Hey everyone,
I’ve been on Reta for about 3 weeks now and noticed something quite interesting. For context: I recently finished a long cutting phase, during which I lost around 20 kg (from 85 kg down to about 65 kg). Toward the end of the cut, my weight loss had really slowed down — hovering around 0.25 to 0.4 kg per week, even though I was sticking to my diet and tracking calories meticulously (within 10% margin max).
Then I started Reta — and suddenly, I’m losing 0.8 to 1.2 kg per week. That’s a pretty significant jump, especially since I haven’t changed anything major in my diet, training, or activity levels (I even lowered my cardio a bit because of the sudden heavy loss of weight). My strength in the gym has stayed pretty stable, so I don’t suspect lean muscle loss to a large extent.
I’m curious if anyone else has experienced this. Could it be water weight (I’ve noticed I’ve been slightly more dehydrated lately), or could Reta be having some unexpected metabolic effect even in someone who’s already quite lean and dialed in?
Would love to hear your thoughts or similar experiences.
Thanks!
PS: I am on about 3mg per week
