With Botox and other injectables, its often necessary to come in every few weeks to maintain the results you want
IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) antagonize the activity of IGFs due to their high affinity to the IGF-1 receptor (227)
Rhonda Patrick: Yeah, I think four grams is
With peptides, you can be more aggressive: Traditional cutting: 300-500 calorie deficit (slow, muscle preservation) Lose 0.5-1 pound weekly Takes 16-24 weeks for significant fat loss With lean peptides: 500-750 calorie deficit (more aggressive) Lose 1-2 pounds weekly Peptides prevent muscle loss despite larger deficit Complete cut in 12-16 weeks Better results, faster timeline Finding your deficit: Calculate maintenance calories Subtract 500-750 calories Track weight weekly Adjust based on results Peptides give you more flexibility Protein requirements: 1-1.2g per pound bodyweight Higher than normal cutting (muscle preservation) Peptides help but protein still critical Spread throughout day Prioritize protein always Training while getting lean Resistance training priority: Maintain or increase training intensity Keep weights heavy (preserve strength) Moderate volume (recovery limited in deficit) 4-5x weekly sufficient Progressive overload when possible Cardio: Less is more With peptides, minimal cardio needed 2-3x weekly low-intensity (20-30 min) Optional fasted morning cardio Don't overdo - peptides do the work Save energy for lifting Recovery management: Sleep 8-9 hours (critical when cutting) Manage stress (cortisol kills progress) BPC-157/TB-500 if needed Deload every 4-6 weeks Listen to body See getting started with peptides for complete guidance
