Hi all, I'm a New Zealander who has spent roughly the past year taking fat loss and body composition seriously, combining gym work, calorie and macro tracking, and more recently retatrutide.
What brought me here is a desire to pick up knowledge from those with direct experience using GLP-1s, especially on topics like dosing, side effects, nutrition, training, and keeping muscle mass intact during fat loss. I've already read quite a lot, but there is clearly plenty left to absorb, and comparing notes with others beats depending only on bits and pieces found across the internet.
Right now my focus is on bringing body fat down while preserving as much lean mass as I can, instead of just watching the scale drop. I'm also keen on the science underlying these compounds and on where options such as retatrutide are headed.
Happy to be here, keen to learn from you all, chip in where I can, and post some of my own progress as I go.
