Day 1:
Weight 185lbs (morning prior to eating)
Took 200mg at about 7pm, could already feel the heat as I slept that night. Awoke several times with a sweaty forehead and felt clammy all night.
Day 2:
Weight 184lbs (morning prior to eating)
Woke up at 6:30 am and did 30min of moderate cardio on the cycle and the stair stepper. I feel I get a better sweat from the stationary bike than anything else. I get too much of a painfull pump in my shin muscles when I walk on the treadmill at a fast pace and on an incline. It is obviously the juice in me giving me the painfull pumps.
Took 200mg at about 11am so I could get on an earlier dose time. Walking around on campus got me plenty sweaty. Some people don't experience any heat for the first few days to a week, not me. I felt the heat all day. I had a great workout, but I could tell that I got winded a lot easier. VERY winded and light headed. I drank about 1.5 gallons of water today, and still my piss is yellow. Normaly it is clear on consumption of half that amount, but not on DNP. I'll do a few more days at 200mg to see if I want to even go up to 400mg. But I'm already feeling the heat at 200mg, so as for now, I'm staying there. I had 21 caps, so it could last anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks depending on what dose I take.
Day 3:
Took 200mg around 10am.
I felt the heat again last night while I was sleeping. I awoke again several times with a wet forehead and a damp pillow. I had to turn the fan on me at work just to keep from sweating all day. But the drying sweat made my skin all sticky like during the summer. I can definetely tell this stuff is kicking in, especially after I eat any type of carbs.
I didn't do the whole carb depletion in the days prior mainly because I am still unsure if it is true or not. The DNP makes you burn so much that I really don't think it matters whether you carb deplete or not. I'm sure it will make a difference, but I feel that the difference will yield negligible advantages in weight loss over not carb depleting prior to use.
Anyway, The sides aren't really that bad to me. Yes I feel hot all the time, but it's not unbearable. My piss is dark yellow whether I drink tons of water or not. But I'm drinking about 1 to 1.5 gallons a day. I also don't believe you have to take one of everything at GNC to stay healthy on DNP. I'm simply taking my multi-vitamin, B12, B6, CoQ10, and an ephedrine tab here and there when I need energy. And I am doing fine. But we will see when the DNP blood concentration levels get higher.
Day 4:
Weight 182lbs (morning prior to eating)
Took 200mg around 10am.
Still sweating at night. It seems to increase just a little with each night. I did 30min of cardio this morning. I got more tired than usual, but not by much. It may not even be attributed to the DNP. I sometimes strugle through cardio anyway, so it could have just been one of those days.
I was sweating my a$$ off at school today. Nothing horrible, just a little uncomfortable. The sides aren't bothering me at all yet. I can feel that later in the day, I have a little less energy, but nothing extreme at all. I'm taking a day off from the gym today though, I have too much homework to do. I'll be back in there tomorrow at lunch though.
With the weight loss I'm seeing so far, I'm staying at 200mg a day and letting my blood concentration levels rise slowly. I feel this is the best approach. Long duration and low dose.
Day 5:
Weight 182lbs (mid-day)
Took 200mg around 10am.
Feeling a little crappy and tired today. Nothing bad, just enough to notice a difference. The sweating is under control, but I do feel kinda damp and clammy. Kinda like my shirt just came out of the drier and isn't all the way dry. Still waking up at night and having to flip my pillow over to get a dry side. I can not sleep under the sheets at all or I just get too hot.
Great day in the gym today during lunch. I felt strong on bench, and ended up trying to max after my first two sets. My first set was 135X12 warmup, 1st real set was 225X10, then 265X8. I was feeling strong so I thought I'd go for 300lbs for 1 rep. I DID IT TWICE! I was very happy after that. I do sweat a lot in the gym, but I feel like I have plenty of energy. Probably from the ephedra.
One thing I have noticed is that my sweating is different from what everyone else describes. I have never really been much of a sweater. To tell you the truth, I don't even wear deoderant because I don't sweat that much, and when I do, it doesn't stink. I have always sweated profusely on my head though when I excercise. But On DNP, my head won't stop sweating. I am constantly having to wipe it off with a towel.
Day 6:
Took 200mg around 10am.
I have found that I sweat the worst during the 2 hours after I eat. My head is still pretty much the biggest sweater on me right now. I do feel clammy and damp everywhere else, but my head is the worst. The sides aren't bad at all for me right now. We will see how I hold up over the next 2 weeks. I'll weigh myself when I hit the gym this afternoon. I'm probably still around 182 to 181lbs. I really don't feel lethargic at all. I haven't had the sides that most complain of wile on DNP. It is either too soon, or it is the low dose that is keeping the sides away. Or I could just react well to it.
Anyway, I hope this cycle works out well. My source doesn't stock it anymore and he said he would reorder any for several months. So after this 21 day cycle, I'm out. So far though, I like the results, and I don't have bad sides.
I am keeping very well hydrated. I've also noticed that if I drink about 1/2 pint of water per 1 to 2 hours, my pee is just tinted yellow. But if I slack for a few hours, my pee is neon yellow and kinda burns a little. (not that kind of clap burn though so no jokes!) All I am taking is my normal multi-vitamin pack, B12, B-6, Zinc, 150mg CoQ10. Oh yeah, and 900mg of test cyp per week and 50mg of winny ED. My cycle will be ending in two weeks though. This is why I started on the DNP now. I think the test in me may be helping with some of the DNP sides. Who knows though.
