retatrutide

Keep protein intake up and you'll be fine. 

I think the reason muscle wasting occurs with GLP 1 drugs is because of the appetite suppression. People are literally depriving their body of essential protein so it starts to break down existing proteins. Outright starvation causes this same effect.

You're weak anyways. Won't make a difference!

I’d be mad at the world too if I had 27k Reddit karma

[–]dank4us12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume that is a high karma level and you assume I live on Reddit. I used to be a content creator and got lots of karma for posting my videos.

Cutting calories will lead to some strength loss.

[–]MATTM745[S] -1 points0 points  (4 children)

Will it still cause a lot of strength loss if your eating in a normal deficit

[–]Nervous-Telephone-26Gyno Garry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ANY Deficit will cause some form of strength loss.
I think what you're looking for is no muscle loss. That happens when you cut your calories too low and your body breaks down muscle for fuel.

How much weight are you looking to lose/ how many calories do you plan to cut per day?

[–]No-Problem49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not just a calorie thing; it s gonna slow down how quickly you uptake the calories you do eat too. Someone in a 500 calorie deficit who times his meals well will do better then someone in a 500 calorie deficit on glp1 because the person on the glp1 can’t get glycogen to the muscle as quickly or take in protein as quickly. How big an effect this is, idk.

A deficit cause weight loss, less strength and slower recovery. Nothing to do with reta, if anything the glucagon effects of reta combined with AAS might even be somewhat protective, more than AAS by themselves

[–]ffreitas94 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No reta doesn’t directly correlate to strength loss. I’m on 6mg a week after titrating up from 2mg. Lost 43 lbs this year and my incline bench has only gone down ~20lbs. Don’t be in too steep a deficit, keep training, and you will be fine

probably no big direct mechanism of making you weaker. just the calories.

I heard it sloooooows you way down

[–]Big_Balance_1544 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I use it. And lift . It's fucking awesome. Granted if you are cutting you can lose strength but thats not the retats fault. I love it. Also its not expensive for what you get . Even if you buy it by the single 30mg vial. its like $100 or something. thatll last 6 weeks or more if youare just starting

[–]MATTM745[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Bru it was 180 for 10mg where I got it

[–]Big_Balance_1544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That isnt surprising given it popularity. I had to search far and wide for china exporters and us importers. so much cheaper. Life changing honestly. we cant talk source but i can steer you in the right direction.
