Sharing my recomposition results after 4 weeks, along with the stack I'm using
After reading posts here quietly for quite some time, I finally made an account to post, since the changes from month 1 caught me off guard and I figure the method deserves a write-up.
Starting point
My starting stats were 217 lbs, 23.4% body fat, and 166.9 lbs of lean mass. The target is 190 lbs with a solid physique — meaning genuinely lean and muscular, not merely thin. I've been training on a regular basis for a while and my diet is fairly clean, yet fat loss kept stalling no matter how strictly I followed things.
My current stack
• Retatrutide 0.5mg each week (currently 1mg, split into separate doses)
• CJC-1295 DAC 1mg each week
• Ipamorelin 200mcg every night at bedtime
• Creatine 5g every day
InBody results from month 1
Here's the part that surprised me. The scale barely budged, only 1.5 lbs. I nearly quit based on that number alone. Then I had an InBody scan done, and the real picture was:
• Fat mass: 51.0 → 46.7 lbs (-4.3 lbs of pure fat)
• Lean mass: 166.9 → 169.8 lbs (+2.9 lbs)
• Body fat %: 23.4 → 21.5% (-1.9%)
• InBody score: 83 → 87
• BMR actually went UP 29 calories
I dropped 4.3 lbs of fat while simultaneously adding lean mass, all while in a calorie deficit. The scale had been misleading me the entire time.
