This is where I part company with the consensus forming above. Filing an objection on the n=1 problem. Personal experience is genuine evidence about one person and very weak evidence about anybody else, and this thread keeps promoting the first into the second.

I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.

True, and it depends on a baseline nobody has stated. Without knowing where someone started, the same number can be an excellent result or a disappointing one.

Worth separating that from retatrutide, which this thread keeps folding into the same question. They behave differently and the advice does not transfer.

This is exactly what I could not find anywhere else. I will report back once I have actually tried it.

From the other side of the consultation, briefly. The mechanism and the magnitude are separate questions. Agreeing that something happens says nothing about whether it happens enough to act on.

Mine went the same way, slower.
