Near the onset of diet and training

This post has been superseded by this one.

This is what I have to work with:

• Height: 181 cm.
• Weight: 87.3 kg. I started the Paleo diet at 93~94 kg 4 weeks before this post. My ideal weight should be 78~80 kg.

I don't expect significant muscle gains. However, H.I.T. emphasizes this and claims that shape will be more telling than weight. Therefore, I will use the following to track progress:

• Chest: 102 cm.
• Arm: 34 cm.
• Waist: 98 cm.
• Hips: 101 cm.
• Thigh: 64 cm.

The arm and thigh have been measured at their widest point. I have relatively large legs due to cycling 20 years ago. Beyond this, I am not muscular in any way.
