Start information:
Stats: Weight = 246 lbs, height = 5'11", bf% = 24 => fbm = 59lbs, lbm = 188lbs
Goal: My goal was to lose approximately 10 lbs of bf without losing muscle mass by day 11 and basically to see how my body would react to this stuff.

Actual info:

General: First ever DNP cycle. The dnp phase of this cycle only lasted 5 days because I was called out of town for work unfortunately. At the last minute before I started I decide to perform this little experiment where I would eat as usual, and only do one physically demanding activity during the cycle. I did this because I wanted to test the results of the dnp, not the workouts or aerobics. Next time I will� well I will discuss that at the end.

Ok here it is:

I took 400mg dnp for the first three days along with 1 adipoK, 37.5mg phentermine, 140mg milk thistle, 1200mg alphlipacid, 3000mg pyruvate, 2400mg calcium, 1600mg magnesium, 2400mg nac, 1200iu vitE, 3500mg vitC, 2 multi vitamins, 3 tablespoons glycerol, 6mg melatonin, 250iu vitD.

For the 4th day I took 800mg dnp and the same supplements as above.

For the last day I took 600mg dnp and the same supplements as above.

Now let me break out my notes:

Day 1:
Bf% = 24 (ok, I am a �big� guy, but I still get lots of poontang!)

Temp @ beginning = 97.6 degF (my normal temp I guess)
Temp @ 6pm = 98.4 degF
Temp @ 9pm = 97.6 degF

Severe diarrhea started in at 4pm. I mean this shit was as thin as water! And it stunk! I believe this was due to the vitC, but hey, I like my eyes, so I just made a �poopy-pad� with tissue and kind of just left it in my crack and believe me � it saved me some laundry!

No noticeable effects other than the poops.

Caloric intake = 1200
Carbs = 110g

No workout

Day 2:

Temp @ 5am = 96.5 degF
Temp @ 11am = 98.6 degF
Temp @ 1pm = 98.3 degF
Temp @ 5pm = 98.2 degF

Still have diarrhea but my piss is not yellow like gatoraid as I expected. Slept like an angel! I love melatonin!

Caloric intake = 1800
Carbs = 150g

No workout

No noticeable effects other than the poops and severe carb cravings. Sweated a little more today.

Day 3:

Temp @ 8am = 97.5 degF
Temp @ 11am = 98.8 degF
Temp @ 4pm = 99.6 degF (highest of the entire cycle)
Temp @ 5pm = 99.1 degF

Fell asleep only 1 hr after melatonin. Great stuff! Slept well, pissing every hour still, no sexual effects!, sweated little more than normal, shit on myself while washing my truck but the �poopie-pad� saved me, too weak to finish washing the truck anyway, felt dizzy at times, felt like when I would blink my eyes I would have a momentary blurriness.

Caloric intake = 2000
Carbs = 180g

No workout

Workout = washed truck vigorously for 1.5 hours but could not even finish!

Day 4:

Temp @ 7am = 97.6 degF
Temp @ 11am = 98.1 degF

Sweated more last night than ever.

Caloric intake = 2700
Carbs = 340g

Now, I realize that I should have used more dnp. I sweat, but nothing major. More like cold sweats actually. A damp, humid feeling.

No workout

Day 5:

Sweated a lot at the field today in the plant. Had to leave for work, so I ended the cycle here.

Caloric intake = 2800
Carbs = 240g

No workout

CONCLUSIONS:

1. lost 0.5 � in my waist, and 4 lbs by day 7 after water bloat had vanished. Never had much during the cycle anyway, but I was drinking a lot of water.
2. I love melatonin!
3. should have taken more dnp!
4. wish I could have stayed on longer.
5. I need softer �poopie-pads�!

QUESTION:

1. should I have started off with like 1600mg dnp? See why I ask this below. I did a spreadsheet that gave me my dnp levels during this cycle and realized that dnp levels reached this much at the middle/end of the cycle. Why not just start at 1600mg and then maintain that level until end by using just enough dnp to keep that level?
