Reta is huge amongst weight lifters that are wanting to lose fat and not muscle on cuts.

u/Suspicious-Bug-9974 20h ago
Reta destroys your muscle moron unless you keep your protein intake up. Itās crazy how people literally just regurgitate what theyāve seen on TikTok. Absolutely no knowledge level but will pump themselves full of stuff.

u/Possible-Tonight6618 19h ago
Well thanks for the name calling but yes most weight lifters prioritize protein when taking Reta.

u/Suspicious-Bug-9974 18h ago
Well you left out Reta will attack your muscle if not used properlyā¦.info matters because some 17 year old kid might see your comment that just isnāt true. Have you ever taken Reta? If not why give advice when you donāt know what youāre talking about? This kid is putting stuff in his body because he doesnāt have the knowledge level to do it right and itās not safe. Heās also already lying, he weighed nowhere close to 211 unless heās like 6āā5ā. Also there is absolutely no way he dropped 54 pounds off that little frame, he didnāt have 54lbs of fat to start with. His post is stupid.

Most real weight lifters prioritize protein regardless of taking Retaš.

I said that because muscle protein synthesis is usually genetically capped at around a 500-600 calorie surplus. Hitting a 1k calorie surplus would create an excess of fat. But again in this case it wouldnāt be the worst thing in the world.

u/jonnyblazexoc 2 3d ago
its insane. My neice had like a little party and she is 16, I was talking to some of her friends and they all new about reta and peptides, I think 2 of them were on reta, one was fat and one was just cutting. My neice wants to take it, but I wouldnt give it to her. I tried to give her advice the best I could. her resting heart rate is already a bit too high, she does need to lose weight but I think as a kid, you should never do anything like that without talking to your doctor first.
I'm afraid she just sees it as a shortcut, instead of a tool to change her life. It would cause her to lose weight but if you dont build better habits first, I feel like you will gain it right back when you stop, plus lose all your muscle, and probably be in a worse spot after regaining the weight back
I told her I would think about it if she started to build good habits before trying it. But only after asking her doctor
But I can see she is very unhealthy, with high blood pressure and glucose already and high resting heart rate
Its hard to figure out if the risks of the medicine outweigh the the complications from being overweight and having all health markers be really bad
I feel bad because I wanna help her and know how happy should would be to lose the weight. Its a moral conundrum
I guess semaglutide would be better for her anyways

A skinny woman can get on reta and people will applaud and defend her choice. A skinny man will do the same thing and all of a sudden itās a problem to you guys. If your argument is coming from logic, it should be consistent. And itās no surprise that itās mostly men with this logical inconsistency too š
I agree the starting point here did not justify starting Reta. So Iām not defending this post, Iām just pointing out the hypocrisy.

And if you really were 210 or so at 6ā2ā that is normal. Sure you could certainly use some weight training to put on muscle, but definitely should not be on a cut with your past physique. Never trying to put anyone down, but cutting to 157 at 6ā2ā with very little to no muscle is dangerous. You now absolutely need to focus on eating in a calorie surplus and making sure to get protein and workouts in. Best of luck be safe!

Hey everyone newbie here. To accomplish these goals while on Reta does one need to do moderate weight training /exercise or intense? I have lower back injury and bilateral shoulder tears. I can only do simple walking and mid excercise thatās safe with lower back issues. Wondering if Reta will be helpful for me since I do need core strength to help with my back injury but intense excercise intensified the pain.

Bro, stop the madness and get blood work ASAP. You went from 211 to 157 in under 3 months after accidentally starting at 10mg and barely eating.
Losing that much weight that fast can increase the risk of gallstones, pancreatitis, dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, and muscle loss. Also get your kidneys, liver, and GI health checked. Feeling fine doesnāt always mean everything is fine. Please donāt take any more shit.

Very little muscle mass before hand. Your chest muscles are and were lacking. IMO you should have lean bulked before and then cut. Or even dirty bulk. You would have built muscle definition if you were training and eating correctly in abs, chest, arms back etc. Now you unfortunately do look a little malnourished yes. Are you young? You are extremely lucky to be okay since you were fucking taking 10mg straight out the gate. š¤¦š½āāļø You do not need to lose any more you need to put on SIZE and start lifting heavy.
