2,4-Dinitrophenol - The Log
Round 2 with everyones favorite cellular metabolic poison.

For those of you who aren't aware this is my second round at DNP self administration. Earlier, last year, I had managed to learn quite a bit about DNP, in regards to my own bodies unique biological response to it. I flipped my bike and was injured and was not able to train to my expectations, although I did manage to lose a rather good amount of bodyfat despite a far less than usual activity rate.

Fast forward to now. I have aquired the means and will give it another go, using what I learned last time as well as studying the response from this bout.

The plan is simple, as all things are on paper. I will begin with 1 cap for 10 days, no, not because I am scared or want to test tolerance, I already know all that shit, mainly because I haven't been in the gym in months and I would like to train as hard as I can for about 10 days without having DNP hinder my ability to do so, to just get a base going. After the initial 10 day period of time, I will stagger days, meaning 1 cap one day/2 caps the next. Then on to 2 caps everyday, followed by 2 caps one day/3 the next and so on.

The goal is to lose as much bodyfat as I can, using the least amount of DNP needed, over the longest period of time it remains to be safe for me. I followed this method the first time and was very pleased with the result. however I will be going up in dosage and duration this time around and possibly tweaking some things as the days go along.

So with that:

Day: #1

Dose: 1Cap/250mg Crystalline DNP (Which is Approx. 188mg of actual DNP when you exclude the salt weight from the Crystalline DNP.)

Info: Today is day 1, as shown above. I weigh 292lbs with approximately 19% bodyfat. I have been out of thegym ever since about 2 weeks after my daughter was born, so for damn near 7 months straight. That is the longest amount of time i've ever been out of the gym since I started way back when I was 16 years old.

The plan is to take DNP at a dose of 1 cap a day for about 10 days to mainly just allow me to get reaffiliated with training. before the higher doses start to hinder my ability to do so. Other than that theres not really much to report at this time.

I don't know if you want others posting in your log here or want to keep it strictly log format, feel free to remove this if necessary.
Anyway, back in my young and foolish days I gave the DNP a few go rounds. Inever had it really hinder my ability to train as long as I drank enough water to rep[lace the buckets I was losing. I also did the lower dose longer duration combining a single dose with an otc fat burner for 30 days. You dont mention your diet which I think is very important to consider because alot of people get very reckless with DNP and forget about maintaing diet.

Hey bro, I encourage all dialogue in these logs, thats my goal is to discuss things log what I am doing and hear other things regarding the topic, so that people reading it will have a plethora of info.

My diet is very clean, I actually like to keep carbs low and that keeps heat and sweating down, but doesn't alter the FFA's being burned for fuel.

Day: #2

Dose: 1Cap/250mg Crystalline DNP (Which is Approx. 188mg of actual DNP when you exclude the salt weight from the Crystalline DNP.)

Info: Today is day 2, its still too early to report much, but i did get warm last night, not hot, but I did opt to do without the blanket last night and go with the sheet only, as I seemed to be a little warm. Sore as hell from getting back into the swing of things, so thats been my main focus. Weight is still the same.

Day: #3

Dose: 1Cap/250mg Crystalline DNP (Which is Approx. 188mg of actual DNP when you exclude the salt weight from the Crystalline DNP.)

Info: Today is day 3, I did notice a little more heat than usual, I sweated abit at work when I was moving around, which was more than usual as it was cold outside, so its working for sure. Appettite has been pretty crazy, but I have discipline, and have went to bed many a nights with an empty stomach.

Day: #4

Dose: 1Cap/250mg Crystalline DNP (Which is Approx. 188mg of actual DNP when you exclude the salt weight from the Crystalline DNP.)

Info: Today is day 4, and let me tell you< I was sweating pretty damn good on 1 cap a day for 4 days, its amazing, because this run I seem to be responding even better than last run.

It took about 8-10 days at 1 cap last time for me to accumulate enough to start sweating when I ate, but now at mid day on day 4, I am sweating my ass off about 20 mins inot and about 2-3 hours post eating.

