[PSA] protein is not what most of this community thinks it is

Discussion

Week 77 update. 13kg down from the start, muscle cramps basically gone since about week 22.

Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I want to. Things that did not: everything I bought on the internet to help with muscle cramps.

The part that surprised me is how much of this is admin. Ordering, storing, logging, remembering. Nobody mentions that the hard bit is not the drug, it is the routine.

Happy to answer anything. Please do not ask me what dose you should be on.

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

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

Strongly agree. Resistance training counts.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
