switched from 5mg to 12.5mg and the the food-noise thing got better, not worse

Non-Scale Win

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

I have been tracking progress against ApoB for 3 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.

Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.

Yeah, text-only removes the comparison.

Yeah, text-only removes the comparison.

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

About c/progresspics

Progress posts with no images, by design. Starting point, current point, timeframe, dose history, what changed besides the scale. Text-only removes the comparison trap, the body-shaming pile-on and the entire question of who owns a photo of your torso.
