GLP-1's 4 LIFE!!

[Bathman316]

All valid points thank you. Not a fad, was always in shape until 38 and then had 1-2 surgery's a year for 3 years in a row. No excuses. Got back on the train. I was hoping Reta would help peel me down more but only shitty side effects.

Hey, I jumped on the Reta train too when it came out, not for weight loss but for the metabolic shift in glucose levels but that shit hit me so hard on the 1st shot (2mg) that I skipped 3 meals and couldn't finish my scrambled eggs for supper ( This is a treat for me.. I love eggs!) And I could only eat half.
I felt like shit all day after the shot, heart rate increased a little and my normal shit time had long passed.
Woke up the next morning with major stomach distention and full blown
constipation...didn't want to eat, or even drink. The distention and not being able to shit pissed me off so bad I went and got some MOM and double dosed it..... Finally after 2 hrs I shit out a fuckin baby ox. My asshole had never been stretched that badly before.
Good fuckin' thing I have a good septic and a good plunger, I thought for sure I was going to have to call someone to snake out the pipes.

Fuck Reta.......

Again if your obese and cant stop eating..... by all means I wont try to steer you clear of GLP-1's.. If your able bodied, there's no excuses.

my experience with GLP-1 was pretty much the same. I tried pharma grade dulaglutide a couple years ago. I did two shots and knew it wasn't for me, does not agree with my digestion. was like a damn roadblock. even after only those two doses it took a month before my gut was moving normally. These drugs just are not a good fit for everyone.

Same damn thing for me..... I dropped my dose to .5 the 2nd week but I couldn't take it any longer.... took just about a full month to get my gut right again.

Yeah, it’s something how it varies from one person to another how people react to it. I’ve gone as high as 6 mg and haven’t had those kind of reactions and that’s from three different vendors here, all reacting same with me. Only time I had a problem was when I got impatient and went up to fast.

I would also come out and say this.... I hate Metformin with a fuckin passion, but would rather people run it for glucose control over GLP-1's

 

[Bathman316]

It's good to know I'm not the only one. Appreciate the feedback. Funny story @Bolan #streched lmao

I guess I could clarify further. The “R&D” arm of big pharma has come out with some amazing products. No question. My issue is with the “sales and marketing” arm of big pharma.
Take Reta for example. Studies showing 1mg throughout a 48 week study having moderate, very acceptable, weight loss. 2mg showed more, 4mg even more, 8, and 12mg greater still. The fat loss increases, but not at the same rate as the increase in dosage. It doesn’t double, triple etc as the dose does. Why push 12, when 1 will work? $$$$$$$ that’s the side “R&D” has no say over. I get the science, but I’m not taking suggestions on dosing from the advertisers whose sole job is to maximize profits.

Agree, profits and greed def play a huge role in some unnecessary pushing of higher doses.

Pharma does try to get every penny out their approved drugs before the generics are legally allowed to be produced.

We are the only country that lets pharma advertise on TV. Some of those ads are just comical IMO.

Its good you are looking at the studies and looking at more than just the overall conclusion. You can see the results and see at what point a compound seems to work.

The best test of course is trying for yourself and I agree in most areas that you go with the lowest effective dose and you stay there if you are getting the desired results you set as your goal.

The GLP's are a Godsend for obese people who will NEVER make the decision to lose weight, workout or take there health seriously. Just looking at it from a selfish standpoint. We are in an obesity epidemic in which obesity is the driving factor cause issues related to outrageous health care costs. Lose weight and 99/100 times health markers improve which means less illness, disease, doctor visits, meds, etc.

I've mostly moved away from using it with bodybuilders for reasons I've already posted. Food noise? You are a f'ing bodybuilder or physique athlete.

I also would say for those who haven't tried metformin yet, go with extended release or you may just find yourself shitting down your leg during your business presentation.

Of course you can do that too with GLP1s if you start off with stupid doses. Also try alli for weight loss, you'll literally shit off the pounds.

My brothers like anything else. I know people with High blood pressure on medication still taking lots of salt, no exercise, high cholesterol on medication but still eating bad, type II diabetic but still eating sugar and cookies but taking pills. Everyone is relying on the medication to fix the underlying issue which always comes down to poor eating habits.

My experience coming off reta is different - it seems to have permanently dampened my appetite and food noise. If my natural appetite is otherwise a 10, after reta it’s a 6. It’s still there, it’s just not what it used to be. That dopamine drive has been turned down, which for me is a good thing.

Separate from that, I have AuDHD and when I’m on reta, all my ADHD symptoms are either gone or turned down to a level where it’s not an issue. It’s worked better than any medication. Tirzepatide works for it too, but reta works better.

How does this help adhd? Being clean and sober unfortunately means I cannot/will not take any of the "effective" adhd meds. Id love another solution thats not amphetamine based.

Did you lose a lot of body fat on Reta/diet? Significant bf reduction should have a resetting effect on leptin signaling to the brain, separate from Reta/glps.

If you can make things easier for yourself, why not utilise it?

For me it has been a miracle really in how it has completely turned off my cravings. When I came to this forum a few months ago you questioned my choices regarding cheat days (valid) and I can say for a fact that I would struggle very much without using retatrutide. I've prepped in the past without it but why put myself through the misery when it can be so helpful. I will always recommend it.

100% I have no problem people using anything. My point is the negatives outweigh the positives in certain aspects which I personally choose not to use unless necessary.

Glad it works for you!

 

[Bigjape34]

So far from Personal experience and I’m only running 1.5mg Reta a week split into 2 shots hasn’t done shit to my appetite has helped blood sugar and I’m eating a lot of food.

So when you come off GLP's will you start smoking stogies again?
Or is it GLP-1's 4 LIFE!

General comment, not to someone specific. GLPs do not change your mind, your body or build healthy habits for you. When GLP clears from your body, you will go back to your old habits cause your chemistry is back to before GLP. Unless you can purchase will power you will gain weight back, this is not interpretation but facts - ask me how I know

 

[Bathman316]

Great feed, really appreciate all the input. I think it teaches us all that every compound isn't for everybody. Reta isn't for me. I'll stick to AAS all day.
