Curious about this study too. I'll look into it tomorrow morning after work. Hopefully I end up with plenty of treats. 😂
I've checked into it and it checks out. Happy Halloween everyone! Share a photo of your Halloween.
Halloween candy jokes while on GLP-1 meds
Summary
how do people on GLP-1 or retatrutide handle Halloween candy
Users joke about the holiday while taking tirzepatide or retatrutide, sharing that the meds reduce interest in candy yet some still plan to sample treats. Several mention gym routines or other compounds to manage side effects. The thread stays light with photo requests and banter about who is indulging.
What this discussion establishes- Meds like tirzepatide make large amounts of candy unappealing compared to past behavior
- Users plan to eat some Halloween candy anyway and share photos
- Jokes about being a 'reta bro' and using gym time or other compounds on rest days
- Some avoid buying candy to prevent temptation while others feel in control
- Light teasing about who is secretly sampling supplies
Nothing here is advice.

My clock runs an hour behind yours and you're wrapping up the preparations now. I'm looking forward to lower temperatures once the daylight fades. Sixty minutes from now I'll definitely be mixing myself a whiskey drink. Would something like that qualify as sugar alcohol?
I reckon I will end up enrolling in the research too.
Earlier I searched online for a small candy bar and said aloud there was no chance it contained that many calories. It turned out to be the even tinier version with just forty seven instead. Twelve months back I would have finished the entire package without caring at all. Grateful to the medication for making the difference.

Spotting even one of those immediately settles everything. This explains my habit of steering clear from ever purchasing sweets.

The people I get things from told me precisely their requirements and wanted my input on what I want. Assuming there's still time, I could check out some items later tonight.

Assuming the usual impression is accurate those reta bros might stay busy checking out their goods instead of forwarding photos.

I keep wondering if that reta boy label applies to me but it never matches how I see myself.
I'm so disciplined I don't even have anything bad. My wife doesn't know how I do it.
↳ replying to @GreenPebble13
Suggestions welcome? I consider myself quite the tester type. I give every single thing a couple of goes minimum to ensure it really isn't my thing.

I get suspicious whenever someone engages with that account. He popped up in a news segment recently, which seems connected to erratic actions triggered by reta. Plenty of reta users hit the gym to handle those intense moods, though a few turn to strong substances instead to get through it.
↳ replying to @SharpCinder28
I agree completely. Every week I dedicate five days to intense weight training sessions. Still the two days without exercise leave me in full panic mode.
↳ replying to @SharpCinder28
Does this qualify me as a bad reta kid then? I see myself as pretty helpful and I display very few of the actions that got listed. On top of that I deal with a cyst along my spine. It's hard enough for me to pick up my drink and take my medicine, much less do any strength training. Okay you spotted my use of those two things not long ago. Getting away without detection makes it fine. Hence I'm excusing myself from any blame and suggest the same for others. That's it then. 👍 😎
Figuring out the numbers on those small candy packages is what really spooks me this evening haha
I'm not concerned at all. Where I live there are mostly elderly folks without children
Right now I'm open to any extra chocolate that gets sent my way.
Ended up passing out 75 chicken legs while guests took the rest plus quite a few thighs. Had 25-30 people over and might be dealing with a hangover today. Whiskey feels stronger when you skip meals and drop weight, but I'll be fine. Woke up at 5 only to see the bedside clock didn't adjust for daylight savings so it showed 4am, then went back to sleep for an hour.
Skipping this one. It falls outside what I'm willing to risk. Not about to trigger a candy setback. Once you're hooked you're always hooked.
Only two kids showed up but I bought enough for two hundred. Can't keep that much around the house so I brought it all to the office today, set it on a table and told everyone to help themselves. Should be gone by lunch.

Right, there's still candy sitting in the break room after the holiday. I'm avoiding that room completely next week. Thanks for the reminder.

Had a bit of a hangover too after beer and bourbon with the neighbors. Still made it in to work this morning though.
Trick or treat lasted two hours. Handed out two cases of beer, half a case of wine coolers, and candy to over a hundred kids. Rain started so the last two kids got everything left, one sealed bag plus three bowls emptied into their bags. They have a story now. I skipped every piece of candy and all the alcohol, just one diet soda. I'm on OMAD so when we got inside and watched TV for an hour I asked my wife if we'd had dinner yet. Hadn't thought about food or candy at all. Really enjoy life on these meds.

Whenever alcohol enters the picture my mind goes straight to swallowing NAC by mouth and the same holds true for mineral salts.
For me if a 100 grand bar shows up it's getting eaten. Can't stand most of the usual stuff that gets passed out but those little bites are great. We keep good chocolate here and that can be risky but the standard bars from Hershey or Mars I skip.
Too dark for photos yesterday but he really likes the costume. The horses weren't as impressed though.
↳ replying to @BrightSparrow36
Your kid has no idea how cool that costume actually is, right?
↳ replying to @IronKettle95
Not the worst issue to have. OMAD works well and pairs nicely with a GLP1 routine. My sister and I grabbed BBQ from a food truck today and mistakes were made. Even after my run this morning and all the steps I felt overly full for the last four hours. Makes me wonder how I used to eat that way regularly. Have a good one!
↳ replying to @KeenPebble54
Drop it and walk away! I do the same thing at my dispatch desk at work. Poof, it's gone!
I set up my image viewer with these button labels shut to end the display forward to move ahead back to move behind if the picture fails to appear it says the item you asked for won't show up attempt once more in a bit begin picture show to start the auto run end picture show to halt it entire display to expand the view preview pics to show small versions save file to grab a copy send to friend to pass it along enlarge to make it bigger fresh tab to launch separately and switch side bar to flip the panel on or off.

Seems like he approves of it, seeing as he invented the concept on his own. He mentioned becoming a shark in the upcoming year, however after that he might don this one once more, and that's fortunate because the mask ended up being rather expensive.
