week 26 check-in — 31kg down, muscle cramps manageable, one thing confusing me
Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.
The advice on ApoB in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.
I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.
best — the order this archive was captured in
ALT is where the fatty-liver story shows up first
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
Not convinced.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
nobody here can tell you what a result means for you
Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.

HOMA-IR is crude but free and useful for tracking
Baseline TSH: 99.3. Week 16: 98.6. Same lab, fasted, same time of day. Trend matters.

eGFR noise during rapid loss is expected
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
eGFR from 2 to 3 is movement, not noise
post reference ranges with your numbers, units differ by country and lab
