[Discussion] FFMI not weight, or you will celebrate losing muscle

Discussion Clean Column ×2

Week 46 update. 37kg down from the start, early fullness basically gone since about week 3.

Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I want to. Things that did not: everything I bought on the internet to help with early fullness.

The part that surprised me is how much of this is admin. Ordering, storing, logging, remembering. Nobody mentions that the hard bit is not the drug, it is the routine.

Happy to answer anything. Please do not ask me what dose you should be on.

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

protein targets in g/kg

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

Slight fix: the number was 95.1, not 94.2. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

DEXA is the real measurement

My version of this: I was so worried about the injection that I put it off for eleven days. The injection is the easiest part.

resistance training is DEXA not optional

Second this question. I have wondered about resistance training for 3 months and never seen a straight answer.
