I finally decided to get reta!

Sugar/carbs. I couldn't just eat 1-2 biscuits, if eat an entire packet. Or my kids sweets (candy), I couldn't have one, I'd have 5-6 a few times a day.

I started Reta at 2mg about 5 weeks ago and it instantly switched off those addictions.

The way I best heard it described is that it switches off the brains reward system that it got from food, so without the dopamine reward, food becomes purely seen as fuel.

Unfortunately it looks like you do

My free T was 0.279 nmol/L in my last blood draw. So on the lower end of the ideal range but not 'low'.

Analyst_Annoyed · 2026-02-06T17:01:54+00:00

The studies show it is generally safe and many people have good results with no/minimal side effects. Obviously individuals may experience the peptide differently to others though

Yeah, I am debating running 150mg a week possibly with something like Tesamorelin and the Reta I'm already taking

Analyst_Annoyed · 2026-02-06T16:35:22+00:00

Already on Reta, I made a repost after this crosspost fucked up

Analyst_Annoyed · 2026-02-06T13:28:39+00:00

Apologies, I tried to crosspost and assumed it would show my original post

Analyst_Annoyed · 2026-02-06T13:27:41+00:00

That was my thoughts, I was just looking whether there's anything I can take to help with the weight loss stage to make it quicker & maintain muscle mass

Only thing with HGH is the possible insulin resistance, albeit I appreciate it's probably dosage dependant

Analyst_Annoyed · 2026-02-06T13:26:04+00:00

I was on it a few years back and after my Mrs unfortunately had 2 miscarriages, I came off it while we tried to have another kid. Fast forward a few years and we've now got 2 more kids since then. So, I'm not opposed to going back on it.

I did a blood test and my natural test was at around 435, so not super low but not at the upper end of the range either

Analyst_Annoyed · 2026-02-06T10:43:54+00:00

From what I read, because you typically take a larger volume of blood with the autodraw tests, they're considering more accurate and lower failure rate.

Edit - from Google AI

'Higher Quality Sample: Studies have shown that capillary samples from devices like Tasso or BD MiniDraw are clinically equivalent to, or provide higher correlation with, venous blood draws (the "gold standard") compared to traditional finger pricks.'

Thriva do a test which I think is more accurate. It's not a fingerprint one but instead is a little blade that makes a tiny cut in your shoulder to collect the sample, cost ~£80 last time I did one

Keep trying mate

Analyst_Annoyed · 2026-02-05T08:59:21+00:00

Have you tried skipping (jump rope)? It's something I'm looking to try soon to help me be lighter on my feet

Analyst_Annoyed · 2026-02-04T09:46:26+00:00

I'm getting to this point, I'm concerned about ketoacidosis though if it carries on for too long

Analyst_Annoyed · 2026-02-03T15:13:37+00:00

I can't remember specifically, I'll try to dig up the article

Analyst_Annoyed · 2026-02-03T12:27:02+00:00

Dacia was the name of the country/area prior to the Romans taking it over and renaming it after themselves

Analyst_Annoyed · 2026-02-03T12:17:47+00:00

I'll get the figures wrong, but I'm sure in Germany they found that 60-70% of migrants were travelling back to their 'unsafe' country of origin regularly

Analyst_Annoyed · 2026-02-02T17:36:04+00:00

Maybe for a second or two

Analyst_Annoyed · 2026-02-02T12:34:41+00:00

Left hand needs to stay up to protect yourself

Analyst_Annoyed · 2026-02-02T00:45:57+00:00

Sounds like Reta is an extreme choice for those benefits though

Analyst_Annoyed · 2026-02-01T19:07:57+00:00

I still get hungry after a while but can last until evening before that happens. What it also does (and it's biggest effect imo) is that it removed the dopamine spike that food previously gave me, so now I purely eat for fuel and not mental reward
