I respect the late Guru, but much of what he said was just incorrect.
Carbs are NOT essential for fat burning while on DNP.. Carbs ARE essential for keeping liver, brain, etc happy while on the stuff.. Eat too many and you will feel it... and you won't like it.
The fact that you feel hotter after carbs does NOT mean you are burning more fat. Actually, when you eat the carbs, your cells will switch over from fat burning to burning the carbs you just consumed.
Pyruvate is not essential while on DNP.
