- Fat Loss Rate (8-week observation)
- 0.5–0.8 kg/week
- 0.8–1.2 kg/week
- 1.0–1.6 kg/week
- Synergy timing doubles the fat oxidation advantage of peptides used without meal structure
- Lean Mass Retention
- Moderate. Depends on training volume and protein adequacy
- Poor. Appetite suppression from GLP-1 often causes protein underconsumption
- High. Strategic protein timing meets leucine threshold at GH peaks
- Timing windows preserve muscle during deficit without requiring surplus calories
- Insulin Stability
- High. Paleo eliminates high-glycemic processed foods
- Variable. Unrestricted eating can spike insulin and blunt GH/GLP-1 effects
- Very High. Low-glycemic paleo meals extend peptide efficacy windows
- Insulin management is the hidden variable most peptide protocols ignore
- Adherence Difficulty
- Moderate. Food restriction without hunger management is challenging long-term
- Low initially. GLP-1 suppresses appetite; high later when side effects emerge
- Moderate-High. Requires meal prep and timing precision
- Synergy protocol demands more structure but produces measurably better outcomes
- Cost (Monthly Research Budget)
- $200–300 (whole-food sourcing)
- $150–400 (peptide compounds only)
- $350–700 (peptides + paleo whole-food sourcing)
- Higher upfront cost justified by faster, more sustainable recomposition results
