Yea so considering how many people have reported no appetite control with retatrutide while cutting weight drastically by what mechanism would that happen? Personally only now joining the hype train ironically thanks to Chase Irons particularly interested by the gut health, blood sugar changes etc. but recomposition is welcome, people experienced with the 3 what would you say the main benefit is to retatrutide?
I've been on 12 for a couple months now.
Took about 6 weeks to kick in...and when it does, it kicks in hard. I haven't been hungry on Reta since second week of 4 mg.
I wear a CGM now bc I went hypoglycemic when on Ozempic originally earlier this year (<30 glucose).
Context for rest of post: 1200 calories per day max, high protein low carb diet, supplementing with multivitamins, blood tests every few weeks to confirm everything is going perfectly.
Semaglutide experience: okay, hunger would come back end of every week, insane constipation + burping + acid reflux. HRV absolutely tanked, but stayed on it until hitting 1.7. Lost ~1/ lbs per week. Fatigued like crazy.
Tirzepatide: great, burping continued, but other side effects were mildly existent...laxatives + electrolytes made everything better. Titrated up to 10 mg, was losing 1.5 lbs/week.
Retatrutide: excellent, all side effects have gone away aside from burping. I do wake up middle of the night needing to chug water and am needing to drink electrolytes multiple times per day. On 12 mg dose, losing ~3.5 lbs/week. I am 20 lbs from my goal weight right now and normal weight range, losing weight hasn't slowed though.
Fatigued lasted a couple weeks on Reta, until I started to eat way more protein.
