  • Have lost confidence in movement or physical ability

Chris monitored my progress via daily photos uploaded to his site and adjusted my nutrition throughout. I was shocked how quickly my physique began to change, my weight began to drop though no muscle mass was lost in fact I appeared to be gaining muscle mass whilst losing fat.
