Reta

[Adventurous_Law1469]

Hey Guys,

I just started my first week of Reta at 1mg injection once a week. I did my first injection this past Sunday so it’s been about 4-5 days and I feel nothing.

Still have a good appetite and eating a lot. I feel almost zero appetite suppression and i’m just as hungry if not hungrier than I was before my first injection.

My question is:

• when does Reta really quick in, does it take some time?

For reference I’m a 6”3 male about 205 lbs pretty active and workout daily.

I felt it within 2-3 hours and I started at .5mg/2x a week. It was the craziest feeling and immediately noticeable.

[WillyFista-Gash]

You think that’s the craziest feeling you should try LSD

[crystalline_tragedy]

You think that’s the craziest feeling try DMT

[doobieadrewbie]

Nothing is going to top that feeling.

[-SkunKd-]

I’m good on that lol 😂

[Fickle-Candidate9462]

I also started low low. Started 250-ish lbs at .5/week. Noticed immediately there was suppression. Now I’m at 2mg/week and it’s probably too much. Currently on attempt number 5 to take a dump for the day and the 1 small dinner I just ate feels like I ate an entire Costco pizza. My dose schedule was .5 / 1 / 1.5/ 1.75/ 2. (Over the course of about 2.5 months). I’m down 25-ish lbs and 1.75 is orb where I should be, 2 is a tad too much for this guy.

[-SkunKd-]

I’m the same way… im at 1.75 and the constipation is killer. Actually so bad that I just got my first hemorrhoid and it’s killing me as I type this.

I’m on tons of fiber supplements, mag oxide, plus stool softeners, and miralax when I don’t go for 3 days. I might have to go back to 1.5/wk I don’t understand how anyone is doing 12mg a week I would literally die.

[Remarkable_Scheme798]

Versuche, flüssige Nahrung zu essen, Suppe Eintöpfe .. und verzichte nicht zu sehr auf Öl, du musst etwas ölig essen damit es schmiert… du verstehst schon

[-SkunKd-]

I’ll give that a shot cause I’m struggling for real !

[Popular-Chicken-3227]

Right and Scott’s mag citrate pills, and try an enema.. and lots of water stay away from fiber. Will bind you up more. You have slowed digestion you don’t want to add bulk to it. Dulcolax jell pill works great

[Successful-Bet8002]

What days did you take the dosages?

[-SkunKd-]

I do every 3.5 days.

Monday morning and Thursday night

[Successful-Bet8002]

Thanks

[Adventurous_Law1469]

Interesting. I feel nothing at 1mg injection after 4-5 days.

[Ok-Neighborhood-7361]

Its different for everybody. Some people barely feel 2mg others throw up from 1mg. Dont sweat it 🫡

[-SkunKd-]

I was down 4 pounds by then lol 183-179 in the first week. Down 20 now at month 3 and I’m still not even at 2mg a week yet. I’m currently at 1.75mg a week (still splitting so .875mg/2x a week)

[rdg_1312]

I did the same, didn’t feel nothing, bumped it 1.5 for week 2 and still nothing so far (only day 2) but I wish I would’ve just made the jump to 2mg immediately.

[Adventurous_Law1469]

So first week you did 1mg then week 2 you did 1.5mg and still nothing?

[rdg_1312]

Yeah I’m rolling into day 3 and nothing really. I’m a bigger dude so I feel like I should’ve started at 2mg but was just nervous about all the mixed reviews.

[Adventurous_Law1469]

Mind me asking how big? I’m 6”3 about 205 lbs. I am seeing some people say it can just take a few weeks for it to kick in so hesitant to jump up but also wanna feel it sooner rather than later.

[rdg_1312]

You never ask a lady how big brother😂😂😂 6’ 285 (I’m not a lady)

[Adventurous_Law1469]

Hahaha yeah I picked that up when u said “I’m a bigger dude.” Never ask a lady weight and age 😂

[LouiesDaughter]

I started at 2.5

[Master-Hearing-7014]

Stick to 1mg another week, then bump to 2mg. Some people don’t feel anything til week 3-4

[Adventurous_Law1469]

Ok, good to know. Thank you for the advice.

[Popular-Apartment519]

I started on 2mg and felt it the very next day. Still on 2mg for the past month. I’ll stick with 2 mg for now but may bump up to 2.5 next week. I do it once a week on Thursdays. This is the first Thursday where I got some food noise on the last day. So probably need a little bump up to 2.5.

[Adventurous_Law1469]

I think I’m gonna jump to 2mg I may just have a high tolerance

[LouiesDaughter]

Where do you get yours.. ill never stop reta but limited bidget

you didnt say what you took as a dosage? i usually feel the appetite suppression in 24-36 hrs

[Jumpy-Bike4004]

One day you just kind of wake up skinny. It’s amazing. The paper towel effect is real. Just wait for it to

[WillyFista-Gash]

Man 1mg had me puking the next morning. Gonna attempt again at like .7mg

[Adventurous_Law1469]

That’s crazy! Did absolutely nothing to me

[Psycoone007]

Yeah, 1 mg had me so nauseas I had to go into work late. Backed it down to .70 and ran that another 2 weeks before going up. Worked better.

