Hi all,

Just started reta, and after week 1 the scale hasn't moved at all, even though I'm only eating a quarter of what I normally would. Does that happen to others? Any advice would be great!

Oh, I'm Andy by the way 🙂
 
Hey Andy!

So many variables are left open here. I was about to bring up things such as how much you're taking and whether the source can be trusted—but if your caloric intake was cut to 1/4 of what you normally eat across a whole week, then some shift would probably show up, that is if you aren't loading up on other not-so-great stuff, like consuming loads of sugar through any number of routes.

With that being said, no two bodies respond the same way, and a few move far more slowly.. patience and consistency are clearly great qualities to have.

Just wondering, what's your current weight?

Also, welcome!
 
My weight swings by roughly 2kg/5lbs all the time, based on how much I work out, whether I take creatine, how salty my meals are, and if I'm constipated.

That means there are plenty of explanations for why the scale hasn't budged in just 7 days.

Welcome!

My weight is 197, and I stand 5’7.

I have dealt with a belly in the middle range, and maybe early metabolic syndrome
