Weight loss recommendations

[Mud]

Hi all, I've only just found that this forum exists whilst I've been lurking on Driadas site and telegram for some time. But I'll get right into what I'm dealing with.

So I'm 24 & 6 ft 2. Currently 113kg. About 2.5 years ago I weighed closer to 125-130kg and I was in much worse shape. Since then I've lost a considerable amount of weight + built a noticeable amount of muscle. Enough so that people see me and view me as someone who lifts and stuff, effectively I'm no longer in such bad shape that I'm just a fat guy, now I'm a guy that works out. Realistically tho I'm still fat as fuck, still feel and look obese when I'm topless. If I flex my arms and take a good picture I look lean and built but resting I look terrible.

This overtime has brought me to exploring peptides & Peds that could help me, such as clen & semaglutide. I was extremely tempted to get clean and begin a cycle to see if it would really accelerate my weight loss but the small handful of people I asked said no way, not worth the damage it'll do your heart etc and I took that advice. The problem is for me today is that I still can't stop myself binging. I'll workout consistently in terms of lifting and some boxing sessions, but I'll still knock back 3000 calories a day, sometimes going into horrendous numbers that I'm frankly embarrassed to admit.

Now I'm truthfully frustrated and developing a hatred for how weak I am in this regard. It's really really bothering me and affecting me in so many ways, namely mentally and socially. So I really want to seriously consider my options. Which has brought me back to exploring the use of clen, yohimbine and most recently I've started exploring Reta. I know this is a really general post, and perhaps even misplaced for a forum like this since you're all advanced and jacked people. But where do I go from here? What would you recommend. Should I say screw it and try Reta, am I looking too far and shouldn't risk the unknowns of Reta and try out a semaglutide pen? Maybe clean would be a good idea at this point? Or perhaps something different completely. Please advise .

P.s. I'm happy to share current body pics & progress if that helps answer any initial questions. But I'm still very fat even with the weight loss I've had already.

Thanks all

Oi Mud!

I‘d say do a Test Base at upper natty level or a bit above (250mg weekly) and add Semaglutide. That‘s it. You have quite a few weeks before maxing out the 2.5mg weekly.

What are you currently running? You can cut on Test + Sema for at least 24 weeks.

Yes, indeed, it might be worth adding one of the GLP-1 agonists, which can help reduce appetite. This is a real issue for many people, especially when all your energy and focus go into work, and you get tired, losing your willpower. When you also have to think about training and diet, it can really break your mindset. To make things easier, medications like semaglutide, retatrutide, and terzepatide were developed.

Actually, I would start with semaglutide without using testosterone, beginning with the minimum doses. First of all, it's cheaper, which allows you to save money. If semaglutide doesn't work for you, you can always try terzepatide or retatrutide. I would recommend a cycle of about 12 weeks to assess the results.

I’d also be curious to know how much protein and carbohydrates you’re consuming; perhaps adjusting the ratio of these macronutrients would help speed up fat loss.

If testosterone is needed, it can be added later, but I would avoid it in the first 12 weeks. Understanding that if you're prone to gaining weight, you most likely have a larger bone structure will help avoid unrealistic expectations. Using testosterone might even cause you to gain weight rather than lose it. There will be water retention, you'll get bigger, but this is probably not what you want at this stage.

Especially important when using testosterone is to monitor the results through blood tests. In your case, it’s crucial to track estradiol levels, because elevated estradiol will lead to even more water retention, making you bulkier, and you might look worse in the mirror than if you hadn’t used testosterone.

In conclusion, my recommendation is to try 12 weeks of semaglutide. If it works for you and you’re losing weight, aim to drop 10-12 kg, take photos, assess the results, and decide whether you need to use testosterone going forward.
