In this WAG Original Series, watch how WAG Alumni Member Justin Holt, a busy father, movie maker and artist, explains how he went from McDonald’s and Wendy’s to weighing and measuring his meals.
There was a moment I realized that I couldn't get to my body composition goals alone. I spent years doing the "unrestricted paleo" diet and started CrossFit in 2006.
