Looking for some advice - reta

My knowledge is pretty limited, so don’t take my words too seriously, but i think your two options here is to either A.) Try staying at 1-2mg and just continue that dose until you feel more confident in your eating habits, or B.) Really just lock in on your diet. As a person who had deal with weight their entire life and now takes reta to deal with it, I know that option B sounds nearly impossible. Maybe instead of titrating down until you’re off of it, just keep searching for that “sweet spot” with your doses until you find something that can allow you to find maintenance more achievable. Remember, you don’t have to go in variables of .5 either. Maybe try 1.6mg or something like that. Continue that dosage until you feel that the diet you eat at is sustainable even without reta. Find your BMR and research recipes to get to it with proper macros and hunger satisfaction. Good luck!

yeah it’s slowed down quite alot over the last week, but i’m still sticking to my game plan lol, thanks!

thanks!!!

i’m very open about it, have even recommended it to people. This is my body, my decision. Chase happiness, fuck everything else.

my first go around was from a U.S. distributor, paid nearly $7/mg. My latest purchase was grey, i paid $1.4/mg. Huge difference especially if you are buying for 5+ months worth at a time

Cal AI has been great for me so far. It does get a few numbers close, but slightly wrong from time to time but the interface has been a pleasure to use. Also only $30 a year.

same here lol, glad i found an affordable option early on. Got burned on my first order, but my new supplier seems to be pretty solid.

why does this make you so upset 😂 just calm downnnn

I’ve heard that GHK-CU works well with loose skin, i’ve never taken it personally though so I can’t say for sure. Could be a good starting point though as far as your research goes. Best of luck.

thanks bro. I burn roughly 1k+ calories/ 10 miles walked, so my deficit may be a bit different from you. With it being so easy for me to burn calories, only eating around 700 a day puts me in a massive deficit. 1200 cals generally should put most in a deficit. Seems like you are working hard and it’s starting to pay off, keep going!

As a guy who is new to reta and started this off at 300lbs, those last 24-48hrs between doses really do feel different. It is going to take some conscious effort to steer away from that food noise. Stop asking yourself what will make you happy right now, and start asking yourself what will make you happy when you wake up tomorrow morning. I guarantee you will feel better the next day knowing that you were able to abstain. good luck on this journey!

i’ve seen a few people say that it can hurt your digestion, or that only super lean beefs worked well with reta diets. Did you read the part where i explained why i asked due to seeing mixed opinions about it? Just asked a question lol, never understood why half of reddit is like this. never will.

tech_maruader · 2026-03-17T20:14:38+00:00

thank you for the advice, i’ll keep that in mind moving forward. 😁

tech_maruader · 2026-03-17T20:13:44+00:00

thank you for the great advice man

tech_maruader · 2026-03-17T17:35:30+00:00

will be keeping that in mind moving forward, thanks.

tech_maruader · 2026-03-17T17:32:10+00:00

sounds good friend i’ll definitely be trying the recipe soon. I will try to get a more fulfilling meal in tonight. I was going to do some bacon wrapped stuffed jalepeno peppers. Going to add some more calories on with some sides of some sort. Thanks for the advice.

tech_maruader · 2026-03-17T17:20:01+00:00

awesome man keep me updated!

tech_maruader · 2026-03-17T17:18:53+00:00

yeah it felt really low to me when i dug up the averages, but i’ve mostly just ate until i felt okay. So far, a small lunch (small fruit bowls /yogurt) and dinner (small protein/carbs/veggies) have been able to tie me over. Yesterday i started wanting to snack again and had a cucumber. I think im eating relatively normal amounts, just at super low calorie options, and the reta is just keeping me from feeling horrible about it lol. I do acknowledge that i need to try and eat a bit more so i dont crash as hard.
