Julius Caesar had this thing about having men about him who were fat.Fabio Capello,though also an italian general of sorts, has an entirely different perspective on this issue.He prefers the lean and hungry type.So Beckham has gone and reduced his body fat from 13.7 to 8.5 per cent and is evidently hoping that Capello will have noticed.
Prof Paul Gately [ an expert in matters corpulent] said the following about Beckham’s fat loss efforts: “For someone in his midfield position, and what he does on the field, 8.5 per cent body fat is just right. He will have lost it so that he does not overheat in the warmer climate. Extra body fat is dead weight, which makes the fluid levels diminish quickly, and in turn makes the body expend energy more quickly.”
