Carb cutoff before GHRH injection — how strict

Protocol says no calories 2-3 hours pre-injection for GHRH compounds because elevated insulin blunts GH response. How strict does this have to be? Is 30 grams of carbs 90 min before going to kill my pulse?

Not kill, but meaningfully reduce. 30g carbs 90 min before pre-bed Ipa/CJC will cut your GH pulse roughly 30-50%. Protein/fat only are much less disruptive. The 2-3 hour rule is conservative — 90 min post-meal is acceptable if the meal wasn't carb-heavy.

The pre-bed dose is the one where you protect the window hardest. AM fasted is easier to get right. If midday dose is post-meal, that's the one to 'relax' on — still do it, just know it's weaker.

OK so dinner by 7:30, snack only if protein, pre-bed Ipa at 10. That works for my schedule.
