So far it appears I’ve lost nearly all of my visceral fat as well. I say appears because I’m currently basing this on my home bio impedance scale readings which puts me at a 1. I’ve been tracking body composition estimates with the same scale for the last 14 months. I’ve asked my husband for a dexa scan as a gift for Christmas to confirm. I also have visible abs which I’ve never had before fwiw. I’m a 54 y/o female and for me it was closer to 6 months on rapa for this change to start to occur. I’ve lost 13 pounds but my weight didn’t budge whatsoever in the first 6 months. Since I generally feel better I added in resistance training which certainly helped and seems synergistic with rapa. I’m not sure if it’s just me or if it takes a little longer for this impact to happen (when it happens) in women.

Yes, I’m on 3mg rapa weekly since 1/6/23 (5’1/97 pounds). Other supplements include:
Taurine 2g QD (previously 1g off and on for years)
Melatonin time release 20mg QD before bed
Multi vitamin/mineral (most days)
Glycine 2g QD
*5-Htp 200mg before bed
*Lithium orotate 5mg (most days)
Estradiol patch .075mg (not for longevity specifically but for menopause)
*Creatine 5g
Dhea 25mg QD
Vitamin D 2k/5 days per week
Exercise:
*Weight lifting 3x weekly
Walking in weighted vest 30-45 minutes 3-4x weekly
Starred items are things I’ve added since starting rapa which definitely could have helped. I’ve also improved my less than optimal diet by reducing fat and adding more fibrous vegetables.
As an average woman who is learning as I go so I’m definitely open to fine tuning my longevity approach. I think we should always be open to learning and adjusting as needed.