Plus I had to do a bit more than usual today at my job, and I was sweating pretty good like it was summer, so much so that I had to wipe my face a few times.

Def a good sign. I look forward to whats to come. I have started to wash out some, looking watery tentive to a degree, which is another sign. The batch I have seems to be a little stronger than the last, which I like.

TB are you taking any special vitamin or supplement?

[Thinkbig]

No, not really, Just DNP and the couple of things I take whenever i train, like Vit. C, Carnitine, Carnosine, antioxidant blend, lipoic acid, etc.

Day: #5

Dose: 1Cap/250mg Crystalline DNP (Which is Approx. 188mg of actual DNP when you exclude the salt weight from the Crystalline DNP.)

Info: Today is day 5, and oddly enough, I did sweat some at work and a little when I ate, but it seemed to be diminished to some extent. It was nothing like tyesterday, despite today being a warmer day. I am going to keep an eye out on this as i may be buiding a tolerance to some degree to 1 cap, i wouldn't think it would happen this early, as it didn't last run I had with it unti about day 10, but these things are subject to change as the body is not static.

I do find it interesting, however, and will monitor tomorrows degree of effect I feel from it, and compare. I have def. smoothed out to an extent so far as water retention goes, but I ran today and didn't feel any worse for wear than prior to DNP administration, so go figure.

Day: #7

Dose: 1Cap/250mg Crystalline DNP (Which is Approx. 188mg of actual DNP when you exclude the salt weight from the Crystalline DNP.)

Info: Today is day 7, I skipped posting about day 6 because there was no real need to do so, I did start to sweat quite a bit during the night last night and all day today again, so apparently theres been no downregulation to dosage as of yet. Anyways, I felt pretty good and have been running and doing fine, although I am losing alot more sweat than pre-DNP as is expected and just like my lasat run with it.

I have been on DNP for 1 week now at 1 cap a day and so far so good I am happy with the feeling I getting this time around, as I type this I have a nice warm feel and the girl i am with told me last night that she could feel heat coming from my body, all good signs.

[monsoon]

I really think with your purpose you will do fine staying at one cap, but I am interested to see what happens. Especially with the water. Are you going to do anything there or let nature take its course?

I don't really plan on taking anything, I don't mind alittle smoothness, considering it all leaves within a week for me upon cessation of use.

Day: #9

Dose: 1Cap/250mg Crystalline DNP (Which is Approx. 188mg of actual DNP when you exclude the salt weight from the Crystalline DNP.)

Info: Today is day day 9 albeit early around 10:00am. I have been waking up damp, and decided about 2 days ago, to wear a t-shirt to bed, just because it helps to trap some of the moisture and mot leave it all on the mattress.

As of yesterday, I have noticed that I don't seem to get hot feeling anymore just sitting around doing nothing, like I had been, but thats fine because theres only 1 more day and then I will up the dosage by staggering every other day with 2 pills. Things seem to be going just as I remember from last time.

I want to try and do more cardio, its just that my job is limiting my gym time, but such is life. I will be attempting to make a point to run while I can before I get up to 2+ caps everyday as that does hinder my ability to run to some degree.

Other than than, I blew a yellow load last night, so thats the first of this run...lol.

[macjohn64]

noticed any weight lose.

[piotr]

yellow load? wtf? did your girl say it tasted any different???

piotr

[Thinkbig]

No, she did say something about its coclor though, she was like wtf!?

Weight loss, no, your not really going to notice any weight loss while on DNP especially at first, as you actually smooth out, and gain water weight to an extent. I haven't weighed myself since day 1 because its sort of misleading to do so on DNP.
About 10 days after cessation of DNP is when you will notice changes, I did last time.

Day: #10

Dose: 1Cap/250mg Crystalline DNP (Which is Approx. 188mg of actual DNP when you exclude the salt weight from the Crystalline DNP.)

Info: Today is the last day I will take 1 cap only per day. Tom. starts the staggered appraoch of 1 cap 1 day 2 the next leading into 2 caps daily.

I have been getting really damp each night, and when I wake up in th emorning I am soaked pretty good.
