Big Jump in Weight Loss After Starting Reta – Anyone Else?

[jimmybimmy]

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

My problem with your post is not that you are losing more on Reta, my problem is what the fuck are you doing losing 2lbs per week when in fact you only weigh 143LBS. To me a 143lbs man is very pathetic looking one so you better stop it before you totally disappear dude. In comparison I lost 25lbs from 245 to 220 and I'm thinking I might have lost a bit too much. Are you that thick in the head that you think you need to be that thin in the body?

Switching to Reta broke my stall or more accurately change from very slow weight loss. As we lose it does slow down naturally. It was easier to lose 0-60 than down 60-80.

I do echo the concern about loosing too much, healthier should be the goal. A little reserve, decent muscles and healthy balanced diet is ideal.
