Difference between insulin and IGF-1 LR3

Insulin prevents the burning of fat by inhibiting the enzyme AMPK ,sup>1. This enzyme often triggers the upregulation of fat burning – the rate at which the mitochondria in your
cells use fat for energy. So for fat loss you want low insulin.

So why do people say IGF-1 LR3 is good for fat loss? It works the same right? By shuttling nutrients (glucose) to the cells... just don't understand how it is beneficial to fat loss.

Thoughts?
 
This isn't to say it prevents losing (or gaining) weight, as overall calories in vs. calories out is responsible for that. But wouldn't this have an effect on overall body composition as a whole? If calories are the same, and you are not burning as much fat as energy, you will lose more muscle. Right?

Simply trying to understand for myself.

I think you're already confused trying to decipher a more complicated subject. The body has different energy systems and pulls and stores energy from different systems, both insulin and IGF-LR3 have pro metabolic function as they regulate and facilitate energy for use. To use insulin for fat loss is very hard while using IGF for fat loss is much easier, dont complicate it much more than that.

I'm just trying to understand why fast loss would be hindered while using insulin, but when using IGF-1 it is enhanced and helps you burn fat.

Aren't they very similar compounds?

Maybe in the same sense a gun and a knife are both weapons. Again fat loss isnt necessarily hindered by insulin, go watch the video I posted in the IGF thread in the peptide forum.
