[Question] how do you actually verify protein
Right, the protein question again, but with numbers this time.
I have 17 data points over 20 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 74, not week 28. People give up long before the interesting part.
Interested in whether this matches other people's logs or whether I am an outlier.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 17–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
body-composition claims need a method
This is correct. DEXA is the standard.
no supplement selling, no coaching solicitation

the UK here. Waited 14 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.
This is correct. DEXA is the standard.
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
lean mass retention is the 41 week conversation
no supplement selling, no coaching solicitation
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
protein sarcopenia, not "lots"
protein sarcopenia, not "lots"
Disagree on that part. 98.0% and 98.1% on the same vial is normal.
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
