@Mandy Cousins this protocol is what I would suggest starting on. This will correct your metabolic health and the weight will regulate.
Retatrutide started
Well i gave myself 0.1ml today, probably 3hrs ago. Yes I know I've started. A bit of ick feeling and just felt a bit weird. I reacted quite a bit to other GLP1 at .25 dose via the pens. I never got of that dose as the side effects never reduced. Lost 7 kgs in 7 weeks . I dont want to do that ever again. I want to do KLOW today but still unsure of the reconstitution amount and the dose is it 5ml of the water to mix and .3ml dose every day. Does someone know. Update: just got home from having lunch out. Felt a bit yuck after but the feeling has got much better in the past 15 mins. Hopeful this works for me. I re read Jeff's message with KLOW .05 dose daily 3ml dilution into blue powder bottle . Update just did the KLOW 0.05 of 0.5ml syringe hope that's right Jeff in 3ml solution

Thanks for the update. Let’s see how you go with that dose of Reta. As I mention the idea is to get the lowest dose for the least side effects and best effect. For you it may mean only .05ml. Keep me updated and we can adjust because if we layer another .1ml dose it could be too much as it accumulates.

@Carol Cole I don’t use the Reta for weight loss. It’s the metabolic effects we are after so even at minimal appetite suppression we are getting towards our goal. The weight loss is just a nice benefit that is linked to better metabolic health.
Amino Acids
@Jeff Butterworth when on aminos, do we still need to try get our 120gm (approx) of protein through our food or do we need less now?

Good question. First is protein is overhyped these days. Once you hit your requirements which is only 1.2 grams per kilogram. It’s enough. Unless you are an athlete or body builder. Second is when you start Reta it can be hard to hit the basic requirements so hence the aminos. One scoop of that will meet most of your needs and just tick that box without having to rely on protein powders which can fill you up and then block out other important elements like fibre.
Plant Based Amino Blend and Ultimate Cardio
Wow I have to say just by adding in these 2 I have gone from not alot of strength to assisting my husband to lift things to taking my bike off the bike carrier with ease. I have been doing a lot more biking and finding my energy is so much better. Pretty sure I've lost some weight and toning much better. Cellulite hardly there on my upper arms now. So impressed. Let's face it im nearly 64 so any improvement is fantastic. I haven't even started the reta or KLOW yet. Bring it on.
