r/RetatrutideTalk

Ever since I started Retatrutide 5 weeks back and have changed my diet to eating primarily red meat, skyr, raw milk and honey as well as eggs and sour dough my stool started turning black. Not sure if this is from the iron in protein mixed with constipation or if anyone else has experienced this? Please let me know thank you!!

Just wondering how people go being on Reta and lifting weights, I just recently started Reta a week ago, I’m 50 6’5 and lost a lot of strength from where I was 10 yrs ago, I’m trying to get back into in to the strength I was then, I’m also currently on 60mg of cymbolta also so my energy most days is pretty average

I have been taking wegovy for a long time now and want to make the switch to Reta, I still have some wegovy left. Can I take both while making the switch to only Reta?

Hi everyone, I’m 18F, 165cm and around 80kg. I’m seriously considering retatrutide, but before I do anything I want to hear from people who actually know what they’re talking about.
I’ve been overweight basically my entire life. I was actually skinny when I was little but around 9 years old I went through a lot of family problems and bullying and started using food as a coping mechanism. That continued for years and I’ve been trying to fix my relationship with food and my weight for the past few years.
There’s also some family history of weight issues my mom has PCOS and has always struggled with losing weight. I don’t think I have PCOS myself but I’ve never really gotten a proper explanation for why losing weight has been so damn difficult for me.
I’ve tried the gym multiple times. The weird thing is that I seem to build muscle pretty easily, but losing fat is another story. I once went consistently for about 2 months while eating around 1,300–1,500 calories and getting a lot of protein. I got stronger and visibly built muscle but the scale barely seemed to move.
Right now I’m around 80kg trying to get 130g protein a day lifting weights and getting roughly 10k steps every day. I’ve also tried incline walking and the elliptical, but I absolutely hate incline walking. It stresses me out so much 😭. I actually enjoy just walking so I’ve been sticking with that.
Money is also a factor. I can’t afford the protein anymore where I’m constantly buying a lot of meats, supplements, etc. Most of my protein is basically chicken breast, minced meat, eggs, yogurt, protein powder, etc.
At this point I’m just really tired. I’ve been trying to lose this weight for years. I’m tired of being the bigger person, tired of comments about my body, and tired of feeling like I’m constantly trying and getting nowhere.
I originally thought maybe I should just lose all the weight first and then build muscle, but then I started hearing that I could lose a lot of the muscle I already have and potentially end up with more loose skin. So now I’m confused about whether I should be cutting while continuing to lift or trying to build muscle first.
And then there’s reta.

I’m genuinely considering it because I feel like I’ve tried diet + exercise repeatedly and I’m still struggling. But I also don’t want to blindly take some random peptide because I’m desperate.
So I guess I’m asking:

Would retatrutide actually make sense for someone in my situation?
Would something like semaglutide or tirzepatide make more sense?
Should I be getting bloodwork/testing done first?
Is 1,300–1,500 calories actually too low for me if I’m lifting?
Can I realistically lose fat while maintaining the muscle I already have?
Should I keep lifting throughout the weight loss?
what would u do in my position?

I’m not looking for someone to sell me reta or tell me to just eat less and exercise more. I genuinely want honest advice because I feel pretty stuck right now.
Thanks 🫶

Hi everyone I’ve been doing my research on Reta. I found a supplier to buy it from and I know we need BAC water for reconstitution but the supplier is out, is there any place I can get BAC water? I know pharmacies tend to have some but I need a prescription. I also would appreciate any help with supplies. I can get alcohol wipes and syringes on Amazon but does the size matter? I also did watch the beginner videos linked at this sub and have been doing my own research.

Can anyone let me know what supplies I may be missing? So far I know I need
\-Reta vial
\- BAC water
\-Syringes
\- alcohol wipes

Any tips or help is appreciated. I’m very new and very naive I suppose so any advice would help me feel a lot better starting this new journey. Thank you!

Is anyone stacking Reta with Tirz to maximise appetite suppression and fat burning? Any advice on doses and schedules? Thank

I’ve been on Reta for 18 days so 2½ weeks (started July 31st), and the difference in my appetite/food noise is honestly insane. the fact that i genuinely don’t get hungry anymore is actually so crazy to me 😭

like… i don’t think i’ve ever experienced this before. i’ve never felt this comfortable just… not being hungry?? there’s no stomach growling, no constant “what am i gonna eat next?” thoughts, no feeling like i NEED to snack on something. the food noise is literally DOWN.

and don’t worry guys, i’m still making sure i eat even when i’m not feeling hungry!. it’s just so wild to me that food doesn’t feel like something i constantly have to think about anymore.

i honestly LOVE this for me, it genuinely feels so good to finally understand what it’s like to just… not be consumed by food all the time.

I was on rt-3 for a couple of months which I loved so much I lost a lot of weight and didn’t feel any of the tiredness or anxiety a lot of people talked about it in fact I didn’t feel any side affects at all so I think. I just literally felt less hungry… however, I did notice around that time I was angry a lot. I’ve always been known as a person that’s always happy even when things are going wrong people often say I’m happy and see the bright side of things in general my patience is so high and it’s super hard to make me mad. But around the time I was taking rt there was a lot of work stuff going on ontop of moving into a new place and just so much stress in life but I was super irritable and had my first road rage ever lmfao. I was a lot more irritable and was getting mad at people more often which is super unusual for me. After a while I just stared isolating myself and not talking or doing anything with anyone even my girlfriend who i love lmfao. Personally I highly doubt it was the Rt and think it was everything going on in my life but is there a possibility that it couple have been rt causing me to be angry? I never had a crash out or anything I just remember genuinely being annoyed by everyone’s presence and lowkey mad during random conversations what are y’all’s thoughts???

