Six months is still within the range for finding a therapeutic dose - many are still adjusting at that point.

For starting out, Tirz has more user data and a more established protocol - Reta is the stronger option but better as a second step once you have a GLP-1 baseline.

First month nerves are normal. The experience gets a lot easier once you're past week 2.

I think you're right. When I'm in a stall, I let myself have a cheat meal to shock my system. It's usually enough to get the scale moving again.

Are you on your period? Or have you changed anything else? You can break a plateau by switching up your routine a little. Have you ever tried fasting? 36 hour fasts can work, just make sure you're still taking your vitamins.

It's a plateau, and they're annoying but normal. Then, suddenly, you'll lose a couple pounds, and you're back on track. It's just your mind messing with you. Stay focused on what you need to do, and it will start moving downward again. I stalled a lot when I lost 88 pounds. Just think about your...

Yeah Big_Dad, I saw that too. Seems like they're worried about safety risks or something. Wonder what it means for access to some of these things.

I've heard anecdotes about people using it off-label for injuries. I've read a lot of positive things about it. Always risky, though.

I work at a chocolate factory. Just saying... it did not help my weight during the 10+ years I've worked there. :p

I agree. I'm getting into the really dark chocolates now. I never liked them before starting this.

Thanks Shannon95, for the details. I have friend who can't get GLP1s and don't want to try DIY. Maybe this is something they would try. Do you know if all yacon syrup has the same FOS? Most say 2g sugars per tsp.

Does anyone know how the study doses compare to what you can buy?

Going up slowly is probably better, but it's not to say you can't bump to 4; the unwanted effects could be a bit stronger. Have you changed your diet recently? Adjusting diet sometimes changes things.

That's fantastic, Progress! Huge congrats! 🎉🎉🎉

Just sharing my experience... I went from 2.5mg to 4mg and I saw a noticeable difference in weight reduction. My titration was 1, then 2, 2.5, 4, 5, and currently at 6.
