Common Questions and Answers about Your six pack quest program

six-pack

Avatar n tn For a six-pack to show, you must reduce body fat. The body fat percentage necessary to reveal a cut torso varies according to your genes and body type, but for most men, a percentage of 6 to 8 percent will reveal abs, while for women require a percentage of about 11 to 13 percent. To reduce body fat, reduce calories below what you burn daily, which can be determined by finding your basal metabolic rate. A 250- to 500- deficit daily will lead to a 1/2- to 1-pound weight loss in a week.
Avatar n tn 52, doc gave me valtrex and i took it for 2 weeks and was rechecked at quest lab and results was 4.82, i stopped the meds and was recently rechecked again and went back to labcorp on 4/19 and got a lower result of 1.39. my question is could this still be a false positive? if i am truley positive wouldnt my results stay high? i asked similar question to doc and she thinks its still possible to be negative and i did order pack for western blot and awaiting having that done.

Avatar n tn However, the length of time it takes to get-six pack abs depends upon your gender, how consistently you train and whether or not you have an excess amount of body fat. Strength train consistently and follow a hypertrophy, or muscle building, program. That's a high frequency of training sessions, with each session being of high volume. Rectus abdominus muscles like all muscles in your body require a rest from strength training, so allow 48 hours of recovery time between training sessions.
Avatar f tn I've been exercising for long time and i can feel my six pack (when i push my finger on my belly) but it's hidden under a layer of fat. Why? What should i do? Any tips?
Avatar f tn Many articles written about the flat abs fantasy. One geneticist stated its all in the genes for having a six pack. The goal should really be to decrease belly fat. I work out a lot, but my body just will never have the Hollywood abs mythos and I am fine with that. You are right. Its not normal.
Avatar f tn I'm afraid a needle was reused during a visit to a phlebotomist on March 10....He moved pretty fast and I didn't see him open a new pack. Anyhow, after five or six weeks I started to experience different symptoms such as weight loss(12kg), headaches(tension or cluster), body aches(still with me), eye pain, stye on eyes, rash on butt, inner tights , muscle lip twitching, pea-like swollen lymph nodes over body, etc..
Avatar f tn For me, hard work hard physical labor such as yard work, lifting, perhaps building a wall with stone ... this was the type of work that got me a six pack, but at the same time I was losing weight for a health problem (Celiac) so my body fat got low.
Avatar m tn 00 from Quest. Does that mean it went up a lot in six weeks. Doctor out town but nurse said nothing to worry about.
Avatar f tn When I was on antibiotics I kept the empty bubble pack and threw away the pills. It's hard to keep your mind in the game during treatment, especially if. Missing a few doses is not so bad but don't let it happen again (uh oh, there's my mother creeping in). I set alarms on my phone for the dose I had the most trouble remembering. When I was released from treatment, erasing those alarms was deeply satisfying.
Avatar f tn I would go ahead and pack. If for no other reason than your peace of mind. Also, check with your hospital, because mine had recommendations on how to pack and when to bring that bag in with you. For instance, when I first get there, I'll take in my Labor Bag. A small bag with shoes to wear at the hospital, a birthing ball to blow up and an extra pillow (things to help you through labor).
Avatar f tn I totally forgot to ask my Hepa Dr the other day. I am going to Quest Labs and I looked on their website and couldn't find anything. If anyone knows I have to do a Hep A AB, w/refl IGM, IL28B, and Vit D level. Have a great night!
Avatar m tn t dare even admit to my husband at this point that I have an issue, after more than ten years in the program he is horridly judgmental about people who fall off the wagon, about other peoples sobriety and he is a dreadful dry drunk at least at home. So I just don't trust him with this. Anyway any advise would be most appreciated. I can't wait to feel better. Today has just been a tear fest and feeling crappy to boot! However the dealer has stopped texting wooo hoo!
Avatar f tn Can anybody tell me what does it mean when you lye on your right side and your baby starts to move like crazy. But when I turn on my left he done calmed down. N not only that when I'm on my right it hurts especially when I try to get up I even catch heart burns on my right side.
Avatar f tn Your pee is the strongest in the morning. (: good luck!
Avatar n tn Is it just standerd testing that quest diagnostics does or did I show a postive and thats what the screen with the reflexe was. I was non reative.
Avatar f tn I'm a nice guy when people aren't trying to flummox other people. What are we here for but to help other people instead of spreading misinformation, which is something you do a lot -- I don't think you do it unintentionally, I just think you do it because you read a lot of things and like to report them as if they're fact and not theory based on limited research.
Avatar f tn I need to pack my daily lunch healthier than I have been any suggestions
Avatar m tn If you have sex with someone who maybe hiv positive for a period of six weeks and then go for a rapid hiv test would or could you test positive. Example, Have sex with possible infected person, wait six weeks test negative, then on seventh week have sex again with the same person and test on 8th week negative. I would like to think this is a reasonable question. Would or could this delay seroconversion. Very simple question.
Avatar f tn I was reading your posts rsem and realize that your quest labs also wouldn't spin it down and send out the sample. I think I am starting to get a bit confused, and sorry for asking a dumb question but Im getting confused by the phrase 'spin it down' cant quest just draw the blood into the provided Western Blot tubes that I will have and once I am done I can fed ex it out?
453728 tn?1354083167 You can then bring it to any quest lab were they will draw and process your blood. If the Dr. has a quest account, you can then drove blood in the office.

Avatar n tn Patience/relaxation are key components in your quest for peace of mind.

314892 tn?1264623903 You can fill out a form when you are having your blood drawn to recieve a copy of your results without having to wait for the doctor to give them to you. I did this for the first time today. The form at Quest Diagnostics is called "Request for Results Authorization Form" You need to fill out a form each time you have blood drawn. I hope this info is helpful to some of you.
669746 tn?1228599145 just to update on this, i bought a pack of Quest step 3 "non-nicotine" cigs. although they still do have nicotine in them 0.05(norm 1.86) and they do not cause attacks or pain.i wouldnt advise you to smoke,but it is a remedy to help you quit.
