Inter-lab diff for lot A-2601: 98.6% vs 99%. Within expected range.

AB

while im here does a missed week reset anything or do you just carry on

after a gap of more than about three weeks i restart one rung lower. thats my own rule, not advice, happy to be corrected

HH

i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything

AB

if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later

whats your rule for when a side effect means hold rather than push

HH

a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored

U1

if you are going up because the scale stalled for two weeks, wait. two weeks is noise

AA

my rule: if a side effect is still there at day five, i hold. if it clears by day three, i step

has anyone gone up and then straight back down and been glad they tried

if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet

SA

update from 3 months ago: held at the same dose the whole time and still losing slowly

plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data

do you escalate on the calendar or on how you feel

👍1

the honest answer is that most of us are running protocols nobody has ever studied, i could be wrong

U1

is there a point where going up stops buying you anything

i jumped a rung once to catch up after a supply gap and it was a bad week. would not repeat, happy to be corrected

SH

nobody here can tell you what dose to be on and the ones who try get corrected
