Not a researcher, but worth knowing: it's easy to burn a whole Sunday down this hole. The smaller studies skew single-center academic work w…
Stress week = waist up 1.5 inches even when calories were identical.
My tape was stuck too until I realized I was measuring after coffee and a workout—first thing after the bathroom on a rest day read almost a…
Curious whether you're measuring hips and thighs too, or just the navel? When mine stalled at the waist, my hips had already dropped 3 inche…
My waist number sat still for almost a month, then dropped 1.75 inches in about nine days. Fat loss doesn't come off the tape in a straight …
If lifts are up and waist down, I'd keep going another 2-3 weeks before cutting. Sounds like recomp, not failure.
I disagree on shakes. They bloat me and kill dinner. I'd rather do 2 eggs + cheese and sip milk.
Week 58 here: my spreadsheet shows 1.8 lb of movement across three months while my jeans went from a 38 waist to a 34, so the closet was tel…
Nighttime casein is the one people actually tend to notice a difference from. But whey usually isn't the culprit behind a rest-day rebound. …
Day 21 here. My waist is down 2 cm and my morning weight is a flat line. I keep telling myself the tape measure doesn't lie. Then I step on …
Did your sleep change? Bad sleep weeks always freeze my scale even in a deficit.
I get why people want the numbers, but I’d rather hear how the 5, 10, and 15 mg arms felt to people who stayed on them. The registry tells m…
I was team “normal analytical variance” until I split one lot into two vials and sent them to the same lab—came back 98.7 and 97.5, so a 1.2…
Protein shakes make me hungrier. Sleep doesn't change that.
18 sets on a cut is recovery debt.
I stopped trusing the scale the day my jeans fit before the number moved.
The spreadsheet approach only works if you know the lab's report format. I used to treat old COAs as fine when the vendor was consistent, bu…
I'm cautiously optimistic. If a few more vets chime in with recent touchdown pics and COAs, I might give them a shot. Subbed for updates.
Welcome, by the way. This is exactly the kin dof intro I click on—numbers, timeline, a real question.
I keep a spreadsheet with report dates and batch IDs, and I note whether the chromatogram is attached. After 11 weeks the pattern is obvious…
I’d want dropouts first. 2539 enrolled sounds strong until you see how many stayed through Week 72.
I saw one product page with 'stock: low' and another with no status at all. Batch numbers were hit or miss.
Did your lifting volume go up recently? I added squats 2x/week and my scale stalled 4 weeks while my thighs got bigger. Measurements confuse…
Mine rebounedd too after a low-fat stretch. Once I added nuts and avocado it recovered. Just my log.
Batch-specific or I'm out. Old COA says nothing about B2405.
I logged 2 weeks of food and repeated the panel at the same lab, fasted. It cut the noise for me.
Yeah, trgis fell 130 to 78. ApoB was flat. My doc still side-eyed the LDL.
I emailed them. They claim all four batches have COAs, but only two are public. Lab is in Poland, method HPLC-UV, dates from Feb 2024. I ask…
Interested if they’ll do a group testing arrangement. I’d chip in for a blind sample to a reputable lab.
Sleep 6.5 would wreck my appetite. Any chance lifting volume is holding water?
ApoB barely moved on my labs too, but trigs dropped a lot. Anyone else seeing the same pattern?
That lag thing messed with my head for a whole quarter.
Whey and eggs in the rotation, saturated fat kept low. LDL still climbed 20 points on the last panel. Curious whether that tracks for anyone…
Watching this thread. Popcorn ready, wallet closed until I see a recent COA.
Cutting training volume but keeping the same daily step count barely moves anything. Two higher-carb days around 2200 though, and then whoos…
Same, but my LDL climbed for about 8 weeks after I lost 12 lb, then settled.
Do their COAs include third-party lab names and batch numbers, or just a generic PDF? I like to cross-check before ordering. If anyone has a…
Following. Any recent US domestic shipping times, or is it still the usual mystery tour?
39M, 8 weeks of logging everything and hitting the gym, down 7 lb. ApoB 99 to 97. Watching this thread because I'm stuck too.
Your week 31 at 17.1% and 181 lb lines up with wheer I got to around week 36: 16.4% at 176 lb. The unexpected part for me was that the leane…
Prices seem mid-range compared to similar vendors. Is there a discount for larger orders, or is the listed price final? Just comparing optio…
Sleep was my first clue. Choppy from week 18 to 22. I started tracking HRV and saw it dip when weight stalled.
Logged 63 sessions in Hevy before it dawned on me that 45-minute rests were getting counted as cardio. Apparently that's a whole thing with …
So maybe it's: 609 = big registry, 200/140 = mid, 62 = niche. Not rocket science, but it tracks.
Oral vs injectable is the real split in these threads. Oral posts get buried under injection talk — you have to scroll through pages of need…
I'd rather see 200 in NCT06897475 than 609 in something with no posted results. Enrollment size isn't quality.
Creatine doesn't cause 3 lb for everyone though. I've taken it for a year and my weight trend didn't change. Could be cortisol/sleep for you…
Common surprise: once creatine enters the picture, the scale does the same thing it always does — it parks there on water. The waist tape, m…
