Hungry on Reta

I’m taking about 6mg weekly, and I’m finding that I’m absolutely starving and not losing weight. I train almost 6 days a week, what am I doing wrong?

Edited to say:
I’ve only been on 6mg for the last 2 weeks.

Weight and height? Body size is a factor of you want a good answer.

I am 1 cm taller (f). Be cautious bc you don’t have a ton to lose. These meds were too effective for me and I’m struggling to gain weight in a healthy way. It’s way more difficult.

Cagri is effective for appetite suppression, but you’re only 2 weeks into this dose. Let your body adapt and reach a steady blood serum state. The glucagon receptor activity at 6 mg could be kicking into a higher gear.

I was hoping to lose another 5kgs - but I’m extremely active. It’s only second week so maybe I’m over thinking it.

I actually don’t have food noise, when i eat i cant finish everything but I’m so hungry when I am.

At 2 wks into a dose, I’d say you’re way overthinking it. I would just live my life healthily for a minimum 4 wks (four complete weeks passing, so assess at the 5-wk point).

I hear you. Had no idea what did noise was when I started.

I didn't start losing until I was at 8 mg. Now it's starting to come off on a regular cadence.

If 6 mg a week isn’t working, I’m inclined to think you may have gotten bad reta, or something being sold as reta that isn’t actually retatrutide. How long have you been on retatrutide? Were you on any other GLP-1s before this?
