Community Protocol

Appetite Suppression / Fat Oxidation / Passive Thermogenesis / Lean Mass Preservation

TYPICAL DOSE
GLP-1 (pick one, Tirzepatide preferred): titrate to lowest dose that suppresses appetite into deficit. Cardarine 10-20 mg/day oral. Injectable L-Carnitine 500-1000 mg IM/SC pre-cardio. Mirabegron 50-100 mg/day oral. Optional: 5-Amino-1MQ 50-150 mg/day oral, MOTS-C 5-10 mg/week SC (split doses), SLU-PP-332 doses still being characterized — high doses required for therapeutic effect.

Overview

What is Fat Loss Stack?

Scientific Sean's recommended fat loss research stack, layering a GLP-1 (Tirzepatide preferred, with Semaglutide and Retatrutide as alternatives) for appetite suppression with Cardarine (PPARδ agonist) and Injectable L-Carnitine to flip the body to fat-as-fuel, plus Mirabegron (β3 agonist) for passive thermogenesis. Optional add-ons — 5-Amino-1MQ, MOTS-C, and SLU-PP-332 — layer in mitochondrial and exercise-mimetic effects for deeper or more experienced cuts. Built on the explicit assumption that sleep, diet, exercise, and habits are already dialed in; calorie deficit remains the actual driver.

Key Benefits

Reduced cravings and hunger from GLP-1, forced fat-as-fuel substrate switching from Cardarine + L-Carnitine, ~100-300 extra passive calories/day burned via Mirabegron's brown-adipose activation and mitochondrial uncoupling, improved insulin sensitivity, glycogen sparing, and steadier energy through a deficit. Optional add-ons push mitochondrial efficiency (5-Amino-1MQ, MOTS-C) and exercise-mimetic metabolic upregulation (SLU-PP-332). Lean mass preservation is the core design goal — Sean explicitly warns against rushing the rate of loss.

Mechanism of Action

Multi-pathway fat loss convergence. GLP-1s (Sema/Tirz/Reta) suppress appetite via central GLP-1 receptor agonism, dropping caloric intake into deficit. Cardarine activates PPARδ in skeletal muscle, upregulating fatty-acid oxidation enzymes and forcing the body to prefer fat over glycogen as fuel. Injectable L-Carnitine supplies the mitochondrial shuttle (CPT-1/CPT-2) needed to actually transport long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix — Cardarine sets the preference, L-Carnitine permits the oxidation. Mirabegron agonizes β3-adrenoceptors on brown adipose tissue, driving UCP1-mediated mitochondrial uncoupling and passive heat/calorie expenditure. 5-Amino-1MQ inhibits NNMT to preserve intracellular NAD+ and SAM, boosting mitochondrial efficiency in adipocytes. MOTS-C (mitochondrial-derived peptide) activates AMPK to shift the cell toward fuel-burning over storage. SLU-PP-332 is an ERR (estrogen-related receptor) agonist mimicking exercise-induced metabolic adaptations.
