Frequently Asked Questions
Will Whole30 diet interfere with Retatrutide?
No. A well-balanced eating pattern supports and typically enhances medication effectiveness.
What if I have no appetite?
Even when not hungry, try small, nutrient-dense meals to prevent muscle loss. Protein shakes can help on difficult days.
Should I count calories?
Not required for most patients on Retatrutide, since appetite reduction naturally creates a deficit. Tracking protein intake (0.7-1g per pound daily) is more helpful.
