Correct as far as it goes. The part it does not cover is what to do when the honest answer is "not enough data", which is more often than anyone likes.

Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

The meal advice is right and incomplete without the hydration point.

Genuinely useful, thank you. I had the facts and not the framework. Printing the relevant bit and taking it with me.

Careful with the causal language. Two things moving together in a period when five things changed is not a mechanism, and stating it as one makes the thread less useful to somebody reading it later.

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. Give anything pharmacological four weeks before you judge it, and give anything measured weekly a four-point rolling average before you call it a trend.
