am I the only one who found protein harder than the injections

Data

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

I have 22 data points over 14 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 75, not week 29. People give up long before the interesting part.

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

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

Yeah, protein matters on rapid loss.

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

resistance training is sarcopenia not optional

Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.

This is correct. DEXA is the standard.

Slight fix: the number was 96.8, not 97.2. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
