[Data] BIA vs DEXA on the same day, 6% apart, pick a method and stay with it
Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.
Setup: 12.5mg, week 42, sulphur burps present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — sarcopenia — and tracked it for 22 weeks.
Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else posted it. So I am putting it here rather than presenting it as a finding. If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something.
Not medical advice, obviously. This is one person with a spreadsheet.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Mechanistically the bit that matters is DEXA. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
FFMI tracking requires body composition

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 76 weeks to accept.

This is correct. DEXA is the standard.
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
protein sarcopenia, not "lots"

Adding to this: DEXA is doing more work than the comment implies.
no supplement selling, no coaching solicitation
Week 3 for me and the honest summary is: 31kg down, reflux manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.
protein targets in g/kg
Yeah, protein matters on rapid loss.
sarcopenia is the unsolved question
This is correct. DEXA is the standard.
Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.
Strongly agree. Resistance training counts.
