It will take time to work. You can up the dose or just do ED injections both will work. @madcap71My experience so far on reta, 2 weeks in.
Not much in terms of weight loss but I'm eating the same macros kcals as before.
I'm taking it mainly to suppress my ravenous hunger, post-show, so I'm not seeing the hardcore appetite suppression others do, however I want to eat my meals still, just want to eliminate food noise, which i feel it is doing very well.
Yesterday, I got into work after being up for 3 hours and I realised "oh. I haven't had my first meal yet', wasn't hungry for it but I still ate it and didn't think much about food at all. Which is a huge improvement, considering the post-show cravings I was having.
My food is likely to go up in the coming weeks, after my holiday so I will keep at 2mg a week. Hoping however, that Reta keeps my hunger grounded when on holiday as my hotel is half board and has a lovely buffet breakfast!
EVO family is all about positivityThink I'm going to like posting here, you guys are all very positive and encouraging!
Reta update:
It's definitely working. Had meal 1 and hour later than usual because I had no hunger signalling to remind me to cook it!
Meal 1: 200ml egg whites, 2 large eggs, spinach, peppers, red onion, 1 light bagel
Ate it fine but was very full afterwards, and it's a small meal. My next meal is in half an hour and I'm not hungry at all. A week ago I was hungry immediately after eating!
Beautiful meal prep, this is how you become a championI'm off to Manchester tomorrow with work for a conference for 3 days, hotel has a free breakfast and work give us a £30 a day allowance, but I will be pocketing that...so here's my meal prep for the next 3 days! Chicken, cod, spinach all prepped, will buy some rice cakes, bananas, greek yogurt and cereal bars when I get there. Booked myself a hotel with a kitchenette so I'm covered
Manchester has some great gyms too so I'm looking forward to trying some out.

Still wrestling, albeit not as much. I'm 3 weeks post-show (bodybuilding) with roughly 3/4 months until my next show. So in a bit of limbo, until prep starts, fighting off the post-show hunger pangs and food noise! for which I have just introduced Retatrutide (Week 2, 2mg a week, split 1mg Sunday, 1 mg Wednesday)
Diet:
Currently circa:
2900 kcals (260p, 380c, 60f) TD
2600 (250p, 300c, 60f) kcals NTD
1 off plan meal a week, which again I tend to just have a Nandos with the wife, circa 1500kcals, instead of meal 6 fitting.
Foods: Egg, Egg whites, cod, chicken, beef, salmon, whey, almond butter
jasmine rice, cream of rice, oats, banana, bagels, honey, cereal, mango, pineapple
banana, green veg, peppers, onion
Supps : Whey, Berberine, EAAs, Creatine, Non-stim (pump) pre, Pre-workout
Vits: Supportmax, Multivit, Supplement needs Lipid Pro, L-Glutamine, Greens Powder, Omega 3s, Krill Oil, P5P, Zinc & Magnesium, Ashwagandha
Current Cycle:
200mg test e, 100mg primo
2mg Retatrutide a week
Bloods are due in July, I take my blood pressure every other day, along with heart rate and blood sugar.
Here's me the morning after stepping off stage, after 6 large brownies, 2 Easter eggs, fish and chips, cake and ice cream, looking the best I've looked
The fish and chips, I won't repeat in a hurry, greasy food does not appeal to me in the slightest anymore.
