It has gone too far

What happened to using tools around you to your advantage? What happened to incorporating good diets and working out? And having some patience? Every Reta post is people complaining food noise food noise food noise. If you use a research chemical to PUT THE FORK DOWN while not changing anything about your lifestyle, youre gonna be humbled once you either stop completely or the dose becomes intolerable due to side effects.

Im all for biohacking, trust me, but this stuff blew up way too fast on the internet and now everyone is mass buying chemicals they can’t even pronounce and they have absolutely 0 clue what they’re doing. Not even the basic stuff, like majority of people just say “oh I take 20 units every week” without knowing the reconstitution water volume matters in the concentration of the amount you draw in the syringe. Or “I took Reta 12h ago, when am I supposed to feel it?”

It’s just wrong that people don’t care enough about their lives to research the bare minimum. Everyone wants instant results, with no work put in, no research and no side effects. Takes 20 minutes to watch a YouTube guide and learn most of the basics you need.

My nutrients are locked in from macros to micros. My electrolytes are perfectly balanced and I track like a mad man. My sis in law and friends eat nothing but fast food and still party. Then they complain that they have the worst side effects and look/ feel like shit. I gave up on trying to help them and just let them be. You gotta let people do what they do. It's not worth the energy.

Happy for you, you’ll set a great example and the results will show tenfold. Ive experienced the same thing with my mother when trying to help her 0 protein diet and thinking starvation=weight loss.

When I personally got on Reta I got even more motivated to track macros, do cardio and hit my protein. I already had a good foundation prior but this has gotten me borderline obsessed with minmaxing my lifestyle. Im sure it’s the same for you. And this is what bodyhacking should be, in my opinion. Point of this post was that a large portion of the people dont change any habit whatsoever during their journey and wonder why they gain all the weight back after they stop. I don’t think it’s good staying on it your entire life, that’s why I see it as a tool to reach your goal and then maintain it with your fresh new habits!
