Think Ima lay off hoarding reta.

nah
junk food will ALWAYS be cheaper than whole food

I would argue that it can more expensive to eat junk than to eat healthy. I think the reason we feel that is because we compare eating whatever we want in junk food to eating whatever you want in whole food. It may he cheaper to by a Big Mac than to make one, but that's not the same thing as junk food overall being cheaper.

If we compare eating junk food with building a healthy diet around a base of things like rice, beans, lentils, etc and adding meat to it instead of centering meals around meat and adding things around that, healthy is cheaper. It's more work and less dopamine, but not more expensive.

So I would argue that it can be more expensive to eat healthy than to eat junk but it can also be cheaper to eat healthy than to eat junk. It depends on the choices you make.

Fruits vs a bag of chips

Everything we do now is fresh.Veggies are all steamed like broccoli, brussels sprouts and similar. No white anything, potatoes, pasta, rice and so on. We will have a sweet potato now and then. Tonight is ribeye, asparagus on the griddle and a salad. It’s hilarious, we were away for 4 days and didn’t eat great, no total crap. Couldn’t take my Friday shot because we weren’t home. Jumped on the scale this morning and had lost close to 2lbs. Took that shot this morning. Sorry for the hijack.

So I've GOT ten years max dose of tirz, which is what I'm on. I've tried out a vial of r-30, not long enough or on a smart enough titration to get meaningful and consistent experience, but long enough to know that it doesn't cause me any particular side effects and starts to take effect at around 8 mg, which is all I actually wanted. It's always been my intention to stay on tirz, stash the reta in the freezer, and maybe switch to it someday when it's been approved and has been out in the general population long enough for us to know a lot more about it . And I do like to slow-hoard, which is to buy a kit every month or two when there's a good price, and stopping if I get to ten years max dose like I did with tirz.

I'm at five years mid-dose stash with reta, but I think Ima stop there. Like, I know that tirz is tirz is tirz, it's a cockroach, it lives forever in a good freezer, you can freeze it after recon so you can work with way-higher-than-your-dosage vials, it doesn't degrade much in the freezer, and there's not a lot of drama with its manufacture. I know it's basically fine to doomsday-hoard tirz.

But every new discussion about reta is "hey, this is weird and sensitive." Sometimes it goes cloudy even with hospira cause maybe the excipient has some salts or something which will wreck it. It doesn't freeze well or it does and degrades a lot after 45 days. Also sometimes it doesn't degrade very fast at all and other times it degrades REALLY fast, let's spin the wheel.

The reason I'm not using it yet is because of all of the early-years uncertainty on how this stuff acts and whether it's safe and the fact that we don't really know as much about it as we do about stuff that's been around for longer. But I'm thinking maybe those ought to be the reasons I don't actually stash a lot of it yet, either.

I have no doubt that when the next big things come out, I'll want to stash those too because wheee. But I think I'll cap "this is new" stashes at two years,

Ive got 3 years worth of reta at my current dose, I figure its best to be prepared.

Rookie numbers, you need to bump that up.
