what is: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1

Question Receipts ×6

Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.

I have been tracking beginner against triglycerides for 27 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.

This is a good question, genuinely.

Titration means going slow. The 7.5mg is the starter, not the dose you stay on, not the dose you need to feel it.

Week 23 checking in: nothing on the scale, no nausea, wondering if the pen is broken. No, it is just week 23.

Small correction: the trial was 3 weeks, not 3. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

Not to be pedantic but week one and basics are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

Adding to this: normal is doing more work than the comment implies.

no question too basic, read the wiki first, then ask anyway

About c/newbiequestions

The deliberately gentle community. Every question that gets an eye-roll elsewhere lives here: what does titration mean, why do I feel nothing in week two, is this normal, what is bac water, what is a COA. Rudeness is removed faster than bad questions.