I took Reta .5 my friends obviously different needles, I got it from his website he uses I’m 6’1 180 pounds tryna cut to 170.
I quit drinking and smoking and I train fighting and work out plus my job is like a work out.

Anyways I just took .5 in the butt to start out just wondering if this is a good safe start.

Hey! I’m 20F, around 170 lbs and 5’5. I’ve been researching retatrutide for a while and I’m really interested in trying it. Obesity/weight issues run in my family and I’ve looked into prescription GLP-1s before, but unfortunately my insurance doesn’t cover them and the out-of-pocket cost is way too expensive for me. I’m still very new to the research peptide side of this and honestly don’t really know where to start. I’ve been reading through this sub but would love to hear from people who have actually used reta. For context, I currently take Prozac, Wellbutrin, Adderall, and clonidine. I don’t have diabetes and don’t have a history of pancreatitis, gallbladder issues, thyroid cancer/MEN2, kidney/liver problems, or major stomach issues. For people who started around my size/age, what was your experience like? What dose did you start at and how did you decide on it? How slowly did you increase, if at all? What side effects did you have in the beginning? Did anyone take similar medications while using reta? I’m also confused about the practical side of research peptides. Reconstruction, supplies, storage, understanding mg vs syringe units, etc. I’m not asking anyone to sell me anything or DM me a source. I mainly want to understand how people learned to do this safely and what resources you trusted. I know reta is still investigational and that research peptides come with additional risks. I’m trying to learn as much as possible before making a decision rather than jumping into it blindly. Anything you wish you knew before starting would be really helpful!

I’ve been taking Reta for 3 weeks now. Started on 0.5 and now on 1.5 and not showing too much change in my body. I’m definitely eating less with less craving but when can I expect to see a change. I burn on average 2.5k calories per day and average 15k steps.
I’m 100kg and 5ft11

I have searched this on various reddit subs and didn't see a good answer, specifically. Please pardon my neuroses. So, I've been on Triz since 10/25. I've had great results, lost over 100lbs since. I'm within 20 lbs of my goal. I added Reta (grey market kit) in June, low and slow. Started at .25 and titrated up to 5mg as of last week. I am stacking it with Tirz while titrating it down. Am now on 7.5 tirz with great food noise supression. But I've noticed no boost to the weight loss nor have I noticed any side effects. Three days after my Reta dose, I decided add a "bump" of .5mg of Reta that I had remaining from a peptide "research" vendor with a name and website, not just a so-called sketchy telegram S.T.G. vendor. Anyhow, I've been nauseous like never before on this journey. I'm wondering the likelihood of this being a side effect of taking real reta, and maybe my grey-market telgram vendor kit (which I never had any sides from) possibly means that it was fake all this time and that my body is currently reacting to real reta? Or is it more likely the additional .5mg I added pushed me into side effect territory, since I had already pinned the 5mg three days before. I'm being neurotic, but... Any thoughts?

Has anyone noticed any emotional changes since starting reta? Since I started, both my boyfriend and I have noticed that I seem less emotionally available in my relationship. I get irritated/upset more easily, feel less affectionate sometimes, and generally feel a little emotionally disconnected compared to how I normally am.
I’m not saying reta is definitely causing it because obviously other things can affect your mood too, but the timing made me curious whether anyone else experienced something similar.
If you did, did it eventually improve as your body adjusted? Did anything help (eating more, sleep, changing dose, etc.)? I really don’t like feeling this way and would love to hear other people’s experiences.

Hey everyone. I started R3ta about 12 weeks ago.
Started at 0.5 for about 3 weeks. Then 1.0, 1.5 and then last week my 1st 2.0. The whole week I have been burping, not Sulfur burps and also have a feeling like butterflies in my stomach.
Anyone else have had this. Didn’t think it would last this long.
Was wondering if I go back down to 1.5 tomorrow or stick with the 2.0 as I should get use to the titration.
Have lost 12kg.
Cheers 🍻

Czy robicie takie połączenie? Jak tak to w jakich dawkach?

Hey gang!! I have been on reta since December. Last Thursday was my last dose!! It’s now 2 days without reta I’m not going to lie. I feel hungry lol which is weird because on reta as we know hunger doesn’t exist. I don’t have any cravings nor food noise. I’m just hungry late at night. When I wouldn’t even eat at this time it’s currently 10.39pm in the UK 🤣. I woke up today with no migraines! No heart burn!! What a winner. I do miss the feeling of not feeling hungry though lol. I have lost 19.5kg im not at my weight goal but I’m not far off! Reta has been amazing! But it’s so mad how everyone’s body reacts to it differently and progression! I feel like my progression was a lot slower than others but hey Iosr 19.5kg!!! Now onto my weight loss without the reta pray for me guys 🤣 has anyone else stopped taking reta
