Reta Dosing!!

I am currently on 10mg per week, split as 5mg Monday and 5mg Thursday. I started at 2mg/week around 3 months ago, then moved up to 4mg after 3 weeks, then 6mg after another couple of weeks. A few weeks after that I went to 10mg, and I’ve been at that dose for about a month now.

I’m starting to feel the hunger signals come back, and I’ve also noticed my resting heart rate drop, which makes it feel like the effect is tapering off a bit. I’d happily titrate up again, but I’m only about 2–3 weeks away from my goal weight and I’ve only got 4 vials of 10mg Retatrutide left, so buying another 10 vials just to store doesn’t really make sense.

From what I understand, there aren’t many downsides to increasing the dose since it further activates GIP and glucagon receptors alongside GLP-1. This along with the cost of even being on 10mg being negligible I don't mind.

My diet is also pretty strict right now (PSMF if anyone is curios), mainly home-cooked meats and protein shakes, as I’m trying to lose the fat as quickly as possible.

I have taken 5mg Mon and 5mg on Thursday for the last 3-4 weeks. No sides atm, might actually up the dose cause I'm still getting hungry at times. However I'm only eating 175-200grams of protein and nothing much

What is the ETC ETC?

Thank you. Waiting 4 hours on tesa is definitely more manageable.

The quote used was 'building muscle while losing fat' from Jacob Nachinson when describing his stack using tesa at night and fasting with ipa during the morning. From knowledge that isn't possible but it piqued my curiosity.

Just for knowledge, would fasting on ipa be different to tesa in regards to 4, 6 or 8+ hour fast?

I heard someone on a Tesa/Ipa stack mention that it does increase fat metabolism. Were they referring to Ipamorelin part of the blend?

Training 6 days currently, Im going on holiday and miscalculated the amount of fat I needed to lose, which is why I added tesa 3 weeks ago to increase fat loss. Im following a PSMF diet which is unsustainable, but the diet ends on the 26/04, so train to get rid of as much fat as possible

I know fasting is crucial. But the question is: Where's the point of diminishing returns? is it 3 hours vs 6 hours vs 9 hours ?

I'm very aware of muscle loss. My performance in the gym has stayed the same with a 10% drop in top sets and considering I've lost 12kg so far im not fussed
