I’m currently using Reta to cut down body fat from a previous bulk. I started at 210 and I’m now at 172, aiming to get down to 165. Are there any peptides I should be taking to help preserve or gain lean muscle during a cut like this? It’s hard to tell without a DEXA scan how much muscle I’ve lost — I feel like looking leaner makes me think I've kept more than I actually have. I did stay at about 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight the whole time. I have my eyes on Tesa.
 
Reta is defiantly a good start on helping conserve muscle during a cut. Eating enough protein as you are already doing and controlling how fast your loosing the weight will be the biggest help to preserve muscle. Growth hormone secretagogues will help burn fat and help keep muscle. Tesa really focusses on the visceral fat that's usually hard to lose and causes the most health risks. I usually run Tesa/Ipa but CJC/IPA is just as good.
After that could look at fat reducing peptides like AOD, 5-Amino or SLU. These will not necessarily preserve muscle but will target more fat loss. These defiantly aren't necessary but just another thing available. I found these to be the biggest help when getting to a lower body fat and hit a plateau.
