Just pinned 1mg reta. Looking forward to contributing in here after lurking a few weeks.

45M 150# 66"

I started TRT last month after an 12 month keto cut.

Here's the start of the cut last year:

During that 12 months I tightened up my diet and exercise very successfully. I went from 190# to a low of about 135. I completely cut out all alcohol and nearly all carbs. Been lifting 3x weekly and cardio 3-4 days.

Here's the result of my 12 month cut

I recently started TRT and already put on 15 pounds this month. Some was water (for sure) but there was a bit of fat gained in there.

DEXA at the end of the cut put me at 10.7% BF

So, after a lot of research i decided to go the reta route moving forward.

I've always had issues with binge eating. Candy, sweets like cakes, cookies, donuts, etc. With Keto i was able to curb it relatively well but had my moments.

The food noise has gotten deafening though as i got loser to that 10% BF.

So will be closely watching macros, keeping protein high, and reintroducing clean carbs over the upcoming days.

Excited to be a part of this community and i hope to have some insights to share with everybody as i proceed.

Thanks for reading if you made it this far...
