Summary
A 51-year-old man started reta and MOTS-c at the same time. Over four to five weeks he reported steady results: 3.5 kg of mostly midriff fat lost, reduced cravings, and maintained muscle while doing weights three times weekly on a high-protein diet. He noted queasiness after injections and itching at the MOTS-c site for a couple of days.
