    Might be of interest to some http://www.fit2fat2fit.com/

    from his website...
    PURPOSE
    This is my story of how I plan on going from being obsessed with being fit, to fat in 6 months and how I plan on showing everyone how to get back to fit again in 6 more months. My diet will be unrestricted and I will refrain from any exercise during my fat stage. I plan on putting on around 50-60 pounds. After those 6 months, I will be teaching people how to get back in shape by allowing everyone to follow my specific meal plans and workout plans on this site. I will be documenting my progress every step of the way and blogging about it, from weekly pics, measurements, and even allowing people to decide what fatty foods I should partake of during my fat stage.

    BACKGROUND
    I’ve always had a passion for fitness. My love of fitness began at an early age and through sports it became an addiction. Throughout college I gained more experience through not only sports, but college courses as well. This inspired me to become a certified personal trainer through NASM. I began training clients on both proper nutrition and workout plans as a side job that I still continue to do. I’ve had great success in working with people on their meal plans and workout plans that have helped them achieve their fitness goals.

    GOAL
    My goal is to inspire people to get fit, teach them how to do it and give them hope that it IS possible to get fit and stay fit. I want to share my comprehensive fitness knowledge with my followers so that they can know how to lose weight successfully, even though for many it’s going to be a struggle. People that are overweight have to overcome both physical and emotional barriers when it comes to losing weight. I hope to have a better understanding of this through my experience over the next year.

    Also, I hope to better gain an understanding of how hard it really is to be overweight. I know it’s only going to be for 6 months, but at least it’ll give me a small window of the physical and emotional issues that come with being overweight

    Sorry I would normally just skip on stuff like this, but I just love this one from his doctor
    "When I was first informed of Drew’s plan I had a mix of emotions. His altruistic goal of helping people via his example thrilled and excited me."

    It's been covered been in multiple threads already and provides nothing of use to anyone except unrealistic expectations. But hey, nice of you to drop in and judge.

    Specific meal plans sounds like a good thing. The guy is full of sh1t though. Wouldn't take him half the effort to change back to his fit self.

    Was discussed in detail.
    It's a stupid, easy to do, publicity stunt being undertaken to make money.

    My one question about the whole thing is that, if he plans on losing all that weight in 6 months, wont he have the problem of excess skin and need surgery to fix it?

    I've always wondered is there a certain size or weight one can go over that once you've hit that size or weight excess skin will be a problem when ya lose that weight. For me that would be the biggest problem if I was obese and wanted to lose weight cause apparently the operation is very messy and you will never get perfect results i.e - he will never have the 'perfect' body he once had?

    Yeah, you might get a few stretch marks out of it, but no skin hanging around like.
