It might depend on what your goals are
When I started reta I downloaded an app called shotsy to track the dose and half life and make notes on how I was feeling
I tried it micro dosed ED, EOD, E3D.... and never got hungry. I wasn't eating. I got flat. Low exertion in my training. In the shotsy app my levels were always just above 2
I went to using 2mg/weekly, then upped to 4mg weekly and feel much better. I still had no appetite the first 4-5 days after a shot, but could eat more in the last 2 days
So I synced this with a carb cycling plan to match my training and it has worked well.
I'm not using it for weight loss. I was curious about the other benefits like insulin sensitivity, lipid panel improvements....
I started GH about 3 months after reta, and have had consistent BG and a1c. I can't prove its because of the reta, but I don't necessarily want to stop reta to find out.

All the microdosers think they're smarter than the biochemists that developed the drug which is intended to be taken once a week. I'm not that arrogant. I do weekly.
what seems to work the best for me is 2 times a week
Your resting heart rate increased due to the higher weekly load between days 7 and 5. Personally, I gradually increased my dose from 2.5mg e7d to 2.5mg e3d. Each reduction increased the effect. I’ve tried increasing the dose before but I didn’t tolerate it. So higher frequency is for me the way to go before increasing the dose.
You felt better on 4mg vs 2mg?
Will you be Micro og Weekly dosing in the future?
Based on my research I think the RHR going up because of the constant glucagon antagonizing

It's a combination of all the receptors being hit and increasing sympathetic tone. All GLP-1 s raise RHR. It's just more pronounced in reta because of the glucagon agonism which, by the way, is nearly immeasurable under 4 mg. Lilly stopped using 2 mg control groups because of this.
In short, the RHR increase is a feature not a bug. Higher RHR = increased energy demand = greater fat loss.

Yes, I feel better on 4mg. I don't think it was designed to be on 2mg for very long. Maybe just as a tolerability dose before going up.
I saw a theory somewhere recently that it doesn't start working on your glucagon receptors until 6mg. I'm going to go up to 6 on my next shot.
We don't know the balance of the drugs components, but seeing that theory made me realize it would be silly to think it worked equally on all 3 receptors at the same time and same dose. Maybe more ='s different effects.
I won't be micro dosing it in the future

Reta isn't sema
But it is interesting that using the oral every day created a worsened result vs weekly injection.
Why does every day work less?
Seems like daily isn't optimal for sema either. Having a daily pill for some people is a great option. But probably not for our interests here.
