Diet Advice and Progress

[MickeyGoesToHell]

I have been doing intermittent fasting (renegade diet) for the past 3.5 weeks. I started at approx. 25%-28% bf
Here are the before pics

Here are the pics after 3.5 weeks. I am npw at under 25% bf and wanted to know if the calipers is right? I have some veins in my arms and some in shoulders and chest when pumped. Also I can see my triceps clearly than beforeCan you visually estimate my bf %… Also is intermittent fasting good for muscle reterntion or should I go low carb?

Progress pics work best if you do the same pose in each pic. It’s easier to compare. Also, don’t “try” to pose. Stand relaxed with your arms at your sides for a more honest look (basically like the last pic you posted).

Calipers and bodyfat percentages don’t matter. They’re random numbers. What matters is your actual appearance, how clothes fit, measurements, and how you do in the gym.

What’s your height and current weight? What did you weight 3.5 weeks ago before you started the plan?

I have some veins in my arms and some in shoulders and chest when pumped.

Most people can see veins when their muscles are pumped, so that doesn’t really count.

Can you visually estimate my bf %…

Again, it doesn’t really matter. But you’re easily still more than 20%.

[quote]Also is intermittent fasting good for muscle reterntion or should I go low carb?

People see fat loss results with both methods.

I’m not 100% familiar with the Renegade Diet, but if it’s the one by Jason Ferruggia, he knows his stuff, so you should be on track if you actually follow whatever the plan is.

Thanks dude.
Yeah my clothes are loose now and some that didn’t fit me now fit greatly. My height is 6’0" and I weighed 202 lbs initially and now I weigh 191.2lbs. Also these pictures weren’t in pumped but relaxed state.
