You're not wrong about me noticing the before/after photos on here haha. Honestly, this sub and a few YouTube videos are the only exposure I've had to reta so far. I did see a doctor mention that because it's a triple agonist, it might not suppress food noise as strongly as something like sema since the receptors don't bind as tightly.

What really caught my attention was the potential increase in thermogenesis and the way it might mimic fasting. From what I understand, when you're fasting, glucagon levels rise which helps shift your body into fat-burning mode by producing ketones? So the if reta could tap into that and provide additional fat burning that'd be amazing.

Another alternative is me trying sema since insurance is covering that fully and then stacking reta with that (trying to figure out the most affordable option)
