GHRP-6 appetite spike seems to defeat the point for body composition, anyone found a way around it?

Been looking at GHRP-6 for the GH pulse side of things but the appetite stimulation is putting me off a bit. The profile on here lists intense hunger as basically the headline side effect, and from what I gather it hits through the ghrelin pathway which makes sense. But if the whole point of running a GH secretagogue for a lot of people is leaning out or at least recomping, how does that work when you suddenly want to eat everything in sight?
I ran ipamorelin before and the hunger was minimal for me, maybe a slight bump but nothing I couldnt ignore. GHRP-6 sounds like a different animal entirely. Reckon the stronger GH pulse is worth it if youre also fighting cravings all day? Seems like youd just end up eating back whatever extra fat mobilisation you got.
Curious if anyone here has actually used it and found the appetite settles down after a week or two, or if its persistent the whole time you run it. Also wondering whether timing it right before a planned meal actually helps in practice or if the hunger just hits regardless. Ngl the gastric motility and gut healing angle is interesting to me but I keep coming back to the food intake problem being the dealbreaker.
