small win: protein stopped being a problem at week 86

Data Receipts ×8 Cold Box ×3

Been lurking in c/cryptopay for about 4 months and finally have something worth posting.

Short version: week 51, 7.5mg, and protein is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 9 threads, and the answers split roughly down the middle.

What I actually want to know is whether the people saying it does not matter have measured it, or whether it is just repeated confidently. Happy to be told I am overthinking this — I probably am — but I would rather overthink it now than at week 57.

rapid loss plus no protein equals muscle loss

Maintenance for 3 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.

DEXA twice yearly is the pattern

bathroom BIA scales are not a method

Disagree on that part. 97.4% and 95.1% on the same vial is normal.

The practical rule people converge on is 28 days at fridge temperature after first puncture, and that comes from the preservative, not the peptide.

Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.

FFMI tracking requires body composition

Strongly agree. Resistance training counts.

resistance training is sarcopenia not optional

body-composition claims need a method

DEXA is the real measurement

u/pavel_kravchenko41 points·8 months ago

Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
