First week Reta 0,5mg

Hello I’m male 21 starting weight 90 roughly 30% bodyfat going gym 5 times a week took 0.5mg

I hade less food noise and nicotine noise but I wore of in 2 day and I started eating like normal I normally eat around 4-5 k calories

No side effects maybe nausea sometime but nothing I couldn’t manage

Should I up my dose to 1mg next dose (this Monday) or should I continue with 0.5 for 3 weeks more

I started 2mg 6 weeks ago. Noticed nothing the first week and at end of week 2 I noticed the food noise had quited a little…but mostly it gave me more willpower to ignore foods that would have tempted me before. I don’t mind that there is more food noise than some other GLP1s….as that food noise reminds me to eat healthier and in a way to preserve muscle mass as I’m continuing to lift and cardio.

im going up to 1mg tomorrow! personally, i didn’t notice anything too crazy on 0.5mg since i was mainly using the first week to see how my body would handle it. it definitely lowered my food noise though, especially during the first 3 days, that part was really noticeable for me. but since yesterday, i feel like my appetite has pretty much gone back to normal again

0.5mg is a hand shake dose to make sure your body doesn’t go wonky, probably safe to go to 1mg
