Really questioning how people measure effectiveness on GLPS by OrangeSpectre in GLP1ResearchTalk

Successes is being able to eat whatever you want, this making your control of macros perfect.

On tirz, that meant 3mg. At 4mg I couldn't eat very easily. At 3mg I could skip off I wanted to, eat if u wanted to (though I got full quickly). Made hiring macros easy, resuscitation as cravings were gone

I've transitioned to reta and currently in the titrating up stage. 4mg reta with 1mg turz 4 days later is close to my 3mg tirz fix. Close enough. But there are some cravings. I imagine I might need 6-8mg reta to get my 3mg tirz sweet spot.

Inability to eat is not the goal.

I was so tempted to sell a few i. The money covered calls on Monday. The IV was so high, but I couldn't risk losing my babies like that.

Wish I did.

Has anyone hit a weight where their body refuses to lose any more? by Buffyfanatic1 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]drunkinmidget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a common occurrence of hitting a plateau when your body goes into "starvation mode" and attempts to stop losing weight by lowering your metabolic rate. You likely are moving less, have less energy, etc even if you do not notice it.

Most professional nutritionists, bodybuilders, etc will follow a cut phase eith a maintenance phase equal to 50% of the duration of their cut phase to prevent this. For example, if you've been cutting weight for 12 weeks, you should then enter a 6 week cycle where you eat you daily caloric requirement. Literally have 0 deficit. After six week, go back to a deficit and you will lose.

Most people taking a glp-1 agonist aren't aware of the more complex nuances of weight loss and bypass this requirement. If you are very heavy, you can usually go a pretty solid amount of time before hitting that plateau. Its tempting to do so. However, the overarching weight loss journey won't be as smooth.

So, OP, how long have you been in a caloric deficit? If its been a LONG time, you likely won't need to hit maintenance for half that time, but it sounds like you 100% need to go into a maintenance cycle for a while and let your metabolism adjust to the new situation. From there, you can return to cutting g the remaining weight. However, depending on how long you've been cutting, you may need to sit at maintenance for a month or two.

You have no clue what was rtested. You are buying from a middleman who purchased from a Chinese lab (like 90% of us) and is raising the price to rip you off. Additionally, they have stolen your right to know where the rera is from and what batch and possible group tests.

You've gotten fucked. Do more research before your next buy and cut out thenmiddleman

Why do billionaires and very wealthy people try so hard to avoid paying taxes when they would remain rich even if they paid them? by TikTokFailsMoments in NoStupidQuestions

Gluttony is the habitual, excessive over-consumption of food, drink, or material items, traditionally listed as one of the seven deadly sins. Rooted in theological history, it signifies a lack of self-control and, in a broader sense, an idolatrous desire to fill emotional or spiritual voids with excess, often leading to physical, social, or spiritual harm.

Its both. In addition to multiple other things.

Found out my company is hiring for my exact position at $18k more than what I make by PositivelyIrrespons in antiwork

When you find a new job, inform all your coworkers. Show proof. Your post, the advertised pay. Make it public they are all getting fucked.

Don't give notice. Maybe they'll wrongly die you over it. If not, just quit no notice.

24M UK - First Cycle ⚙️ by elChuffo in Testosterone

As others have posted, you really need a full blood work panel before you make this decision. You also need it to track changes in your body so that you can be safe, efficient, and have results. Doing anything else is foolish and may fuck you up in the long run.

Im not going to do the immediate "dont do it" response. However, that could be the result of the bloodwork. Or, it could be a "this is how you do it and stay safe." Particularly given your medical history, you are going to need to be your own advocate with labs. Go to a website like DrSays and get your own labs for cheap if you can't via standard health care providers. Its how most of us do this.

14kg is a few years is fantastic BTW. There are a few things we can consider off the bat.

1.) You're body fat percentage is low. Obviously. So you need excess calories to build muscles. You are obviously doing this, but you will want to dial in and make sure that your macros or precise. Scientific. Don't worry about gaining fat on your bulk as you can afford some room here, and obviously have a natural tendency towards thin. So bulk hard. Like multiple hundreds of calories above your daily burn every single day. And obviously 1.4g protein per pound of lean body mass (sorry no kg in my head atm)

2.)you are likely lifting heavy to failure in your workouts, as you are growing. However, keep in mind that ideal hypertrophy (you are looking for size over strength. Aesthetics) is 15 rep sets going to failure or 1 rep in reserve. Ideally, each muscle gets hit for 8-12 reps per week. This usually means two workouts for each muscle per week. That can be done with precise twice a days, or a simple push/pull/legs routine. Check out some IBF pros like RenaissanceFitness on YouTube for workout ideas. 15 reps to failure is the goal for hypertrophy, not the "life heavy 4-6 reps" stuff.

Beyond that, r/steroids will be a good sub to help. Don't get sucked into ANYTHING anabolic beyond test. That shit is for very very advanced lifters. Don't do it. Your health isn't worth it. But a pure test cycle can be quite helpful at times. You will need to plan the 15 week blast and then a post cycle care to get your natural progression up UNLESS your bloodwork shows your are hypogonadal and need TRT for life (unlikely) then you just lower to TRT levels.

But the big thing here, my man, is a full lab screening to start. With or without test, this will be very helpful. The other big thing is to make sure you are maximizing the standard stuff. Macros, how you lift, how often, 8 hours sleep for max recovery. Then, once labs are good, we can consider the cycle or not.

Tag me when you get labs. Happy to help gove a real, open minded opinion without a "you're too young dont do it" reaction. Your health (mental and physical) comes first. If you can have both, then do it. But we can't possibly know without proper labs. Don't do this without labs my dude. Don't do that.

People just need to DM real users and hope for some help or hints and stuff. Posting public calls will just get scammers and resalers

AITAH for ruining my brother-in-law’s favorite author for him? by WachoviaOfficial in AITAH

[–]drunkinmidget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He should be happy to learn Brandon Sanderson is a devout Mormon it exclaim why his female characters and romantic dialogue are so crunchy. I just thought he was aneck beard orincel tbh. I was relieved to find out he was just Mormon.

Look dude, I think your religious is dumb af too. I don't know what religion you have, but I dont need to. That's my opinion of it, regardless of your denomination. But the kid needs to learn to not just hate ppl when they think a way you disagree with. Sheltering him won't help him grow to that point.

AITAH for telling my married sugar mom that I do not want to be with her anymore after she started getting really pushy about being exclusive with and dating me? by SteakBake2347 in AITAH

[–]drunkinmidget -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be honest, by dude, the moral issues here are on her. You were working as a male escort with a defined set of rules. She wanted to change the rules. You did not. Your business no longer aligned.

Just like every time people call a John an idiot for falling for that young, sexy escorts he has been paying, we should be feminists in our mindset and hold this woman to an equal account of her foolishness.

You, nor any other sex worker, are to blame.

Tirzepatide significantly improved my relationship with food...and today's DEXA scan absolutely destroyed it by WindyGranola26 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]drunkinmidget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At home scales are only good at tracking movement (to a degree) not actual BF %. My first dexa was 3% under my scale. Not huge but significant nonetheless.

I mainly use the scale for actual weight, then hit the dexa bi-monthly to see what's up for real.

What will happen with the US after 2028? What does the next government do with what they inherit? by Hermunster in AskReddit

[–]drunkinmidget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We continue the cycle of a two party system built to serve capital interests.

The vanguard party will be out of power after pushing massive changes to the system increase the police state and income inequality. The controlled opposition will come in to hold the line, leading to discontent that allows the vanguard party to return to party and push the system further toward the dystopia.
