stretching to 10 days instead of 7 — anyone doing this long term
stretching to 10 days instead of 7 — anyone doing this long term. Making the case below, and I expect to lose some of it in the comments.
Figures up front so nobody has to dig: 10 days.
The habits from the losing phase are what carry it now. That is not inspirational, it is just what happened.
Drifted up 14kg over a winter and panicked. It came back off without any change, which is apparently just what weight does.
That is everything I have. The rest is opinion and I have tried to keep it out.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Body weight varies by a couple of kilos over days in stable people through fluid, glycogen and gut content. A range is not a trend.
Agreed that a few kilos of drift is ordinary. Weight is not a fixed number even for people who have never taken anything.
Agreed. Lowest effective dose is the actual maintenance question and it gets almost no airtime next to the escalation threads.
Appetite returning before the scale moves follows from the mechanism: the appetite effect is the proximal one and weight is the lagging integrated outcome.
That is a range, not a trend. Two weigh-ins 22 days apart cannot distinguish them.
stretching the interval is not the same as reducing the dose
