hey guys,
i had a few questions about DNP that i can't seem to find answered in the old messages on this board (or any others). wondering if anyone here can help me out..
Question 1.) DNP is legal right? so can one just order the powder from a chemical company and have it with water or something? why do people seem to talk about "sources" for DNP?
---------------------------------------------
Question 2.) Diet while on DNP: there are three perspectives i've heard,
1.) high carb: 50+% carbs, low low fat and the rest protein
2.) high protien: high protein, low low carbs and fat
3.) high fats (keteonic): high fat, low low carbs, rest protein
to start with, #3 makes little sense to me. why would one want to induce keteneonis while on a DNP diet..?
currently, knowing the fact that DNP works by attacking the process of the creation of the ATP molecules from macromolecules, the one thing that is apparent is that now the body needs keep trying to make more and more ATP molecules.
the body can do this by,
a.) burning up 'stored' fat and incoming carbs
b.) burning up all incoming carbs + fat first and then working on stored fat
between the two, it "seems" that the second (b) makes more sense, i.e., the best diet "should" be #2 (very little fats and protiens).
BUT, everyone seems to mention that #1 is the best diet for a DNP cycle.
so can anyone clarify why #1 is better? why would the body NOT burn up all incoming carbs + fat first and THEN work on body fat (i.e., getting to stored fat last..).. or is it that #2 is actually better?
this is pretty much one of my most confusing questions.. :|
---------------------------------------------
Question 3.) Should one do any resistance training while on DNP? I understand that its probably not the best idea to actually do aerobics while on DNP but would just benching or regular weight put one at risk?
---------------------------------------------
Question 4.) Are there any warning signs that one should look for (other than the ones posted in the message on the educational forum) that should cause one to stop immidiately?
i think that's pretty much it for now.. everything else seems to be clear from all the litterature and messages i've read on DNP..
i'll appreciate any answers..![]()
