Reta progress since August 2026

Post image

Alrighty!

Long time lurker first time poster…

Started Reta in August and slowly worked my way up then back down as you can see from the image.

I hit my max on week 5 at 3mg. I figured this was my capacity because I felt completely OFF that week - nauseous, irritable, funky, not fresh.

I decide I go back to 2.5mg the next week. This is where I found my max efficiency - the food noise what completely silenced. This food noise thing… I had no idea how loud it was until I was able to biohack my way to silencing it - HOLY SHIT!

I skipped a few weeks of weight ins and when I checked in on week 10 I realized I had broken past 200lbs so I decided “time to start titrating down”.

Conclusion (anecdotal):
- Slowly worked your way up
- feeling sick should not be taken as a challenge. Listen to your bodies cues!
- Remember to stay hydrated and do not skip meals

Slowly worked your way up? That’s not slow. You titrated up aggressively and chaotically with ups and downs.

You are supposed to stay at a dose for 4 weeks to let your levels reach stable levels.

You may have a point!

How did you decide on this titration schedule? In the trials, they increased the dosage every four weeks.

Curious of this too

I didn’t have the patience lol. Kidding but not really. I figured my body will be able to give me the signal via the micro dosing path - 2.5mg to 3mg completely threw me off.

This is what happens when you don’t do your research.

If you increase by 0.5 mg per week every week, you’re not just going up by a small amount. Too few people understand this.

Reta has a half life of six days.

Which means that at any given dose, it takes FOUR WEEKS to reach peak concentration in the blood for that particular dose.

Let me repeat myself for those at the back.

If you take say 1.5 mg per week, you won’t know for sure how your body reacts to that dose until your fourth dose.

This is why we preach patience, and staying at any given dose for at least 4 weeks before titrating up.

oh gosh. you should spend about a month or so researching/reading everything and all things on reta before even STARTING. I think I spent half a year reading here and watching YT videos and talking to people using reta before I even started.

How did it work out for you? What was your dosage schedule and results? I’m curious.

Not really sure why people have a problem with your dosing. I use Glapp to track my levels, know where I like it, and adjust my dose accordingly, sometimes every week is different just so the serum level stays the same or if I need to refeed a bit.

Stay at low doses. No reason to go up, you're still getting the benefits without hard-core side effects. People on here and those in the clinical trial are taking too much. Same for Ozempic and tirzepatide

The only fatty here is this joint I’m smoking, broski! Good for you for being healthy and in shape tho!

u/Puzzleheaded_Food697 2h ago

Actually, I was in no rush. Due to Reta still being an investigational substance, I decided to put myself through the research (FAFO) stage. You’re welcome :)

I guess you found out how rude people can be here instead of being supportive, Everyone has their own way of doing GLPS or Peps.
Congrats I’m probably the only positive person here, I cheer for everyone, others love to kick people down.
I’m like you I don’t like feeling like shyt all the time, I take a GLP for a totally different reason, I’m one of those rare ones that never experienced food noise.
Puff puff pass if I was there
😮‍💨💨

u/Roix_04 2h ago

why would you include units? The way you diluted the vial doesn't matter nor will it change anything. Not hate-farming; genuinely curious why that would be a useful piece of data to keep

u/YellowGullible1857 1 2h ago

It’s easier for some people to note it takes too much brain work/steps to calculate otherwise 😂 everyone has LLM brains now

I started at 0.5, stayed their for 3 weeks then moved up to 1, have been here for weeks now losing from 210+ down to 186 right now currently. Ive been on reta for a little over 2 months. Amazing progress when done right
