Congratulations you're putting in more effort for worse results than if you took reta, no reason not to take it unless you're poor or stupid
I am taking Reta fucking loser i’m just saying there’s also merit in doing cardio

I should’ve known you weren’t capable of reading my original post

you must’ve forgot how fasted versus fed does not have any association with how it compares to Reta
Ahh I see, your back pedaling right now from your original stament:
don't speak unless you can back it up
ur opinion is worth none anyways i shouldn't have wasted my time linking these
And your right, you shouldnt have wasted your time linking studies you dont even understand yourself:cage:
totally separate issue on which you’re also wrong
"Dont speak unless you can back at it up" - Well since your speaking, could you back up how im wrong ? :bigbrain:
NIgga do you know discussions work ? YOU MADE THE STATEMENT, YOU PROVIDED THE SOURCES, YOUR SOURCES GOT DISMANTLED
(mind you he provided these sources thinking we weren't gonna read them)
Just to put it in perspective: Berberine is considered a cope supplement by some, but mathematically Mogs "fasted cardio" in terms of insulin sensitivity so does berberine also mog reta as well ?????? :ohhhh:
and if it weren’t for @@Circadex nobody would agree with you
Ah yes, lets attack the person but not the information, Classic evasion
Dont shift the goal the goal post now, when the naunce was already stated.
At the end of the day I have managed to net a far more impressive outcome than you on far less drugs and for that reason you should LDAR
JFL, when proven wrong, its always "show physique" Classic tik Tok comment section reasoning here from you

Your original claim was fasted cardio mogs Reta
If fasted cardio only boosted Insuline sensitivity by 1.5% as I’ve fucking shown. There shouldn’t even be a another comparison against Reta it’s common sense.
i’m just saying there’s also merit in doing cardio
*Fasted Cardio you mean, and no there's not as I outlined
I should’ve known you weren’t capable of reading my original post
^^^^^ Are you even reading your original post ??????, you keep shifting the goal post once again, now it's "merit in doing cardio" which no one was fucking denying, you where pointing at FASTED CARDIO specifically, stop Shiting and own your claim.

He thinks fasted cardio and reta are in the same league:

So pretty much you can still have the main benefits of Reta (insulin sensitivity) and also sum appetite suppression if you use caffeine or yohimbine with cardio.
Like JFL not even comparable in the slightest

I know you lazy bones hate to see this coming but I think daily fasted cardio mogs Reta to oblivion in net body composition outcomes

Ofcorse you can do both, and I am, but if I had to choose only one I would choose the fasted cardio daily. Main reasons being that fasted cardio improves insulin sensitivity significantly and doesn’t hinder appetite. Also most people on this forum I’ve seen wouldn’t hurt to put on some more muscle mass before getting shredded so they have something to show, there’s no reason to be pealed with a starter build it’s not impressive girls just think you have an eating disorder

So pretty much you can still have the main benefits of Reta (insulin sensitivity) and also sum appetite suppression if you use caffeine or yohimbine with cardio. Those will wear off by the afternoon where you can eat as many carbs as you can use for the lift, far more than you otherwise could on Reta, you just don’t like to hear it because it means building a mogger physique is less passive than inject this and don’t do anything else

As for the cardio you should do, it is 30min to 1 hour zone 2 cardio. This is low intensity steady state
reta is alright, but there are better things

2 thousand calorie deficit? What's your maintenance lmao

Anyways no; not at all. Reta makes harsh deficits less dangerous, so you may as well just take it anyways. 2k deficit just sounds suicidal

By a mile. Nothing even comes close

you can lose weight faster, but why? There's not much point unless you can't wait 3 months to get lean

yeah, i haven’t researched it tho because 2 weeks ago i got my bf measured, it came back at 11 percent, i dont know if i have to worry abt fat loss as much as some others would. for reference i also am a cross country runner in the fall, and i am top 50 in my state, so i have reason to believe i have a high metabolism. for a while i thought that dnp was the best weight loss drug. also is reta a glp 1 agonist?

but only downside to this is 1: if you do fasted cardio with your lift that means you’ll be running off no nutrients no carbs nothing, the performance of your lift is fucked. I’m assuming you meant in morning but tbh too lazy for ts so ima stick to my Reta

Yes, check out my guide in BOTB. Dnp is good weight loss drug, but hard to manage without risk unless you've researched it alot & relatively smart

Reta is glp3
There's no such thing

what is the mechanism of action?
It binds to 3 receptors; glucagon, GLP-1 receptor , and GIP.

GLP-1 Receptor (GLP-1R): Suppresses appetite and slows gastric emptying.

GIP Receptor (GIPR): Enhances insulin secretion and improves insulin sensitivity.

Glucagon Receptor (GCGR): Increases energy expenditure (thermogenesis) and enhances hepatic fat oxidation.

Reta is far more convenient and easier to learn than DNP, so i wouldn't say hand in hand


You're coping because you're wrong


indeed
By no means, it still stands fasted vs fed cardio isn’t what I was primarily arguing about, and that was the crux of his “gotcha”

And i physique mog you to gandy and have never taken more than test gh and glps
