BenResearch_OR — that is really helpful context on Muscle protein synthesis. Follow-up question: how long did you wait before increasing your dose?

I am in a similar situation (week 4) and trying to set realistic expectations.

Reading this thread on Muscle protein synthesis hits close to home. Night shift nurse — I started at 275 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.

11 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 50 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.

If you are on the fence about Muscle protein — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️

Reading this thread on Muscle protein synthesis hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 297 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.

13 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 72 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.

If you are on the fence about Muscle protein — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
