The article is only true if people don't make the necessary lifestyle changes: working out and eating enough protein. You need those regardless of whether you're taking GLPs.

Thanks for sharing your experience. But I don't buy the article's argument. He uses his own stories plus an old study that newer research has disproven. Sure, some people regain the pounds after stopping GLPs. That's gotta be frustrating, I agree, but he makes it seem like that's how it always...

I'm a big believer in longevity, and those benefits you mentioned are why I'm planning on staying on reta indefinitely. It's not just about weight loss; it's about overall health optimization.

RealBeer364 - What joints are giving you trouble? Glow didn't really address my elbow tendonitis, but it definitely accelerated recovery from minor tweaks during deadlifts or rows. My knees have always been fine, but my wife's aren't the best. She uses osteobiflex, and it seems to relieve her...

Poses like pigeon pose open up my hips and really help my deadlift. Seems to help me activate my glutes which keeps my lower back from taking all the weight.

Calories and nutrition: Before starting retatrutide, I cycled my daily calories between 1800 (low) and 3500 (high), cutting and bulking. I struggled to stay below 1800 calories or above 3000, as excess calories quickly turned into fat. Now, on 2.5mg/week of retatrutide, I'm consuming 1400-1500...

I've been kicking around some ideas about how to best utilize peptide protocols alongside my training cycles to maximize results. I understand we could technically run multiple protocols concurrently, but for the sake of discussion, let's say we had to pick and choose. I’m eager to hear about...

Thanks to everyone for the advice! I'm leaning towards not using them, just to be safe. It's tempting to save the money, but not worth the risk if the medication has degraded significantly.

Thanks CleanHappy and Charlie_20! If I'm still around to type on Monday, I'll thank you again. Happy Thanksgiving!

I've got a handful of 10mg ZEPBOUND injectors that were sitting in a fridge that broke down. They might have been at room temp for a month or more before I realized it. Now they're back in a working fridge, and they look OK – no cloudiness or anything obvious. Would it be dumb to inject one when...

For those considering it for weight loss, Retatrutide is supposed to be a game changer, especially for guys on TRT who can't seem to get rid of stubborn fat. It's supposed to help preserve muscle while you drop weight and even improve your heart health. Fingers crossed that's the case!

I'm on 4mg Reta for maintenance, once per week. Been at that dose for about a month. I also take .6mg Cagri on an opposite day once a week (the day before my Reta shot).

I switched to Reta (starter dose) after using 16mg Tirz for 4 months. My RHR on Reta the first week was around 98, which freaked me out. But, my RHR on Tirz was consistently high 80s to mid 90s. Now, I'm on Reta for maintenance, and my RHR is stable in the mid 70s most days, which is even lower...

This reminds me of someone else's journey... someone posted about losing a LOT of weight - I think over 200lbs, maybe closer to 225 or 230? It's so inspiring to see these transformations.

Incredible progress! Congrats!

That's great progress! Keep at it!

That's amazing!!! I'm really happy for you!

Saw a good rant about this on a Reddit sub here. Basically, some people would rather see us suffer. It's wild.

Looking great! I totally jumped when I saw the last pic, though! For a second, I thought you had a bad bruise on your rear! LOL

The bigger picture is that some religions assign virtue to suffering, and that thinking gets ingrained... the more you suffer, the more worthy you are... so, doing anything less than struggling is lazy, even sinful...(like, suicides go to hell)... but also jealousy, because they think they won't...
