I recommend adding in beans and/or potatoes. I prefer beans due to the additional fiber.

There’s increasing studies but the affect it has on brains reward centers and associations with dopamine reduces the reward and lack there of that causes people to reach for their vice. The reduction of associated dopamine hits is what makes people less likely to eat drink smoke etc.

| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | Happy to see more scientific discussion here. Love this stuff.
A few comments:
The phase 2 Retatrutide data show early liver fat reduction, but that doesn’t prove tachyphylaxis of glucagon signaling. The trial only measured MRI-PDFF at 0, 24, and 48 weeks, so timing of any plateau is unknown. The pattern could reflect physiologic saturation of hepatic fat loss, not receptor | COMMUNITY | — | 2025-10-25 |
| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | It doesn’t all work for everyone. Look at the studies and you’ll see a bell curve. Tirz is very effective for some people and not at all for others.
Statistically, Retatrutide is probably your best bet, but it’s not FDA approved yet, and it’s still in testing, so there are certainly some unknowns regarding long term health. The same can be said if Cagrilinide.

| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | Well that’s because Retatrutide and semaglutide are two different molecules. Semaglutide has 31 amino acids in a chain, whereas Reta has 39 amino acids in its chain. Their chains have multiple differences. It’s not just a straight gip/glp chain with more stuff added on to the end, their makeups are just different. | COMMUNITY | — | 2025-10-24 |
