John Pallot's Golfers Diet for Maximum Performance
Three years ago, I was 35 pounds overweight and my cholesterol and golf over par. I determined to lose weight, get my cholesterol under control and improve my score. I realized to do it without pills, I needed to eat right and exercise more. Thinner, leaner bodies are more flexible, have more stamina, and perform better under pressure. Realizing many suffer with weight and cholesterol problems, and since there have been so many positive comments on my leaner look, I've decided to share the secrets of my success. Each month, I'll list my recommendations for a healthy diet that will improve your game and overall health.