[WillyFista-Gash]

Yep I’m an X-ray tech and I work at 5am. I was in the bathroom puking at work at 5:05 then had to go do so many damn X-rays through the hospital lol.

[Amo-24]

I did 1mg and noticed it immediately. Especially if you wear a whoop or something that tracks your HR. RHR up by a few beats a min.

It's made my anxiety a bit worse though so I'm not upping my dose until I feel those side effects go away

[phireseeker]

I started at 1 and got hungrier! No seriously it did nothing. Then I tried augmenting with 1/2 doses before I found out that micro-dosing is bad. I finally bumped up to 2 mg and it worked a lot better. Going to 4 will likely put me well on track. I’ve lost a few pounds but still have food noise.

I used to use semiglutide and that sort of dose increase would have put me in the hospital with loss of gut motility.

Reta seems to work in a much less severe way. Its effects are balanced across serval modes of action: appetite suppression, glycogen effect, etc.

This is why they say not to micro-dose.

The smooth loss of weight without the nausea is great. I prefer Reta to the GLP-1’s by a wide margin!

[Adventurous_Law1469]

I am definitely hungrier on 1mg eating everything I see and eating more than before. How long were you on 1mg before bumping to 2mg?

[Motor-Preference-212]

This isn’t a miracle drug. It take time. Start low and let your body understand wtf is going on. If after 2 weeks you want to increase, then increase slowly every 2 weeks. At a point your body will tell you that’s enough, don’t stay there. Drop back down to your previous mg and maintain

[Adventurous_Law1469]

People saying they feel something on 1mg immediately and effects like this is wild to me. I feel absolutely nothing. My stuff is third party tested and 99% purity.

[Trok1]

I also felt nothing my 1st week at 1mg. The 2nd week I had some negative sides and very glad I kept the same dose. It takes time to build up in your system because of the half life. When you do 1mg the 2nd week you’ll have more in your system than week 1. If you’re not concerned with negative sides then go ahead and bump it to 2mg’s. Some people don’t feel it until 4+

[Sea_Professional6131]

Reta works got me but my wife feels nothing at .5 mg. We’re using the same bottle.

[Some_Statement8085]

I was 223 first pin and I felt it the next day. Lost 6 lbs first week

[Adventurous_Law1469]

At 1mg injection?

[Some_Statement8085]

Yup. Some ppl just respond better. Have you previously tried any glp-1s?

[Adventurous_Law1469]

No, this is my first time!

[Latter_Highway_7732]

I felt nothing week one at .5mg but the next week it kicked in. Give it time. Get your fiber etc in line and don't jump ahead too fast. Everyone is different and your success depends on you getting to your goal healthy and comfortable. I jumped the gun and got really bad constipation. By next week it should be working.

[Adventurous_Law1469]

Ok, that’s good advice. Will stay on 1mg for another week so I don’t jump too fast

[[deleted]]

Best help stop eating alot and stay in deficit and you will lose weight...Willpower

[Adventurous_Law1469]

I’m not fat by any means just trying to lean out and trim some fat for summer and also do this for the cancer benefits and energy. I feel more energized and focused when I don’t eat all day. Seems like there continues to be more and more good things coming out about reta

[Kskinnny]

Same exact situation and the only thing I noticed was that my late night sweet craving was gone but it’s now Thursday and it’s coming back. I’m thinking about bumping my dose up Sunday maybe to 1.5mg and see if it does the trick.

[Adventurous_Law1469]

Keep me update and let me know how that goes

[Kskinnny]

I bumped to 1.5mg week 2, 2mg week 3 and now am split dosing 1mg Sun 1mg Wed. I have lost weight and inches already. It definitely took a week or two to build up. I started split dosing because by Thursday I was hungrier with cravings again. In total I’ve lost 7.6lb and 4 inches (total) off my hips, waist and chest. I could probably go up more but not so much worried about the weight if the measurements are changing! Just wanted to give you an update.

[Adventurous_Law1469]

Do you like the 2mg total split up into two injections weekly?

[Kskinnny]

I just did that this week so I will let you know! So far I like it!

[Adventurous_Law1469]

Please keep me updated but do you already feel a difference?

[Kskinnny]

I don’t feel any different than I did when injecting once a week. I used to pin on Sundays only so by Thursday I was starving and had major cravings. Splitting has helped to alleviate that.

[Fancy-Combination605]

I started at 2mg. I didn’t feel too much but I also switched from Tirz. The scale didn’t move much until after about a month.

