From the other side of the consultation, briefly.
DEXA scan update relevant to lean mass:
Scanned at months 0, 6, and 12. Here are the body comp numbers:
| Baseline | Month 6 | Month 12 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total mass | 251 lbs | 226 lbs | 198 lbs |
| Fat mass | 101 lbs | 71 lbs | 48 lbs |
| Lean mass | 154 lbs | 150 lbs | 155 lbs |
| Body fat % | 44% | 30% | 22% |
Lean mass preserved — actually GAINED 1-2 lbs thanks to progressive overload + 1.4g/kg protein. The lean mass discussion needs to include body comp data, not just scale weight.
