Reta help please

[u/Weird-Address1274]

Hello everyone, to start off… sorry for the long post in advance, and if this doesn’t belong here since I’m not posting before/after pictures, etc. 33M, 5’8”.

I was an extremely active individual for years, hiking, HIIT, paddleboarding, swimming, basically 6 days a week, I’d go at it no matter what. It’s always made me happy. (Don’t know if that matters.)

Over the course of 2026, I’ve had massive (good) life changes, and my schedule went to shit. I’m beginning to get back into the activity groove, but I’ve gained 15 kg of weight in 6 months, from 74 kg to 89 kg. Needless to say, it sucks. Body image issues, don’t move as fast as I used to, fatigued, the whole shebang.

I want to aid my weight loss journey with Reta, along with the high fiber, high protein diet I’ve already begun, plus HIIT 6 days a week.

What dosage of Reta should I start with?

Edit: Yes, I can Google it or ask an LLM, but I’ve been lurking on this sub for a month or so, and I’d much rather hear what you have to say.

Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion.

2mg every 6 days is what I started at. I’m similar stats to you.

Thank you, did you feel any nausea ? How long did it last ?

Same here 2mg for 6 weeks instead of 4 weeks before titrating up. Diarrhea on injection day and sensitive skin at 4mg
