Not a Research Expert

Hey Everyone,

Somewhere along the way I picked up the tag "Research Expert" next to my name. I think this is largely based on the software algorithm and maybe some of @ZippityDooDah's discretion but I'm really not sure. I have asked him to remove this moniker as I am not comfortable with it. I don't want members placing more stock in my opinions based on that moniker. Ideally, I would encourage everyone to read a variety of different viewpoints, even ones you disagree with before making important decisions for yourselves.

FWIW, I am actually a nurse, I do read a lot of research articles, gather intel about sources from more experienced members across multiple platforms and I am involved with two testing servers but, I am not that much further ahead of the game than a lot of you. I'm more like a sophomore getting good grades (so far) and I continue to increase my knowledge as much as possible.

I know many people are not going to go as deep into the weeds as I do but, in this space especially, please resist the temptation to follow any one person or discount another out of hand simply because you disagree with them or don't like them. Some will prey on your trust while the ones that annoy you may actually be dispensing valuable nuggets of hard-earned knowledge.

I know a lot of you just want to know who you can buy from with 100% certainty and the honest answer is no one. Even some of the domestic vendors have had issues. Of course, some vendors are more trustworthy than others but they are only as good as their last act so once you find a vendor that you 'trust', remember to trust but verify. Always.

I am so down the rabbit holes! And you have to get and stay super organized! I've learned to finally solve for x because of peps! I have a notebook of protocols, a notebook of purchases from which vendors, when, price, with all 2d and 3d party COAs, I have a file of just 3d p COAS, I have my calculations, a notebook of the protocols I'm following, files on my computer by pep and protocol, including downloaded screenshots labeled for the right category! I have all my filtering equipment. I have my lab! Helps that my study is all white and I can feel like a scientist! I have my 600 gram measuring scale too!

Ahahaha. I was always a math nerd. Then I got really good at solve for x from dieting, 140 cal per 85g rotisserie chicken, so 200g = ? I just add ingredients, write the grams, tare the scale and add more, do the math last.

I have a little binder/planner that lives in my purse (and a hole punch for when I need extra pages) where I track EVERYTHING like a psychopath, separated with tabs and everything, color coded. Daily calories, average calories per week, daily weight, a graph of weight by week, dosing schedule and amounts, what constitution each vial is/ how I plan to make it to keep my doses small as mg go up. Lists of sellers with ratings and how to contact them based on breadcrumbs I follow. List of daily meds and a tracker for if I took them. Different glp-1's with pros and cons (started with sema and I'm sticking with it til it doesn't work, been about a month). List of different food prepped meals I made for the week and their macros. Food diary.

And that's just the section for weight loss.

Lol my tag still bounces between "Registered" and "New_Member". I've got a long ways to go

I saw moonpies tag bouncing back and forth yesterday

Yeah it seems to do that for pretty much everyone

Go figure. I have been a member since January 24. I read a bunch but don't engage much so I am still a "new" member.

You can make a ‘Not a New Member’ post!

Lol it's back to research expert for me, and I haven't posted anything since your comment. I'm sure the next time I log in it'll be gone again I thought I remember seeing Zippity say he assigns it manually, but with the erratic way it's acting right now I wonder if that's changed.View attachment 3218

You are on my end now too!

Ya you’re back to registered. But as soon as I hit post it might say something else.

Love how you measure your kcal in chickens

Kind of similar to my financial decision making: If I don’t buy this thing I don’t need… I can buy X buckets of protein powder

Oh god that was an example My math page is a series of 140kcal/85g=xkcal/200g, 45kcal/60g=xkcal/42g. I do the ingredients separately I swear! I don't measure EVERYTHING in chicken!

I DIDN'T buy the new kindle.... So that means I can buy another kit or two of sema, right?

chmuse, that’s damn impressive.

What isn't impressive is how I've used forums for decades and can't seem to remember how to attach a gif.

I track a lot more than is necessary.
