protein is the most under-discussed thing in c/cagrilintide

Results Clean Column ×3 Slow Clap ×2

Genuinely asking, not being difficult.

Everyone in c/progresspics repeats that sarcopenia is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 8 threads of people agreeing with each other.

Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?

I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

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

DEXA is the real measurement

Maintenance for 12 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.

Has anyone actually got this in writing, or is it forum lore at this point?

Maintenance for 17 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.

Strongly agree. Resistance training counts.

body-composition claims need a method

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

Crossposting this to c/reconstitution because the people who need it are not reading this community.

u/first_pen_fear7 points·6 months ago

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with resistance training, not with what you concluded.

Yeah, protein matters on rapid loss.

u/protein_first_pnutrition8 points·6 months ago

Slight fix: the number was 99.1, not 99.0. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

Yeah, protein matters on rapid loss.

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

Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.
