[Results] 52 weeks, 35kg, and bloodwork was the hard part

Results Receipts ×4

Right, the ApoB question again, but with numbers this time.

I have 13 data points over 36 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance, and boring enough that nobody is going to screenshot it, which is usually a good sign.

The thing I would flag for anyone new: the effect I am describing showed up at week 33, not week 82. People give up long before the interesting part.

Interested in whether this matches other people's logs or whether I am an outlier.

The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

baseline is the most important eGFR measurement, you cannot collect it later

Adding to this: ALT is doing more work than the comment implies.

A1c moves slowly, quarterly is plenty

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

Strongly agree. ALT is where you catch the liver story early.

eGFR noise during rapid loss is expected

HOMA-IR is crude but free and useful for tracking

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

This is correct. ApoB is the better marker.

About c/bloodwork

What to measure before you start, what to re-measure, and how to interpret movement without panicking. ApoB over LDL-C, HOMA-IR as a crude free tool, ALT and the fatty-liver story, eGFR noise during rapid loss, and the deficiencies that a 1,100-calorie appetite will hand you.
