Three years here, and I remember a 2022 thread where waist moved way before fasting insulin did. One thing I didn’t see mentioned: my fastin…
38 lbs is 18% of your starting weight — the tape is just late to the party.
For me the culprit was sleep, and I only caught it because of a dumb two-month stretch where I was getting 5.5 hours a night thanks to a wor…
Same. Deadlift PR while scale said lean mass tanked. Made me ignore InBody.
Grip strength is such a better marker than scale lean mass. My gym numbers actually went up.
Do the COAs include third-party lab name and batch number, or just a generic PDF? Trying to compare before I bite.
Watching this. Need reliable lab supplies, but not in a rush.
Do they post third-party COAs with batch numbers? I see a PDF from last year, nothing recent. Link?
International shipping experiences? Specifically customs delays and whether they reship or just say 'not our problem.' Asking for a friend w…
Every vendor says 'third-party tested.' Post the lab name, date, and batch match or it’s just marketing. Not accusing, just tired of blurry …
DEXA is the only way I'd trust that. My smart scale said I lost 6 lbs lean and I panicked alot.
Shipping label created, world waits. The tracking number is just a motivational quote at this point.
Lp(a) was 48 for me. Made me watch ApoB harder.
That RHR creep with better labs could be training load. Are you doing hard lifts close to bedtime? My HRV stayed flat until I moved sessions…
Anyone know if they ship to Northern Ireland without the usual 'please allow 3-5 business years' nonsense? Also, do they send tracking autom…
What were trigs and HDL? Discordance often tracks energy deficit more than fasting window.
COA I downloaded was dated, had lot, but lab name was redacted. Why redact that? Test method said HPLC only. Odd.
Luer lock kind of stops making sense once volumes get small. Those 0.3mL insulin syringes leave less behind, and an old test strip case with…
Fast push vs slow push—never really considered that a variable worth comparing.
Low-dead-space made a bigger difference for me than luer lock. The luer hub held a tiny ring unless I primed it, which defeats the point.
Same thing here. Down 31 lbs, LDL 104 to 149. My trigs dropped too. My doctor said losing fat releases stored cholesterol, but I never found…
