HGH making me fat?

[PavlovsCat]

I am 52, have always been active, and using HGH for the first time.
I am now on my 3rd week and have gain 10 pounds. They are all around my waist.
Is this water bloat or fat?
I cut down to 1 iu per day but it's still there. Does this ever go away?

I am taking HGH mainly to lose a little bf around the waist, but so far is
doing the opposite.

Thanks

it can cause some water retention, but if around your middle sound to me like your diet is not correct. You cannot depend upon hgh to make you magically disappear fat from your body, you must be on good diet and exercise as well.

some have in head that if they take hgh they can eat anything they wish then, because hgh will make them not gain the fat, this is not true. diet and training is most important

If anything, HGH thinned out my waist around the navel where I injected. I never got gains in the middle. I only got retention with test and/or naps. However, I didn't care because my joint pain eased up and I was lifting up the side of the house.

I do diet a lot with very low simple/fast sugars. That really helps with fat and water retention.

I here 4-8IU /day @ 5 on 2 off it what typically should be used for fat loss.....not to say 1-4 wont, just may take longer to get the same reults.....either way your still looking at least 6 month

If you are insulin resistant, HGH can exacerbate that condition. I have the same issue. I compensate by only eating low GI foods when taking HGH. ie. No flour, sugar or starches.
