for the archive does the energy expenditure claim show up as anything you can feel

low and slow here means smaller steps than i ever used on tirzepatide, thats the received wisdom, from memory
lost 14kg over 18 months at doses well under what the trials used
triple agonist, GLP-1 and GIP and glucagon. the glucagon arm is the part with no long history, i think
energy expenditure isnt something i could feel, though my sleep tracker disagreed with me
smaller steps here
blood pressure stayed flat for me while heart rate moved, which i didnt expect, ill dig out the number
i said 3 months ago that my heart rate had settled and it has stayed settled since
does the glucagon arm explain the heart rate or is that unrelated
people insist on small steps because the side effects arrive faster than on the other two, ill dig out the number
quick one did the phase 2 result actually come in higher than the tirzepatide numbers
held at 1 for 23 months and it never plateaued for me, which i cant explain
settled by month three
my resting rate went up 6 bpm in the first month and came back most of the way by month 10
the honest position is this has less human evidence behind it than anything else discussed here
for the archive anyone tracking blood pressure alongside the heart rate
i log resting heart rate every morning because of this and its the one number i actually watch
the phase 2 weight result was larger than what the earlier agonists reported, in a smaller shorter trial
i went up too fast, got a fortnight of nothing but nausea, and dropped back two steps
phase 2 was still trending at the end which is why the phase 3 readout matters more than usual, anyway
how slow is low and slow here, four weeks a step or longer
my resting heart rate is up about 8 bpm, did that settle for anyone
follow up did the phase 2 plateau or was it still moving at the end
phase 2 doses are published and theyre not far off what people here run, coincidence rather than plan, from memory
cant feel it honestly
the glucagon arm is the mechanistic story for extra energy expenditure and its still a story to me, happy to be corrected
triple agonist yeah
there is no long term safety data, phase 2 and an ongoing phase 3 programme is what exists
while im here stepping in 2.4 increments instead of doubling is the only thing i would change if i started again
stopped for 20 months and restarted at half my old dose, the ramp was easier second time
nobody should read my log as a plan, im recording what i did and thats all it is
TRIUMPH is the phase 3 programme, thats the name to search rather than the molecule
update on the earlier thing the heart rate thing is real enough that i mention it whenever someone asks about starting
why does everyone insist on smaller steps here than on the other two
TRIUMPH is phase 3

glucagon is the new bit, thats one data point
research use only
mine went up too
no long term data
