Hey there friends, had a bit of a question for anyone wiser than me!
I'm currently prepping for a show, and I have been doing a ketogenic diet. I have kept carbs between 0 and 10 for the past month, and I have indeed seen good results. I recently (about 2 days ago) started my IGF-1 LR3 Cycle (80mcg Bilaterally, post workout). Now I've been reading that IGF works better in the presence of carbs, so I actually have sort of 'strayed' from keto, and started doing about 40-50 carbs post workout with my injection. Now this still actually keeps me in the threshold most define as still being in keto as usually they say keep carbs under 50 for per day. My question is, am I really making the most out of my IGF? Is what I am doing enough, or would a better approach to keep shredding be to raise my carbs up, lower fats and just focus on mainly the caloric deficit to lose the more body fat? Or can a ketogenic diet and IGF-1 work in-sync?
Thank you for any input, I realize this might possibly not be the smartest question, but I'm here to learn.
