maintenance — my 6-week log, condensed into one table
Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.
I have been tracking maintenance against triglycerides for 5 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker than I expected, which is itself mildly interesting given how confidently people link the two in here.
Caveats up front: one person, one lab, one assay, no control, and I changed my training in the middle of it, which was stupid.
tl;dr: probably real, definitely smaller than the threads imply, and not worth reorganising your week around.
best — the order this archive was captured in
This is correct. Weight variance is normal at maintenance.
Weight variance within what range?
[removed by moderator]
food noise returns but not always immediately
nobody posts about this part and it is the longest part
the 1.0mg dose works fine for 66 weeks of the month
the 1.0mg dose works fine for 23 weeks of the month
regain is not a moral failing
the long term question changes at maintenance
weight moves within 15kg and that is normal
Regain on a taper is expected. 21% back over 6 weeks, which matches the discontinuation data. Planned for it.

Strongly agree. Lowest effective dose is a real discovery process.
the lowest dose you can stay on is not the lowest dose that works
Yeah, maintenance is the boring part and the important part.
This is correct. Weight variance is normal at maintenance.
the 0.5mg dose works fine for 91 weeks of the month
How long at maintenance?

weight moves within 20kg and that is normal
Strongly agree. Lowest effective dose is a real discovery process.
weight moves within 18kg and that is normal
the plateau is where the learning happens

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
the 1.0mg dose works fine for 40 weeks of the month
weight moves within 2kg and that is normal
the lowest dose you can stay on is not the lowest dose that works
