    IGF-1 and Low carb diet...

    hi all, im starting my cutting cycle/diet and was wondering the effects of taking igf while maintaining a low carb diet.the cycle looks as follows...

    wk 1-10 test prop 100mg ed
    wk 1-8 tren 75mg ed
    wk 1-8 mast 50mg ed
    wk 7-10 winny 50mg ed
    wk 1-4 50mcg igf pwo ed (followed by 4 weeks off, then 4 wks back on through pct.)

    im currently 6'3'' at approx. 240 @ 15% ish.
    my diet will resemble the "cutting sticky diet" slightly adjusted for my needs, yet i will keep my carbs low around 125g a day, with an hour of cardio a day. the question is will the igf have a negative affect on my blood glucose levels, considering how low they are? im extreamly sensative to carbs, we just dont get along when im cutting.Also, im not a big fan of having a simple sugar pwo, will this be necessary using the igf? thanks all for the help!

    As discussed via PM, your cycle looks good, you should get firm gains from it.

    125g of carbs p/day isn't much, and if you are using IGF1LR3, then be ready to experience a bit of hypo probably. Ensure you have some simple sugars on you post IGF injection. IGF doesn't effect your BG as much as insulin , but wit the amount of carbs you are having per day, you still may get some hypo symptoms. So as I said, make sure you have some simple sugars on hand after you have your IGF shot.

    I am just like you, the carbohydrates hate me and I hate them twice as much. As soon as I have some carbs, I feel and look fat. However, what you got to understand is wether you are using IGF or not, the consumption of simple sugars PWO is very important as it will help replenish glycogen. So some glucose + whey PWO is the key.

    Just see how you go and adjust consumption amount upon how you feel.

    Without carbs, IGF-1 turned me into a rag doll. I got HUGE headaches. Wasn't worth it

    thanks again gear for all the help.i will give it a test and tune and see how my body reacts.the only downside of pwo carbs is that i can shoot my igf pwo, but i always have to do my cardio pwo, secoundary to my job not letting me do it in the a.m. so perhaps i will do carbs after cardio? would that suffice? my main objective is losing body fat, but should put on some muscle with the cycle, so i may need to sacrafice some things here...thanks again guys.

    At the moment a friend of mine is shooting IGF immidietly PWO then doing cardio and is happy with the results.

    Just make sure you always have some carbs on you incase you feel hypo.
