Retatrutide effects

[Hyperwave]

What's up everyone,

Quick question about Retatrutide. I got mine from Nordic Fusion here in Canada and wanted to hear about others’ experiences. I’ve been feeling some mild effects — maybe it’s helping me maintain my weight but the results I’ve seen online and on YouTube seem way overhyped. Fat isn’t exactly “melting off” week by week.

At 1 mg, I didn’t notice much at all. Now I’m on my third week at 2 mg, and while it hasn’t completely suppressed my appetite like many claim, I do notice my midsection feeling a bit tighter. I also don't forget to eat like some claim...

Is this the kind of progress I should be expecting from RETA at this stage? Am I missing something should I be adding more cardio, or cutting out carbs completely? Any insights or personal experiences would be appreciated.

I am 38 male
5'7
154 lbs
I was hoping to crash to 147lbs on Reta before running an Test EQ cycle over the winter

Thanks

You don’t need to crush appetite. You’re only trying to lose a few pounds. Why are you cash dieting? The minute you stop you will rebound and may be in a worse place than now. Take it slow.
How long did you run 1mg?

 

[Hyperwave]

I am eating moderately not crash dieting. Just lowered the carbs like I usually do but I don't see any dramatic effects. I ran 1mg for 2 weeks.
I noticed a rebound at 1mg at day 4. Eating everything I found in the fridge. This doesn't happen on 2 mg

 

[OldSchoolRyan]

Here’s a short possible comment on Retatrutide effects:

“Really interesting stuff with Retatrutide — in the Phase 2 trial people lost up to ~24% of body weight over 48 weeks! (New England Journal of Medicine)
Side-effects seem mostly GI issues (nausea, diarrhea, vomiting) and dose-dependent, plus a slight increase in heart rate. (PubMed)
Definitely promising, but I’d want more long-term safety data before going all in. ”

To be fair, you used the words “crash to 147”

But we get it. The thing is, a pound of fat is 3500 calories and to lose that in a week requires a calorie deficit of 500 a day, but you also have to maintain your metabolism for that to fully apply. All reta can really do is help you fight the urge to eat. It can’t “melt fat off of you” like some potentially deadly drugs theoretically can.

So I wonder, are you tracking your food, body weight, and exercise? That’s what tells the story

Crash was your words.
You should be running in four week blocks. That’s means one mg per week for four weeks minimum. Ilits not magic and more is not better. I was able to run it for 10 weeks before going to 2mg.
Don’t try to rush it. All that will happen is you’ll mess up your digestion and lose muscle because your not eating properly.

 

[Hyperwave]

Thank you guys.

Appreciate the input. Sorry for the "Crash" confusion

welcome back to the EVO family @Hyperwave @Fusion Canada reta is legit nothing to worry about.
@BeMe @HarleyGuy @haldencapital @VerticallyChallenged @Bigswaz @Farmboy your fellow EVO Canadian Brothers will agree here.

That’s pretty normal, 2 mg of retatrutide isn’t a strong fat loss phase yet. Stay at 2 mg for 2 more weeks then move to 3 mg weekly if you’re tolerating it well, that’s where most users start noticing appetite and scale drops.

No need to cut all carbs, and I'm not even sure what carbs you need to cut as we know nothing about you!

You should start a log so we can track weekly updates, weight changes, and how you respond at each dose. It’ll help others running retatrutide too and keep you dialed in for that winter cycle. Without a log it's all guess work. takes 15min to do.

HOW-TO LOG?

Why is a Log Journal important?

• Doing a log will actually help you way more than just dropping random updates. When you lay it all out week by week you start to see patterns in your body that you won’t catch otherwise.
• Other guys here run logs all the time and there’s no privacy issue, nobody is asking for your name or anything personal, it is just training, diet, and how the compound feels.
• The feedback you get is also way better because people can follow along and spot things you might miss. It also helps the next guy who is thinking about running the same compound so you are giving back while you learn.
• Even if you think you might not stick with it, just starting the log makes it easier to come back and add quick notes. That way you get more out of what you are running instead of keeping it all in your head.

