Running 40 miles a week, cycling 100+, lifting 3x. Not chasing more weight loss. Curious if Mots-c might boost endurance performance for athletes? Most info I find is either lifting-focused or generic health stuff.
The electrolyte tracking becomes more important during the taper phase than at steady state - as the medication effect diminishes, food intake tends to increase and the kidney's handling of sodium and potassium shifts back toward baseline. Having the electrolyte supplementation calibrated to the new intake level rather than the suppression phase prevents the imbalance that sometimes produces fatigue or cramping as you step down.
1.25mg weekly as a first Reta dose is a cautious start. The smidge-of-a-second-compound approach is how a lot of people end up running low amounts without overcomplicating the stack. What is the goal from here - maintenance or still active loss?
Thanks for sharing! Pretty close to the same starting and goal numbers here. Fully locked in on this. Keep running the calorie math to see how long it'll take. A year sounds like forever but somehow it always flies. Planning to stay on GLP-1 long term?
Really appreciate the suggestion, though I already ran reta for half a year at 8mg weekly and saw no weight change, just a pile of rough side effects including intense hunger. That experience pushed me off reta entirely, and I'm not really looking to start another GLP-1 for now. Which is why cagri solo is the current plan, and I've got elora on the way too. Going to add 500mcg on top of my current 1.5mg and track how that goes!
