I suggest people do some research on the effects of increasing IGF-1 to hight levels. Having too high or too low IGF-1 has effects in your health. There is a sweet spot. This is a good description of the goods and bads of IGF-1. Surprising Truth About IGF-1 + Foods, Side Effects, Cancer - Selfhacked

I have cycled off using the IGF-1 enhancing peptides more than a month ago after reading several studies and actually my BF % has keep in decreasing, it is now 13.6%. I'll aim to keep my IGF-1 around 120-130. I believe there are safer ways to decrease BF% and viceral fat if that is ones goal, including Intermitent fasting and extended fasts. My main goal is health and longevity so I am doing what is healthier. I good book to read on this is "The Longevity Diet" by Valter Longo. Diets are also gene dependent so a person needs to adapt his/her diet based on genetics. Doing Keto blindly is risky. I learned this the hard way.

Lastly there are natural ways to increase IGF-1 as well is that is one's goal.
