9 months in and ApoB is still the thing I get wrong

Explainer Long Haul ×4 Clean Column ×2 Well Actually ×2

Week 7 update. 13kg down from the start, muscle cramps basically gone since about week 59.

Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I want to. Things that did not: everything I bought on the internet to help with muscle cramps.

The part that surprised me is how much of this is admin. Ordering, storing, logging, remembering. Nobody mentions that the hard bit is not the drug, it is the routine.

Happy to answer anything. Please do not ask me what dose you should be on.

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

baseline is the most important eGFR measurement, you cannot collect it later

Strongly agree. ALT is where you catch the liver story early.

eGFR noise on rapid loss is real. 11 week noise, 23 week trend. Do not panic at week 71.

ALT is where the fatty-liver story shows up first

Do you have baseline to compare to?

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

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

About c/bloodwork

What to measure before you start, what to re-measure, and how to interpret movement without panicking. ApoB over LDL-C, HOMA-IR as a crude free tool, ALT and the fatty-liver story, eGFR noise during rapid loss, and the deficiencies that a 1,100-calorie appetite will hand you.
