The honest answer is that the effect is real, the magnitude is contested, and the individual variation is larger than either.

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.

Agreed on the target, with the caveat that reference weight and current weight are different numbers.

This is exactly what I could not find anywhere else. Printing the relevant bit and taking it with me.

I read this differently from Dr.LeslieOBGYN, on substance rather than tone. Filing an objection on the n=1 problem. Personal experience is genuine evidence about one person and very weak evidence about anybody else, and this thread keeps promoting the first into the second.

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

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. If you are going to change something, change one thing and give it long enough to express itself. Four weeks is the usual minimum for anything pharmacological on this board, and two weeks of data has told you almost nothing.

Moderator note: two posts asking for a source have been merged into one. Please search the thread before asking again. Report rather than reply if it drifts again.
