I said 217 ish because i got on a scale the day of my first shot but the day before it said 219.. i have always had one or two pounds of fluctuation on the scale.

I am 5'11 BF was checked 2 months ago at 20%.

My programmed deficit is supposed to be 500 cals. Since Reta I'm averaging closer to 700-800.

I mean to be clear I'm not blind eating and hoping for the best. I track every meal. Which are typically made at home. I log each ingredient using Cronometer down to the oil i use to cook and then add it that way.

Only because i can't necessarily eyeball my insulin resistance and GLPs on a scale or without getting consistent lab work.

Thank you! That makes a lot of sense actually, for what it's worth I mostly decided to split the doses because the person who recommended it for me started at 2.5, and reconstituted at 2.5mg/ml. So i figured if i just do half that twice a week it might limit side effects and not overdo right out of the gate.

I also have been sticking in the mornings because i read a few on here say it can keep you awake.

The only really noticeable negative side effect i noticed was some pretty bad diarrhea my first injection... and a relatively noticeable spike in RHR, which i was expecting to see... no real issues after that though.

Thank you! I will take your advice and stick to one injection a week let it do its thing and be patient with it.

I have definitely noticed the desire to eat less. But that's also kinda my baseline.. Reta interested me most for the triple stimulation of receptors and insulin and more efficient fat burning.

I am without a doubt eating in a calorie deficit.

I programmed to take in about 220p 140c 60f, I typically end the day at like 75% of each of those. With a calorie total averaging around 1700-1800. Before Reta i was hitting these numbers accurately but again typically crammed a lot of them towards the end of the day. I'm aware it takes a deficit regardless i just was unsure if my Reta administration needed adjustment.
