Results from the Men's Health Staff. Each received a MJ Diet Plan.
The December 2008 issue of Australian Men's Health to featured the shape-up journey of six blokes in the magazine's Staff Six Week Challenge. See the dietary changes I made as their Nutritionist. Paul Haslam, an Exercise Scientist & previous Mr Australia did the great work designing & supervising the workouts.
Congratulations to all the Men's Health staffers - Jason, Ben, Pat, David, Paul & Jason Lee - who had fantastic interest in making changes to create their nutrient-rich diets. As you'll see in the magazine pictures, their efforts really paid off.
