29 March 2026 Log Update
I’ve started training with my coach now, and that has already brought some structure back.
He has increased my calories to
1700 kcal, which is a big shift. I have been max consuming 1500 kcal until now. With
2 mg Reta, I was experiencing some hunger suppression. To manage that better and to be ableto consume my calories, I’ve split my dose into
1 mg twice a week instead of taking it all at once.
Reta & Food Aversion
Something interesting I’ve noticed recently is a
change in taste and food aversion.
I’ve been on Reta for almost
3 months, and this has only started happening now.
- I was fine with chicken, then suddenly couldn’t stand it for a few days
- I stopped eating it, and the aversion went away
- Switched to beef, which was fine initially
- Now I’m having aversion to beef, but I can eat chicken again
What’s even more confusing is that the aversion isn’t consistent. I had beef at a different restaurant and was completely fine.
Not sure if this is
Reta-related or just situational, but it’s definitely something I’ve noticed.
Training & Strength
Training is now
4x per week under my coach
On my off days I do 45 mins to an hour walk
Plus total 60 mins cardio in a week
We also did a
1:1 session, where he corrected my form, which made a big difference.
I’m actually starting to feel
stronger. The progress is subtle, but it’s there.
Previously, one of my limitations was that I used to feel a lot of strain in my hands.
My coach suggested better gloves, and that alone has improved my lifts.
Supplements (Updated)
I’ve made a few changes here:
I am still taking HER elite health stack and Vital sleep from
@RGSX as well as Magnesium Glycinate but my coach also made me add
- Karbolyn (25 g) during workouts
- Total Beets
- Electrolytes when I wake up
- Switched from protein water → amino acids + electrolytes + taurine as intra-workout
Strength is definitely improving. I think it's the combination of training, diet, supplements like HER elite health stack and good night sleep.
Maybe HGH is kicking in as well. Thanks
@RegenexPharma for HGH
Activity
I’ve been trying to hit
5,000–10,000 steps, but with work hours, it hasn’t been realistic.
I decided to get a
walking pad. I bought Everfit walking pad yesterday. It's still shipping. Lol I know I will be struggling to pull it in my apartment from the delievery area.
Any Volunteers to help me move it, would be welcomed with a nice protein ninja creamie ice-cream lol
Thanks
@Sheshredz to motivate me buy one
Also I get reaction on my wrist with smart watches so got this cheap Xiaomi step tracker and I wear it in my feet
will attach photos
Diet & Digestion
I’ve started experimenting with a
low FODMAP diet this week.
Today is actually
Day 1 of my period, and surprisingly, I feel quite snatched as compared to previous cycles. I usually start to feel bloated 3-4 days before my periodsso this time I implemented low FODMAP diet, basically eliminated garlic, onion, stone fruits.
Also sinceI have started reta from
@ZenithHealth last week, bloating is low as well
Normally, I would be extremely bloated around this time, so this is a noticeable change. I am feeling no bloating at all
Everything feels like it’s starting to align again. I am feeling stronger in the gym

Happy international women's Day Queen
15 months maybe, since that last breakup. Seems longer. It quickly became a full block everything situation. Not because of anything crazy, but just the way she kept picking her way back in from every angle. Okaaaay enough about that hahaha
.
when I looked in the mirror.
right Rose and so is Harley. We show how alpha we are though actions. Men do what they and say what they do…that is even if he need words
but not at the gym 
“Good” pathway (2-hydroxyestrone) → anti-inflammatory, less bloating, less estrogen dominance
“Bad” pathway (16-hydroxyestrone) → more inflammatory, linked to water retention, breast tenderness, PMS symptoms
DIM helps shift estrogen toward the “good” pathway and away from the “bad” one.
What that means for women
Less bloating (especially pre-period)
