Moving to Reta for maintenance

Came off 10 mg triz and started reta at 1 mg, working up to 5 mg. Appetite control felt weaker at first, but around 4-5 mg it became more noticeable again. Starting to see better definition and seem to drop fat while holding onto more muscle than before.

First, congrats on the results so far. I've used reta for seven or eight months after being on MJ. Kept up lifting and cardio throughout. With reta I seem to hold muscle better, which helps with recomposition. Biggest change is food: on MJ it was hard to eat enough because suppression was so strong, but on reta I can get the calories needed for muscle work while still feeling satisfied and controlling portions. The glucagon part also raises metabolic rate and supports fat burning, which may mean less muscle loss relative to total weight when protein and training are solid. Some add a bit of cagrilintide for

Recomp would probably suit your situation well right now. It takes patience but is worth looking into. Eat near maintenance or a small deficit, keep protein high, and focus on progressive lifting. Fat comes off slower but you end up looking fuller and tighter instead of just smaller. Good luck.

Had the same thought. Been on tirz a couple months and it's working, but once I near target weight I'll switch to reta for the same reasons. Barely eating on tirz even at 2.5 mg, so hoping the switch solves that.

Can't compare reta to tirz directly since I came from sema and sema plus cagri. At goal now and having trouble finding a maintenance dose on reta because suppression is still very strong and I'm struggling to eat enough. If you want anti-inflammatory effects, reta isn't as effective. On sema I cut asthma meds and allergies nearly vanished, but that hasn't happened on reta. Heart rate rose more on sema than on reta. Blood sugar runs low on reta and creatinine dropped, which might mean muscle loss or very efficient kidneys. Everything is person dependent. Like reta for loss but unsure it's the right maintenance option and might go back to tirz. Could work for some but not others.

Just started reta this week. Used tirz over a year after sema and liked it, but want to see what reta can add. Been stalled a few months, which is fine, but hoping reta breaks the plateau and gets loss going again. Once at goal I'll decide which to use for maintenance. Also wondering why some shorten it to triz instead of tirz, maybe to avoid common terms like on some servers.

Been maintaining since May 2025. Didn't go to a high reta dose and didn't wash out, just stopped tirz cold. Maxed at 15 mg for five months. Most loss happened earlier when moving from 12.5 to 15 mg. Last twenty pounds came at 15 mg. In the final two weeks dropped to 10 mg and added 0.125 cagri, then stopped tirz the next week and started 1 mg reta with 0.25 cagri for maintenance. Now at goal on 3 mg reta alone after dropping cagri in November 2025. Lost another fifteen pounds unintentionally during maintenance so stopped the stack. Staying on 3 mg reta as long as weight holds steady. Can add cagri back if food noise returns. Eat mor
