I definitely think there is some hidden magic with GH and Reta. Buddy is just over a week in and he went from good lifts and a strong recomp on Reta alone to looking like he’s blasting and mid cycle (he hasnt ran gear yet this was his first foray into any sort of PED beyond store bought preworkout).
What did you start with on Reta? Thinking of going low at .5 but might just start at 1
Wait wait wait.... I think you might've just solved a huge problem for me. I drink my 50g protein shake before heading to the gym and have to fight off passing out every time. Definitely looking into this. If some carbs help tomorrow I'll be thrilled. I've always eaten after the gym- not before.
Yup.

Maybe it's the quality or genetics reacts differently cause I took .1 and had immediate appetite suppression I'm only on .2 and have had amazing results
I definitely think a lot of it is genetics. I was getting good results at .5 my body just burned through the suppression super fast so I kept titrating up. I also wasn’t having negative sides so I kept pushing further.
Why not drop to 3 or 2.5? I’ve been titrating up by .5mg and 2.5mg is quite a bit more effective than 2. You might find 3 or 2.5 is good
I mean his diet could be on point for losing fat. My diet was anything but good when I was 240 at 30+% but it was on point throughout the cut down to 180
It could be a possibility a coin flip to decide since we don’t have anything else to go on. I guess my key point I should have touched on is if you aren’t severely overweight just diet the old fashioned way to see what your body does and reacts what works what doesn’t. Never going to know unless you try and unless you change habits idc what your on trace Reta etc you’ll just end uo getting it all back
Because honestly I’m already so close to my goal weight that how I look in the mirror is becoming more important than what the scale says. I’m 49 lbs down since January 1st so I’ve been dieting pretty hardcore for 4 months. Plan is to reverse diet until I find what my new maintenance calories are then run a smaller 300ish calorie deficit and shift to more of a recomp strategy. I’m starting TRT this week so I can’t wait to see myself in the mirror in another 4 months
True. I have always advocated making sure diet is where it needs to be before adding drugs but Reta has me sort of rethinking that approach. NOT saying to just take Reta and eat like shit. Can’t stand the shitfluencers posting how they eat ice cream and shit on Reta and still get shredded. But if it can help control the cravings so that you can more readily make healthy choices then I can forgive using it at a higher bodyfat. I mean it was designed for more obese folks and having struggled for a few months with cravings when I first dieted down I would have loved the lessened noise
That makes sense. I’m actually working up to 3 and going to see where it goes on 3mg of Reta and 2ius of GH. Seeing it do phenomenal things on a friend and we had similar results on the same doses of Reta (he’s 6 weeks ahead of me cuz I was being chicken shit over taking it LOL).
Most definitely. Reta is such a cheat code though. I’ve got my boss and another coworker on it because they saw my progress and wanted in on the action lol It won’t do all the work for you, but for someone like me who had an addictive relationship to food it helped me break the cycle of chasing the dopamine hit that eating like shit gave me
Yup. I was burnt out from dieting and was pretty good at just eating the same things everyday and ignoring cravings but having NO food cravings really helped rewire my brain for a lot of things. I think if people were making sure to make healthy changes it’s a great tool even to just START your fat loss phase. Especially in people who aren’t as dedicated to the gym. Hard to feel motivated when you’re already feeling like shit. And the time it can take to see real progress naturally can be the trigger that causes people to quit. I used to see it all the time at the gym
It’s been 90-95% strict for about 10-11 weeks. Was even fatter at about 26%. Used to sit around 12-18% for most of my adult life until I got a job that has an insane commute, which got me fat and lazy.
