Saturday cheat days while on a GLP-1 — yay or nay?

Saturdays are my danger zone. Pizza night with the kids, brunch with friends — two big social meals back to back. On sema I can push through the fullness and then regret it all Sunday. Do you allow a planned cheat day while on a GLP-1, or does the appetite suppression make cheat days pointless? Curious how people frame it.

My experience with retatrutide was different. I didn't get the energy boost others mention. Weight loss was similar to tirz for me. The triple agonist sounds great in theory but didn't make a huge difference for me personally.

I've been at 5mg for 6 months now. The jump from 2.5 to 5 was noticeable — more appetite suppression but also more nausea for the first two weeks. It settled down after that. I'd say go for it if you're stalling at the current dose.

I switched from sema to tirz about 3 months ago. Big improvement in appetite suppression and fewer side effects. Down 26 lbs since switching. Everyone's different but for me it was the right call.
