Oscar works with McPhee three to five times a week in New York, averaging 1 hour per day. According to Oscar, it’s 50 percent exercise and 50 percent diet. And usually, in two to three months, if a person follows their advice, they will definitely see some results. If he/she doesn’t, then they’re doing it wrong.
