tried interval stretching for 17 weeks. here is what happened.

Discussion Clean Column ×9

Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles.

The claim: interval stretching matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both sides have been asserting it confidently for about 20 months without either producing anything.

What would actually settle it is 21 people measuring the same thing the same way. I have started; my numbers are below. They lean one way but not strongly enough for me to declare victory.

If you have data, post the data. If you have an opinion, flair it as an opinion.

coming off deliberately, not by accident

the regain is treatment of chronic condition ending, not failure

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.

The early fullness was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.

regain on taper is expected, plan for it

Slight fix: the number was 98.7, not 98.9. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

About c/tapering

Stopping on purpose: dose reduction versus interval stretching, what the discontinuation arms of STEP 1 and SURMOUNT-4 actually showed about regain, appetite return timelines, and the people who came off, regained, and went back on without treating it as a failure.
