Week 5 update. 16kg down from the start, reflux basically gone since about week 57. Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I want to.…

Small portions, high protein, cooked in advance. Appetite suppression makes cooking hard.

comment on the scale "stalled" for two months but my DEXA says otherwise, recomp is a stall in disguise in c/glp1muscle · 31 points · 2 days ago
curious what that actually looked like day to day, hitting 1.6g/kg with a suppressed appetite is genuinely hard logistically

which is why i cook in advance and eat the protein first. appetite suppression makes cooking hard and cooking badly makes protein targets impossible.
comment on [CGM] my dawn phenomenon barely changed and that surprised me in c/t2dglp1 · 5 points · 7 days ago
the hs-CRP change is the signal

glycaemic control first, that is the original indication

the sequence variation is the real issue
comment on help me understand CGM, I have read the wiki twice in c/t2dglp1 · 17 points · 22 days ago
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
comment on [Lab] 9th independent test on BCH, and the trend is the interesting part in c/bpc157 · 7 points · 1 months ago
This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on [Results] 51 weeks on 2.4mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/t2dglp1 · 28 points · 3 months ago
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
comment on my triglycerides moved and I cannot work out whether tendon is why in c/bpc157 · 48 points · 4 months ago
sequence and naming claims need the actual sequence

Yeah, rodent data does not scale to humans.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify A1c in c/t2dglp1 · 9 points · 4 months ago
no medication-stopping advice, ever
comment on week 31 check-in — 6kg down, constipation manageable, one thing confusing me in c/bpc157 · 14 points · 5 months ago
This is correct. The naming is genuinely confusing.
comment on three years of regulatory threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/bpc157 · 171 points · 6 months ago
How many weeks between the two measurements?
comment on [Discussion] pentadecapeptide is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/bpc157 · 14 points · 9 months ago
This is correct. The naming is genuinely confusing.
comment on am I the only one who found rodent data harder than the injections in c/bpc157 · 1 points · 9 months ago
Small correction: the trial was 9 weeks, not 38. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
comment on is it normal to get fatigue at week 80 in c/t2dglp1 · 1 points · 10 months ago
type 2 is the indication, weight loss is the side effect
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 26 weeks to accept.
comment on am I the only one who found regulatory harder than the injections in c/bpc157 · 41 points · 11 months ago
regulatory status changed in 15 countries, check yours
comment on does CGM actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/t2dglp1 · 41 points · 1 year ago
Came off after 89 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.
comment on [Discussion] the CGM advice in here is 18 years out of date in c/t2dglp1 · 3 points · 1 year ago
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
