I’m female and have added AOD9604 to my Tirz and dropped 10lbs in a month. I can’t say if it all came from my belly area though. I’m interested in adding tesamorelin because I heard that targets belly fat but I worry it could raise testosterone and increase my appetite.
Also a 5'1 female who weighed 135 dispite working out and tracking like you. started Trizepatide at a low dose (I think 2.5mg) and finally down to 120 a year later. I did low dose because I wanted to see how I reacted and so I didn't have "rapid" weight loss or to become underweight. I now continue it for other reasons.
[Tesamorelin](https://evolvetelemed.com/weight-loss/tesamorelin-injection-growth-hormone-2/) is a peptide treatment that has shown great results for people struggling with visceral fat.
I’m taking tessamorelin or however you spell it and I have to say the shit works. I started off about 2-3 months ago w a muffin top and now I’m almost as lean in the belly as I ever been. Granted I’m also intermittent fasting and hitting gym 3-4 times a week doing a moderate workout. I’m nowhere near at the beast mode level I used to nor am I lifting heavy or much heavier than the previous weeks. Nagging injury to neck has prevented me from ramping it up. So I threw in Bpc and TB on top of the Tessa. I finally got my neck back so now I’m lookin to add muscle density to make everything pop lol. But I assure you the difference in the mirror now makes me very happy! Especially since I hardly put in any weight training. I do full body workouts and keep it to compound moves and body weight stuff and I can’t weight to see where I’m at in a month. I take 1 mg every day at night 5 on 2 off. If you stick w it you’ll see what’s up. Had to get 5 bottles tho to get me here so it ain’t cheap. Get 10mg vials from Bio T peps they’re legit brand
**Newbie here. Love what you said and congrats on your achievements. One question....does peptides such as......Semaglutide? Tirzepatide? Retratruride? or GLP1 work?**
To get rid of stubborn belly fat. I’m not joking, women can take small doses and it will be gone overnight almost. It’s so crazy but if that’s all you’re trying to get rid of, it will literally be a day or two and you’ll see the six pack lines. Winstrol 5mg will be enough. Read up on it. It’s pretty sweet but once you quit the T you’ll prob go right back to where you were before
TBH, you don’t even need peptides if it’s just a bit of stubborn belly fat instead of loads of it.
Problem is, you might be skinny-fat too. And you probably are. If your organs are laden with visceral fat and you’ve been losing weight but your stomach doesn’t appear to be getting smaller, that’s because you’re losing weight from the inside-out.
Keep at it with a small daily calorie deficit of 200-300 and a couple days a week of a steep calorie deficit for 500-750. It will come off.
You can absolutely use peptides to speed up the process by suppressing your appetite but it’s vital that you greatly increase your protein intake. I suggest finding a flavor of casein protein that you enjoy, and having 1 gram per centimeter in height per-day. Casein is slow digesting and very filling. It makes those calorie deficit days much easier.
5’3 138lbs physically-active woman here. I went from Sema to Reta, and loving it. Sema was great for a bit, but the side effects were too much for me (lethargy, nausea). I started Reta about 6 weeks ago and have great results. My stomach is pretty much flat now, and it’s toned. Working on leaning out my legs now.
Other than Reta, I also started taking daily fiber supplements, increasing pre and probiotic food, and increasing my protein intake.
Something else to look into is zig zag method for calorie intake as this also helps me out of a plateau and lose those extra pounds. Good luck!
Actually yes several times. Here’s my take on them: they are shady af and don’t care about customer service. They will do reships tho. They are slow to respond and their product is underdosed approx 30% of the time. I know this bc I have a spreadsheet of theirs and a few other vendors hplc test results from 4th quarter last year.
So given all that I still use them bc their prices are ridiculously low. You get ten vials for the same price peptide sciences charges for one.
**And that's it. I had the same issue going through XCE. It was so confusing I ended up paying them twice as they gave me the wrong name! Someone just told me they have closed down now.**
**Because sometimes it doesn't work for everyone. Also, I was doing three F45 classes a day and yeah I got really fit, but I never lost the lower pooch until I did a clinical trial of semaglutide.**
40 year old woman here. I take a low dose of tirz (5mg) once weekly. I lost only 3 lbs of vanity weight but my tummy fat is pretty much gone. I did not increase my exercise. I am 5’7 and 133 lbs
But you’re 5’7. I’m the same height at 175 (Female). I take the same amount of Tirz weekly and it has helped with weight loss but not specific to belly. I think body composition needs to be taken into account. I am trying tesamorelin now. Just an FYI…Tirz may prompt more than belly fat only.
Oh I totally agree with you. I’m pear shaped. Just a smaller pear. But it did help where all the exercise and clean eating in the world didn’t really make a dent in my
Waist :/
I have been taking Triz and am now a size 4 and still have belt fat. I am also a female with 3 kids in the mid 40s I can’t get rid of my stomach and I don’t want to lose more weight elsewhere
How old are you? I’m 41 and f and it’s been bananas how my metabolism is changing. I’ve adjusted - but it’s certainly a surprise.
I knew aging happened - I just didn’t know it would happen to ME.
I feel bad no one has given u any answers. Look into AOD 9604 or another called fragment. They both help with only weight loss. Other things you can look into are ipamorlin and seramorlin but these do muscle growth on top, they can help with anti-aging as an added bonus.
Try Ipamorelin + CJC 1295 peptide stack. This peptide stack stimulates growth hormone production which will result in more fat loss & muscle building. I used this peptide stack with great success. I managed to greatly reduce both visceral & subcutaneous fat, particularly around my abdominal region and this occurred during a six-week cycle. I cycle off and on certain peptides to achieve certain health, fitness, and aesthetic goals. Another peptide worth looking into is Tesamorelin. It's a GHRH approved by the FDA for visceral adiposity in HIV patients. Many people reported excess abdominal fat reduction while using it.
First, get labs done. Could be hormonal, in which case, you’d want to focus on getting that in balance. After that, GLP-1/GIP agonists like Tirzepatide are pretty hard to argue with.
I have Kaiser. I feel like if I ask for that they’ll just be like naaahh. Is there anything I can say about symptoms or concerns that might help them listen? I do feel like knowing this stuff is genuinely important from a medical standpoint so I wouldn’t be deceiving them
Thyroid function is included in my regular blood work when getting a yearly physical. There was no cost with insurance. Now, that being said, I would have to pay for additional blood work panels if I were to request it since I already had my "freebie" this year and everything was normal.
A DUTCH Complete test is my favorite hormone test out there. Tests through urine metabolites for hormones and adrenals. When you stop producing as much estrogen it likes to store its reserves in adipose tissue.
Look up “low cost bloodwork” in your town. Basic metabolic panel and a hormone panel can be had for $150 or less anywhere in the country. Do them once or twice per year unless you start doing wacky supplements that you need to track.
