stalled for 19 weeks at 0.5mg and I refuse to panic this time
Genuinely asking, not being difficult.
Everyone in c/cagrilintide repeats that sarcopenia is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 13 threads of people agreeing with each other.
Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?
I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

protein targets in g/kg
Denmark here. Waited 6 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.
This is correct. DEXA is the standard.
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
lean mass retention is the 43 week conversation
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
Yeah, protein matters on rapid loss.

Adding to this: DEXA is doing more work than the comment implies.
no supplement selling, no coaching solicitation
Yeah, protein matters on rapid loss.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
FFMI tracking requires body composition
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
no supplement selling, no coaching solicitation
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 11–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.

Small correction: the trial was 9 weeks, not 33. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

rapid loss plus no protein equals muscle loss
