I've been looking at buying my first tanks and everyone seems to say buy steel tanks since you can take lead off your belt. I'm sure we would all like to wear less lead. That being said, how would losing 10 lbs of fat (about what I would like to lose) change your buoyancy? Since fat is less dense than water, each extra pound you carry around means you need to carry a little more lead. Do you think losing 10 lbs of fat mean you could take 2 lbs off your belt? I tried searching and couldn't come up with anything. Anyone know the relative weight of fat in comparison to water?
