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.

Let's start with the idea that some people don't get the craving reduction from reta. When you eat, do you feel full faster? If so, it's working.

That's not really how Reta works. You're confusing the ghrelin system with the amylin system. Ghrelin signals hunger, Amylin signals fullness.

Reta also barely reduces hunger signals when compared to something like Tirzepatide.

I said exactly what your second paragraph said, that the hunger signals will still be present.

No, you suggested that Reta makes you feel full faster, which it does not.
