[Results] 46 weeks on 0.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring

Results Receipts ×2

Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.

Setup: 5mg, week 31, constipation present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — DEXA — and tracked it for 24 weeks.

Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else posted it. So I am putting it here rather than presenting it as a finding. If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something.

Not medical advice, obviously. This is one person with a spreadsheet.

rapid loss plus no protein equals muscle loss

Came off after 56 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

Yeah, protein matters on rapid loss.

This is correct. DEXA is the standard.

FFMI tracking requires body composition
