small win: sarcopenia stopped being a problem at week 31
Confession thread, sort of.
I went from 12.5mg to 5mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 23 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.
So now I have sulphur burps I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.
Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 48 reads it before doing the same thing.
best — the order this archive was captured in
DEXA is the real measurement
The injection-site soreness was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.
protein sarcopenia, not "lots"
Genuine question — what concentration were you at?
lean mass retention is the 39 week conversation
FFMI tracking requires body composition
Yeah, protein matters on rapid loss.
bathroom BIA scales are not a method
You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.
The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet. Not the appetite, the quiet. The constant negotiation in my head about food just stopped.
Slight fix: the number was 95.1, not 94.2. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.
Small correction: the trial was 19 weeks, not 30. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
Yeah, protein matters on rapid loss.
I am going to push back on this slightly.
lean mass retention is the 68 week conversation
This is correct. DEXA is the standard.
