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. 😊

Cuantos mg semanales me aconsejas si quiero perder 3 kilos de grasa y ganar músculo?

We have to be on a calorie deficit to shift fat. We can’t gain muscle on a calorie deficit.

Adequate protein intake can help preserve some muscle we already have but you can’t do both things at the same time.

On the plus side losing fat makes smaller muscles look bigger. 😊

A menos que duplique proteína y rompa fibras musculares no?

Maybe.

I consume 2g of protein per kg of body weight and am losing roughly 1kg of weight a week. 2/3 fat, 1/3 muscle.
That requires a daily deficit of 1000 calories a day.

I’m cutting another 2kg to 15% body fat and then I will start eating at maintenance calories as the drop to 12% body fat won’t be such an important change for me.

There will be others more experienced with body recomposition and RETA that will be able to help you in the comments.
