    OMG! I can *almost* fit in a normal towel!

    That's a great accomplishment. I'm looking forward to not needing to shop in the men's section for robes. I went to a spa once and had to ask for a larger robe because the women's sizes were too small. It sucks when you're traveling and the hotel only has one regular towel when you really need...

    OMG! I can *almost* fit in a normal towel!

    It's not dumb at all, sometimes the small, non-scale victories are the best ones.

    Booze on GLP-1s: A Cautionary Tale

    They should prescribe this stuff to problem drinkers! I had a single vodka and coke and woke up the next day feeling like I had the flu. It sucked for 48 hours. Same thing happened a few months later when I tried another drink. Never again.

    Ipam/Sermo vs. CJC/IPA... which to choose?

    Even HGH at higher doses than you can reach with secretagogues won't do much to preserve muscle by itself. It works much better with anabolic steroids, but alone, it's not as effective. Enough protein + some kind of muscle growth stimulus will prevent muscle loss and probably even build new...

    Halfway to goal!

    Honestly, I think it's a combination of things. The medication definitely helps suppress my appetite, but I've also been really focusing on eating healthier and exercising more. It's not just the medication, it's a lifestyle change.

    Ipam/Sermo vs. CJC/IPA... which to choose?

    Yeah, because it's a good idea. You can try a more complicated setup to boost your own GH naturally, or you can just dial in your response and set a steady dose.

    Ipam/Sermo vs. CJC/IPA... which to choose?

    2 IU should get most people to IGF-1 levels like someone in their 20s. 4 IU is what a teenager has. Some people respond better than others, but 3 IU or 4 IU will be supraphysiological for the majority of people here.

    Halfway to goal!

    Thanks! When did your cravings start to subside? I'm on week 4 and just bumped up the dosage. About halfway through the week, a few days before my next shot, the cravings come ROARING back. Sugary stuff, soda, wanting to overeat, etc.

    Halfway to goal!

    Down about 100 give or take over the last 5-6 months. Not gonna lie, it's been a constant uphill battle and I second-guessed myself constantly. But I didn't quit this time, like I've done in the past. This medication gave me that extra push I needed. If you're just starting and not seeing...

    HDL Up, LDL Down? Share Your Tips!

    I was using Chat GPT to try and get advice for myself, but remember to give it context about yourself: * what types of foods you like and what kind of lifestyle you live * and then tell it to imagine it's a highly trained and respected dietician, cardiologist, and men's health expert that is...

    HDL Up, LDL Down? Share Your Tips!

    It can be a temp thing with weight loss, right? Mine improved a bunch after my weight stabilized, but I also use red yeast rice, and it seems to help. It's got a similar active ingredient to statins, so gotta be careful if you're trying to avoid statin adverse effects. Otherwise, workout, drink...

    HDL Up, LDL Down? Share Your Tips!

    I just got blood test results back, which is why I made this thread, haha. Been on tirz for 3 months and lost about 28 lbs, and I'm eating better than before, but my diet still needs work. I think I'm relying too much on the appetite reduction instead of really focusing on nutritious meals. My...

    HDL Up, LDL Down? Share Your Tips!

    What's worked for you to get those HDL numbers up while dropping the LDL cholesterol? Any snack or meal staples for keeping cholesterol in check? I've been reading up on the benefits of whey protein and adding extra fiber, like with psyllium husk. What other strategies have you found effective?
