GH helps regulate fat metabolism. Many people take human growth hormone injections because of the fat loss potential.
Can we manipulate natural growth hormone release through short term diet modification and save some money on GH supplementation for fat loss? A recent research study found that short term diet modifications high in fat and low in carbohydrate or low in fat and high in carbohydrate had the same affect on GH levels in healthy men.
The study concludes short term diet modifications have no effect on growth hormone levels in blood.

It would be interesting to know if LONG term diet modification would have similar or a different effect on natural GH blood levels.
AFFECT or EFFECT- I will never get that right so I used both!
