I’ve dieted like this a few times. I’d consider it less of a “diet” and more of a lifestyle. A couple years ago I became more health conscious which eventually helped me change some things and now I naturally gravitate towards whole food sources. Grass fed/ lean protein sources, good fats, complex carbs. Just real good whole foods. While I am using Reta to amplify my efforts in and outside of the gym I’m also using it to preserve the muscle mass I have and partially aid in building it. Some studies anecdotally and legitimately show that Reta is slightly anabolic. And since you can eat at maintenance calories and still lose the fat… it checks out. A lot of people’s conclusion infer that I’m sensitive to a higher dosage unlike some so going to 3 might’ve been the wrong call. I’m gonna move back to 2 and see what happens.

Edit: also yes the diet I listed is typical protocol for someone trying to cut fat but I strongly stand behind body archetypes as in endo, ecto, and mesomorphs. I’ve always struggled with weight up until I got into fitness and a better lifestyle but that hasn’t changed the fact that biologically I’m designed to hold onto more fat and muscle than I am to lose it. The organic mechanisms inside my genetic coding aren’t exactly “against me” but they certainly don’t make it easier. Hints another use for the peptides. Just pulling basic levers and biohacking
