Body Fat - The Grand Experiment
I got a chance to participate in a study using MRI for body fat analysis, so I jumped at it. The technique focuses on visceral fat, which has been deemed the most harmful...
I figured as long as I was doing that, I'd also go for a DEXA (same radiologist) and a Bodpod, within a few days of each other to see how they correlated - I'll use my Tanita scale as well...
I'll post the results so everyone can get a sense of these methods.
