[Question] hair loss — what am I missing here
hair loss — what am I missing here. If this has been answered properly somewhere, link me and I will delete.
The fatigue turned out to be that I was eating about a third of what I thought I was. Tracked it for a week and the mystery evaporated.
Nobody warned me about fatigue and I would have liked the warning. It was not dangerous, it was just deeply unpleasant and completely unexpected.
Kept a one-line-a-day log for two months. The pattern was obvious on paper and invisible in my head.
Screenshot none of this. Read the whole thread, including the parts where I am told I am wrong.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Most of the common complaints trace back to slowed gastric emptying — early fullness, reflux, nausea after a large or fatty meal. That is also why meal size and speed change the experience more than anything else.
constipation on day two and gone by day four is the standard shape
Pushback: you changed the dose, the meal timing and the training in the same fortnight, so the attribution is guesswork.
Is it every week or did it start at a particular dose?
The effect on gastric emptying is most pronounced early and attenuates with continued dosing, which is the mechanism behind the "it settles at a stable dose" pattern the whole board reports.
muscle cramps for the first eight days after each step, then nothing, every single time. Predictable enough that I started planning my week around it.
Careful with the supplement recommendation. There is no evidence for it here and the mechanism you are proposing does not hold.
Correction: that is a known effect of reduced intake rather than a direct drug effect. The distinction matters because the fix is different.
sulphur burps are unpleasant and they are not dangerous
Held the dose for an extra six weeks instead of stepping. The reflux settled and I lost the same amount anyway.
Severe or persistent abdominal pain sits outside the pattern this board can usefully discuss. The honest answer there is that it needs someone who can examine you.
a rough fortnight at each step is normal, a rough three months is not
the food noise going quiet is the effect people came for, and early fullness is the toll for the first fortnight
the sulphur burps that arrives at week 13 out of nowhere is usually something else
Has anything else changed in the same window?
nobody warns you about how much of this is timing rather than dose
holding a dose an extra month is a legitimate answer to bad tolerance
fibre and water before you buy anything to fix it
write down when it starts and stops, the pattern is the useful part
Small fix — the shedding follows the rate of weight loss, not the compound, and it is temporary.
