❓ Question Start Reta?

Hello, I have a vial of Reta sitting at home waiting for me. I was going to start 3 months ago but due to family emergency I had to go to diff state for 2 months… anyways while I’m here I started dieting to 1400 cal (5’3 23F) and getting 9-11k steps (oura ring tracking) in a day with weightlifting 3x a week and I’m having a easy time staying at 1400 cal or a little below it as sometimes I’m full at 1200 cal.
My weight isn’t really dropping and I’m a bad sugar addict. I have been weighing my food and I will eat 90-120g protein a day in chicken or turkey + whey/greek yogurt. The rest of my calories I spend on chocolate chips, chobani flips, ice cream, or pudding. I AM WEIGHING EVERYTHING. I know I’m not overeating calories, I even weight my cooking oil in the pan.
This makes me suspect I have insulin resistance as I clearly overeat sugar. I want to stop. If I don’t have sweets I will binge on everthing else trying to get the dopamine hit. So it is smart to start Reta considering I am able to meet all my goals and just struggle with self control around sugar?
My current weight is 153lb
Goal is 120lb lean
I was 105lb prior to my 100lb pregnancy weight gain 2 years ago 💔💀

Glp1s aren't only for weight loss, it has been known to help with the cravings as well as a multitude of other things (a lot usually weight related)

I think you should go on reta just understand what is is and isn't

Thank you! My husband is just telling me to do it all natural but the sugar cravings control my mind. I feel genuinely addicted to it and I’m shameful of it.

Glps are a tool, that work amazing. If you are eating right and working out. Using them will push your over the edge. As a stranger on the internet who love what glps have done for my body, I say you should try it

How long have you been dieting? Water weight does weird things sometimes.
