appetite returning is not the drug failing, it is the drug doing less because you are taking less of it

appetite came back over about three weeks after i reduced, not all at once, which is what i had braced for, ymmv
i was wrong about maintenance being the easy part and i had said so loudly for a year beforehand
lift twice a week

regain is expected
dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly
while im here how do you decide youre actually at maintenance rather than just stalled

the food noise came back at the lower dose, does it settle again
there is no trial on every ten days or every fortnight. people here do it and report on it and that is all we have, n of 1 obviously
*Janoshik not the other one
the muscle question is the one i wish i had taken seriously at month two instead of month twelve
a 10mg vial at a 2mg maintenance dose is five weeks of doses, so my monthly cost roughly halved
coming down too fast was my mistake. top rung to the bottom rung inside a month and it was a bad month
regain after stopping is the expected outcome, which is a horrible sentence and also what the data says

im at goal and nobody has told me what happens next, whats the room doing
resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous
is maintenance different between cagrilintide and the others or is that all anecdote
if you find maintenance harder than the losing part you are in the majority in this room
how quickly did appetite come back going from 7.5 to 1.7
went back up, no regrets
protein up not down
