Paul's diet has been tapered by reducing the intake of white starchy carbs*. it now includes a range of key nutrients that are essential to maximise both recovery speed and muscle improvement. Also, in order to maximise the use of fat as energy.
Paul has taken control of portions sizes at specific times of day. Portions now more closely match Paul's physical exertion. He has increased the variety of vegetables and protein sources.
Body shape progress
Paul has seen reductions in circumferential measurements around his waist and chest. These are the main areas for fat storage in males. Paul has seen a loss of 9lb of body fat.
Paul started his programme with a clear risk from both hypertension a higher-than-normal resting heart rate. (This can be treated by a doctor with drugs which, for most people, become a permanent part of life. When you learn the (side) effects of these drugs, then the best option is never to start on them in the first place).
Paul has seen drastic reductions in both blood pressure and resting heart rate. Quite literally life changing results considering the medical alternative. This is down, we assume, to a reduction in his daily caffeine plus the regular physical training programme.
Paul's experiences thus far have shown that his health and wellness is very much in his own hands. It is clear that the way we live our lives, the choices we make, can make a difference.
