My little rat also chose to start AOD. Been on it for a week now, so just beginning. I went down a serious rabbit hole with this. I, too, am using it to get that last little "layer" of fat off. In the research I have done, it seems the consensus was to stack the AOD with other peps like reta/tirz (any glp support), a GH secretagogue, and a mitochondrial pusher such as Mots-c or SLU-PP. I'm on tirz, CJC+Ipa, Mots-c, and NAD. Plus, a little GHK-Cu for the skin, health, and longevity benefits.
I know intermittent fasting is the MOST important aspect of it. I train in the morning fasted, get a bit of cardio, and resistance training in. Honestly, I feel great! Obviously, fat loss is a steady process, so I'm curious as to what the results will be. I've been tracking too on my Hume scale - down 1%, but I don't really attribute that to AOD quite yet. I'd be really curious for us to check in with each other in a month or two to see how our results are going!
I am also very curious about the half-life situation. One of the many times I wish there were more data. lol. Personally, I take it and hop on the stairmaster since I know the half lift is so short. I dunno! Researching is truly...research! lol!
