I definitely never said to slack on diet/training and just use drugs, that's not my motto at all, the drugs are the finishing touch. In fact on DNP the minimum amount before going catabolic is what I suggest to eat.. so very little.
It's not an abnormal rate at all, I've seen some truly crazy people sit in bath tubs of ice all day and they burn upwards of 1000 calories an hour just naturally.
I talked about water because everything has it's deadly point. DNP really isn't as deadly as people say.. clen/ephedrine/caffeine all do the same thing, burn calories through heat generation. IME clen actually burns fat much faster than low doses of DNP's rate but builds a tolerance very fast, I'm talking like 2-3 hours and then the drug just stops working almost entirely, at least from what I've seen.
I've gotten very good results using 50-100mg a day at 260ish lbs relatively lean, even 200 is not needed in most of the cases imo. People should lower the common doses to 50, 100,200 and 300 not 200,400,600.
There are other benefits of this substance totally outside of it's weight reducing properties. DNP reduces ROS formation which is absolutely incredible and potentially can increase lifespan, lots of long-lived animals like birds rely on this technique for slowing down aging.
Using a low dose of DNP while leaning down is similar to using clen without the tolerance or crazy anxiety side effects basically, there really isnt a difference.