To really guide you we need more info from you:

• Please share your diet, training, cardio, sleep, supplements etc log with us in a NEW thread, full log journal so our guidance is based on facts you provide.
• It will take 15-20 minutes max.
• We have 100s of years of experience between us, so you need to post a LOG Journal with your stats (weight,height,age, years training, cycle history) diet, training, cardio, supplement, sleep details. If you don't log what you eat or train now, open NOTES on phone and start recording it there and paste here. Very easy.
• Please post a Log Journal asap for us

I can't really speak for reta myself as I'm on tirzepatide by script from my physician, but I've had nothing but great things Tirzepatide was instrumental in my 70lb loss and reta is supposed to be even better. What I can say is I had anavar from NF in the past and it was awesome and as said on here in the past even tasted better. I'd just throw the tab under my tongue and let it dissolve lol

let me stop you right there. 3 weeks on reta is like going on primo for 3 weeks or using deca for 3 weeks and complaining you didn't turn into ronnie coleman. you need to be on it a minimum of 3-4 months as it has a long half life. in reality 6-12 months is more ideal

 

[HarleyGuy]

Here’s a short possible comment on Retatrutide effects:

You took the words right out of my mouth. Retatrutide OVER TIME has the greatest loss of body fat and weight vs the other agonists like semaglutide and tirzepatide. I don't recall anyone ever logging on here any miraculous results inside of 6-8 weeks bro you're just jumping the gun. I can say from personal experience that Semaglutide did stunt my appetite more but that Retatrutide works better over time. And I found that out never having ran it as long as you're supposed to.


What I CAN tell you is to let that vial last because Nordic Fusion is the real deal and what you have in your hands IS Retatrutride. Reta will work with you as YOU work with your diet and exercise. It won't work FOR you as much as it will with you and it certainly won't tip the scales downwards in 3 weeks FOR you. You have to do that with hopefully some cardio but mostly a caloric deficit which becomes easier with Reta because yes it suppresses appetite but nothing on the planet will tell your brain that you don't need food except maybe boatloads of meth or crack over a long period of time. It will take away the food noise of wanting to binge and help stabilize your levels hence keeping you from feeling hungry as often as you would have but it's not DNP either which in 3 weeks yes you can lose 30 lbs but might die.

Don't waste your money. Keep using 1mg and give it weeks and weeks and watch slowly as you are mindful of eating whole foods, high protein, low carbs, less food, and personally I don't see the need to eat after dinner unless you workout late in the evening and wanna slam some protein in. Fast from dinner at 6pm until you wake up.... most people need that 9pm 'snack' (which is usually calorie dense processed garbage opened from a cardboard box or plastic bag of salty carbs) and THAT is what Reta will keep you from wanting. It might be sublte but it works if you work with it and give it time

Week 1-4 1mg
Week 5-12 2mg

Start a log and let us guide you and in 12 weeks just watch!

Haha you beat me to it I was typing this as you posted yours.

 

[stevesmi]

Haha you beat me to it I was typing this as you posted yours.

yeah people don't undertand how these GLP'1s were designed. 3 weeks he hasn't even come close to peak concentrations. all the studies have people using it minimum 6-9 months, some even for 2-4 years
if people want something shorter then use something like GW

 

[VerticallyChallenged]

I don't know about reta, but on tirzepatide, the curb in appetite should be felt within a week or two. Not sure if reta is the same at all. When my doc put me on mounjaro, within three weeks my appetite was tanked. Wish it stayed that way without having to increase lol. Thank God I don't pay for it

So agree... all of us on here have some degree of addict type behaviour or at least expectations so Reta is one of those possibly best drugs ever made so far that requires us to juuuuust fuuuucking wait and let it do it's job.

I want to add, that doesn't mean there will be some miracle weight loss in that time, but you should definitely feel way less hungry.

exactly needs time to build up. Reta is my favorite. Get amazing results from it.

Reta is king honestly, just let it do its thing it the backround over time. Good changes take time, fast changes dont last.

you need to take it for 16-20 weeks before you really see results. but you should start seeing appetite loss the first month

When my doc put me on mounjaro, within three weeks my appetite was tanked. Wish it stayed that way without having to increase lol. Thank God I don't pay for it

I am on the same as you. I am on Mounjaro for diabetes but it cured that within 90 days. I just got my A1C and I am 4.8. I was the same the food noise disappeared within the the first 2 weeks. Like you I wish it would stay. I been on it for over 2 years now. I start 12.5mg on Tuesday. Doc increased my prescription yesterday. I told him when I went to 7.5 to 10 I didn't even feel anything and was eating more junk I shouldn't be. My question is what do we do when we get to 15mg and can't go up anymore? I am thinking I will have to titrate back down and go on a micro dose for awhile to reset my tolerance. Only ideas I have. What do you think?