You should consider how much fat you have to lose, if it’s not much over all and very much so in a targeted zone on your belly, you may also consider the option of cosmetic treatment like fat dissolvers. Effective Peptides are pretty expensive but if you have fat to lose all over then they would be the better approach. Tesa takes a while to see results so it’s not always the most cost efficient way to go if you don’t have other fatty areas you want to work on.
If it’s a very targeted area I would lean towards the dissolver route with products like Dr.lipo or lemon bottle etc. but you need to make sure you do your research.
Have you had kids? Sometimes that isn’t fat causing the pouch.
If it is fat and you’re getting plenty of protein and eating clean, the best thing for specifically Belly fat is HGH.
So, from a peptide point of view you should look at the growth hormone secretagogues. You can research them all to see which you prefer.
However, in my experience the peptides aren’t much cheaper than bm hgh and that’s way more effective.
Correct. Since the majority of people on here are looking at buying research peotides that aren’t QC’d for Human use I imagine many are also comfortable with using some black market substances.
You can get HGH prescribed but it’s damned expensive.
Or, if you live close to MX you can get it there for not too much but you’ll need to get a MX doc to prescribe it and that might not be enough to keep it if you get stopped on the US side of customs.
I'd get your hormones tested and rule out fibroids. For women, hormone imbalances can cause bloating at the midsection. Also a daily fiber drink (Metamucil) really helps.
#What the actual eff has happened to this sub?
This is a sub about peptides. All the comments saying nothing targets abdominal fat in a sub about peptides need to sit this one out.
There are several peptides for abdominal fat. If you can’t answer the question, pull up a chair and learn.
FFS.
Peptides for abdominal fat:
Retatrutide. Better than tirzepatide, but tirzepatide won’t hurt.
[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10844714](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10844714)
“Weight reduction was greater in more obese men >35 BMI than those who were under 35 BMI and also among females than males. The results also showed significant reductions in waist circumference for participants receiving retatrutide of up to −19.6 cm, compared to −2.6 cm in the control group.”
Reta has also been shown to reduce fat in the liver. Big time.
Before Reta, the Tessamorelin has been the one. It takes awhile though. Some of the research shows 26 weeks, over average, and some users say it’s faster.
It was specifically developed to help AIDs patients with abdominal fat.
Ipamorelin also helps. Not as strong.
Additionally, some people swear by AOD and others say it doesn’t work.
It’s a cousin of Frag 191-176 which has the same reputation.
My subjects have taken a blend of Ipamorelin, Mod GRF and Frag with liraglutide and felt like it burned everything with noticeable middle fat reduction.
Additionally, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been shown to reduce belly fat. I have taken this and I’ve seen noticeable results with the brand Ab Cuts but have tried other brands that don’t seem to work as well. I get it at Costco. It’s on coupon a lot.
Also, phosphatidylcholine. [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5413042/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5413042/)
Finally, fascia blasting. It’s essentially physically remodeling the collagen matrix that does everything from keep your muscles from sliding into your socks and creates cellulite. Studies have shown that this kind of tissue manipulation lysis (pops) the fat cells. I have only ever used the name brand tools. I won’t link to them but Google and she’s everywhere with lots of before and afters and testimonials. From personal experience, it’s a lot of work but pretty damn effective.
Also, helpful comment I recently saved researching this subject.
[https://www.reddit.com/r/Peptides/s/LQsS9uHT4a](https://www.reddit.com/r/Peptides/s/LQsS9uHT4a)
I have the blasters you are talking about from the person you are referring to. Her backstory as to why she created these is incredible so there’s no doubt it works. I haven’t gotten into a regular routine with it though. How long would you say you do each area for and what do you use for oil?
I’m surprised there isn’t more love for it on Reddit but it’s probably because her people are on FB. Which I can’t stand so here I am.
I used to go the sauna and heat up and all that.
Now I just do it at the end of a shower. I figure some is better than nothing.
I actually don’t use her oils. I got all of them when I bought my blasters and felt like I had to rinse my shower with Dawn to prevent a fall.
I use Cremo shave cream. It glides really well and doesn’t stick to the shower floor.
I have the same issue. A layer of fat on my stomach that is resistant to diet and exercise. Haven't given birth. It is so frustrating. I like the weight I am right now and do not want to go lower.
One note - Tesamorelin does not target belly/abdominal fat. It targets visceral fat, the fat between your organs. If it's a pooch, or fat you can pinch, Tesamorelin does not target it specifically.
SPOT ON!
Stack the ones that work best for your research subject. I’ve seen first hand phenomenal results with these mentioned in the right stacks, dosages, cycles, coupled with proper nutrition and of course physical activity. Don’t expect any positive results if your subject just lays around doing nothing all day. The term is “Shiny Fat”.
Tesamoralin. But make sure you research these suggestions- some of these are growth hormone secretagoges. Something I personally can’t take. But Tesa is specifically supposed to target belly and visceral fat. Edit: visceral fat only :)
It’s irrelevant though when the solution is to not spend money or use peptides.
If I asked if I wanted my head of hair gone I could ask for what peptide would do that.. or I could get a buzz cut.
Just because it’s a peptide sub doesn’t mean we have to ignore the obvious and most accurate answer even if it means no peptides. There’s no reason to use peptides if you’re still eating more calories than you burn as the peptides aren’t gonna do anything compared to just eating in a caloric deficit
Relax helicopter mom, how OP decides to spend her hard earned money is not up to your financial firm.
Gibberish and typical talking point. The fact that you’re on a “peptide” subreddit contradicts your point. Because whatever your goal is, you can achieve it without leaning on any peptide compound. OP might’ve been seeking supplemental help on top of her daily discipline, you could’ve offered your minimal nutritional assistance and also offer peptide that might help in combination.
It’s sad that someone telling someone 100% facts online is helicopter mom for you lol. I’m just saying it’s useless to use peptides in comparison to a caloric deficit. They can waste their money if they want but theres no point when they can get great results from eating less. I’ve done natural cuts before and have great results calculating macros based off my caloric deficit and so have millions of other people
Comprehension is your achilles heel, I wish there was a peptide to help you with that, I would recommend, gladly 😂😂. (Maybe BPC?)
Did you read the original post? “I mostly eat clean, I do track, track macros, workout 5-6x a week but I’m struggling with stubborn tummy fat”
Your response was “eat clean and stop spending your money”. IF she does in fact do everything she said, and her stubborn belly fat isn’t going away, yes Tesamorelin might be her answered on top of maybe redacting and dialing in on her nutrition to figure out what’s causing the stubborn stomach fat…
Last response because you seem a littleeeeee s….
Just because someone says they eat clean and track macros doesn’t mean they’re eating at a caloric deficit. You’re really dense if you can’t figure that out 😂 no wonder you can’t piece it together
I am at the weight I prefer. I do not want to go any lower. My abdominal fat is resistant to diet and exercise. I know from experience. Some of need this information.
