OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Hydration tracking on.
To answer HPLC_Greg: I started tracking everything in a spreadsheet from day 1.
Quick update: I will post a proper update thread soon. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏
Adding my data to this Hydration tracking on discussion:
| Metric | Baseline | Month 3 | Month 8 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 242 lbs | 222 lbs | 207 lbs |
| A1C | 6.6% | 5.8% | 5.4% |
| hsCRP | 6.0 | 2.0 | 0.8 |
Protocol: Semaglutide 2.4mg/wk, resistance training 3x/wk, protein 1.4g/kg/day.
Agreed. My doctor said the same thing about Hydration tracking.
Slightly tangential to Hydration tracking on but DadBodDave reminded me — has anyone else noticed changes in their alcohol tolerance?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
+1 to PharmacoVig_BOS. Especially the point about "Thank you all for the thoughtful replies..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with Hydration tracking on.
