[PSA] New Zealand is not what most of this community thinks it is

Question Receipts ×8

Been lurking in c/labresults for about 7 months and finally have something worth posting.

Short version: week 48, 2.5mg, and New Zealand is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 13 threads, and the answers split roughly down the middle.

What I actually want to know is whether the people saying it does not matter have measured it, or whether it is just repeated confidently. Happy to be told I am overthinking this — I probably am — but I would rather overthink it now than at week 42.

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

Week 6 for me and the honest summary is: 32kg down, nausea manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.

Small correction: the trial was 9 weeks, not 35. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

This is correct. PBS listings matter.

AU and NZ are different systems, say which

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

Strongly agree. AU and NZ differ.

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

PBS listings change the cost completely

u/chidi_abubakar26 points·1 months ago

The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet. Not the appetite, the quiet. The constant negotiation in my head about food just stopped.