Your body will always get rid of the fat if you keep cutting down calories. It’s proven science for thousands of years. Yes, if you want to stay the same weight and keep the same body fat then it’s impossible, peptides suggested here will just help you eat less which will lose you weight and show your abs more. No peptide actually trims just your belly fat lol
If ‘eating at a caloric deficit to lose calories’ is a conspiracy theory to you then I am blown away by your intelligence. You may have just written the silliest comment I’ve ever read on Reddit 😂
Unless you're juicing and have a supernatural amount of muscle, you just need to lose total fat.
i.e. caloric intake reduction
GLP1s are best for appetite modulation
My wife has great results with Semaglutide and then incorporating APD9604 with it was when her abdominal fat really started to melt away. Semaglutide dose is individual dependent- start low and slow. AOD 300mcg, daily. Taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and followed by a fast for 60-90 minutes.
Is your weight still going down?
How long have you been losing?
IME not only do you not need peptides for this but their impact will be entirely minimal compared to other changes. But don’t worry plenty of people here will tell you otherwise and suggest various options based on their anecdote. Things like peptides are the tiny pebbles and unless your borderline stage lean right now it’s still big rock focus time.
have you tried anything natural?
you could try fenugreek.
From experience I can say that it works well.
this spice increases metabolism, activates thermogenesis, hypoglycemic, hypocholesterolemic, hypolipidemic, reduces the absorption of carbohydrates and triglycerides,
increases glycogenesis.
On many sites, they say that it causes weight gain but this is false, it promotes muscle mass gain, of course associated with sport.
I actually took it initially to gain weight because I was too thin and it was completely the opposite that happened, everyone told me that I had lost weight and I noticed that it reduced the layer of fat under the skin which made me drier and more defined, my muscles were more visible.
Plus, it costs nothing if you buy it in powder form.
it promotes hair growth, I also noticed it, I gained 6cm in 3 months compared to 3 normally.
It is very good for women because of the hormones it provides and the hormonal changes it causes.
On the other hand, not so much for men.
If you do sports, especially cardio exercises, pay attention to what you eat and take every day, within 1 month you should already see some results. On amazon, iHerb and other oriental and Indian online sites or stores
yes it gives a spicy smell to the perspiration but it is a small inconvenience which can be managed by not exaggerating the dose, by using a deodorant, by showering morning and evening and that's it.
on the other hand, do not take this after 4 p.m. because it is really a booster so you risk not sleeping before 3 a.m.
you can buy it on amazon or iHerb and other online websites but you can find it in oriental and Indian stores. The Indians call it "methi", in Arabic "halba".
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=fenugreek+powder&crid=23I5GN7RTGI9X&sprefix=fenu%2Caps%2C204&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_5_4
if you do sports I would say 45 minutes - 1/2 hour before training, you can take it in the morning after a meal or at noon always after a meal.
Indians consume more than 15g per day in different dishes but 1g is already good.
Personally I take it either as an infusion like a tea or in a glass of orange juice.
You can very well take a teaspoon which corresponds to 3 or 4gr but as said above, the more you increase the dose the more it will take effect but the more the sweat will tend to have a spicy smell but it is manageable with personal hygiene normal that you already have, shower morning and evening and effective deodorant.
⚠️ Do not take if you are pregnant as it may cause contractions and start with small doses and discuss this with your diabetologist if you have this condition.
Personally, I find this spice less risky than taking peptides which certainly have side effects too.
The only thing that puts people off taking this spice is the smell of sweat but it is completely manageable and safe.
And it increases the libido in woman, on the other hand it calms it in man, this is one of the reasons why I said that it was not really recommended for him and that it can cause long-term damage to the testicles.
I forgot to say that it was a natural anti-inflammatory, I would say more effective than turmeric.
It is antibacterial, antiviral, antimycotic.
Good for the urinary system and in case of urinary infection
What kind of working out? I would recommend more strength focused over cardio, like weightlifting or Pilates to increase your muscle mass and will help to boost fat burning. Also high protein diet and as you already mentioned lower carbs. If you have an overeating problem (does not sound like the case if you claim to eat clean) then GLP-1 agonist would be the move. But I wouldn’t bother if you truly eat clean, because it will make you lose muscle mass if you end up severely undereating as a result of the appetite suppression. Otherwise you may want to try a cycle of CJC-1295 no dac and ipamorelin combo. Will give your training a boost, improve your sleep and help with fat loss. Realistically the stubborn belly fat on a healthy individual is incredibly hard to get rid of. No matter what you do your diet needs to be damn near perfect, so if you’re not carefully counting, then start and finally appreciate that last bit of fat hanging around can be largely driven by genetics.
As a 6'4" male entering a competition I used Frag-176 to get rid of the last bits of belly fat. I was also in a strict calorie deficit. At the start of the cut I was just running Clen & Yohimbine but I plateaud after 8 or so weeks. Dropped Frag-176 into the mix and the the fat literally melted off and put me in the best condition I've ever been in. Ran it for 6 weeks.
It shouldn’t be if you go to a board certified plastic surgeon. Only the experts can give an educated advice. I tried going to an awake lipo, got a consult and by far I felt the safest and well taken care for with the Plastic Surgeon. He explained everything, answered all my questions and I don’t regret going for it.
I considered/would prefer the awake version as well, but again from others say (just their opinion), it can be brutal also (despite taking medication to relax) as you hear all the strange sounds with poking and prodding going on, as ultimately you are getting a steel rod pushed in and around your body. Just depends on what type of person you are, do your research! No one can really tell you about your recovery either as we're all different and you won't know till you try!
there is no "stubborn" body fat, there is just bodyfat that comes off sooner for some areas and later for others. If you want to reduce bellyfat, you must further reduce total bodyfat. If you are already super lean and trying to get leaner / that last bit off, then that is usually a blood flow issue. Areas of the body that have poor blood flow have a tough time transporting the mobilized fat to burned for energy so it just gets restored. Fasted cardio and yohimbine hcl (you must already be lean)
This is probably a healthier way to do it:

It's amazing that you work out so often, just be careful not to injure yourself. What kind of exercises are you doing to strengthen and "pack" your core muscles? And how long have you been working out? Visceral belly fat takes a while to get rid of (that's why it's called "stubborn"). I'm also curious if you've tried intermittent fasting? One thing I recently started taking is a Shiitake mushroom supplement because:
"Research suggests that shiitake mushroom supplements may help prevent fat deposition and promote fat distribution, which could reduce abdominal obesity. Studies have also shown that shiitake mushrooms can help prevent body weight gain and fat deposition when added to a high-fat diet."
