40 and can’t lose weight!

[ShinyDiscoBallz]

I was wondering what took so long for someone to mention that his doctor mentioned Reta. Cool doctor, he’s with the times, but not FDA approved and definitely not gonna get it from doc. Reta is great though, speaking from persona experience. Although I was’t anywhere near 300lbs. I used it as a start to a recomp.

I start reta on Monday

What was your dosing protocol?

What was your dosing protocol?

I started low and slow. Went with 1mg (split .5mg) 2x week for 3 weeks then went up to 2 mg (split) , and kept titrating up every few weeks. I never went above 6mg. Dropped 25 pounds rather quickly.

What was your dosing protocol?

I started out .5mg every 3 days. After 3 weeks moved to .5mg m/w/f(1.5mg total). Ran that for 4 weeks, then bumped up to 1mg m/w/f(3 mg total). I started 8/4 at 255lbs, this morning 216lbs 11/8. I took the low and slow approach with constant caloric cuts. Currently consuming 1700 cals a day. Also on trt of 140mg weekly injected with 2iu hgh at night. Game changing stack for us 40 and up! Also morning fasted cardio and a 20-30 minute walk after my last meal every day.

Make sure to drink a lot of water and take in enough fiber, either through supplements or diet, your “movements” will be few and far between otherwise.

Ok gotcha. Wasn't sure if it was your first time on a GLP, as it was mine. So if you are familiar with the much slower digestion and quieting of food noise and you are handling it well, then you should be fine. Just make sure that whatever dosage you are finishing up on Mounjaro, is NOT the same dosage you should start with Reta. Have you gotten your Reta tested for mass so you know how to recon properly? I've had 10mg Reta come back as high as 14mg, just so you know how to dose properly.
Good luck!

I went all the way up to 15mg of MJ and my last dose was 7.5mg

I'll start on 2mg and see how I get on but I'll probably be up to 4mg pretty quickly

Get on trt and control your calories, lift heavy and often, liss too. If you are still stalled maybe try to eat at maintenance for a good while and get real busy weightlifting to fire up your metabolism, then try cutting again once you see your maintenance number turning into slow fat loss and recomp.

I was 355 at my fattest and used trt and myfitnesspal to give me energy, motivation, gym results, fat loss. Only went to a higher cruise after I’d lost about 100lbs fat and gained 20lbs lean mass (2-3 years of disciplined effort)

Lots of people here spending time typing to try and help you out- some good stuff too. Best of luck to ya

FFS. Tens of thousands of people successfully lost substantial weight, and kept it off for years, by using Sema or Tirz according to the basic pharma protocol.

Here we have the most effective solution for durable weight loss and significant improvement to every aspect of health, basically as close to miracle drugs as was ever discovered, and you want to reinvent the wheel by jumping on then off a GLP and expecting that to work.

Get on one of the fucking GLPs. Titrate up according to the pharma protocol, and discard the notion you have that they're diet pills and not hormones that boost the level of what you're lacking, like insulin for a diabetic, and can be stopped without your dysfunctional appetite causing you to regain the weight sooner or later,

You're already in a great position because you know the importance of protein and resistance training. Just get your metabolic hormone deficiency corrected with a GLP, silencing the "food noise" so your conscious mind will be in charge of what you eat, and you'll be good to go.

i’m only days into my first time using glps since the release of sema years back, and i went with reta. well i can say that you were spot on with the “food noise” aspect of it. looking back, i remember thinking it was so weird to see someone had said they were willing to stay on glps for life, but now i understand it!
