Started Reta after getting into single digits, still have a ways to go. Keeps the appetite in check. High output job plus the gym I have to eat and it helps me choose when. I stll need the calories and I know when I skip a meal. Food noise is gone. I had a little GI upset but numerous other variables could have casued that and it was tolerable. Slowed digestion, as in in wringing every ounce of nutrition out. Output decrdased....lol.
Started on 2mg a week, went to 3 for two weeks and decided I was happy with results at 2 so we stayed there. I am now at 1.64 for an oddly dosed vial. ( I did the math just went lower) it does not have the same effect. 2 mg seems to be my minnimum and sweet spot for effect.
So for me 2 mgs a weeks keeps the hunger and mental food thoughts away so I can work but my GI did slow down but was still productive.