LOL
I am here. Sorry was travelling for work. On week 2 of Reta from Growthguys on 4mg.I feel it now. Appetite shutdown, I there up twice & lost 5 lbs so far.
Overall it's unpleasant but manageable hence I will drop the dose next week, the only reason why I am on 4mg is because I spent 6 weeks on Reta from NordicFusion between 1-3mg with minimal effects if any so I thought I decided to try 4mg.
I was out with work for lunch yesterday and had a sandwich..I was struggling.Sign to lower the dose.

 

[s.gentz]

The goal here is not to crush your appetite. The goal is to keep hunger lower as cals drop while on a sensible diet. Not a crash diet.
You have been using these products incorrectly from the start. Your statement above shows this. There is a dosing schedule to follow for a reason.
If it's taking you 4mg to "feel" it then your products are shit.

Agree 100%. I kept slowly increasing every 2-3 weeks since September. Only last week did I start feel effects. Therefore I believe it might be the source which is an approved source. I don't want to trash any source or anyone just sharing my experience
I can't confirm until dropping the dose next week.
Peace

 

[s.gentz]

I kept slowly increasing every 2-3 weeks since September.

This is not supposed to be how it is taken.
It's to be used in 4 week blocks with slow increases. Lat time i used it i ran it for 14 weeks at 1mg before i felt the need to go any higher.
Use the proper dosing protocols and you would not be having issues.
The only bad source is the one your currently using. @Nordic Fusion is solid. If you had used the products correctly there would have been no issue.

 

[Noob4gainz]

Month 2 here in Reta and just now hit 2mg a week. Timing also can account for how your results not sure if I missed how you are splitting it up. There is a few that say it has to be done once a week, personally I do it Monday, Wednesday, Friday. It took about 3 weeks to kick in for me but I stayed with the dosing .5mg up to my now 2mg and I will likely cap it at 2.5 and stay there for 2 more months then citrate back down to zero. As they stated before your dosing is all over the place you are at 3mg now so you will only have to go up from there when you could have likely finished there.

LOL
I am here. Sorry was travelling for work. On week 2 of Reta from Growthguys on 4mg.I feel it now. Appetite shutdown, I there up twice & lost 5 lbs so far.
Overall it's unpleasant but manageable hence I will drop the dose next week, the only reason why I am on 4mg is because I spent 6 weeks on Reta from NordicFusion between 1-3mg with minimal effects if any so I thought I decided to try 4mg.
I was out with work for lunch yesterday and had a sandwich..I was struggling.Sign to lower the dose.

Bro... here's a quote from a thread where I explain you can't just judge Reta based on 2 weeks when someone tried to say Canada Peptide's Reta was g2g after only 2 weeks. Also, 4mg to start is way too high and your dosing is all over the map as well. And before you judge Nordic Fusion's RETA read below because I can 100% say all of @Fusion Canada's gear is legit and accurately dosed.

Reta takes 4-8 weeks to fully saturate and start to give it's intended results that you can see and feel. Nausea and lack of appetite means nothing as it could be underdosed or simply be Semaglutide which is cheaper in UGL's so selling Sema marked up to the price of Reta is easy money. It takes about 5 half lives for a compound to build to a stable serum concentration in the blood and Reta's half life is about 6 days, so a minimum of 5 weeks needs to elapse before you can comment at all on a compound like Reta. Clinical studies have shown that between 24-48 weeks is when it's peak effects are reached as well. The peptides recommended on here (like Reta) that come from any of our approved sources have not only been tested and vouched for after 6 months (24 weeks) of use, not TWO WEEKS!

If you had bloods, a jano test, and your own anectodal reports about Test Suspension after two weeks that's one thing, but your science is way off to come on here about Reta after two weeks let alone vouch for the entire UGL that is Canada Peptides.