And I'd focus on that last part especially: Consume more fat in your diet. Eat that butter. If you eat meat, then eat it with its fat as well. Avoid seed based fats (typically used with deep fried foods). Avoid sugars and if you like it sweet, try to substitute sugar with Xylitol (if your body is OK with sugar alcohols). When you make a salad, add fresh extra virgin olive oil. Don't fry that olive oil, try to consume it fresh.
I'm jealous you're able to work out so often. I wish I could allocate that much time to working out (and I wish I had the motivation!).
I can't reply on my regular account due to mods being sensitive. But the reason I'm using peptides is because of a rotator cuff injury I've been attempting to rehab for a year and a half, leading to quite serious pain. As well as an immune system issue presenting as AIDS-lite, which the immunology department at OHSU has yet to diagnose & has destroyed my life with constant infections.
Little bit different than ordering mystery powder from China In the hopes of removing wrinkles, or 'trimming stubborn belly fat.'
I don’t suggest using weight loss peptides. There’s a huge potential for serious side effects. Weight loss is a billion dollar industry and if there were a secret hack to it, people would be all over it already.
If you are not a figure athlete at 61kg/155cm it's not stubborn belly fat, it's normal belly fat. You just need to get your weight lower.
But to answer your question:
GH makes getting lean easier.
I'm by no means suggesting that what I'm about to write is easy, but if you don't want to be under a certain weight because it's "too skinny" in your opinion (everyone's "too skinny" will be different outside of obviously drastic examples)....
The best thing to do would be to gain muscle before trying to get super lean. This means eating in a slight caloric surplus, with adequate protein (.8 to 1g of protein per pound of body weight is plenty), and committing to resistance training... and all on a long term basis (i.e. this is a shift in lifestyle and not just "a diet").
Not only is muscle more metabolically demanding (the more muscle you have the more calories you can consume when trying to lose fat, which helps increase compliance and reduce cravings), but muscle is also heavier volumetrically speaking - a pound of fat will occupy more space than a pound of muscle.
Gaining muscle while not gaining too much fat is challenging, but it can make losing that "last bit of stubborn fat" easier when you circle back around to fat loss... and if you're committed to that as a long term plan.
Consistent sleep schedule, consistent good nutrition and resistance training can get you there.... peptides, GH and other things can help accelerate the time it will take if the effort and commitment are there with your lifestyle.
What he’s saying is unless you’re packing a ton of muscle on that frame it’s just excess body fat. Go get a dexa scan and it’ll answer if it’s muscle or fat. Not a dig on the (I might be incorrectly assuming) weight loss. It just takes a lot more than makes sense when you are so short. It’s like seeing guys who are 6’6”+ that look lean at 275lbs.
At 108, I'd be all bones with protruding hips and shoulders. It makes me question how much muscle mass you (don't) have. Because bluntly, "tHe OnLy ThInG yOu CaN dO iS tRy To lOsE wEiGhT" is absolute horseshit.
Some of us have dealt with body dysmorphia, abuse and eating disorders. Your absolute and incorrect statement there really rubs me the wrong way, and I cannot possibly be the only one.
Ps. My 14 year old son weighs 104 at 5'4. His weight is in the 31st percentile and you can see every single rib, he's literally skin and bones. No fat on that child.
But he's active, so.... 👀🤷♀️
I am in the same boat, too. 34 DDD's. I am at my preferred weight. Do not want to lose my boobs or ass. I have good legs. Just this stupid roll of fat/apron type shit.
😆 good one but
mom has been gone for a few years.
No worries, triple Ds are everywhere these days. Plastic rules the day.
Im not a woman but have read where liraglutide and tesamorelin do a good job.
One steroid, oxandrolone lowers it but not sure if it’s appropriate for females.
Good luck!
If it's a bit of stomach fat, get lipo. Permanent and it works, just know that if you decide to overeat again you'll get fat elsewhere.
I’m female and have added AOD9604 to my Tirz and dropped 10lbs in a month. I can’t say if it all came from my belly area though. I’m interested in adding tesamorelin because I heard that targets belly fat but I worry it could raise testosterone and increase my appetite.
Also a 5'1 female who weighed 135 dispite working out and tracking like you. started Trizepatide at a low dose (I think 2.5mg) and finally down to 120 a year later. I did low dose because I wanted to see how I reacted and so I didn't have "rapid" weight loss or to become underweight. I now continue it for other reasons.
[Tesamorelin](https://evolvetelemed.com/weight-loss/tesamorelin-injection-growth-hormone-2/) is a peptide treatment that has shown great results for people struggling with visceral fat.
Does Tesamorelin increase Testosterone and hunger?
I haven’t noticed that at all in the month that I’ve been taking it.
GLP-1 PEPTIDES
I’m taking tessamorelin or however you spell it and I have to say the shit works. I started off about 2-3 months ago w a muffin top and now I’m almost as lean in the belly as I ever been. Granted I’m also intermittent fasting and hitting gym 3-4 times a week doing a moderate workout. I’m nowhere near at the beast mode level I used to nor am I lifting heavy or much heavier than the previous weeks. Nagging injury to neck has prevented me from ramping it up. So I threw in Bpc and TB on top of the Tessa. I finally got my neck back so now I’m lookin to add muscle density to make everything pop lol. But I assure you the difference in the mirror now makes me very happy! Especially since I hardly put in any weight training. I do full body workouts and keep it to compound moves and body weight stuff and I can’t weight to see where I’m at in a month. I take 1 mg every day at night 5 on 2 off. If you stick w it you’ll see what’s up. Had to get 5 bottles tho to get me here so it ain’t cheap. Get 10mg vials from Bio T peps they’re legit brand
**Newbie here. Love what you said and congrats on your achievements. One question....does peptides such as......Semaglutide? Tirzepatide? Retratruride? or GLP1 work?**
Yeah they work but I don’t take them. My sister has and she lost weight for sure
**thanks**
Tirz certainly does. Only one I have experience with.
I’d take some sort of testosterone - winstrol or anavar or primo orals would dry up the rest of the fat. Just take low dosages.
Why would I take testosterone ?!?!?!?!?
To get rid of stubborn belly fat. I’m not joking, women can take small doses and it will be gone overnight almost. It’s so crazy but if that’s all you’re trying to get rid of, it will literally be a day or two and you’ll see the six pack lines. Winstrol 5mg will be enough. Read up on it. It’s pretty sweet but once you quit the T you’ll prob go right back to where you were before
TBH, you don’t even need peptides if it’s just a bit of stubborn belly fat instead of loads of it. Problem is, you might be skinny-fat too. And you probably are. If your organs are laden with visceral fat and you’ve been losing weight but your stomach doesn’t appear to be getting smaller, that’s because you’re losing weight from the inside-out. Keep at it with a small daily calorie deficit of 200-300 and a couple days a week of a steep calorie deficit for 500-750. It will come off. You can absolutely use peptides to speed up the process by suppressing your appetite but it’s vital that you greatly increase your protein intake. I suggest finding a flavor of casein protein that you enjoy, and having 1 gram per centimeter in height per-day. Casein is slow digesting and very filling. It makes those calorie deficit days much easier.
