IDK where to post this, so supplements it is.
I've been taking 500mg dnp (crystal according to the supplier) for over a week now. I have not noticed any weight/fat loss. I am pretty sure its legit (although under dosed is arguable) because I have many of the symptoms of DNP. The symptoms are quite bearable at 500, and I am not pushing it in the least. I am banking on it being under dosed, and thinking about increasing to 750. I want to say it has only been a week, and I am being impatient, but everything I've read indicates that I should have seen significant changes by now (especially since a lot of people will only do a 7 day cycle of it).
Here is what's going on:
250-500 cal deficit
low carb diet, mostly fruit. How low can I go without going into keto and/or not feeling like complete shit? (I'm thinking 75-125g?)
100mg (mcg?) t3. I was on it for a week before starting the DNP, I thought about dropping it, but apparently DNP shuts down t4/t3 production, so I kept going with it. I plan on being on DNP 4-6 weeks. Is it bad to be on t3 for that long? (4-6 week +1)
I started doing 250mg test (cyp) every 3.5 days (trying to preserve as much muscle as possible), but Im thinking it may just be a waste and going back to 200. Thoughts?
I have clen I was thinking of adding in, but I also want to keep it simple. And the t3, clen, cycling, etc..... I dont want to convolute the process.
There is a lot of speculation when it comes to DNP, low carb vs high carb, there seems to be consensus. So I PMed a knowledgeable member, which I wont name because Im not sure if he would want me to, although you can probably figure out who anyways. He told me:
====when you run high carbs on DNP but WITHOUT insulin then all your doing is generating more heat in your body. the carbs are not doing anything beneficial for you at all, in fact it'll make things more
====uncomfortable as the carbs cannot be converted to any other energy source in the body other then heat.
====when your on DNP the beta cells of the pancreas shut down (due the uncoupling nature of DNP and hindering ATP) and your no longer able to produce much if any insulin . so the carbs your consuming
====are getting burned off as heat rather then being stored in muscle cells.
====so your probably hot all the time, plus your muscles are probably flat.
====if you going to run the DNP and not run insulin with it. then I recommend doing a low carb diet. quality protein, an array of veggies and healthy fats. you need the anti oxidants as well.
====try cutting your carbs way down. see if that helps you burn more fat and generate a bit less body heat (though this is unavoidable to a certain degree, but no point in throwing in extra carbs to 'fuel
====the fire' sort of speak)
I was not aware that insulin was even an option when it comes to DNP, and info on it is scarce. How would that work? Will it assist with fat loss? Is it more for preserving muscle? Should I just not consider it and keep it simple?
I know there are a lot of questions above, if you guys just want to ignore them and say, "Do this protocol" that works as well. DNP is a hell of a drug. I dont want to keep winging it trying to figure things out on my own, and I dont want to keep bothering people through PMs.
