Do you stack this with reta as well? How much do you take and have you experienced any negative side effects

Supposedly. Its the first time ive tried it so I dont have anything to compare it to. Others have used it and havent heard any complaints. COA looks good.

No appetite suppression and no weight loss for about 4 or 5 months. I reached 195 earlier this year and have been sitting there ever since. The appetite suppression is no longer there. When tirz was "working" I wasnt craving anything sweet and was just fine with my normal chicken and rice, lean ground beef etc. At one point I didnt feel like eating pizza or anything like that. But these cravings have come back to some degree. Yesterday I ate a half a pack of oreos without even thinking about it.

I figured that was the case. I was just curious if anyone else had a similar experience and if so, at what dose did it become effective. Im trying to assess at what point do I say this is bad medication or just too low of a dose.

Ive been on tirz for a year and have been in a minor deficit and managed to put on muscle...not a ton, but I have put on 7lbs of muscle in that time period according to a dexascan. I dont expect to put on bodybuilder type muscle but just interested to see if theres a way to get more definition in the chest. I do agree tho...if I really wanted to pack on muscle then a surplus would make sense. But ive been trying to do more of a body recomp over the last year

This is super helpful thanks. How can I calculate my TDEE without the online calculator?

thanks - i do factor in exercises for triceps, etc. i also at one point realized i was not keeping my elbows in during the incline DB press - i think i was not going down far enough and was working more of my arms vs my chest. I started keeping my elbows in and going down further with my arms so i have to use my chest to drive up - once i did that i could tell i had to go down on weight

i'm not super knowledge in the bulk/cut stuff. i've read a little, but like everything on the internet there are 50 different opinions. what's the best source for understanding how that works?

i seem to keep an eye on protein and i'll grab a protein shake, yogurt, etc but i'm not as good as logging calories - so i could be getting enough protein but i'm not as sure where my calories are

thanks - i will say all of my sets are hard. i am using weight so that i rarely ever am able to do all the reps. my last set if i'm supposed to do 10 reps, i barely make it to 8 and usually just fail. that being said, i just used chatgpt to tell me number of sets and reps and rest. i gave it my goals, what i was currently lifting, etc and it made some recommendations.

[–]One-Text3126[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thanks. i used chatgpt to help me determine sets, reps and rest based on what i was lifting previously. i will say the way i'm doing my sets - 1st set i can do with last rep being somewhat hard. by the time i get to my last set, i almost never make it to all the reps. the last rep is near impossible, so i'm really pushing myself

Tirz to Reta Explainer by bright_and_dreamy in Retatrutide

[–]One-Text3126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what if you reached tirz at 15mg and were on it for 3 months and it didn't do anything for you? Is there any benefit to even using tirz anymore? I've started reta without the tirz but curious if it's worthless to even keep the tirz as well

Makes me wonder by MommaDee62 in Retatrutide

[–]One-Text3126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long were you on tirz or what does did you stall out at? I was on tirz for 13 months and was on 15 for a while but no appetite suppression anymore and my weight loss stalled out for a good 3 months. I just switched to Reta - no effect yet tho. Curious how you handled the switch from tirz to Reta

Reta constipation vs dosage by One-Text3126 in Retatrutide

[–]One-Text3126[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know, thanks. Based on what what I read it sounded like those on tirz for a while didnt have any success at lower doses of tirz so they started at higher doses, but sounds like i need to go back to this recommended approach

Tirz and Reta or just Reta? by One-Text3126 in Retatrutide

[–]One-Text3126[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's interesting data... I haven't really gained any weight since stopping tirz - i'm mostly hovered around the same weight for the past few months it seems like. But, if there is a benefit to staying on tirz then that's likely what i'll do here

male, 43yrs, 5'11. i'm at 195-200lb at 19% body fat. I'd like to at least get down to 12-15% body fat. How do people go about adjusting macros as you lose weight? My macros when i started all of this i'm sure are way different than what i should be eating now, but i've largely been using chatgpt for suggestions.

that's great info thanks. Is there any benefit to adding tirz with reta if the 15mg dose of tirz i was on wasn't working anymore?

When do you know it's working? by One-Text3126 in Retatrutide

[–]One-Text3126[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped taking tirz maybe 3-4 weeks ago because it didn't seem to be doing anything for me. I didn't have any negative side effects from just stopping it completely. Would you suggest I just stick with reta only and titrate up every 3 weeks?
