When people complain on forums that their weight loss has stalled or that they have regained weight on a GLP-1, there's always some smart ass that replies "you have to track your calories and your macros" and I'm like well if I could do that I wouldn't be on a GLP-1 in the first place. Yes I am expecting GLP-1s to be magic wands, fight me. If I get to a point where my hunger cues are out of control and food noise is coming back with a revenge and I am eating over my maintenance calories as a consequence, then the medication is simply not working.

I have a theory that reta works best in naïve patients that have never tried a GLP-1 before. I think a lot of the complaining about reta disproportionately comes from people who switched from tirz to reta while the more positive experiences come from people that started on reta and never tried anything else. There obviously will be outliers but I wonder if anyone else has noticed this. Ex-tirz users will report zero suppression from reta at like 4mg/week while naïve users will microdose 0.5mg/week because anything stronger is too powerful

$1000+ in Grey market GLP's (2ag & 3ag) since May26 have done nothing ( up 5lb) compared to 503a CP Tirzepatide (down 55lbs: Dec25—Apr26). Grey market peptides are placebo BS.

Been on Glp-1's since 12/2024. Tirz is like a trusty Toyota, gets the job done with little fanfare. Reta is like a finicky high-end car, impressive performance but difficult to drive-still haven't figured it out after 10 months. Never tried sema--gonna guess that's like a Yugo where you feel every pothole.
