I started at 2mg Reta, and after 5 months added cag. I'm now further in, and am at 10mg Reta, but my cag is still relatively low at .6mg. The range is .3-4.5 in much of the documentation. I'm making sure I get my protein, and hydrating well. Though I've lost weight, it isn't as quickly as when I was on Tirz. However, my loss is slow and healthy. Some people think Reta isn't as strong with hunger control, but I believe it depends on the person. I find it works well. I took advice and added cag, but I'm not sure it's making a difference... I may experiment with lowering the reta and seeing if I need more cag to offset hunger. So far I've been sticking with the case study dosages.
