week 67 check-in — 10kg down, muscle cramps manageable, one thing confusing me
week 67 check-in — 10kg down, muscle cramps manageable, one thing confusing me. Numbers below. Ask me the boring questions, they are the useful ones. Since the title puts numbers in the shop window: week 67 and 10kg. Different laboratories use different assay platforms with different calibration. Comparing across…
Substantial weight loss independently moves lipids, liver enzymes and several other markers. Attributing a change to a compound while losing weight is confounded by design.
Not convinced by the attribution. Weight loss alone moves that marker and you have no way to separate the two.

Right, and weight loss itself moves several markers, so attribution is harder than these threads assume.
one measurement is a point, two is a line, three is a trend
Cosigning on baseline. The panel I regret most is the one I did not take before starting.
Correction: that marker is reported in different units by different labs, which explains the tenfold difference you are seeing.
That is a non-fasting value and the interval you are comparing it against is a fasting one.
lab reference ranges are not treatment targets
