Incredibly low maintenance

Maybe you could trade or exchange them with someone?

I'm using 1.5mg each week. Dropped around 40 pounds in about 8 weeks. I stay very active with daily workouts and cardio. My eating is also tightly managed. Used it to finish a bulk phase.

When I saw the thread title I assumed you meant you were easy-going and didn't need much attention. It does sound promising that you might hold your results on such a small amount once you dial it in. I'm still working on the initial loss so I don't have maintenance experience yet. Nice work on the total drop and getting lean!

I had said I'd stay on these meds forever, but I just finished my first week without any. I still lift six days a week and haven't added cardio. Surprisingly hunger hasn't spiked dramatically. It's difficult to gauge exactly how much retatrutide is still influencing things, especially since I had tapered down to 0.5mg. That amount was still producing solid results. Looking back, I basically eased myself off instead of stopping abruptly. Feels decent overall. Maybe others could try something similar.

No, forget that, I'm restarting.

Last week was the holiday period. The stretch between Christmas and New Year's is known for lots of tempting food, which is probably the trigger. The toughest fast I ever did was right after Christmas, even though I've gone longer without eating before. Constant exposure to those foods made it brutal. Having these medications then would have made it much simpler.

From everything shared here, people generally don't increase retatrutide amounts the same way they do with tirzepatide, except maybe in research settings. So how many units or milliliters are in the syringe when someone injects 2mg or less?

I prepare mine so that 1mg equals 10 units. Makes it simpler to track when using several different compounds at once.

This is great to hear. I think my husband should consider adding it. Right now tirzepatide doesn't seem to be moving things for him. He's a larger guy near 300 pounds carrying extra around the middle, so it seems like this could help. The issue is he works from home at a desk so he doesn't move around much during the day. Maybe the fact that you've increased your activity is why you're getting such good results. I'd like to see what others think. I'm going to look for more threads on this because I'm interested now.

I'm older and have knee issues that limit how much I can exercise. I also sit at a desk for work. I do some resistance training, aim for 5,000 steps, and live on the third floor so I go up and down extra times to hit that. That's basically it. I've still dropped 40 pounds in 12 weeks. He'll be fine on it.

Plenty of people use very small amounts of retatrutide mainly for better insulin response, a higher metabolism, reduced inflammation, and targeting visceral fat rather than strong appetite control. It's more about fine-tuning. These aren't usually folks trying to shed a large amount quickly. Once I start trying it I expect to stay on a low dose for a long while just for those optimization effects.

Retatrutide costs more, but if it delivers better results with fewer milligrams then it's worth it. A couple of milligrams might match what 15mg of tirzepatide does. My doctor said to adjust tirzepatide based on how I feel. All of these medications end up being very individual in that way.
