no official dose
lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up
the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel
how much protein were people eating at maintenance compared to while losing
did anyone regret dropping the dose too fast
coming back to this protein went up during maintenance for me rather than down, which was completely counterintuitive
thats SELECT
how much regain did people get in the first 18 months after stopping
m0 118.4
m1 113.9
m2 110.2
m3 108.8
m4 108.1 <- the stall
m5 105.0
m6 101.6
m7 99.2👀7🔥3🧪1

does anyone lift specifically to hold onto muscle now that theyre maintaining
protein up not down
🙏3🔥1
lift twice a week
FLOW is the one where they stopped and it came back isnt it, has anyone read the actual numbers
weekly not daily
regain is expected
back_from_awaycoming back to this protein went up during maintenance for me rather than down, which…
how do people handle a two week holiday at a maintenance dose
thats fluctuation
no data on that
Recon calculator: 15mg in 2.5ml = 5mg/ml.
SURPASS-2 is the stopping one. weight came back on for most people once the drug stopped. that is the finding, not an opinion
dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly
maintenance is harder than losing because there is no number going down to keep you interested
did anyone drop the dose for maintenance or just stay where they were
the honest answer to is this forever is that nobody knows and the drug only works while you are taking it

harder than losing
come down slower than that
i came off for four months, put 90 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers
genuine question is there any trial data at all on a lower frequency schedule
set a trigger weight
😂1👀5
how long did people stay at treatment dose after hitting goal
im at goal and nobody has told me what happens next, whats the room doing
went back up, no regrets
[edited]is maintenance different between retatrutide and the others or is that all anecdote
