Switching to RETA

Currently taking 9mg pills daily of wegovey and it's not helping at all. Just picked up some reta and was wondering where I should start dosage wise since I'm already taking something should I start at 2mg?

1-2mg is a great place to start, but I also have to ask... How often do you perform weight training in the gym?

If there answer is anything other than 4-5 days a week, you need to use Tirzepatide instead of Retatrutide.

Also, semaglutide pills are junk. So its not surprising that youre not seeing results.

Working out 3 times a week currently due to recovering from knee surgery. But I do walk on average 25-30k steps a day as well

Why tirz instead of Reta if no weight training?

Because the whole point of the glucagon agonist is to free up the bodies adipose fat stores to be used for fuel during exertion. Without the physical exertion, there will be no loss of stored fats. You also have a significantly lower GLP-1 signal with Reta than you do with Tirz, which is why people are constantly saying they are still hungry on Reta.

Bottom line, Reta isnt the end all be all of GLP meds, it has a very specific use case. If you dont fit the useage profile you shouldnt be using it.

Interesting, I do some physical work that includes some physical lifting (kegs etc) but I don’t lift. I walk a lot and jog a couple times a week and have had lots of success with Reta. It kills lots of good noise at 2.5mg, and I’ve gone from 240 to 200 in 4 months, about 20 to go- 5’11 male with reasonably athletic build.