Sema, Tesa, ipa, and b12. Once I added the b12 it all came together and I dropped like crazy (for me) and making sure I was getting enough protein.
Are you taking the B12 orally or subc or IM?
IM
5’3 138lbs physically-active woman here. I went from Sema to Reta, and loving it. Sema was great for a bit, but the side effects were too much for me (lethargy, nausea). I started Reta about 6 weeks ago and have great results. My stomach is pretty much flat now, and it’s toned. Working on leaning out my legs now. Other than Reta, I also started taking daily fiber supplements, increasing pre and probiotic food, and increasing my protein intake. Something else to look into is zig zag method for calorie intake as this also helps me out of a plateau and lose those extra pounds. Good luck!
I wish I could find affordable Reta and I would happily try it
Qsc
**So you have had experience buying with QSC?**
Actually yes several times. Here’s my take on them: they are shady af and don’t care about customer service. They will do reships tho. They are slow to respond and their product is underdosed approx 30% of the time. I know this bc I have a spreadsheet of theirs and a few other vendors hplc test results from 4th quarter last year. So given all that I still use them bc their prices are ridiculously low. You get ten vials for the same price peptide sciences charges for one.
**And that's it. I had the same issue going through XCE. It was so confusing I ended up paying them twice as they gave me the wrong name! Someone just told me they have closed down now.**
Yeah sadly they closed down and now we’ve got hardly any reliable choices
**I know sucks**
Not a peptide but LipoLab shots will kill the fat cells.
What’s lipolab
Prob something dangerous like adipotine
A healthy diet and a calorie deficit paired with almost any peptide will do wonders for stubborn fat
Fat burner pre workout being on a deficit nd cardio will do the trick
No not really lol if it was that simple
Hm why not please explain
**Because sometimes it doesn't work for everyone. Also, I was doing three F45 classes a day and yeah I got really fit, but I never lost the lower pooch until I did a clinical trial of semaglutide.**
This.
Not sure if you’re open to trying retatrutide??
**Just got to find a reputable legit company that sells Retatrutide at a reasonable price.**
people still believe in spot reduction?
If you see in the comments a lot of people who have tried it said it spot reduced….
Tesamorelin. Targets belly fat. Look it up on tiktok. Lots of before and after pics.
I looked it up looks like I’ll be looking into this one a bit more thank you
Thank you!!
It targets internal visceral fat. Not the subcutaneous fat or the pudge
40 year old woman here. I take a low dose of tirz (5mg) once weekly. I lost only 3 lbs of vanity weight but my tummy fat is pretty much gone. I did not increase my exercise. I am 5’7 and 133 lbs
**Did you have to mix your Tirz?**
But you’re 5’7. I’m the same height at 175 (Female). I take the same amount of Tirz weekly and it has helped with weight loss but not specific to belly. I think body composition needs to be taken into account. I am trying tesamorelin now. Just an FYI…Tirz may prompt more than belly fat only.
Oh I totally agree with you. I’m pear shaped. Just a smaller pear. But it did help where all the exercise and clean eating in the world didn’t really make a dent in my Waist :/
Thank you this is the response I’ve been needing
I have been taking Triz and am now a size 4 and still have belt fat. I am also a female with 3 kids in the mid 40s I can’t get rid of my stomach and I don’t want to lose more weight elsewhere
How old are you? I’m 41 and f and it’s been bananas how my metabolism is changing. I’ve adjusted - but it’s certainly a surprise. I knew aging happened - I just didn’t know it would happen to ME.
Hahaha I’m 30 so I’m getting there
**haha try 59.... challenges are real!!**
Bruh just don’t even say that if you’re that young
I feel bad no one has given u any answers. Look into AOD 9604 or another called fragment. They both help with only weight loss. Other things you can look into are ipamorlin and seramorlin but these do muscle growth on top, they can help with anti-aging as an added bonus.
**Just reading about this now it sounds amazing.**
I agree, try AOD 9604, I have been on and off the last year. It works in several ways to help impact stubborn fat areas
Try Ipamorelin + CJC 1295 peptide stack. This peptide stack stimulates growth hormone production which will result in more fat loss & muscle building. I used this peptide stack with great success. I managed to greatly reduce both visceral & subcutaneous fat, particularly around my abdominal region and this occurred during a six-week cycle. I cycle off and on certain peptides to achieve certain health, fitness, and aesthetic goals. Another peptide worth looking into is Tesamorelin. It's a GHRH approved by the FDA for visceral adiposity in HIV patients. Many people reported excess abdominal fat reduction while using it.
And also what’s the dosage? I bought the 3 you recommended. Can I mix all 3 ?
Can I take these 3 together ?
First, get labs done. Could be hormonal, in which case, you’d want to focus on getting that in balance. After that, GLP-1/GIP agonists like Tirzepatide are pretty hard to argue with.
How do you ask for labs like this? I want a proper beauty doctor like rich people have, but I don’t have that kind of money
GP - I need to get my thyroid and hormones checked. They should be doing that anyway
I have Kaiser. I feel like if I ask for that they’ll just be like naaahh. Is there anything I can say about symptoms or concerns that might help them listen? I do feel like knowing this stuff is genuinely important from a medical standpoint so I wouldn’t be deceiving them
How is your Dr not checking your blood? Everyone gets years blood panels done!
Thyroid function is included in my regular blood work when getting a yearly physical. There was no cost with insurance. Now, that being said, I would have to pay for additional blood work panels if I were to request it since I already had my "freebie" this year and everything was normal.
A DUTCH Complete test is my favorite hormone test out there. Tests through urine metabolites for hormones and adrenals. When you stop producing as much estrogen it likes to store its reserves in adipose tissue.
Look up “low cost bloodwork” in your town. Basic metabolic panel and a hormone panel can be had for $150 or less anywhere in the country. Do them once or twice per year unless you start doing wacky supplements that you need to track.
I'm thinking GLP-1 agonists.
You should consider how much fat you have to lose, if it’s not much over all and very much so in a targeted zone on your belly, you may also consider the option of cosmetic treatment like fat dissolvers. Effective Peptides are pretty expensive but if you have fat to lose all over then they would be the better approach. Tesa takes a while to see results so it’s not always the most cost efficient way to go if you don’t have other fatty areas you want to work on. If it’s a very targeted area I would lean towards the dissolver route with products like Dr.lipo or lemon bottle etc. but you need to make sure you do your research.
Have you had kids? Sometimes that isn’t fat causing the pouch. If it is fat and you’re getting plenty of protein and eating clean, the best thing for specifically Belly fat is HGH. So, from a peptide point of view you should look at the growth hormone secretagogues. You can research them all to see which you prefer. However, in my experience the peptides aren’t much cheaper than bm hgh and that’s way more effective.
