@vga Congratulations and thanks for sharing. I’m curious to know, because it’s always hard to separate these things, did you change other significant things such as going on HRT or significantly changing your diet? I’m 63, with scores in -3.0 to -3.3. I’m doing Onero plus starting HRT, plus changing my diet and supplements, throwing everything I can at it. Only a month in so it will be a long time to see results.

@mwallj Sure--happy to share. I'm not on HRT. My diet has been steady for the past few years: basically, lean meat, vegetables, and some dairy. I run high on A1C (5.8), so I stay as low-carb as I can. The only additions other than weight-lifting have been Vitamin K2 and D for supplements. However, I have paid more attention to my protein intake, making sure I have adequate protein each day. I wasn't so careful earlier; I started that with weight-lifting. If I don't take in enough protein during the day, I'll have a scoop of whey protein in water (no flavors, sugars, or sweeteners). I have long taken Omega 3, a multivitamin with zinc, and magnesium. I drink milk with my coffee (homemade latte) and eat raw yogurt daily. I still run (I'm a very slow, unimpressive runner), but not as much as now weight-lifting is my primary exercise routine. The bone scan machine was the same one that scanned me last year. I think I even had the same technician. Aside from the scan results, I feel much stronger, more capable, and more confident in my body. I started with very low weights I could barely budge, but quickly kept trying to move up as I've learned heavy weights matter.
