1.6g/kg minimum, front-loaded at breakfast. The rest of the diet sorts itself out.

and iron specifically is hard to hit on a small appetite because the best sources are dense and unappealing when you are full after four bites.

comment on hair started shedding at month 4 and stopped at month 9. protein and patience. in c/sideeffects · 132 points · 2 days ago
1.6g/kg minimum, front-loaded at breakfast, and the front-loading is the part people skip. When your appetite disappears by 3pm, anything you planned to eat in the evening does not happen.
Telogen effluvium after a significant metabolic shift is a well-described phenomenon and it is not specific to these drugs — rapid loss by any route does it. It is also self-limiting, which is the bit nobody in month 5 believes.
comment on [CGM] what the postprandial curve actually looks like before and after in c/t2dglp1 · 3 points · 2 days ago
The diabetes and obesity programmes are separate, with different populations and different primary endpoints. Reading a result across from one to the other is not a comparison.
comment on the scale "stalled" for two months but my DEXA says otherwise, recomp is a stall in disguise in c/glp1muscle · 74 points · 2 days ago
1.6g/kg minimum is doing a lot of the work here I'd bet, recomp like this basically doesn't happen on a deficit without adequate protein regardless of training
comment on [Discussion] resistance training changes what "stall" should even mean on the scale in c/glp1muscle · 71 points · 3 days ago
protein target scales with the training too, obviously, 1.6g/kg is closer to a floor than a ceiling once you're actually lifting seriously through a deficit.
comment on six weeks flat at my top dose, is going up even an option at this point or just a bad idea in c/maintenancephase · 54 points · 3 days ago
first thing I'd actually check: protein intake. a lot of people's appetite drops so much at higher doses that protein target quietly slips even while calories look "fine", and that alone can flatten a cut. worked example: at 78kg, 1.6g/kg works out to 78 × 1.6 = 124.8g protein a day. most people who "think" they're eating enough are actually closer to 70-80g once they count it properly. edit: fixed my own arithmetic, first typed 128g instead of 124.8g.

What is and is not the supplier’s fault, since this board generates unfair complaints.
Not theirs: the network fee, chain congestion, confirmation time, the rate moving between quote and send, and a payment sent on the wrong chain. Theirs: which networks they accept, how quickly they credit a confirmed payment, and whether the address they gave you was correct and communicated clearly.
Keeping those columns separate makes the reports here far more useful. A thread titled "supplier took my payment" that turns out to describe forty minutes of unconfirmed transaction helps nobody and follows people around for years.
comment on [PSA] no tracking numbers. they identify both ends. removed on sight. in c/intlshipping · 28 points · 4 days ago
7 days on a lane quoted at 11 is the shape you want
comment on [Non-Scale Win] almost asked about going up, fixed protein and sleep instead, stall broke in c/progresspics · 176 points · 5 days ago
this exact pattern comes up so often it's almost formulaic at this point: dose is fine, protein and sleep quietly slip, scale flattens, person assumes dose problem. Glad you checked before messaging.
comment on [Question] protein target in g/kg — of current weight or goal weight in c/glp1muscle · 7 points · 6 days ago
Left up. Same machine, stated conditions, honest about the error margin.
comment on [Discussion] FFMI not weight, or you will celebrate losing muscle in c/glp1muscle · 13 points · 9 days ago
Agreed on the error margin. Quoting a DEXA to one decimal implies a precision the method does not have.

Has anyone else in the thread got the same domain in their history?
This is the check that catches most of it, and it takes under a minute.

Removed a prescriptive nutrition target aimed at another member. Describe your own intake instead.

a cloned storefront copies the design, never the documentation
comment on [Pattern] the fake-testing-service scam is getting better and that worries me in c/scamalerts · 1 points · 21 days ago
Right, and the group-buy structure is the underrated risk here. One person holds everything and there is no recourse designed in.
comment on [Data] packaging quality by vendor, scored on five things, 60 shipments in c/intlshipping · 17 points · 22 days ago
Four observations is not a distribution. The lane tables here only became predictive once individual routes had a dozen or more reports behind them.
comment on [Unverified] anyone else get a DM offering "wholesale pricing" in c/scamalerts · 1 points · 25 days ago
Was in a group buy that went quiet for six weeks. It resolved in the end, but the structure meant I had no visibility and no recourse the whole time.
comment on Spain: carrier, and what it actually costs here in c/intlshipping · 406 points · 28 days ago
Packaging is assessable on arrival with no equipment: rigid outer, no movement inside, the cold element sized to the transit rather than to the box.
comment on is it normal to get constipation at week 7 in c/survodutide · 8 points · 29 days ago
This. Biopsy-confirmed and imaging-suggested are different evidentiary categories and get run together constantly.

What lead time were you quoted at checkout?
comment on shipping — 24 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/intlshipping · 10 points · 1 months ago
Total transit decomposes into first mile, international leg, clearance and last mile.
This is why the lane table is organised the way it is. The supplier is not the unit.
comment on [Discussion] the FFMI advice in here is 3 years out of date in c/glp1muscle · 0 points · 1 months ago
Have the lifts held, dropped, or moved around?
Adding the free proxy — track a few lifts monthly. It costs nothing and it is longitudinal.
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about satiety until somebody posts a number in c/cagrilintide · 21 points · 1 months ago
Bought small deliberately because the evidence base is thin. That felt like the only defensible approach.
comment on three years of cloned site threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/scamalerts · 20 points · 2 months ago
a domain registered last month with a decade of testimonials is the whole tell
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify satiety in c/cagrilintide · 1 points · 2 months ago
Agreed that the monotherapy numbers look modest out of context and that the context is the whole story.

That is a packaging observation, not a transit observation. Worth posting, worth separating.

Four observations is not a distribution. The lane tables here only became predictive once individual routes had a dozen or more reports behind them.
comment on 8 months in and amylin is still the thing I get wrong in c/cagrilintide · 5 points · 3 months ago
Not convinced.
hedda_aguirre is right that the evidence base here is thin. Conclusions should be held loosely.