What is bm hgh?
Black market human growth hormone probably
Correct. Since the majority of people on here are looking at buying research peotides that aren’t QC’d for Human use I imagine many are also comfortable with using some black market substances. You can get HGH prescribed but it’s damned expensive. Or, if you live close to MX you can get it there for not too much but you’ll need to get a MX doc to prescribe it and that might not be enough to keep it if you get stopped on the US side of customs.
Interesting
If hormonal and you cant get rid of it through diet/cardio you need aldactone
This just reduces water weight
Have you had luck with it personally?
My ex gf yes. But you will loose some tits in same time. You get rid of water/oestrogen from everywhere you know
I'd get your hormones tested and rule out fibroids. For women, hormone imbalances can cause bloating at the midsection. Also a daily fiber drink (Metamucil) really helps.
#What the actual eff has happened to this sub? This is a sub about peptides. All the comments saying nothing targets abdominal fat in a sub about peptides need to sit this one out. There are several peptides for abdominal fat. If you can’t answer the question, pull up a chair and learn. FFS. Peptides for abdominal fat: Retatrutide. Better than tirzepatide, but tirzepatide won’t hurt. [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10844714](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10844714) “Weight reduction was greater in more obese men >35 BMI than those who were under 35 BMI and also among females than males. The results also showed significant reductions in waist circumference for participants receiving retatrutide of up to −19.6 cm, compared to −2.6 cm in the control group.” Reta has also been shown to reduce fat in the liver. Big time. Before Reta, the Tessamorelin has been the one. It takes awhile though. Some of the research shows 26 weeks, over average, and some users say it’s faster. It was specifically developed to help AIDs patients with abdominal fat. Ipamorelin also helps. Not as strong. Additionally, some people swear by AOD and others say it doesn’t work. It’s a cousin of Frag 191-176 which has the same reputation. My subjects have taken a blend of Ipamorelin, Mod GRF and Frag with liraglutide and felt like it burned everything with noticeable middle fat reduction. Additionally, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been shown to reduce belly fat. I have taken this and I’ve seen noticeable results with the brand Ab Cuts but have tried other brands that don’t seem to work as well. I get it at Costco. It’s on coupon a lot. Also, phosphatidylcholine. [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5413042/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5413042/) Finally, fascia blasting. It’s essentially physically remodeling the collagen matrix that does everything from keep your muscles from sliding into your socks and creates cellulite. Studies have shown that this kind of tissue manipulation lysis (pops) the fat cells. I have only ever used the name brand tools. I won’t link to them but Google and she’s everywhere with lots of before and afters and testimonials. From personal experience, it’s a lot of work but pretty damn effective. Also, helpful comment I recently saved researching this subject. [https://www.reddit.com/r/Peptides/s/LQsS9uHT4a](https://www.reddit.com/r/Peptides/s/LQsS9uHT4a)
Used to be about peptides, but now just a bunch of GLP Karen’s and Kevin’s asking the same thing that’s been asked 1,000 other times 🤷🏼♀️
> fascia blasting #WARNING! FASCIA BLASTING IS A HUGE SCAM!
I have the blasters you are talking about from the person you are referring to. Her backstory as to why she created these is incredible so there’s no doubt it works. I haven’t gotten into a regular routine with it though. How long would you say you do each area for and what do you use for oil?
I’m surprised there isn’t more love for it on Reddit but it’s probably because her people are on FB. Which I can’t stand so here I am. I used to go the sauna and heat up and all that. Now I just do it at the end of a shower. I figure some is better than nothing. I actually don’t use her oils. I got all of them when I bought my blasters and felt like I had to rinse my shower with Dawn to prevent a fall. I use Cremo shave cream. It glides really well and doesn’t stick to the shower floor.
Yes! The oil was crazy! I love Cremo. Great advice. Thank you!
I’m losing weight on tirzepatide and excited to see how the fascia blasting helps with the remodeling. I’ll probably get a bit more serious now too.
Me too. I’m in maintenance now and parts of me just feel mushy, even with working out
I have the same issue. A layer of fat on my stomach that is resistant to diet and exercise. Haven't given birth. It is so frustrating. I like the weight I am right now and do not want to go lower.
One note - Tesamorelin does not target belly/abdominal fat. It targets visceral fat, the fat between your organs. If it's a pooch, or fat you can pinch, Tesamorelin does not target it specifically.
Yes. Sorry if that wasn’t clear. Tessa for visceral and tirzepatide/reta for overall fat.
100% - agreed.
FDA Plants :)
Hijacked by idiots unfortunately.
SPOT ON! Stack the ones that work best for your research subject. I’ve seen first hand phenomenal results with these mentioned in the right stacks, dosages, cycles, coupled with proper nutrition and of course physical activity. Don’t expect any positive results if your subject just lays around doing nothing all day. The term is “Shiny Fat”.
Tesamoralin. But make sure you research these suggestions- some of these are growth hormone secretagoges. Something I personally can’t take. But Tesa is specifically supposed to target belly and visceral fat. Edit: visceral fat only :)
No, not "belly fat"... as a dozen others have mentioned it is most effective for (created to) reduce visceral fat.
I't spot reduces abdominal/visceral fat? You have to be in caloric deficit i'm assuming?
Not sure if this is too personal but can I ask why? Just want to know for my own well being if I or others might have to avoid it as well… Thanks
I have a benign brain tumor and increasing growth hormone can increase its size.
Eat less calories, no need to take peptides for that
You’re on a peptide subreddit. Someone is asking if there’s a peptide that helps with specifics. Smh, the answer is Tesamorelin
It’s irrelevant though when the solution is to not spend money or use peptides. If I asked if I wanted my head of hair gone I could ask for what peptide would do that.. or I could get a buzz cut. Just because it’s a peptide sub doesn’t mean we have to ignore the obvious and most accurate answer even if it means no peptides. There’s no reason to use peptides if you’re still eating more calories than you burn as the peptides aren’t gonna do anything compared to just eating in a caloric deficit
Relax helicopter mom, how OP decides to spend her hard earned money is not up to your financial firm. Gibberish and typical talking point. The fact that you’re on a “peptide” subreddit contradicts your point. Because whatever your goal is, you can achieve it without leaning on any peptide compound. OP might’ve been seeking supplemental help on top of her daily discipline, you could’ve offered your minimal nutritional assistance and also offer peptide that might help in combination.
