how much of what we believe about GIP actually comes from SURMOUNT threads
Trying to get a straight answer on this: how much of what we believe about GIP actually comes from SURMOUNT threads. On comparing yourself with the trial number. SURMOUNT-1 reported roughly 21% mean body weight change at 72 weeks on the highest arm. Three things get dropped every time that figure is quoted here. It…
What is the waist doing? That is usually the number still moving during a scale stall.
Agree. The GIP component is the interesting half and it barely gets discussed outside c/glp1science.
Agree.
Not sure about this bit. The GIP arm being real does not tell you that it is what caused your particular week.
Went 10 to 12.5 on the calendar and had the worst fortnight of the whole run. Dropped back to 10 and everything settled.
Careful with "everyone tolerates it better". The people it did not suit stop posting, which makes this board look calmer than the drug is.
I would separate the two claims. That the GIP arm exists is uncontroversial; that it explains your injection-site soreness pattern is a guess.
I would separate the two claims.
Saving this one. It is the clearest statement of the stall problem I have read here.
a lot of people plateau nicely at 10mg and never need 15
The thing nobody warned me about was how much of this is logistics — storing it, remembering it, the same day every week.
the four-week step schedule is the label, not folklore
That percentage is body weight change, not body fat. Different measurement, and the distinction gets lost every time.
