5 weeks into retatrutide

[thedon966]

Just wanted to give my retatrutide experience, this is my current dosing:

week 1: 2mg
week 2: 2mg
week 3: 3.5mg
week 4: 4mg
week 5: 4mg

first two weeks didn't notice a single thing still binged for 3 days lol
week 3 still didn't notice anything major but I didn't binge I still could binge if I really wanted to
week 4 is when I had one day of really bad bloating that lasted for a half a day and went away. I believe I did start noticing an appetite suppression but I could still cheat but the desire to binge or eat out wasn't totally there.
week 5 I don't really have a desire to eat junk and have been sticking to a diet pretty well. No bloating.

while taking reta I've also been tracking blood sugar via cgm and even when I did cheat, my blood sugar never got above 120(and your boy ate). Could be because I'm post show but even week 3-4 with high carb meals It NEVER goes over 120. I'm eating more food now in my diet and the highest it gets to now is 109-111 at peak spike and quickly goes down within minutes. I'd say I need to run reta a little longer to make a final answer and maybe even up the dose but I'll keep this thread updated.

I don't know if it's the reta but I have never looked that full consuming so little carbs. Love it.

I keep forgetting to drink enough water though. It seems to affect thirst.

I've always been bad at drinking water, so I can't tell lol

Are you also tracking your weight?

Just a little update, gonna be switching dose to 1mg ed, I'm not really getting the appetite supression I want so I might even add a small amount amount of semaglutide as well. Haven't felt sick or anything from reta so we'll see how it goes lol.

Yes I'm still gaining weight probably 1-2lbs per week.

All GLP drugs do that for me, i struggle to get water in which has never been an issue for me before

Slower gastric emptying extracts more
nutrients from the food you're eating.

That isn’t the case since bile production is reduced so food can not be broken down to be absorbed.

I just always thought that slower gastric emptying = just slow absorption rate not necessarily faster or not at all.

That is one of the main mechanism of glp1 to lower blood sugar. Lower gastric emptying and reduced bile production

It doesn't reduce bile production, it speeds reabsorption from the intestines to the bloodstream, lowering spillover to the colon.

In any case, bile facilitates lipid absorption, not carbohydrates. The slower gastrointestinal motility allows for greater absorption, of, at the least, non-fat nutrients.

I read on reddit where the best secret protocol is 250 mcg four times a day.

Yes, frequency of exposure is the best way to get the most out of a peptide! "Stacking" them. especially in the same syringe, will help grow unusual aggregates, and "keep your immune system on its toes"!

Reta doesn't usually suppress appetite as much as other glps, especially at lower doses.

Recommended to stick to a weekly schedule and just keep titrating up to the next dose level.
