Just my own experience, Not your exact numbers, but I had a 4-week flat stretch while my waist dropped ~2 cm and trigs/HDL moved in the righ…
Under six hours of sleep for a week freezes my scale dead, same food, same steps. Weird but repeatable.
I’d check weekend sodium/alcohol before calling it a plateau. My wife and I tracked 'perfect' weekdays for a month, then realized Friday tak…
Also weigh after the same kind of day; my Sunday post-pizza weight runs 3 lbs up till Wednesday, every time.
Clothing fit is the sneaky one: I went down a belt notch while the scale acted like it needed a snack break.
Check your sleep before you change anything else. I was averaging 5.5 hours and my wait sat at 38 for six straight weeks while the scale dro…
Three weeks is almost exactly the window where lifting can fake you out with water retention. When I added 3x/week lifting, my scale sat at …
Half an inch off the waist is the part I'd poke at before calling it a win — mine "moved" a full inch once and it turned out I'd been measur…
Honestly, I'd frame that LDL and glcose printout. Scale can sulk.
Don't add cardio yet—six weeks flat with gym performance dropping usually means recovery debt, not a need for a deeper deficit. I'd track sl…
Two more weeks before changing anything, realistically. 21 days is long enough to feel rough and way too short for body comp to show up on a…
Following. If someone gets a recent COA and tracking update, please post. Curious about turnaround and whether they use vacuum seals.
I'd check sodium and carb timing before blaming metabolism. A big pasta dinner adds 2-3 lb water for me.
My belt is the only progress tracker I still trust — four notches in about five months while the scale moved six pounds total, which sent me…
Check your cooking oils and bites—I found 180 hidden cals a day that way, scale moved in 10 days.
What's your 7-day average? Single-day weights are noise. I use Happy Scale and only judge the trend line.
I wouldn't call it water only. If 1,750 kcal is self-reported, logging drift can erase a 300 kcal deficit. Weigh food for a week.
Weekends were my hidden culprit. Friday takeout, Saturday brunch, Sunday chips and salsa, and Monday I'd be up 3.2 lbs, then back to my 'sta…
I emailed them last Tuesday for lot-specific COAs. They sent a PDF with lab name, method, and test date, but the lot code didn't match the c…
Five weeks of identical scale numbers but two inches off your waist and better glucose/A1c is not a plateau in fat loss — that’s a measureme…
Peer reviwe is the whole ballgame for me.
That HDL dip might be the almonds replacing other fats. What did your saturated fat intake look like?
Contrarian take: my second half was actually faster, but only after I stopped weighing daily and let the 4-week trend line do the talking.
I emailed them about the accredited third-party lab. They replied with lab name and ISO number, but said PDFs for some items are ‘coming soo…
Sleep was mine: 5hrs for 3 weeks, cortisol spike, scale up 2lb then dropped 5 after a vacation.
Following. Anyone know if they ship internationally or only domestic? That detail never seems clear on these vendor sites.
Late cardio wrecks me too. Moving it before noon fixed my sleep more than any supplement.
Cut alcohol first, then refined acrbs. Trigs went 170→88 in ten weeks. LDL stayed flat until I added more olive oil and nuts. I know some pe…
Yeah, I noticed the same. The COA links worked for a few items, but a couple were dead ends. Feels like a work in progress.
Do they take crypto? And what's the minimum order for a test pack? Trying to gauge entry cost.
No apoB yet, just standard panel. I'm asking because my LDL did the opposite—dropped with more fiber and less cheese.
Light skeptic here: the site looks clean, but clean sites are cheap. Any independent reviews outside this thread? Not trying to be negative,…
Prices seem mid-range from what I’ve seen. Has anyone compared their bulk rates to other vendors lately? Curious if the discount is real.
Any ferritin/iron panel? Low ferritin wrecks my sleep latency.
What shipping carrier do they use? Is tracking reliable, or does it ghost for a week then appear?
Trigs 210 to 95 is the real headline here.
Following closely. Saw some chatter on another forum that wasn't exactly glowing, so I'm in wait-and-see mode.
ApoB 92 unchanged makes sense if diet didn’t shift much. Did you change saturated fat or fiber?
Could be post-meal spikes you're not seeing if you scan less? I found I was 180 after rice even when fasting was fine.
The 90-day window is tighter than my clinic's 6 months. What state are you in? Scope rules vary a lot.
Their checkout page looks like it was coded in 2009. Not necessarily a red flag, but it's a yellow one.
Waist down 2 inches while scale flat for 5 weeks is the real win. My RHR dropped before the scale ever moved.
Then why does NCT07011667 say active, not recruiting at 609? Sounds like they hit their target.
I track fasting glucose. Mine bounced around 90 while weight was flat, then settled. Not medical advice, just what I logged.
I'm here for the lab reports and the theatrics. Mostly the drama.
Not even close. Different endpoints, different populations. The NCT number alone doesn’t tell you much without the eligibility section.
Watching. If someone posts a recent COA and delivery timeline, I might bite. Until then, I’ll live vicariously through this thread.
Watching this thread like it’s a limited drop. Popcorn ready.
I noticed the same thing. Their COA tab loads after checkout for some items, and two PDFs I opened had lab name and HPLC date but no current…
Fair, but my pants size changed before the scale. Hard to fake that.
