Agreed.
Most report the first pound (s) that are shed due to rapa starts at 15 or 16 months. And goes for weeks before you plateau.
Let’s see.

First 3mg dose last night. Wanted to make sure I could tolerate it. No problem. Will take 2 mg today then 5mg per week from then on. Will monitor my OA in my hip and fingers closely for any improvement.

You are at the point you might start losing a pound every few days… of visceral fat.
That happened?
Have had no weight loss yet.

@Joseph are you doing any blood work during your test with rapamycin (either before taking, or at any time during)? To see if there is any impact on your blood measures? I find this very helpful to see the real effect on your body.
I missed last week. Traveling and could not receive prescription. Mouth sores went away I assume as a result. Took 5mg last night at dinner. Had a restless sleep. Whoop shows I had little deep sleep.

Yes, took my 10 mg with a glass of GFJ last night… was typical… restlessness… poor sleep.

Really recommend taking it in the morning if at all possible. I have terrible sleeps when I take rapamycin in the afternoon or evening.
