Oscar works with McPhee three to five times a week in New York, averaging 1 hour in a day. According to Oscar, it’s 50 percent exercise and 50 percent diet. And, typically, an individual will definitely see some results in 2-3 months of following his advice. If he/ she doesn’t, then they are doing it the wrong way.
