[Meta] proposal — a flair for 15mg posts
Housekeeping: proposal — a flair for 15mg posts. 15mg — those are the numbers, and they are the ones I am willing to defend. The distribution matters more than the mean. In the trial population the interquartile spread was wide enough that two honest people can have completely different runs on the same arm. Held 7.5…
It is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, and the GIP arm is the part that has no equivalent in the semaglutide threads. That is why the side-effect profile reads differently rather than just milder.
That percentage is body weight change, not body fat. Different measurement, and the distinction gets lost every time.
The thing nobody warned me about was how much of this is logistics — storing it, remembering it, the same day every week.
Yes — 10mg being a genuine landing place for a lot of people is underrated. There is no medal for 15.
Correction to my own post above — I said 5mg and I have been on 7.5mg since the spring. Same argument, wrong number.
2.5mg is a four-week starting dose, not a maintenance dose. Worth being precise since people search these threads.
