how much of what we believe about interval stretching actually comes from tapering threads

Regainbranch of 8 comments

Asking properly rather than in a comment on somebody else’s thread: how much of what we believe about interval stretching actually comes from tapering threads. A written baseline — dose, date, weight, waist, and how appetite feels — taken before any change is what makes the following months interpretable rather than…

regain is the expected outcome and framing it as failure helps nobody

About c/tapering

Stopping on purpose: dose reduction versus interval stretching, what the discontinuation arms of STEP 1 and SURMOUNT-4 actually showed about regain, appetite return timelines, and the people who came off, regained, and went back on without treating it as a failure.

c/tapering rules
  1. Cite the discontinuation data rather than guessing at regain rates.
  2. No shaming people who restart.
  3. Say how long you were on and at what dose before you tapered.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
