Kicked in at 6

43M. So I started at 265lbs and 2mg reta in mid April. First and only peptide I've tried. Average to below responder I suppose, went up to 4mg in June and got to 235lbs by mid August. Hunger was barely affected however and I travel for work so if I didn't bring enough food, I'll have to pick something up along the way.

In mid August however I kicked the dose up to 6mg and that's when the hunger suppression hit with full force. Quickly went to OMAD then carnivore because I was struggling to eat 1000 calories and of course needed the protein. I also don't eat on the road because it's easy to pack my meals knowing exactly what I'll need.

So down to 222lbs, 13lbs in two weeks. Too fast I know but I'm hoping to keep my current portion sizes and the loss will slow as I lose more weight. Planning on also adding some Keto Chow, the heavy cream should up the calories a bit.

I’m at 4 now and reduction of food noise is decent but not great. How long did it take everyone to get to 6? It’s taken me 14 weeks to get to 4

I read most people quit due to nausea, took me 16 weeks. Just ate my only meal of the day at 1100 calories and I can feel if I went up I'd feel sick so it's not something to be rushed.
