Giant Semaglutide Thread (and other GLP-1 / GIP agonists)

The idea is of metabolism can be prevented from slowing as much as it would on a regular diet, you'll burn more calories just existing, which contributes to faster weight loss (and more energy than if metabolism was slowed more).

Reta was designed as an attempt to speed up metabolism and provide more weight loss faster than older GLPs.

I'm sure you've heard of people commenting on someone being thin due to a fast metabolism.
Ok that's helpful. Is this related to why people have increased RHR on Reta?
 
No. That's because when GLP-1 receptors on the vagus nerve are agonized, it partially blocks the feedback signals that normally slow heart rate down. Usually the system adjusts to this over time so for most using the pharma protocols (stable doses, once a week, for long periods of time) it's a temporary problem.

You think weekly dosing is best? Seems like you get a high peak and then it wears off towards the end of the week.

Do you think that following what was done in pharmaceutical trials that was done over years and proven to be both safe and effective over a large sample size, monitored by people more educated and smarter than me, is best?

Yes, I do think so and that's what I'm doing, abit higher dose then what was used but still.

(I also don't want to pin more than once lol)

Sure but pharmaceutical companies also have to consider what a common lazy patient will actually do. ie pin multiple times a week less likely to be compliant.

thinking "more stable is better" is dumb bodybuilder thinking of applying hormone logic to everything

also, if you are less hungry right after a shot and more hungry near the end of the week, that can help you cycle carbs or have refeeds, keeping your metabolism up.

but who knows seems like we have a huge influx of 500lb people who dont lift in here

Just for curiosity, why does nobody stack Tirz + Reta? I see people do Tirz + Sema, Reta + Sema, Tirz + Cagri, Reta + Cagri, Sema + Cagri, and various combinations with Mazdutide and Survotrutide. Why never Tirz + Reta? too much GIP agonism?

Reta is so strong in the GIP department already, I don’t see why anyone would do that.
 
Im swapping from sema to triz. Im currently taking 2.5mg of sema every week should i start off the tirzepatide on the lowest does of 2.5mg or can i start higher?

Higher. You're at max Sema per the pharma protocol. Tirz at 7.5mg is typically the starting point when moving over. You may not notice an increase in desired effects until you reach 10mg.

Nope not me, I'm down to 485!
 
Just shot my first tirz shot, 2.5mg at 3PM. It's now 8PM.

For those who felt already in the first shot, how long after the shot did you feel something? And what was it exactly?

Trying to be prepared for it if it comes.

I usually feel it the next day or two. Probably appetite will be affected tomorrow. Be patient don't take more you'll regret it.
 
Has anyone came off tirz/sema and had a large appetite increase and regained? Thats how it works right?

I ask because I gave some to a buddy and hes been a dick lately so hoping he blows back up after he goes through his vials.

Sema rebound 2-4 weeks after stopping is a motherfucker!

3 gallon tub of ice cream in the Walmart parking lot at 1am if he's not careful kind of sugar cravings type of insanity lol.

Hi all. I've been on glps for a while, but they don't seem to be doing much for me.
Currently on 20mg tirz, and I've been on it for at least a year, plus another year prior on Sema.

I initially lost about 10kg, but basically just stalled after.

Bought from QSC in the past, as well as SRY this time.

I get it that not every person responds the same, as well as upping the physical activity will help (just like with any attempt of losing weight)

Is there anything else i can try? Am i doing something wrong?
