Tesamorelin cycle

[tarmyg]

Hi everyone,

I haven't seen anyone on here run a Tesamorelin cycle, and I have wanted to test this for some time. I spent a lot of time (probably an excessive amount) researching it, and as this is purely for fun ($2,200 of fun), I am following the exact protocol of one of the studies I found. I am keeping my diet at a maintenance level of about 3000-3200 calories/day. Tesamorelin is taken at 2mg/day; on average, people lose around 15-20% of their body fat. So, the goal is to run this and see if body fat is lost while eating like usual. My diet is decently detailed, so macros are around 330g of Carbs, 80g of fat, and 242g of protein.

I will measure weight and waist size, and that's it. Body fat on the scale is so off it is not worth it. A typical cycle is 26 weeks (182 days), and I am starting at 100 days and will reevaluate once I close in on days 80-90 to see if I should buy more and continue. The total cost of a cycle like this would be close to $4,400, so I hesitate to complete the process.

Starting Monday, I'll drop in my values then and keep updates to about one/week.

If you goal is to reduce BF% you can do it by customizing your nutrition and cardio.

For way less than 4 grand.

I JUST TODAY reconstituted the single vial of tesamorelin that I have on hand. I will get nothing from it, I suppose, but I thought I had some Mod-GRF 1-29 to go with the Ipamorelin I also reconstituted today.

I really ought to take a more thorough inventory of what I have on hand...

Agreed. Not the point of this cycle though. Think of this as purely “because I can” as I sort of alluded to in my intro.

Measuring a bit below the belly button where I keep most fat.

91.5 cm or ~36in

[tarmyg]

Pretty easy peasy to inject this stuff. Measurements are the same as last week.

[tarmyg]

Seems a bit less than 91.5 cm or 36” but measuring body and not radiation so keeping it at the same as last week.

[tarmyg]

90.5 cm

Moved measuring day to Thursdays

Has the tesamorelin done anything for you other than fat loss? Are you sleeping better, have more energy, and / or shagging cinder blocks into dust?

In one word, No. I have not noticed anything, to be honest, but maybe I should have. I guess I'm finishing week five now, so almost half way through what I planned.

[tarmyg]

89.5

[tarmyg]

88.5. This stuff works, is my conclusion, and I’m halfway through.

[tarmyg]

86.5 This AM.

[Cylon357]

86.5 This AM.

So if I do my metric conversion right, it sounds like you have lost right at 2 inches?

You and professor Google agrees

[tarmyg]

Still 86.5 but legs seem more veiny.

[tarmyg]

Amazingly dropped another .5 cm. Been traveling a lot for work this fall and I never bring gear so have a couple of more weeks to finish this out. I’ll try to take some fancy new.pics when done.

Appreciate the big brain journal, thanks tarmyg!

Interested to egg you on and ask for your thoughts regarding adding ipamorelin?
