all the work

he had all that muscle mass from before already. all he had to do was lose some weight.

Why do people always feel the need to doubt what others say about themselves? Not everyone who loses weight require excess skin removal, and not everyone has to use steroids to achieve the physique this guy has! I get the impression that those who are being hyper critical are probably jealous of what he has attained. While I agree that three hours every day of exercise is not ideal for all of us, and may seem detrimental to the goal of spending more time with his kids, it was for a short time scale and enabled him to achieve the greater goal. It was hard work but well worth it in the end seem detrimental to

subtle fat-shaming, and no, he didn't do that in 6 months

He looks years younger!! Congrats!

This is unreal! Nice work... nice muscles ;-)

Well done-- and for the best of reasons !

Wow, crazy. :O Really pretty place too, and cute kids. <3 Wish I had a life like that...

Holy s**t!

Not to mention the absolutely fantastic changes you have made for yourself! You should be so proud for you and your kids. I am 60 and weigh way too much!

now he may live long enough to see his kids grow

It looks like my story, but read it from bottom to top

before he was fat and spent time with his kids, now he is lean and he replaced them with a dog??
