Finished my first cycle last Friday, and I think the water retention is gone. With that said, I went from 208 to 196.5lbs on one week of DNP at 400mgs, for 3 days and 600 the last four. My sides weren't as bad as everyone says, but I am not saying that they couldn't be. I know DNP is very dangerous and used it very safely. I sweated lighly except when I was still- It's weird- When I was out moving around I found i wasn't as hot, but when I sat at a desk or watched football on TV, I sweat hard, not drenching, but very noticeable. I lost 5 pounds the first 3 days and then the water rentention hit. I didn't notice large carb cravings, but of what I have read, that all hits, later. Tonight, I will start my 2nd cycle of a week, I will start at 500 mgs and take it from there. I have made all my own DNP, and while it is very cost effective, it isn't easy putting those dam'm little lids on the top of the caps. Anyways, good luck! Any questions just ask, one cycle shouldn't qualify me for expected results and sides. Round 2 may be totally different. One last thing- workouts did suck- My squat was 50 pounds weaker just because you don't have the energy to bust out all your reps. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Those look like good results Ty. What percentage of the weight lost was fat? Did you notice any muscle loss, and did your strength come back when you were done? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I'm in day 6 of 7 at 400mg/D. My sides aren't too bad (mild sweating, usually while sleeping) but I hate the weak feeling I get working out(yuk). Feels like my muscles just give up before being fatigued. I've stayed the same weight so far but expect to have lost a couple of pounds when the water comes off. My diet has been exactly the same as before the DNP to give me a good baseline. I'll probably go with a insulin induced keto diet for my next run with it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I ran two DNP cycles last April with the recommended week off in between. The first week I took 500mgs ed. I have never sweated so much in my whole friggin' life. When I went to class, my friend would notice my excessive sweating. He would say "damn man, you're sweating like crazy. What's the deal?" However, I never told him why. I lost about six or so pounds on the first cycle, but the second cycle was a different story. I sweated a ton while sleepinp during the first cycle, but the second one made me sweat at least 20 or 30% more. I thought it was very strange because I used the exact same dosage of 500mgs ed. Plus, I had very psychotic dreams, or in this case 'Nightmares' during the second cycle. My workouts were very tough, because my muscles felt dead most of the time. Also, it was never easy working out when you are sweating puddles everywhere. All I'm saying is that my first week was bearable & well worth the sides, but the second cycle was horrible. I didn't lose much weight on the second round(maybe three lbs.), but I did notice a little muscle loss, however it might have just been my imagination. I haven't touched the stuff since. ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Tried it once, and I think I must be the rare case, but I loved it. I did not get these terrible sweats. I dont not feel like shit, and i had no problem training and doing Cardio. It was cool becasue i could slack off on my diet, and stay lean. Infact my workouts started to become more intense, and I was getting stronger. I think it was from some of the junk food I ate while using the DNP. The only thing i ever had was a little head sweat while sleeping, but nothing much. I love the stuff, and want to use it again. I used 200mg in the morning, and 200 at night. ------------------ Check out The Muscle Max Bulletin Board ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I'm kind of nervous...I'm starting today with 400mgs. I'll do that and then up it to 600. I'm doing a 8day cycle. The thing that confuses me is posts like the one from JohnnyD. See, I hope my DNP cycle goes that smooth too. I hear all these nightmares about it and then I hear these rare smooth success stories. I just hope that I can do my cardio too. I am planning on keeping my cardio high and my carbs real low too, do you think I'l be able to last? I am also thinking of taking some ATP injections as well. I think that will help with all the muscle fatigue after the first few days. Well, wish me luck I'm gonna take that pill in about 2 hours.... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Orchitis, I had the same experience that you did. I have done over 10 DNP cycles and I have to take at least 2-4 weeks off in between cycles or the sides become unbearable. I once did 4 cycles with 7 days on and 7 days off and on the 4th cycle I don't think I lost a single pound on the scale. I just got so bloated that my weight actually went up. I just did an 8 day cycle and dropped about 6-8 lbs. I took 6 days off and did a two day mini-cycle and I felt 10 times worse than on the 8th day of the previous cycle. My metformin just arrived so I think I will give it a try for a while and lay off of the DNP. For the occasional one week cycle DNP is the best fat burning product available. For longer dieting periods however, DNP is nothing short of satomasochistic. It is kind of like test suspension. It gives you the fastest gains but the most suffering. giantset ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

That shit was hell, bottom line! Personally, I felt sick like I had cancer therapy. No hunger at all! No desire to eat! Got ripped as hell, but I sweated too much and was always tired. Do not think I will ever do it again. The max I worked up to was 800mg a day, or 04 caps.

