**Going low-carb on reta because someone told you carbs "waste it"? Read this first. 👇**

Here's the mix-up everyone repeats: *"retatrutide is glucose-dependent, so you need carbs or you're wasting it."*

Half true. Glucose-dependent just means reta releases insulin only when your blood sugar's already up — that's a **safety feature**, not the fat-loss switch. The actual fat loss comes from less appetite + a real calorie deficit. Carbs or not.

So no, low-carb doesn't "waste" your reta.

But I still keep good carbs in — on purpose:
🍠 they fuel the hard training that keeps muscle on me
🌾 they keep digestion moving (reta loves to slow your gut down)
🫐 they keep my energy up so I actually stick to it

And the thing that matters most? **Protein still leads — aim for ~1g per lb of bodyweight.** Everything else is supporting cast.