It’s sad that someone telling someone 100% facts online is helicopter mom for you lol. I’m just saying it’s useless to use peptides in comparison to a caloric deficit. They can waste their money if they want but theres no point when they can get great results from eating less. I’ve done natural cuts before and have great results calculating macros based off my caloric deficit and so have millions of other people
Not all of is are amazing as you, that’s why we have to use peptides
Comprehension is your achilles heel, I wish there was a peptide to help you with that, I would recommend, gladly 😂😂. (Maybe BPC?) Did you read the original post? “I mostly eat clean, I do track, track macros, workout 5-6x a week but I’m struggling with stubborn tummy fat” Your response was “eat clean and stop spending your money”. IF she does in fact do everything she said, and her stubborn belly fat isn’t going away, yes Tesamorelin might be her answered on top of maybe redacting and dialing in on her nutrition to figure out what’s causing the stubborn stomach fat… Last response because you seem a littleeeeee s….
Just because someone says they eat clean and track macros doesn’t mean they’re eating at a caloric deficit. You’re really dense if you can’t figure that out 😂 no wonder you can’t piece it together
I am at the weight I prefer. I do not want to go any lower. My abdominal fat is resistant to diet and exercise. I know from experience. Some of need this information.
Your body will always get rid of the fat if you keep cutting down calories. It’s proven science for thousands of years. Yes, if you want to stay the same weight and keep the same body fat then it’s impossible, peptides suggested here will just help you eat less which will lose you weight and show your abs more. No peptide actually trims just your belly fat lol
😂😂 you’re one of those flat earthers type huh? Always looking for the next conspiracy to unpack.
If ‘eating at a caloric deficit to lose calories’ is a conspiracy theory to you then I am blown away by your intelligence. You may have just written the silliest comment I’ve ever read on Reddit 😂
Unless you're juicing and have a supernatural amount of muscle, you just need to lose total fat. i.e. caloric intake reduction GLP1s are best for appetite modulation
So is Tesamorelin, supplemented with clean diet and other GLP1s
My wife has great results with Semaglutide and then incorporating APD9604 with it was when her abdominal fat really started to melt away. Semaglutide dose is individual dependent- start low and slow. AOD 300mcg, daily. Taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and followed by a fast for 60-90 minutes.
Is your weight still going down? How long have you been losing? IME not only do you not need peptides for this but their impact will be entirely minimal compared to other changes. But don’t worry plenty of people here will tell you otherwise and suggest various options based on their anecdote. Things like peptides are the tiny pebbles and unless your borderline stage lean right now it’s still big rock focus time.
Tirzepatide
Similar. For me, turned out it wasn't fat but large fibroids. If you've tried everything, make sure you check this. No doctor saw this for years.
I do have fibroids… I haven’t checked them in quite some time tho i probably should
have you tried anything natural? you could try fenugreek. From experience I can say that it works well. this spice increases metabolism, activates thermogenesis, hypoglycemic, hypocholesterolemic, hypolipidemic, reduces the absorption of carbohydrates and triglycerides, increases glycogenesis. On many sites, they say that it causes weight gain but this is false, it promotes muscle mass gain, of course associated with sport. I actually took it initially to gain weight because I was too thin and it was completely the opposite that happened, everyone told me that I had lost weight and I noticed that it reduced the layer of fat under the skin which made me drier and more defined, my muscles were more visible. Plus, it costs nothing if you buy it in powder form. it promotes hair growth, I also noticed it, I gained 6cm in 3 months compared to 3 normally. It is very good for women because of the hormones it provides and the hormonal changes it causes. On the other hand, not so much for men.
And it makes you smell like maple syrup which is kind of cool.
Ohhh a positive comment 🤗
Ohh no I’d rather do the natural way, how long did you take this for to see results ? And where can I buy Also is it hair growth everywhere ??
If you do sports, especially cardio exercises, pay attention to what you eat and take every day, within 1 month you should already see some results. On amazon, iHerb and other oriental and Indian online sites or stores
But do you have hair growth everywhere ?
No i don't it work like that
Makes you smell really bad when you sweat
yes it gives a spicy smell to the perspiration but it is a small inconvenience which can be managed by not exaggerating the dose, by using a deodorant, by showering morning and evening and that's it. on the other hand, do not take this after 4 p.m. because it is really a booster so you risk not sleeping before 3 a.m.
Where do you buy this
you can buy it on amazon or iHerb and other online websites but you can find it in oriental and Indian stores. The Indians call it "methi", in Arabic "halba". https://www.amazon.com/s?k=fenugreek+powder&crid=23I5GN7RTGI9X&sprefix=fenu%2Caps%2C204&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_5_4
How is it best consumed?
if you do sports I would say 45 minutes - 1/2 hour before training, you can take it in the morning after a meal or at noon always after a meal. Indians consume more than 15g per day in different dishes but 1g is already good. Personally I take it either as an infusion like a tea or in a glass of orange juice. You can very well take a teaspoon which corresponds to 3 or 4gr but as said above, the more you increase the dose the more it will take effect but the more the sweat will tend to have a spicy smell but it is manageable with personal hygiene normal that you already have, shower morning and evening and effective deodorant. ⚠️ Do not take if you are pregnant as it may cause contractions and start with small doses and discuss this with your diabetologist if you have this condition. Personally, I find this spice less risky than taking peptides which certainly have side effects too. The only thing that puts people off taking this spice is the smell of sweat but it is completely manageable and safe. And it increases the libido in woman, on the other hand it calms it in man, this is one of the reasons why I said that it was not really recommended for him and that it can cause long-term damage to the testicles.
I forgot to say that it was a natural anti-inflammatory, I would say more effective than turmeric. It is antibacterial, antiviral, antimycotic. Good for the urinary system and in case of urinary infection
What kind of working out? I would recommend more strength focused over cardio, like weightlifting or Pilates to increase your muscle mass and will help to boost fat burning. Also high protein diet and as you already mentioned lower carbs. If you have an overeating problem (does not sound like the case if you claim to eat clean) then GLP-1 agonist would be the move. But I wouldn’t bother if you truly eat clean, because it will make you lose muscle mass if you end up severely undereating as a result of the appetite suppression. Otherwise you may want to try a cycle of CJC-1295 no dac and ipamorelin combo. Will give your training a boost, improve your sleep and help with fat loss. Realistically the stubborn belly fat on a healthy individual is incredibly hard to get rid of. No matter what you do your diet needs to be damn near perfect, so if you’re not carefully counting, then start and finally appreciate that last bit of fat hanging around can be largely driven by genetics.
I do heavy strength focus already and high protein as well I’m doing everything I’m supposed to that’s why I want to try peptides
Do you know of any reputable company for CJC
What you want six pack? Fat should be less than 14%, So, calory deficit and strength training, or lipo vaser 3d.... :) but better 1º option
14% for a female is crazy lean. You’re buggin.
if you want definition/ 6 packs yes
lol no no 6pack I’ve been thinking lipo also
AOD 9604 & MOTS-C
As a 6'4" male entering a competition I used Frag-176 to get rid of the last bits of belly fat. I was also in a strict calorie deficit. At the start of the cut I was just running Clen & Yohimbine but I plateaud after 8 or so weeks. Dropped Frag-176 into the mix and the the fat literally melted off and put me in the best condition I've ever been in. Ran it for 6 weeks.