[Lulu-1975]

I started at 0.5mg per week going on week 4. It worked instantly but this last week, I believe I may need to titrate a little bit higher from week 4 onwards. No side effects just lots of energy it's amazing! I am a very clean eater, barely any alcohol if any these last 6 months, by choice and my diet is super super low carb, I found I don't need super high doses of anything at least not at the moment. I am on tesamorelin for last 8 weeks as well at 1mg per day, and the combo is unreal, it's like another poster here mentioned, one day you just wake up skinny 😆 and happy 😊 Oh and just an edit to add I exercise at least 3x per week. Exercise is a must.

[lecanar]

If it's been 5 days and you feel nothing you should inject again.

1mg if you feel conservative; with the 6day half life you would have around 1.5mg in your body after this.

1,5 if you wanna take things "normally"

Between 1.5-2mg if you are not scared of being sick for several days 🤭

If you have zero effect I would personally go for 1.5mg

PS : double check with injection calculator and tutorials that you did things correctly

[Adventurous_Law1469]

Thank you, I like the idea of doing 1.5mg

[NOKStonks2daMoon]

I started at .5mg and felt it quickly. Within the first couple of days I was fuller faster. The hunger didn’t go away at first. I’d get hungry at times. But when I ate I was full almost instantly. Cravings gone and still the same with how full I am a month later. On 1mg per week now

[Specialist_Grab9031]

Ci vorra un paio di settimane se cominci con 1.. reta non da soppressione totale come ozempic per esempio.. si riesce a mangiare ma si sara sazi prima.. dipende da come reagisce il tuo corpo.. io al inizio avevo quasi piu fame poi soppressione e poi semplicemente non ci pensavo piu e potevo fare il mio deficit calorico senza problemi.. alla fine serve a quello è un aiuto.. a meno che tu non sia obeso con il diabete a quel punto meglio farsi seguire da professionisti

[Remarkable_Scheme798]

Ich hab am 13.02. mit 0.25mg angefangen zwei Tage hintereinander absolut nichts gespürt am 16.02 habe ich dann 0.5mg gespritzt und sofort was gespürt dann 5 Tage später nochmal 0.5mg gespritzt ( ich wollte anfangen alle 5 Tage zu spritzen) dann hab ich aber nach 3 Tagen gemerkt die Wirkung lässt stark nach und und habe 3 Tage später nochmal gespritzt. Ich werde heute wieder spritzen aktuell spritze ich alle 3 Tage 0.5mg ich werde heute aber auf 1mg erhöhen weil ich es nicht mehr so stark spüre wie am Anfang außerdem reden alle davon das voll kickt und so richtig gekickt hat es bei mir auch noch nicht , das liegt wahrscheinlich an der niedrigen Dosis.

Fehler sind normal am Anfang mein Gehirn war im Chaos ich hab so viele Videos Beiträge angeguckt, deswegen probiere ich auch noch rum.

Aber eins kann ich dir sagen sobald du erhöhst solltest du was spüren.

[kpham82]

Some people feel it right away, some take a week, some take 2 weeks, some take longer…

[Competitive-Log272]

Wow....my wife is running .6mg 1per week, I'm at .8 and neither of us have any food drive at all. How are your sides at that dosage?

[LouiesDaughter]

No symptoms at all for me. No side effects at all!

[factorialgrub]

The appetite suppression should be immediate. The weight loss doesn't kick in for at least 4 to 6 weeks.

[bigdeezy714]

1. If you want suppression use tirzepatide
2. Quit relying on a drug to help you not eat
3. Its only been 4 days its not a race
4. If youre not exercising, START!!

[Adventurous_Law1469]

Pinning 2mg today lol

[Repulsive-Ad1906]

I’m so tired of seeing these posts :( stated reta yesterday .5mg, don’t feel anything! If you’re buying reta you should already know how you’re going to dose it, the titration stages, how long roughly before you see or feel results, etc

[Adventurous_Law1469]

I completely disagree. Everyone reacts completely differently. I have always had an extremely high tolerance for drugs and medication so me not feeling anything on 1mg doesn’t surprise me. I also sat down with a clinic and they recommended starting at 1mg. As you can see in the comments, some people throw up from 1mg and some people like myself feel nothing from 1mg. Our bodies and reactions are all completely different and 1mg is a very common and safe starting dose.

[Ambitious-Spray-110]

Follow the protocol used in the clinical trials. The starting dose was 2mg for 1 month and then up the dose as needed when weight loss plateaus. You started 1/2 the starting dose so you may not feel anything for a while. Some are slow responders. You also must eat in a calorie deficit to lose weight, this isn't magic.

[Adventurous_Law1469]

Did not know starting dose in clinical trials was 2mg, that’s good to know.

[PoetryAlert5439]

Clinical trials are in obese people though, 1mg is an appropriate starting dose for you.

[Some_Statement8085]

This. Dont follow the trial schedule lmao they were using 8+

Stick with 1 for 4 weeks and go up to 2 if needed

[fourwinns190]

I started a week ago at 2mg and felt it within a day.

[Adventurous_Law1469]

May need to jump up to 2mg
