what would you tell week-1 you about DEXA

Question

Right, the protein question again, but with numbers this time.

I have 2 data points over 40 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance, and boring enough that nobody is going to screenshot it, which is usually a good sign.

The thing I would flag for anyone new: the effect I am describing showed up at week 6, not week 55. People give up long before the interesting part.

Interested in whether this matches other people's logs or whether I am an outlier.

This is correct. DEXA is the standard.

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

I am going to push back on this slightly.

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.

Yeah, protein matters on rapid loss.

Stalled for 16 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 22.

sarcopenia is the unsolved question

DEXA is the real measurement
