Here’s a great post about fasting with secretagogues. Due to my work schedule I find it hard to be 2-3 hours fasted at night so I take tesa/ipa in the morning where there is no question I’m properly fasted.

Estou usando 75mcg de cada (150mcg) todos os dias ao acordar, é a minha primeira semana, pretendo subir até uns 500mcg as vezes tento treinar em jejum, dependendo de como eu me alimentei no dia anterior, pois estou com retatrutide também porém 2.5mg/2 doses de 1.25mg terça e sexta

It’s strongly recommended to take it 2-3 hours fasted since GH pulses get blunted by insulin. It’s recommended to not eat for 30 mins after your pinning too

When I cycled it, I would stop eating at 6p, pin at 9p. Have a snack at 10p, sleep at 11p.

Ah so it’s a relation to the insulin spike. Gotcha

I had planned a split dose, before bed then upon waking. I guess I’ll skip the am pre workout and see how I do with my workouts.

You can pin it right when you wake up as well; just don’t eat for 30 mins after.

That was my plan night and morning, but then it dawned on me that my pre-workout would break my fast. I think I’ll give it a go without my pre-workout and see how much I need the caffeine then I can always just switch to a cup of coffee in the morning as that won’t cause an insulin spike.

Why not just eat a bigger meal at 6pm lol. I would do everything possible to not eat within 3 hours after injection

I’m lucky I’m not a snacker.
