Off-Ramp

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 been on Wegovy, Zepbound and now Reta. Stalled on the first two, tapered off and gained all the weight back. Started with 2 mg of Reta for 4 weeks (didn't feel anything because I have been at max dose of the other two). Feel good on 4 mg of Reta but not losing. Suggestions? Not really working out or tracking because I've never had to on the other ones to lose.

This one is interesting, I lost eighteen pounds in ten weeks on retatrutide. My brother tried it after having done well on semaglutide and he reached a higher amount than me, felt almost no appetite suppression and gained ten pounds. He's going back to sema

Eight months on retatrutide: 95 pounds gone. Not going to lie it was one of the hardest things I ever had to do, anyone telling you the opposite is lying. I eventually stopped using it and expected the weight to come rushing back and to my surprise it did not. I’ve regained only around five pounds in the last 3 or so months.

Nobody plans the exit. Everybody should. Weight comes back after you stop. So does A1C. Dose-dependent, it's in the data the higher you were, the harder the snap-back. I'm not treating this as a course with a finish line anymore, I'm building a taper, a maintenance dose, an actual off-ramp. The people who just quit cold are the ones back at square one in six months and wonder why ? retards

Had reflux for fifteen years. it got better on tirz, week one was hell. Then the weight came off and the thing I'd had for a decade and a half just... left. Two-sided coin, it wrecked my gut before it fixed it.

Quit tirz after a year.. Gained back 30 of the 50 in four months. This shit sucks man , furious about it honestly.

following up on the reta heart rate post since people in the replies kept bringing up the other thing nobody warns you about: my fasting blood sugar went UP on reta. tirz held me at a clean 85. reta pushed me to 95+ and climbing, on a drug I'm taking to get healthier. turns out the glucagon arm that makes reta lose fat faster also tells your liver to dump glucose. the weight came off and my glucose got worse at the same time. read that twice, because I had to.

took semaglutide for 14 months. gained it all back in 4. nobody warned me the (off ramp) was a cliff from fat to pretty and back to fat & ugly