Come back in two months and let us know about Canada Peptides' Reta with Renpho scale results and a Jano test (you'll see a lot of us post all our dexa's and Renpho's in our logs). Canada Peptides should have unaltered and recent Jano tests anyway. Your science is way off to vouch for a peptide like Reta after 2 weeks..

And if you've been dosing since September as seen below and are seeing results now then that's how Reta works (reread above)

Agree 100%. I kept slowly increasing every 2-3 weeks since September. Only last week did I start feel effects

Thanks bro. Thanks for sharing all of this
My math is actually fucked. I have been dosing since September 12th.So more like 8-10 weeks.I love Nordic Fusion, they are 100% legit and I use them for everything else. I am just sharing my experience.
I will dial back the dosage and report back next week. I will look into logging my experience. I have the dates when I upped the dosage since September.

Thanks everyone

Don't look into it just start one bro it will give you unlimited opportunities to ask questions and let us tailer all your dosing specific to you including dialing in your diet and training and supps.

HOW and WHY TO LOG?

Why is a Log Journal important?
Accountability, pride, and consistency all which lead to RESULTS!

Authoring a log will actually help you way more than just dropping random updates. When you lay it all out week by week you start to see patterns in your body that you won’t catch otherwise.
Other guys here run logs all the time and there’s no privacy issue, nobody is asking for your name or anything personal, it is just training, diet, and how the compound feels.
The feedback you get is also way better because people can follow along and spot things you might miss. It also helps the next guy who is thinking about running the same compound so you are giving back while you learn.
Even if you think you might not stick with it, just starting the log makes it easier to come back and add quick notes. That way you get more out of what you are running instead of keeping it all in your head.

To really guide you we need more info from you:
Please share your diet, training, cardio, sleep, supplements etc log with us in a NEW thread using a full log journal so our guidance is based on facts you provide.
It will take 15-20 minutes max.
We have 100's of years of experience between us, so you need to post a LOG Journal with your stats (weight, height, age, years training, cycle history) diet, training, cardio, supplement, sleep details. If you don't log what you eat or train now, open NOTES on phone and start recording it there and paste here. Very easy.
Please post a Log Journal ASAP for us

There are almost a quarter million members on here and almost two million posts with over a thousand podcasts so your Log Journal will be taken care of here! Evolutionary.org is the most visited steroid community in the world (fact!).

   Do you still want to have kids? I recommend becoming as learned as possible on steroids in this order:
   
   
   
   1. PCT (after steroid usage how can you come off in a healthy way to get your natural test, hormones and HPTA back up and running)
   
   2. Diet/Supps (we must see you have this dialed in with the proper macros and calories and supplements)
   
   3. Training (we need to make sure you're training is consistent and proper)
   
   4. Steroids (then, if you trust this forum which you should, we will get you squared away for a proper cycle suited and tailored to you)

Not true, Harley hasn’t used good Reta to know.

Good Reta you will feel within the first couple of days.

Appetite drops, frequent bathroom visits, nauseous and that was how it felt for me on 1mg. Within the first week.

Me, my wife, my mom, my wife’s sisters and a few guys at the gym all have the same experience with growthguys reta. And yes the canadapep is g2g as the feeling continued once I switched to them.

Sorry to hear your Nordic was no good, but at least you got the good stuff now

Not everyone gets the same sides from a compound while common sides exist everyone is different in how they are affected or respond, seen it enough times to know with logs and other things along the way and my own experiences with compounds.

If we all responded the same we would all look the same genetically we are all different so we don't respond or look the same, some guys see great results on 300mg of a compound other people hate that compound and see very little from it, its a horse a piece really, all a gamble and oje big experiment of trial and error till u find what works for you.

 

[canadianpowerhouse]

Personally, I started at 1mg per day and my appetite was curbed pretty hard for about 3 weeks. I increased to 1.5mg which held me for another 2 weeks, and then I upped it to 2mg. 2mg seemed to be my sweetspot.

Omg this guy is here still @BCGains
Good retatrutide hits clean and nausea that intense across your whole circle means the product is fake because real retatrutide at 1mg does not act like poison. @HarleyGuy is right to call it out!
and claiming every person you know reacted the same way is lying because legit products do not produce that pattern.
Just drop it @BCGains we all know you rep for growth guys by now lol
