Down 18–20 lb on Tirz, trying to lose more body fat while preserving muscle — considering Reta

I'm aiming for 190 pounds while keeping body fat between 10 and 12 percent so I can judge how I look and feel overall. Power output has held steady with barely any decline in the amounts I can lift. Endurance might have shifted just a touch, which forced me to rest longer between sets during the period when weight was coming off. In the first four months I dropped around 20 pounds at a steady five per month. Then I added back roughly two pounds and the scale has stayed put for the past two months. Now I still need to shed seven more. The change in how quickly food moves through my system is already at the limit I'm okay with, so raising the dose isn't something I'm willing to do. It looks like you're still dropping weight. You mentioned having no issues at all? Has digestion not slowed for you, or does the current amount feel manageable?

My digestion has become a bit slower lately yet it stays under control especially if I cut back on heavy meals. I've started another supplement that helps my stomach feel better though I got along okay before adding it. You're nearing the weight you want so it makes sense to plan how you'll keep things steady once you get there or right after. It seems fine to bring in another med now since progress has stalled. I've seen many threads about switching over slowly or combining them and I checked those along with the related forums. I tried increasing my current dose in tiny steps like splitting it differently across the week to see if it restarted things without extra issues and I added gut support at the same time. I haven't used the new one myself but others mentioned beginning with a low amount of it in between their regular shots rather than together on one day.

I used to believe that keeping muscle tissue intact ranked among the main positives of reta.

Appreciate the reply you gave. Finding it curious that appetite thoughts are absent for you. Which strength of Tirz did that involve? Experienced any reactions from adding Reta? Checked the heart rate at rest ahead of using Reta, then afterward too? Was there a rise?

The starting injection of that medication came via an auto injector at the beginning amount. Right away the strong urge to eat vanished and has stayed quiet even after dropping to smaller amounts then stopping altogether a few months back. I cannot tell whether the newer compound is handling the urge for me or not since plenty of others report it does nothing for them which is the reason I kept both going together in the beginning. I stick to a set weekly pattern with the newer one while using the first only when the urge starts returning which can happen anywhere from five days up to more than two weeks after a dose. That pattern makes me think I will rely on this type of compound long term because the urge brings back the same loss of control and worry I had before any changes in routine. No amount of habit building seems to alter it for me it just flips on or off like a light. Watching how my body reacts has been eye opening and shows I am not cured without outside help from a peptide. That is why I keep a decent supply on hand so I never run out. I have watched my heart rate for years due to something else and it either rises slightly or stays the same depending on the day. I skip tracking variability though maybe that would be useful. Neither compound has caused me any unwanted effects so far and I count myself fortunate. Bowel movements have been slower than usual but that started well before any of this.

😂👍🏼

I notice better results when avoiding oily and heavy meals. Appreciate the input provided.

I monitored my pulse on several occasions and saw no major spike so I stopped worrying about it. When it comes to shedding fat I have no idea what tissue is actually disappearing. I reached a standstill with the first option and then began dropping again after switching to the second. My stamina stays surprisingly weak with either one even in small amounts and that effect feels stronger than I anticipated. Maybe I'll hit another plateau with the latest choice and end up stuck at whatever weight that produces. With any luck I will start eating more have better stamina and regain fitness. I plan to get a fresh scan later so I can check my updated body makeup. After that I might try another round of reduction or just hold where I am. I figured I would have more control over how this went. Life seems to find my goal of keeping or adding muscle while the scale drops pretty amusing.

Appreciate you posting that. Similar to your situation, fatigue hit me during weight reduction phases, even at rates slightly above one pound weekly. Over time my stamina improved. It checks out that plateaus brought back vitality since no calorie shortage was occurring then. I notice your suggestion involves injections spaced six days apart and shifting the other glp by three days. My limit is 5mg of Tirz per injection, which led me to divide the 7.5mg amount, though this could shift later. Five weeks marks how long I've used the 7.5mg level so far. Reports indicated others administered Cagri separately from Tirz or Reta timings. Grateful for the details on your effective approach. Additional choices and factors help.

I think this substance helps keep blood sugar a bit elevated, which supports better stamina in the gym sessions. During a calorie cut combined with lifting weights, it reduces much of the muscle loss that comes from the fat reduction driven by these compounds. Following the suggested pace of two pounds lost each week, along with proper protein consumption and steady strength exercises, makes it possible to manage without that addition, though including it does ease the training sessions somewhat.
