Make your hGH and IGF-1 levels naturally SKYROCKET with little effort

[pantsbeer]

Anyone who's been on this site for more than 5 minutes knows how obsessed all these 14 yr olds are with using unnatural and unhealthy methods to increase hGH and IGF-1 levels. Have fun permanently fucking up your long term health and possibly shortening your lifespan as a result.

For those who are smart and wish to stay away from SARMS or other non-FDA approved enhancers, here is a pretty easy way to increase your hGH and subsequently IGF-1 levels NATURALLY.

The answer is very simple: start fasting. Every single day.

Why does fasting lead to increased hGH and IGF-1 levels?

As some of you know, Ghrelin is a gut hormone that tells our body to feel hungry. Whenever you feel hunger, it is because your body has produced Ghrelin. What many people don't know is that Ghrelin simultaneously encourages the production of hGh within the body. So when your body produces Ghrelin, it stimulates hGH production as well. And as it turns out, IGF-1 production is solely based on the levels of hGH present within your body, as IGF-1 is a hormone that your body produces to manage the hGH within it.

So, we are left with a simple flow of operations: Ghrelin is produced --> hGH is produced --> IGF-1 is produced alongside this hGH

Therefore, if we wish to naturally increase hGH and IGF-1 production, we must increase the amount of Ghrelin our body is producing on a daily basis. Since we know Ghrelin is produced when your stomach is empty to try and encourage your brain to find more food, this means we need to spend more time each day with an empty stomach. The solution, as mentioned, is fasting.

And yes, there have been many studies conducted in the past in which elongated hours of fasting (24 hrs+) led to hGH levels increasing FIVE FOLD. This is A LOT.

I am not telling you to start fasting for 24 hour increments, however, you should implement some sort of fasting regimen into your daily plan.

In my experience and prior knowledge with fasting, there is a certain threshold of hours that must be hit in order to reach the "peak fast" period. About 10 hours after your body has last ingested calories, it will reach the point where it has used up almost all of those calories (unless you ate an absurd amount), and will subsequently start producing Ghrelin at more frequent intervals as the survival instinct kicks in. We could refer to this 10 hour period as the warmup period. The way I have been able to make fasting as optimal as possible in the past is to try and align the end of this warmup period with around the time you wake up in the morning. This means by the time you wake up, your stomach will be pretty empty and ghrelin will start being produced almost immediately. Endure this for 4-7 hours, and then open your eating window, which can continue until around 2 hours before you plan to sleep (assuming you will sleep about 8 hours). Just as it is important to try and open the "peak fast" soon after/as you wake up, it is just as crucial to not open it too early. Trying to sleep when fasted is a terrible experience, so make sure you do not stop your eating window too many hours in advance of your sleep, or you may get insomnia (speaking from experience).

As for enduring those morning hours, drinking lots of water, black coffee (has to be black to avoid calories), or using nicotine can help suppress your appetite. Doing things to occupy your mind also helps time pass quicker. For those of you who eat breakfast every morning, it may take a week or two to get used to this, but it becomes pretty easy after a little bit of time.

You also need to be ready to shovel food down during the short eating window you have each day. Fasting should NOT affect the amount of calories/macros you had previously been consuming (unless you are also doing it to intentionally lower caloric intake). This means that if you had previously average 3000 calories a day throughout the whole day, you now have to consume this same amount throughout a much smaller window of time. I have never had issues with this personally; if anything it is more fun because you get to eat frequently during the window.

Remember that fasting to increase hGH and IGF-1 levels is meaningless if your body isn't getting enough calories and the proper macronutrients to work with in the first place.

You should tailor your own fasting plan to work with your schedule and current goals.

yes your body increases levels to maintain function and preserve lean mass because it isn't expecting to still ingest a sufficient amount of calories and macronutrients. That's the whole point of maintaining the same calories and macros that you reach without fasting, except during the eating window. This way you get increased growth hormone levels but still sufficient calories and macros as you would have without fasting. JFL have fun injecting

Hgh is released as a stress response during fasting.
If you want to grow igf-1 is what you need

 

[JohnDoe]

Intermittent fasting 20/4 or OMAD is what you're saying. I think the increase in hgh/igf1 is negligible tbh.

 

[pantsbeer]

Intermittent fasting 20/4 or OMAD is what you're saying. I think the increase in hgh/igf1 is negligible tbh.

yeah pretty much, except I find that OMAD is even too extreme. Studies show a spike in growth hormone levels throughout the morning hours of fasting, and then just a plateau afterwards. So for the sake of being realistic in terms of long term consistency, I think fasting for 13-15 hours (including the hours of sleep) is enough to get a natural boost of those hormones.

And yeah, something like this would never even come close to what can be achieved unnaturally, but even a small increase in these hormones over a long period of time compounds up to a lot. hGH is also comparable to creatine in the way that it works, where the effects of it really start to show after it loads in. IGF-1 is much more fast acting. So maintaining slightly higher hGh levels for the long term can lead to noticeable differences.

Fasting will reduce your igf1 levels by decreasing sex hormones, insulin and stuimulation of mTOR

Kind of a grey area. Yes, malnutrition decreases IGF-1, but fasting within reason hasn't been proven to. This is why I'm stressing the importance of still meeting your calories and macros.

