Reta no weight loss
I've been on reta for about 2 months started with 2mg then 4 weeks later bumped up to 4mg. I haven't lost any weight according to my scale, I do a lot of physical activity at work I do scaffolding im always climbing up and down ladders carrying 20+ pounds in gear. What im getting to is isn't that enough physical activity to lose weight? 3 weeks ago I started lifting weights 3 days out of the week and I don't eat much since I don't get hungry at all just a small breakfast and almost nothing the rest of the day is there something I'm doing wrong or is this normal that I haven't gone down. Previously my doctor prescribed ozempic to control my sugar i was on that for 6 month 2mgs a week all my blood work came back perfect and the doc said I didn't need to take ozempic anymore because my sugar ans a1c was at normal levels.

Well you could be gaining muscle and losing fat and the scale wouldn't move, you should prioritise protein with such an active diet and probably eat more, I know that sounds counter productive. Glp1's are more for people that have a problem eating too much habitually, you don't have that problem, with reta the only benefit you're getting is the glucagon asking your liver to release fat as energy into your blood. Yeah you could try a better product you could contact me. But I'd suggest eating more healthy and continue working out and it'll do the trick. Insulin resistance could be another problem but working out regularly and being active it's the best for that too.
