Reta - Too Low of Dose?

My wife an I started using Reta exactly 6 weeks ago. We both carried some fat and pounds but neither would be considered heavily overweight. We started at 0.5 a week and actually splitting that into two 0.25 doses on Sun and Wed. We've had improvements and don't want to up the dose. We're actually wondering about just sticking wit 0.25 a week. Any suggestions on what is too low?

One reason to consider lowering is to help eat a bit more. Both of us are struggling to eat enough food and especially protein in a day unless it's in a shake. I prefer to get most of my protein from real food and maybe 1 serving via powder/OTC shake.
 
Are you saying 0.25mg? I would imagine that would not do anything at all. 2mg to 5mg is a low effective dose. In the studies they started at 2 mg and they worked their way up to 12 mg.

I told people to cap it at 4 to 5 mg for various reasons but the dose you are using is way too low I'd even venture to say you're probably just wasting it
 
Also what are your protein goals that you're struggling to hit your numbers?

Three eggs with a serving of shredded cheese and some vegetables and a glass of lactose free milk will give you 35gm protein

8 oz of cooked lean beef or chicken with a serving of baked potato or rice and a vegetable is another 55 to 65g of protein.

Could have another 6 to 8 oz with a big salad for dinner for another 50-60gm.

Those 3 meals alone get you 150gm. Add a post workout shake for another 40-50gm
 
You could try making yourself some overnight oats bowls, or a cup of Greek yogurt and a serving of high protein granola for a tasty high protein pre-workout meal
 
I mean if you are getting results, no need to go up right? placebo or not. I think 4mg is a good lowish dose because I believe this is where you get the glucagon activation, so more fatloss benefits. I think 8mg+ is where people get the most out of it and the 3 pathways activate properly, but you got to play around with the doses, sounds like youd have to slowly build up or never get to that tbh
