protein and resistance training, that is the entire intervention

Same. Volume over novelty. Changing programme every six weeks cost me a year.

Started keeping the trial identifiers straight in a note file because I kept mixing up two programmes in the same sentence.

Split one order across two months on purpose to compare summer and winter. Four days apart, same carrier, same route.

Three scans over eighteen months, same machine, same conditions. Only the third one made the first two interpretable.

STEP is semaglutide obesity, SURMOUNT is tirzepatide obesity, they are not interchangeable

Agreed. And the interval, not the point estimate, is what the trial actually established.

Went looking for the registered protocol to see whether the endpoint had changed. It had not, which was reassuring and worth checking.

A quoted lead time is a commitment you can evaluate. Measuring quoted against actual across several orders tells you more about an operation than the raw speed does.

nothing on this board is a training or nutrition prescription

rigid outer packaging is the cheapest quality signal there is

Tracked grip strength and three lifts monthly. Cheaper than scanning and directionally the same answer.

How many shipments does your figure cover?

Rate of change is not a virtue. Slower trajectories are as durable as fast ones and are considerably better represented on this board than the front page suggests.

Push back: comparing a July transit with a February one on the same lane is not a comparison.

16 days on a lane quoted at 16 is the shape you want

summer and winter are different lanes with the same name

Correction: those scans are from different machines, and the difference you are describing is within the measurement error.

This is the whole intervention. Protein and resistance training.

Yes. Nobody here is prescribing training or nutrition and the good posts say so.

nobody owes anybody a starting weight

Rate of change is not a virtue. Slower trajectories are as durable as fast ones and are considerably better represented on this board than the front page suggests.

Cosigning the seasonality point. February and August on the same lane are different animals.
