who cares? Certainly not the taxpayer. Pump up the EBTers with megadoses of this shite and healthcare costs will plummet

I’m all about Reta, it is great, but the Anhedonia and random irritability does suck.

So let’s recap…

Big Pharma = evil.

But injecting a not-yet-FDA-approved molecule copied from somebody else’s billion-dollar R&D program, sourced from HoleLefrickRx with unknown QC, unknown sterility, unknown dosage, and a “trust me bro” validation process is apparently solid medicine?

Not saying it can’t have benefit. Hell, it very well might.

But if you get a serious side effect, contamination issue, or bad batch… who exactly are you calling? You gonna lawyer up against some overseas peptide supplier with a PO Box, a burner email, and a logo made in Microsoft Paint?

Good luck with all that.

Nearly everyone in this country will be on this drug or something similar in the next 5 years. This is the revolution in modern medicine that the undisciplined have been waiting for.

Sadly, if you aren’t building muscle in addition to the weight loss you are still going to look like shite. Skinny shite if you will.

there is some evidence that it may decrease muscle mass. But haven't seen anything regarding bone mass

I have been taking a low dose of 2 mg a week and making sure I eat 2k calories a day and have lost 20 pounds. Anybody taking 12 mg must feel like complete crap and can't even look at food. That is a crazy amount.


Same, I’m on week three and still haven’t gone above 1mg. Down 11lbs thus far. I think if anything I will eventually move to taking the 1mg twice a week. Just thinking about a 12mg dose is insane.

hyperbole

The majority of US citizens are still relatively fit and trim. The fats are more conspicuous because they take up more space per capita and the commercial environment is bending over backwards to accommodate them when they should be making it more restrictive

living in south LA I can understand the sentiment; everyone is fat. But that’s thankfully still not the majority

Perhaps you aren’t taking the 1 mg or 2 mg that you think you are taking? There’s really no way to know since there is no quality control or regulation. I’m glad it’s helping y’all, but that would scare the shite out of me.

There are other aspects to look at well. I just read where a large study was launched to study the effects that GLP’s have on Alzheimer’s and depression.

This is something I'd 100000% support government funding of for all people over a certain weight. Life without so many fatties would be great

again…dont care. I’m not fat nor on government assistance. The exponential strain on this country’s institutions and healthcare systems from 1/3 of its citizens being morbidly obese is not tenable. It is a public health crisis that dwarfs the COVID charade. It is real, it is getting worse, and it affects everyone regardless of BMI. Our lowest income people are the fattest, black white and brown. How this isn’t the biggest issue in front of our leadership is beyond my comprehension. We are the fattest nation on this planet and it is not going to solve itself. EBT should be conjoined with birth control and the fat vaccine. If you either get pregnant or increase your BMI while on EBT, end of benefits. No future side effects are anywhere close to the emergency right in front of our faces

Where are you getting it from?


Aminoclub.com

I know there are different places or importing is cheaper but this is a US site and prices aren't terrible. You get it in a few days and if you are only purchasing a few it isn't too expensive. You can use code WELCOME for 20% off.

Yeah right. I learned about peptides that can make me cut facets on a diamond from the OT years ago.

Yeah, that’s where I’m at with it. I’m 8 weeks and the meds are nestled in pretty good. That anhedonia is real. Not that it’s awful, not a ton of joy in much at the moment. Just a whole lot of “meh.” I’m sure it’ll all come back once I hit my goal. (Which I’m 13 lbs from reaching). After that, it’ll just be maintenance.
