I'm not carrying a huge amount of excess weight that needs to come off, but the alcohol suppression caught me completely off guard once I began — and WOW. Where I used to drink often, these days it's roughly a beer or two each week. For a stretch of a few months, my two roommates and I were putting away a 24 pack every day, and stopping was getting harder since all of us kept egging each other on. Once Reta kicked in, the first two days were like a switch being flipped and the cravings vanished, and truthfully the health gains from that far outweigh what comes from dropping ~30lbs. Now I get to have both benefits at once
Once I reach my goal weight and start experimenting with maintenance dosing, controlling alcohol cravings is going to be one of the things I aim for.
