I began Reta at an elevated dose and increased it too fast. On top of that, the constipation. Tirz gives me better bowel movements than Reta did.
Are you all also training and keeping your nutrition reasonably in check?
After I pin RETA, I spend the 1st couple of days constipated, though it eases up once I use SS and Miralx.
Yeah I don't know for certain, but as I mentioned, I'm still figuring things out. I followed a suggestion from my brother's gym buddy and began at too high a dose, then worked my way up—but after reading more, I realize I ought to have titrated more gradually.
Here's the eating plan I'm attempting to follow. Fatty foods almost never appeal to me, though every so often noodles are tempting. Bread and milk I avoid on my own. Except when milk goes into a shake as a dessert
Yeah, I did 4 weeks at 1mg, then bumped it up to 2mb this past Friday.
So for me, I began on 3mg, and that brought on the headache, nausea, constipation, plus every other side effect.
For maintenance over the long haul, tirz is probably the stronger pick, since extended glycogen depletion — something Reta may bring about — has been linked to harmful health outcomes
What does ss mean? A buddy of mine is dealing with severe constipation.
reta hasn't caused me any constipation, which is fortunate. I wanted to drop 20 pounds and I've just reached that milestone after 3 months, so now I'll begin lowering my dose. That weight wouldn't have come off without it.
My training schedule is 5 days per week, using a push, pull, legs, upper, lower split. Reta was started at 1 mg, and I increased by 1 mg weekly until hitting 5 mg. Roughly 8/9 weeks in, and 30 lbs are gone. Right now I'm tapering down so I can stop before a surgery, then I'll go back up afterward. There are another 40 lbs I want to drop, after which I plan a low weekly maintenance dose and to add CJC/IPA BLEND in pursuit of getting shredded.
