How does IGF-1 facilitate weight loss?

Is it because you simply have appetite suppression and eat less so therefore you lose weight? Or is it something about the food you eat is processed differently? (srs)

idt igf1 does appetite suppression unless ur talking about glp1's. i think igf 1 just does more anabolic reactions which require more energy and therefore fat loss prolly. glp-1s often do suppress appetite but there are other methods to that. glp1's use fat for energy or sum shi like that while also appetite suppressing which causes hella fat loss with not a lot of muscle loss.

More muscle -> higher metabolism, and nutritient partitioning
