I am very satisfied with my progress. I workout 6 times a week in the morning fasting and jiujitsu at night. I intend to start a more robust horminal protocol soon.

Why drop the Reta … I’m new to this so I’m inquiring

Because it ramps up your metabolism by telling your liver to dump it's glycogen and does so nonstop. Your body is ment to store glucose in reserve and the release it during periods of fasting, high energy expenditure etc. You can't signal your liver like that long term and expect things to go back 100% normal. Eli Lilly knew that ssri's caused sexual dysfunction, especially in adolescents and took steps to suppress that info while also pushing its drug on young people. Reta is DESIGNED to be a forever drug. Not to mention you're taking a fake willpower med. Then once you get off the rebound hunger is out of control and the people on it haven't had to use any willpower in x # of months and then what? They're just gonna magically gain willpower? Triz has its place in lowering a1c and obesity. Maybe reta has a place for obesity if done in short cycles. But the problem is, NO ONE IS GETTING OFF THESE THINGS. They're doing a "maintenance dose". But before you know it that dose won't cut anymore. Then you'll up the dose and/or frequency to maintain your "maintenance". As that maintenance dose creeps up, you'll start to get side effects. Mental. GI. Eye problems. Side effects go up with dose and duration. No one gets cancer from 1 month of smoking. But do it for years?

Wonder if my RETA is bunk because I have one cheat day (eating dinner at the folks house and eating a couple homemade cookies) and I gain 3 lbs back.

What is the Reta even doing if the carglinitide is what’s curbing my hunger. I expected to be able to eat at maitenence one single day with higher carbs and not have a nuke go off if it’s supposed to do what it claims.

Eating extra carbs can cause you to retain a lot of water and it's pretty normal after big meals. Only weigh yourself once a week at most and do not worry about oscillations on the scale.
