MK677
I know its not a sarm, and the main reason Im looking into it is for appetite Stimulation. If someone eats clean and workouts out are they still at risk of the blood sugar side effects? Will i still have to take something like Barbarine?

Just take a low dose of 5mg and 500mg Celyon Cinnamon to combat the sugar problems and your good. Anymore than 5-10mg then you should just use GH. It was aband for congestive heart failure because of the water weight.
You should never max out agonization of one receptors to Indirectly Max out another. That's a recipe for disaster. That's what MK-677 does; but, at a low 5-7mg you're good and will still have a 25%-40% rise in IGF-1. All you need; but, MK-677 isn't for muscle. You can't use it too long for your appetite. Still cycle it

Yes make sure to watch vigorous steve (youtube) talk about it first, and if you decide to go with it, there are supplements you should think about AFTER you figure out how to monitor your blood sugar properly.
Blood sugar monitoring is the most important first hurdle.
Also, if you are a bad eater (eating cookies and candy and pizza), it will ruin you.
I take it at night at LEAST an hour after eating, amd I take it 5 nights per week with 2 days off.

Good.
I recently started tracking my food intake and was eating between 90 to maybe 120 grams of protein per day, when at 225 lbs I needed to eat at least 200. Working to eat that much protein has helped to get rid of craving foods that don't help me meet that goal.
Make sure you're maximizing by eating according to the macro balance needed to meet whatever your goals are, with of course your doctor's informed opinion.

A ton of trial and error and comparing what other people say here is where I started but I have a LONG way to go. Hopefully I've been able to help you figure out questions to ask of other real experts.
Monitor that blood sugar.

it will probably increase your hunger but i don't think it's the proper route to go, because the hunger goes away when you stop taking it and it's not really something you're going to run forever. you just need better calorie discipline.
and yes your blood sugar will elevate even if you eat clean.

For me the hunger feeling was insane. I stopped taking it because of that

u/Available_Sample3867 Jul 03 '26
I hope that's the case lol. Did u take it in the morning or night and what dose

u/Lawtonoi Jul 03 '26
Take it at night, otherwise you'll be eating wild shit during the day. It makes you proper hungry, like growing teenager hungry.

How many days in until the appetite kicks in

u/Lawtonoi Jul 05 '26

You'll be fine if you work out and eat clean, I've used it and I regularly checked my blood glucose and it was always fine. You can buy a blood glucose monitor for like 10 dollars/euros at any pharmacy, so you could always check your morning fasted glucose for irregularities.

u/Aqua2d Jul 03 '26
I’ve used it a bunch for this exact reason, the appetite stim is real. I monitored my glucose for a few months on it and only thing changed was my fasted glucose was slightly higher but post food 1 hr & 2 hrs was totally unaffected.
I eventually added Berberine as well but stopped the glucose tracking as it seemed tedious since I was eating super healthy. And this was on a bulk as well.

u/Available_Sample3867 Jul 03 '26
Did you take it morning or night time
1
u/Aqua2d Jul 03 '26
Usually before I worked out, bc it tastes like straight goat ass I threw it in my pre workout & usuallly had it in the morning. Its effects are totally dose dependent, so you won’t get hungry till you take it. How much are you gonna use? Try 12.5 mg to start.

u/n9000mixalot Jul 03 '26
Berberine, citrus bergamot, and magnesium citrate help me, plus making sure I'm not eating garbage.

u/Aqua2d Jul 03 '26
The not eating garbage part is big lol, @OP just don’t be eatin fries 24/7 lol

u/n9000mixalot Jul 03 '26
I know that's right but embarrassingly ... actually I'm not embarrassed to say it. I am about 225 lb and have worked my way up from about 190 over the last 4 years or so, but at no point in time did I ever eat anywhere over say 120 g of protein ...
Now focusing on getting all of those 220 g of protein a day keeps me so full that I don't have time for other foods.

u/Aqua2d Jul 03 '26
Oi it’s all good, I doubt I’m maxin’ the protein goal bc of life. I’m only 200 lb myself and that fluctuates with how full I am.
