Retatrutide - Don't Get FOMO
Yesterday I asked a couple of questions about what people think the benefits of Retatrutide are that other GLPs don't give, as well as the specific benefits of the glucagon receptor component. Let's address those below, so you don't feel like you have FOMO if you don't use it instead of other GLPs. Disclaimer: I've used Reta for over 18 months. I love it. 1. The glucagon fat-burning benefit - Glucagon agonism can cause hepatic lipolysis (liver breaking down fat) and increasing energy expenditure. But guess what? Tirzepatide also reduces visceral fat significantly. Retatrutide doesn't reduce it but by maybe 8-10% more than Tirzepatide does. And the "fat-burning benefit" likely ends up being a maximum of 100-200 calories/day that it burns and is really going to exist at the higher dose. So "microdosing Reta with Tirz for fat-burning" likely isn't doing much for you. 2. Reduces / reverses fatty liver - Retatrutide is about 86% reduction of NAFLD, but Tirzepatide was somewhere around 60%. So yes, Retatrutide is really the best one on the market for this, but it isn't so significant that you have to use it over something like Tirzepatide in order to get this benefit. 3. Retatrutide prevents muscle loss / is muscle building - If you look at the DEXA data for Reta, about 80% of the weight loss is fat mass. But guess what? Tirz is about the same generally speaking. Now, Reta typically gives you less of a "feeling" of strong suppression, which lets you keep calories high, which means that protein is higher, which means that you can preserve more muscle. But ultimately, if you use a low enough dose of any GLP to where your appetite isn't completely crushed, then you'll be able to mitigate muscle loss. 4. Insulin resistance - Retatrutide definitely helps with insulin resistance. But the A1C reduction isn't quite as good as Tirzepatide's. So while it can be a great solution to fight against something like diabetes, it's likely not going to do it for you the way that Tirzepatide will.

Group Rules
1. Be respectful. This one is straight forward and nobody is being disrespectful, but just always remember that. 2. No self-promotion, promotion of random products, etc. This is a paid group and the content should reflect that, vs. people getting random products, etc pushed on the page. Nobody is doing this currently, but for future knowledge. 3. No discussion of overseas vendors, group buys, groups, etc. No discussion of groups, my vendor, etc. This is a learning space and I have vendors I vet to ensure people have a quality place if they need them. I don't care if you go outside of them, but do it in silence. This is to prevent any issues, people getting scammed, and I don't want my groups, etc to be the place where that stems from. If you have a vendor, it's 99% of the time irrelevant to conversations. To be clear, posting companies is against group rules. 4. No sharing of outside charts, etc. without clearing it first. I'm not saying I'm the end all, be all of knowledge. But I have seen charts that are wrong, tell people that they need to be at max dosages within 4 months, etc. and I don't want knowledge that may not be accurate or have issues being shared with someone who doesn't know any better. If it checks out and looks legit, I have no issue with it being shared or even throwing it into the classroom. 5. Check the classroom topics before posting. This isn't to be rude, but just check because the answers may be in there. Too much of a flood of the same question can lower engagement from the group as it gets flooded with random questions that have been answered too many times. Only doing this to maximize group engagement and make it worth-while long term for the entirety of the group. 6. If for any reason someone ever finds there way in here and messages you some weird stuff, seems scammy, whatever, let me know in a DM and I will remove them from the group. It's paid so the likelihood is low, however a scammer would gladly pay $10/mo to make a few thousand off of unsuspecting people.

So far, tried it nasally and it was okay. I have the 💉 version now and thinking 600mcg is just not cutting it. Is there a better upper limit? Ty
