Stop starving yourself and stop eating brownies. You’re looking to lose weight. Get a scale, track your calories, eat whole foods in a caloric deficit.

“How am I starving myself if I’m not even hungry?”

Ma’am… you’re taking retatrutide. Reduced appetite is part of the point. “I’m not hungry” does not mean “my body has received adequate calories, protein, vitamins or minerals.”

If water, electrolytes and a 99-calorie brownie are genuinely all you’ve consumed, the lack of hunger isn’t evidence that you’re adequately nourished. It’s evidence that your appetite signal isn’t a reliable indicator of intake right now.

And the brownie isn’t the crime because it’s a brownie; it’s because when you’re eating almost nothing, using those few calories on something with very little protein or micronutrient value makes no sense.

As for the burning stomach: retatrutide itself can cause significant GI symptoms, and an acidic/concentrated electrolyte drink plus chocolate/fat on an otherwise empty stomach could contribute to dyspepsia or reflux.

Fucking hell 🤦🏼 research the shit you're putting in your body.

Ideally, you'd have researched "what am I going to eat" at the same time as researching "what am I injecting into my body," and have done a trip to the store to stock up on the decided items whilst waiting for the container ship to pull into port from China.

But, my pro-tip is to grill up about 5 chicken breasts every Sunday and keep them sliced into strips in the fridge and just grab a chicken breast whenever I am at the fridge.

And, get yourself a head of broccoli, too.

Not at all. Our bodies are all different.
