DEXA or DXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorpiometry) is used primarily to measure bone density in patients at risk for osteoporosis. However, the software also calculates muscle and fat percentages. For body fat % it is considered much more accurate that caliper or underwater weighing methods. The cost varies, but averages around…

I am partial to German cars. The Jetta TDI previously mentioned is a great choice as long as diesel is easy to find where you live. Personally, I like Audis. I own three A4 Quatros. Purchased all directly from Audi as pre-owned. Great value and warranty.

Nebraska Cornhuskers. GO BIG RED!

After I got married I found that I rarely drank anymore. I concluded that I drank because where there were women there was alcohol. About four years ago I quit drinking alcolhol completely, except for a small glass of champagne at my son's wedding this summer. I still go out with people to bars and have a great time. Plus…

Men's Health. I guess in your case, maybe Women's Health. I read it primarily for the workout ideas and recipes.

Items purchased for workouts: training shoes, workout clothes, annual gym membership, Men's Health subscription, weighted ball Items purchased due to workout results: tailoring of all my suits and dress pants, smaller jeans, fitted dress shirts, smaller belt

Chocolate milk after my workout (4 days/week). Depending on how hungry I am I may also have some Greek yogurt or eggs.

I lost my first 20 lbs pretty easily and quickly with cardio and modifying my eating habits. Following a plateau of about a month I started an adult boot camp that is heavy strength training combined with interval training (combination of sprints and walking). The workouts are 4 days per week. On the off days I will do…

I know what you mean about too much information on the internet regarding nutrition. I was in your shoes about 9 months and 25 lbs ago. I workout 4 days a week with a former college strength coach. Lots of heavy resistance lifting and sprints. I do eat 5 times a day. My suggestions is find some low fat/high protein "go to"…

My recovery beverage of choice on lifting days is 1% chocolate milk. The research shows it is superior to other post-workout drinks.

I selected a favorite song as a solo artist and as a member of each group. Technically, the Jacksons and Jackson 5 were two different groups due of the Columbia Records/Sony lawsuit. Yes it's a loophole, but it allows me to make one more selection. MJ: Rock with You Jacksons: Can You Feel It? J5: Dancing Machine

Glad to hear that you experienced Husker Hospitality. We had a number of MSU fans at our tailgate. I grew up in Nebraska and have lived here most of my life and what you experienced in pretty common. I hope Spartie wins out in the Big Ten from here.

You may want to consider V8 Fusion juice. One can contains 1 full serving each of vegetables and fruit. It actually tastes good. My boys like the blueberry/pomegranate flavor (100 cal., 25gm carbs, 0 fat, 0 protein). On the other hand one serving of Veggie Straws contain 130 cal (60 cal from fat), 15gm carbs, 7gm fat, 1gm…

Here is a link to an easy and delicious tuna steak recipe. I use Kraft Mayo with Olive Oil for the base of the dipping sauce to reduce calories and fat. Also, I substitute fresh ingredients instead of the pastes that he uses. Combine this with sliced zuchini and yellow squash in the same marinade and grill along with the…

By "liver enzymes" I assume you are referring to the transaminases (ALT and AST). ALT is specific to the liver, but AST is found elsewhere in the body. Most notably, AST is found in muscle. Working out can cause slight increases in AST from the additional work the muscle is doing. Prescription and non-prescription drugs…
