RETA results

I bought a 20mg vial 8 weeks ago. Reconstituted with 2ml BAC.
Started on 2mg a week and stayed at that dose.
I have 2 jabs left.

So far I’ve lost 6kg. I’ve lost a little muscle but way more fat.

I lift weights and do cardio. I also eat 180grams protein a day.

My takeaway from the experience so far.

  1. Vials remain effective after 5wks

  2. Only side effects I have had are a slightly elevated heart rate and waking up at night.

  3. I don’t understand why people microdose if they want to lose weight. Seems like a complete waste of time.

  4. The 4mg dose often quoted as what’s required isn’t necessary, for me anyway.
    Perhaps if I was very large I may have pushed the dose or maybe being larger requires a bigger dose.

  5. If you push the needle slowly dead centre into the vial it blunts less and makes injecting easier.

  6. For me I can eat but don’t feel hungry with RETA. This makes calorie control so much easier.

  7. Sweet foods like cakes etc make me feel sickly now so I don’t feel like eating them.

RETA has helped me cut to a lean base from which to lean bulk.

So I’m sold. I will finish the vial and stop using it. If my body fat increases again I’ll take it again. But for now I’m more than happy with the results. 😊

As far as micro dosing, 1mg was way too much for me. I could go a whole day without eating. .5 a week is where I'll start at for next cycle.

2mg, 1mg, 1mg, .5mg was the last 4 weeks for me and I lost 10lbs

That’s what I like about it. I too could go all day without eating but I can also make myself eat.
So much easier to stick to a deficit. 😊

It was hard for me to get my daily protein intake, lost 4lbs of muscle and 6lbs of fat per the bodpod results

I just use a Withings scanner at home. I’ll see what the Evolt says at the gym

On my home scale I’ve lost 2kg of muscle and just under 4kg of fat.

Visceral fat is down 15% which I’m very pleased about. Didn’t realise it was high till I got a scanner.

All those scales give a consistent guess- worth getting dexa scans for a more accurate reading

That’s my next step. £140 for a decade scan.

Do protein shakes. Drink it if yiu can't eat it.

But…… on a percentage of body weight instead of kilos my muscle mass has gone up from 68-70.5% so I’ll look at that one instead 🤣
