Getting started

Setting the app up, importing history, and reading what it shows you.

1. Why did I gain weight overnight? Water, glycogen and gut contentsAn overnight gain is water, glycogen, gut contents and sodium. In one 84-weigh-in log the daily swing ran 11.9 times the real rate of change underneath it.
2. How to import your weight history from Apple HealthOne tap reads every body-mass sample Apple Health holds, back to the first. Peptrend writes back only the weigh-ins you type in.
3. How fast is too fast to lose weight? The 1.5 lb/week capPeptrend refuses any plan faster than 1.5 lb a week and greys out Save. Where that cap sits against published rates, and how the rate, ETA and deficit are computed.
4. Is Peptrend free? What the free tier covers and what Pro costsYes, there is a free tier. Every weigh-in, dose and vial you log is free, along with the raw weight chart, import, export and iCloud sync. Pro buys the trend line.
5. What is Athlete Mode? Ten fitness metrics beside your dosesNew in 1.4.0: ten fitness readings from Apple Health, charted beside your logged doses and coloured by the dose in effect. Read-only, opt-in, silent on causation.
6. How to read dose markers and level shading on a weight chartPeptrend draws each dose as a dashed line on the weight chart and the in-system estimate as a shaded band. What each mark means, and what not to infer.