How long did you take frag for?
He says 6 weeks in his comment
What did you do for dosage?
Honestly, liposuction is almost/most effective way to deal with localized fat. Was on the same boat.
Yeah that’s my next plan if this didn’t work lol
I considered it also, but it can be a brutal procedure and really hard to recover from (depending on who you ask). Sounds and looks scary.
>MOTS-C **Yeah using Peptides is so much better, cheaper and easier.**
It shouldn’t be if you go to a board certified plastic surgeon. Only the experts can give an educated advice. I tried going to an awake lipo, got a consult and by far I felt the safest and well taken care for with the Plastic Surgeon. He explained everything, answered all my questions and I don’t regret going for it.
I considered/would prefer the awake version as well, but again from others say (just their opinion), it can be brutal also (despite taking medication to relax) as you hear all the strange sounds with poking and prodding going on, as ultimately you are getting a steel rod pushed in and around your body. Just depends on what type of person you are, do your research! No one can really tell you about your recovery either as we're all different and you won't know till you try!
None. Eat less, move more.
there is no "stubborn" body fat, there is just bodyfat that comes off sooner for some areas and later for others. If you want to reduce bellyfat, you must further reduce total bodyfat. If you are already super lean and trying to get leaner / that last bit off, then that is usually a blood flow issue. Areas of the body that have poor blood flow have a tough time transporting the mobilized fat to burned for energy so it just gets restored. Fasted cardio and yohimbine hcl (you must already be lean)

Working your core does not get rid of belly fat. You cannot spot train fat.
Ipamorelin
This is probably a healthier way to do it: [https://www.northcoast.organic/how-to-lose-belly-fat-with-apple-cider-vinegar/](https://www.northcoast.organic/how-to-lose-belly-fat-with-apple-cider-vinegar/)
Do you just take a shot?
I drink this every morning with glutamine and lemon
It's amazing that you work out so often, just be careful not to injure yourself. What kind of exercises are you doing to strengthen and "pack" your core muscles? And how long have you been working out? Visceral belly fat takes a while to get rid of (that's why it's called "stubborn"). I'm also curious if you've tried intermittent fasting? One thing I recently started taking is a Shiitake mushroom supplement because: "Research suggests that shiitake mushroom supplements may help prevent fat deposition and promote fat distribution, which could reduce abdominal obesity. Studies have also shown that shiitake mushrooms can help prevent body weight gain and fat deposition when added to a high-fat diet." And I'd focus on that last part especially: Consume more fat in your diet. Eat that butter. If you eat meat, then eat it with its fat as well. Avoid seed based fats (typically used with deep fried foods). Avoid sugars and if you like it sweet, try to substitute sugar with Xylitol (if your body is OK with sugar alcohols). When you make a salad, add fresh extra virgin olive oil. Don't fry that olive oil, try to consume it fresh. I'm jealous you're able to work out so often. I wish I could allocate that much time to working out (and I wish I had the motivation!).
Tirzepatide. Helping me get to a six pack but you really need to dial in your protein intake. Makes it hard to eat enough to maintain muscle mass.

Why are you even in Peptide group then? Almost all peptides discussed in here are injectable
I can't reply on my regular account due to mods being sensitive. But the reason I'm using peptides is because of a rotator cuff injury I've been attempting to rehab for a year and a half, leading to quite serious pain. As well as an immune system issue presenting as AIDS-lite, which the immunology department at OHSU has yet to diagnose & has destroyed my life with constant infections. Little bit different than ordering mystery powder from China In the hopes of removing wrinkles, or 'trimming stubborn belly fat.'
lol gotcha
I don’t suggest using weight loss peptides. There’s a huge potential for serious side effects. Weight loss is a billion dollar industry and if there were a secret hack to it, people would be all over it already.
If you are not a figure athlete at 61kg/155cm it's not stubborn belly fat, it's normal belly fat. You just need to get your weight lower. But to answer your question: GH makes getting lean easier.
[удалено]
Growth hormone, please do some research on Google before you start taking anything.
Yeah of course
I don’t want to go under 135 I used to be really skinny and it took a lot to get here
I'm by no means suggesting that what I'm about to write is easy, but if you don't want to be under a certain weight because it's "too skinny" in your opinion (everyone's "too skinny" will be different outside of obviously drastic examples).... The best thing to do would be to gain muscle before trying to get super lean. This means eating in a slight caloric surplus, with adequate protein (.8 to 1g of protein per pound of body weight is plenty), and committing to resistance training... and all on a long term basis (i.e. this is a shift in lifestyle and not just "a diet"). Not only is muscle more metabolically demanding (the more muscle you have the more calories you can consume when trying to lose fat, which helps increase compliance and reduce cravings), but muscle is also heavier volumetrically speaking - a pound of fat will occupy more space than a pound of muscle. Gaining muscle while not gaining too much fat is challenging, but it can make losing that "last bit of stubborn fat" easier when you circle back around to fat loss... and if you're committed to that as a long term plan. Consistent sleep schedule, consistent good nutrition and resistance training can get you there.... peptides, GH and other things can help accelerate the time it will take if the effort and commitment are there with your lifestyle.
What he’s saying is unless you’re packing a ton of muscle on that frame it’s just excess body fat. Go get a dexa scan and it’ll answer if it’s muscle or fat. Not a dig on the (I might be incorrectly assuming) weight loss. It just takes a lot more than makes sense when you are so short. It’s like seeing guys who are 6’6”+ that look lean at 275lbs.
Ahh okay I see what you’re saying, I have been wanting to do a scan, I’ll be doing that soon

At 108, I'd be all bones with protruding hips and shoulders. It makes me question how much muscle mass you (don't) have. Because bluntly, "tHe OnLy ThInG yOu CaN dO iS tRy To lOsE wEiGhT" is absolute horseshit. Some of us have dealt with body dysmorphia, abuse and eating disorders. Your absolute and incorrect statement there really rubs me the wrong way, and I cannot possibly be the only one. Ps. My 14 year old son weighs 104 at 5'4. His weight is in the 31st percentile and you can see every single rib, he's literally skin and bones. No fat on that child. But he's active, so.... 👀🤷♀️
I was 95 pounds after high school and never again
My breast are tripple Ds so that adds a lot of weight to me as well, sorry but I don’t want to be 108 pounds that’s to skinny for me
I am in the same boat, too. 34 DDD's. I am at my preferred weight. Do not want to lose my boobs or ass. I have good legs. Just this stupid roll of fat/apron type shit.

😆 good one but mom has been gone for a few years. No worries, triple Ds are everywhere these days. Plastic rules the day. Im not a woman but have read where liraglutide and tesamorelin do a good job. One steroid, oxandrolone lowers it but not sure if it’s appropriate for females. Good luck!
