If you are itching to go up with your dose or aren’t quite sure where to begin it helps to see how Reta on average stacks up and how long it stays in your body. Here is a screenshot of my first 5 weeks:
The first picture shows estimated levels with the marker on my last shot today. The second shows an estimate of the level tomorrow.

It helps me to not titrate up unnecessarily.

I started at .5mg for the first two weeks and then moved to .7 and .8 in the following weeks. Might go up to 1mg when I can put more workouts in.

SW 212 CW 202.
Clean eating/100g of protein minimum/ sticking to macros/ 1200-1300cal per day/ one 1500-2000cal day per week/ lots of water and electrolytes

10K steps a day + 2-3 lagree classes per week

Hope this helps someone.

I wanted to eat this and I was willing to wait for two hours for the tofu to marinate in balsamic vinegar! When I started 3 weeks ago, the idea of this plate would turn my stomach. All I could eat was carbs. I had to force protein down and veggies had to be hidden under sauce or cheese.

Now I am eating this. Chocolate (my kryptonite) can be dangled in front of me and I am opting for nutritious options like this instead. Yes, I‘d choose kale over chocolate- read that again.

I notice that I prefer most food as close to natural as possible now. Watermelon radish is salted, kale has a drizzle of olive oil. What is this magic. My dessert? A cup of coffee with collagen.

Also when I go to SB now, I grab a large coffee with one sugar and pop in some collagen. Those sweet crazy things in venti can eff right off. I don’t recognize myself. And that’s a good thing.

I chose not to weigh myself for a full month after week one. Ill do a dexa scan instead, because I don’t want the weight overshadow all the amazing changes in behavior, mood and energy.

My protocol:
W1 .5 of Reta lost 3lbs
W2 .5 of Reta lost ? Found my knee caps
W3 .7 of Reta …

What are some changes that surprised you on Reta?