I had poor results, not near what I had anticipated. My thyroid crashed so immediately that little weight was lost. my pee smelled like wood. Puc ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

giantset, I forgot to mention that I tried to run a third DNP cycle in late June of this past summer. However, I only made it through four of the scheduled seven days. The reason is because I worked in the unforgiving Dallas Texas HEAT! That shit's bad enough, not to mention when you are on DNP. The temps were above 105 ed, plus the humidity is terrible. I lost about 5 lbs that week, but I think it was mostly water. Of course, I did take my usual five page list of anitoxidants, pyruvate, & glycerol. It's just tough to take pills all friggin' day long while your working. When I look back now, I truly believe that I was insane for even trying that cycle considering the conditions. Live & Learn, I guess. ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

MAYBE THIS IS A STUPID QUESTION, BUT DNP IS TAKEN THROUGH THE DMSO METHOD RIGHT? YOU DONT SWALLOW THESE PILLS DO YOU? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

nahanrac- yeah- I dropped very little muscle- I consumed a lot of protein but I don't think that matters- DNP is muscle spearing, there is some scientific information about it in the past posts. My strength went up as soon as I got off it (48hours) and it was actually higher than it was before DNP- so I think I had a little bit of an anabolic effect, somewhere on this board there is information about that too. Everything I know about DNP i read off of this board. This board kick ass if you use it right. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Orchitis, that is pretty crazy. I restrict my DNP use to the dead of winter now. I tried a summer cycle when my air conditioner wasn't working in my apartment and I almost died. I sat around in my boxers with all of the windows open and a glass of ice water in my hand. I don't know how you made it in 105 degree weather. I can't stand those temps even when I'm off DNP. It is really weird how sometimes I can drop 5 or more lbs of fat on DNP and other times I don't really see much of a difference. I recently had my best DNP results while on a cutting cycle. I wonder if there is any synergy between DNP and roids, besides the supposed "clearing" of androgenic receptors? giantset ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Kong, DNP caps are swollowed. BatMan, DOnt take ATP shots. The whole mechanism of action of DNP is to rapidly deplete ATP stores forcing the body to use more fat stores ad well as greatly enhancing thermogenisis. If you give yourself more ATP, DNP will not work properly. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

for some reason i had alot of bad side effects off dnp. i got pseudoparkinsons, nightmares, a feeling of impending doom (like pcp users get) whenever i tried to throw up, and a wrecked digestive system that took several weeks to get back in order (bad gas, weak digestion). I don't use it anymore. the nightmares, emotional side effects, fear of getting parkinsons and digestive troubles aren't worth 10 lbs. i've heard that dnp can give you parkinsons disease. i don't know how much truth there is to that. but someone on the board once said he had a friend in med school who told him dnp was used to give rats parkinsons disease. seeing how i got pseudoparkinsons after i quit the cycle (it went away in a week), he is probably right. i dont' know if it is permanent or likely though. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Can DNP be used in a ketogenic diet, or do you need carbs to counter the DNP? Myomorph ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Myomorph, DNP can be combined with a keto diet, but it is dangerous. Carbs and energy will deplete too fast and too far. Just keep the dies clean and you will have good results. Juiceseeker, why do you say that DNP is hard on the liver? Where did you hear that? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

All foreing substances, (drugs) are liver toxic. If you body does not know what is is, you liver will work harder than usual to break it down. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Juice, liver toxcicity is of no concern when using DNP. I think whoever asked the question meant toxcicity to the extent of somthing similar to a 17AA. you are correct that the liver is effected, but not much more than say taking some flu medication. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||
