GLP-1 memes thread — looking for input

A narrower follow-up, since the general answer is now clear:

What did you change at the same time, and can you separate the two now?

It is worth asking what the claim would look like if it were false.

I am going to disagree with the direction of travel here. The thread has converged on the tidiest answer rather than the best-supported one, and those are not the same thing.

Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

True, and it depends on a baseline nobody has stated. Without knowing where someone started, the same number can be an excellent result or a disappointing one.

Bookmarking. The distinction being drawn above is the one nobody else makes. I will report back once I have actually tried it.

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. Start from the measurement rather than the conclusion. Almost every disagreement here turns out to be two people measuring different things and comparing the numbers anyway.

That is the short version; the long version is somebody else's post.
