Expected Tesamorelin to work for visceral fat and it didn't (much)

Tesamorelin trials were in people with substantial VAT. Modest effect in people with modest VAT is actually consistent with the data. Drug works best where there's a lot to work on.

The FBG drift is predictable for any GHRH analog. Not a Tesamorelin-specific failure, just the GH/insulin problem again.

At that VAT level diet and training probably would have moved the needle more than Tes. Not a popular answer.

Yeah, in retrospect I didn't need the drug. Using it as a VAT tool in someone with moderate VAT was wrong tool wrong target.

Appreciate the honesty on a negative result. More of this, less of the 'miracle peptide' posts.

Tes at 2mg is the standard lipodystrophy dose. Did you consider a higher dose for a shorter cycle to see if the signal strengthens?

I didn't. Tempted but not enough to justify the side effect burden given the modest VAT target to begin with.

Honestly this is refreshing to see. Most people who run peptides don't come back and say "yeah that sucked" so you're already ahead. The HIV data looks incredible on paper but those guys had like 30+ kg VAT and full lipodystrophy, completely different animal than chasing the last bit of belly fat. Tes might just be a tool for people with actual metabolic dysfunction, not optimization for already-decent body composition.
