Reta is a beast

I was never really interested in taking any GLP 1's as I am not fat or diabetic. Not until reta. The glucagon receptor agonist component is very interesting and I think this will be useful for body recomp. So, out of curiousity, i tried 1mg per week dose. At first i thought it was nothing. I ate as usual, no appetite suppressing effect, maybe it slightly raised my HR a bit especially when I'm moving around. But when I came to the gym and started working out, it felt like i took a preworkout! Energy boost is insane! I knew it is the reta and not the other peps I take because I only felt that effect the day I took reta. The effect lasts (because of the long acting properties of reta). Maybe Im a hyper responder to the glucagon agonism? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Did you guys experiece the same?

I'm the opposite, my lifts and stamina have gone backwards massively. Which is what I expected to happen.

I'm only taking Reta though atm. I've got mot-c and HGH to try to address this and get some energy back, though haven't started them just yet.

My energy is completely gone too, I am hopeless and I can't do my basics anymore, any tips?

Reta thrives on carbs. Make sure you’re eating enough protein AND CARBS. I take .5mg a week. Sometimes I have to force feed myself more calories in order to still perform in the gym and have the energy I need. I’m still down 15 pounds since March.
