The placebo arm lost weight too. Always ask by how much.

comment on help me understand nausea, I have read the wiki twice in c/sideeffects · 1 points · 1 year ago
Constipation is mostly reduced intake plus reduced fluid, not a direct effect. That is why the boring fibre and water answer keeps working.
comment on three years of reflux threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/sideeffects · 430 points · 1 year ago
Yes — the day-two-to-day-four window is so consistent across this board that it is almost diagnostic.
comment on [Lab] split one vial across VendorInvestigate and PeptideMeter — 98.6% and 93.7% in c/retatrutide · 22 points · 1 year ago
Kept a log specifically because there is so little published. It is one person and it is not data.
comment on dose escalation — my 16-week log, condensed into one table in c/retatrutide · 110 points · 1 year ago
Independent purity testing on this compound is thin compared with the older molecules, simply because fewer members have paid for it. Fewer results means wider uncertainty, not a verdict.
comment on stalled for 12 weeks at 10mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/retatrutide · 36 points · 1 year ago
the phase 2 numbers were striking and they were also 48 weeks in a small population
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about ranking until somebody posts a number in c/meta · 3 points · 1 year ago
This. Modmail first is not bureaucracy; it stops individual cases turning into a public pile-on.
comment on 15 months in and struggle is still the thing I get wrong in c/progresspics · 6 points · 1 year ago
comparison is the thief of everything on a board like this
kian_ferreira is right that the clothes tell you before the scale does.

A rule-change proposal needs replacement wording because that is what can be evaluated. Without it there is nothing to compare against the current text.
comment on am I the only one who found triple agonist harder than the injections in c/retatrutide · 15 points · 1 year ago
small trial, big effect, wide error bars
comment on gallbladder — 15 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/sideeffects · 41 points · 1 year ago
reflux at night, try not eating in the three hours before bed
comment on 3 months in and triple agonist is still the thing I get wrong in c/retatrutide · 64 points · 1 year ago
phase 2 data only, and people quote it like it is a label
comment on help me understand progress, I have read the wiki twice in c/progresspics · 9 points · 1 year ago
Wrote down one non-scale thing every week. Reading a year of those back was more affecting than any number.
comment on the disclosure question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/meta · 21 points · 1 year ago
Read the ranking formula out of scepticism and reproduced the ordering in a spreadsheet. It does what it says.
comment on the disclosure question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/meta · 2 points · 1 year ago
What is the concrete wording you would replace it with?
comment on the disclosure question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/meta · 6 points · 1 year ago
That is the controversial ordering, not the hot one. Different formula, different behaviour.
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about fatigue until somebody posts a number in c/sideeffects · 26 points · 2 years ago
Pushback: you changed the dose, the meal timing and the training in the same fortnight, so the attribution is guesswork.
comment on my TSH moved and I cannot work out whether sulphur burps are why in c/sideeffects · 192 points · 2 years ago
The fatigue turned out to be that I was eating about a third of what I thought I was. Tracked it for a week and the mystery evaporated.
comment on [Question] heart rate — what am I missing here in c/sideeffects · 87 points · 2 years ago
fatigue plus low intake is usually just low intake
comment on wiki — 21 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/meta · 44 points · 2 years ago
Edited a wiki page for the first time and nothing bad happened, which is apparently the point.
comment on what changed for me between month 8 and month 12 in c/sideeffects · 197 points · 2 years ago
Constipation is mostly reduced intake plus reduced fluid, not a direct effect. That is why the boring fibre and water answer keeps working.
comment on genuine question about reflux that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/sideeffects · 127 points · 2 years ago
the food noise going quiet is the effect people came for, and reflux is the toll for the first fortnight
comment on how much of what we believe about hair loss actually comes from gallbladder threads in c/sideeffects · 9 points · 2 years ago
Small fix — the shedding follows the rate of weight loss, not the compound, and it is temporary.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify hair loss in c/sideeffects · 562 points · 2 years ago
write down when it starts and stops, the pattern is the useful part
comment on anyone else notice dose escalation kicking in around week 37 in c/retatrutide · 236 points · 2 years ago
comparing reta phase 2 to sema phase 3 is comparing different things
