stalled for 13 weeks at 12.5mg and I refuse to panic this time

Results Well Actually ×6 Slow Clap ×2 Long Haul ×2

Quick one. Canada here.

resistance training works very differently where I live than in the threads that dominate the front page, and I keep seeing people confidently given advice that simply does not apply outside the US.

Specifics: the route I used took 13 weeks and cost roughly what I expected. The admin was worse than the cost. The thing that would have saved me the most time was knowing which document to ask for at the start.

Happy to answer questions from anyone in the same jurisdiction.

Yeah, protein matters on rapid loss.

What are you comparing it against though?

DEXA twice yearly is the pattern

DEXA twice yearly is the pattern

Disagree on that part. 93.7% and 99.3% on the same vial is normal.

Strongly agree. Resistance training counts.

u/nikhil_asante149 points·1 year ago

Strongly agree.

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

Which country? Half the answers in this thread only apply in Canada.

Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.

Week 82 for me and the honest summary is: 23kg down, nausea manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.

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