re: Bloodwork: What panels to get

If you go through your pcp, is the cost comparable to what is listed through this service? Have you had issues with insurance covering most of the cost?...

[quote]there's a very high chance most of the people using it aren't getting enough protein[/quote] Probably true, but for obese and especially morbidly obese, the weight loss is probably still a net positive despite the protein and corresponding muscle deficiency. I could be wrong. I’m not an exper...

[quote]Where do I begin?[/quote] Use an app to track everything you eat. Focus your eating on getting .8 grams of protein per lb of body weight. Limit calories to approximately 1800 per day. Weigh yourself everyday. Get 8000-10000 steps in a day. After 3-4 weeks of this, add in 3 days pe...

From a strictly legal procedure perspective, it is an unusual legal strategy to include screen shots of gay sex in the body of a complaint. Clearly the complaint was intended more for media attention than its legal effect. What that means for the credibility of the allegations i am not even sure. I ...

I think AU is the best team in the region besides UConn. So we have to play them in the Sweet 16 if we make it there instead of the elite 8. So be it. No use in crying about it. Hopefully it adds another chip to the shoulder of the players and becomes a benefit for AU that they got “disrespected” by...