Even if it was the case that periods of fasting have negative impacts on IGF-1 production, it would only occur during those first few hours when you are awake before you eat. And the net effects would still be positive.

You just not right, you need insulin for normal conversion of hgh to igf1. Intermittent fasting will drop your insulin which will cause less levels of igf1 even with enough calories, macros and high hgh levels

Have fun wasting your puberty and stressing yourself out trying to eat the proper amount of nutrients and calories in your 8 hour window while gaining no advantage from fasting this cope jfl

I'm not sure about growth but I fast until lunchtime and feel way less inflammation

fasting is horribly for growth

 

[AlphaLooksmaxxer666]

yeah fasting increases hgh by 2000%. If its combined with sprinting, hgh levels increases further.

[CalulArgintiu59]

I read fasting and I stopped , this is retarded, how could u benefit from a slight boost of HGH when that HGH doesn't convert into igf-1, it's pointless and when u fast the HGH rises a bit(not something crazy) and for the HGH to rise the igf-1 has to go down

 

[TheVictor]

Chat gpt’s response to this post -

The post contains a mix of accurate and potentially misleading information. Here's a breakdown:

1. Ghrelin and hGH Relationship: It's true that Ghrelin, sometimes called the "hunger hormone", plays a role in stimulating the secretion of hGH. Ghrelin does rise during fasting, which can, in turn, stimulate hGH production.
2. hGH and IGF-1 Relationship: hGH (human Growth Hormone) stimulates the liver to produce IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1). Higher hGH levels will typically lead to higher IGF-1 levels.
3. Fasting and hGH Production: There are studies that have shown an increase in hGH levels during prolonged fasting. The mentioned "FIVE FOLD" increase is a figure that's been reported, but the exact magnitude can vary.
4. Fasting Recommendations: The poster's recommendations about fasting for certain durations and timings are more anecdotal than evidence-based. Fasting can be a part of a healthful lifestyle for some people, but not for everyone. Fasting isn't just about increasing hGH and IGF-1; it has other metabolic effects, and it's not suitable for everyone. For instance, it might not be appropriate for those with certain medical conditions, such as diabetes.
5. Sleep Issues: The claim about insomnia when trying to sleep on an empty stomach is anecdotal and may not apply to everyone.
6. Appetite Suppression Methods: Black coffee can suppress appetite, but the claim about nicotine is concerning. Using nicotine, especially as a hunger suppressant, can lead to addiction and other health risks. It's not recommended.
7. Caloric Intake: It's correct that fasting shouldn't be confused with calorie restriction. If someone fasts but then doesn't eat enough during their eating window, they could end up with a caloric deficit, which might not be their intention.
8. Potential Risks: Overemphasizing the increase of hGH and IGF-1 might be misleading. While these hormones have beneficial effects, they also have potential downsides. For instance, excessive IGF-1 has been associated with certain types of cancers.

Conclusion:While the post provides some correct information about the effects of fasting on hormones, it combines that with some anecdotal advice and potentially risky recommendations (e.g., nicotine use). As always, before making any significant changes to one's diet or lifestyle, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional or nutritionist

This increased HGH is to prevent your body from eating your muscles.
It s not for your bones.

I have no experience in acquiring drugs of this caliber. Ask someone who did, also it's really expensive.

If you're not past puberty mk-677 could give you up to a 40% boost in high production, but I have no experience with these compounds so do you own research

 

[Deleted member 40986]

jfl at anyone who believes in this method for OLDCELLS deficient in hgh. Read that again. Deficient. It wont push you further enough to grow. Also this is cope.

 

[Deleted member 40986]

Jfl at niggas believing in this when it is for 49 year old people DEFICIENT in hgh. Read that again.

If you are still growing DONT DO THIS. You will stunt yourself from lack of nutrients. Even if you somehow shove them all up in a 3 hour window it wont work. Trust me. I know people who tried and failed.

 

[last sxmmer]

what if someome will make an experement wit this method where they get check their IGF-1 levels evry day. From what i read in comments people have diffrenet opinion about HGH which will be raising while fasting

Trying to sleep when fasted is a terrible experience, so make sure you do not stop your eating window too many hours in advance of your sleep, or you may get insomnia (speaking from experience).

As for enduring those morning hours, drinking lots of water, black coffee (has to be black to avoid calories), or using nicotine can help suppress your appetite. Doing things to occupy your mind also helps time pass quicker. For those of you who eat breakfast every morning, it may take a week or two to get used to this, but it becomes pretty easy after a little bit of time.

You also need to be ready to shovel food down during the short eating window you have each day. Fasting should NOT affect the amount of calories/macros you had previously been consuming (unless you are also doing it to intentionally lower caloric intake). This means that if you had previously average 3000 calories a day throughout the whole day, you now have to consume this same amount throughout a much smaller window of time. I have never had issues with this personally; if anything it is more fun because you get to eat frequently during the window.

Remember that fasting to increase hGH and IGF-1 levels is meaningless if your body isn't getting enough calories and the proper macronutrients to work with in the first place.

You should tailor your own fasting plan to work with your schedule and current goals.

The problem with fasting is that you won't have protein to create IGF-1.
IGF-1 causes longitudinal bone growth. Low IGF-1 equals no height growth.

Intermittent fasting with a high protein diet is a much better strategy.
