Subject: 35M | 5'9" | 185lb — Tirz/Reta for recomp, and handling the "Vyvanse Crash"
Hi everyone,
Totally new to the peptide world, and after some "boots on the ground" advice. Male, 35-year-old, 5'9", sitting around 185 lbs (~27% BF) right now. Decent shape, I think - tennis 3x a week, lifting 3–4x a week - yet a multi-year plateau has set in: stubborn belly fat and a slight double chin that won't budge no matter how much I move.
A low dose of Tirzepatide as a "jumpstart" is the plan, to shed the final 15–20 lbs and hopefully transition to maintaining on my own.
A few specific hurdles I'd love insight on:
Thanks in advance for any help!
Hi everyone,

A low dose of Tirzepatide as a "jumpstart" is the plan, to shed the final 15–20 lbs and hopefully transition to maintaining on my own.
A few specific hurdles I'd love insight on:
- The WFH/Vyvanse Factor: Working from home, Vyvanse daily. Appetite is dead during the day, but once it wears off in the evening the "boredom snacking" and rebound hunger hit hard. Anyone used GLP-1s to bridge that gap and calm the late-night food noise?
- Tirz vs. Reta: A lot has been read about Retatrutide for the metabolic boost it offers, but with a lower BMI and a stimulant already in the picture, is sticking to Tirzepatide first the right call?
- Weekend "Benders": During the week I eat clean, but weekends often mean social drinking and the "hangover recovery" meals that follow. For anyone who started GLP-1s with a similar social life - how did your relationship with alcohol and those weekend cravings change?
Thanks in advance for any help!
