A DNP journal

I would try and take tums when needed.... It seems a little weird that caffiene would cause acid reflux though. I am not real versed on the subject though. Anyways good luck I will follow your log. I am doing a DNP cycle as we speak. I hope to have the same results as you did on your first log. Congrats by the way.
 
Acid reflux is not to uncommon when taking in a lot of caffeine - this problem happens to me too.
Usually a small glass of milk helps me, so it can be worth a try.
Honestly I really don't think ECA is absolutely necessary - just try to get some simple and complex carbs in the morning to keep your energy up, and try having an apple for your snacks.

Caffeine itself isn't acid, but it enhances the stomach's ability to produce acid and digest. Too much caffeine = too much acid, hence the reflux.

Tums and Maalox are the same, overthecounter prescription-free medicine. I'm afraid I'll need something stronger.
 
Prilosec is now available over the counter man. It's great stuff and it is the EXACT same thing as Rx Prilosec/ other various GERD Drugs. It is just plain Omeprazole.

hope that helps:cool:
 
I think the acid reflux is more due to the large dose of aspirin you are taking... 3x's a day you take 325?

I drink well over 1.5gallons of water a day.. And I can't fine ECA so I'll see how it goes.. today is my first day.. 100mg down the hatch..
 
Going on day 11 of the cycle, I started on Alin's stuff waiting for D's to arrive, and then switched.

I also added ALA and CLA to the cycle. For some reason I have much less sweats than on Alin's.

Scale comes up in 4 days

What are alin's dosed at?
 
Ok so I haven't updated in a while. Unfortunately due to some hectic schedule I had to interrupt the cycle twice... 2-3 days pause and restarting sort of broke the effect. Plus, because of Aspirin, I can no longer take ECA. I now have Pantoloc 40mg (Anti-Proton-Pump medication) if I ever have bad reflux.

In any case I've lost about 3lbs only in about 20 days. I eventually switched to Alin's stuff since even at 750mg a day with D's stuff I didn't feel the sweats at all. Since there is possible accomodation to it, I wonder what is going on.

This is the first time I have troubles like this during a cycle.
 
Everyone's different bro, if you aren't feeling it at 750...add another cap.
I'm using D's currently and I'm feeling the burn on 750
 
Every week or two that you are on it, your body is readjusting. When I start out, im sweating a good bit on 200mgs, but a few weeks later as I slowly up the doses, then i can be at 600mgs and feel the same if not LESS sides

I actually had a few days throughout my run that I went from 400 to 200mg and also 500 to 200..meaning I didn't take all my pills that particular day.. I notice the next day I look leaner, but the day after that I look even tighter. I guess I lose a little bit of water due to the lowered dose, and the bump back up speeds things up again.

I think you need a better product if you're only dropping 3lbs in 20days. Maybe I'm wrong???
 
If you didnt give a whole week to clear the system, then you have a bit left in you. So, you might STILL be holding onto water. If you miss a day or two, then you are still basically "on" and wont see the effects. Only if your diet is spot on and you are taking in an insane amount of water and maybe a mild diuretic, you wont see the weight loss while stiff using.
 
I think I figured why my first cycle was much more succesful.

I did 15ml glycerin three times a day, which I don't know. I don't drink enough either. So I think hydration is what causes my cycle to be less efficient.

I'll try adding glycerin again!

Dude drink water.. also work out, take something for energy. I felt better the days I work out, I sweat more, and look leaner. I drink 4-5 liters of water a day, 10g of creatine also.
 
Hyey guys!

Can`t believe I haven`t updated this since May!

Here`s what happened:

I was lazy with my supplements and was only taking DNP Alone wth some Vitamin E. I was really tired of taking 10 pills twice a day (I would take Vit C,E, Sesamin,Pyruvate, CLA, ALA, Potassium, Magnesium,Calcium,ECA...) Basically it was such a big hassle that I thought i`d try just DNP+ALA and see.

I had left overs from Alin`s plus new arrival from D.

It was a disaster. I lost only 4 pounds in 25 days @ 400mg. Probably because I didnt even drink enough. Didn't even sweat, and I know my first cycle I sweated like a madman.

So I tried D`s stuff in July for 15 days and it was aweosme. I took all my supps again + 4L a day. I found it to be less potent than Alin`s and was taking 750mg a day. No workouts really except a few weights twice a week... ate very heathy, lots of veggies, fish and chicken, salad, and fiber cereals in the morning.

Lost 17lbs! Thank god for A/C.

I keep eating well now but I'm gonna try to get a hold of P if he's still in business and try his stuff (I seem to prefer powder over crystal and I can forget Alin forever now).

I could not take ECA anymore as the Aspirin totally destroyed my stomach (I had been taking ECA for over a year, three times a day). I couldn'y even take coffee and had to resort to Proton Pump Inhibitors (prescribed) for a month in june.

My very first DNP cycle had ECA and I felt more energy wih it, so next cycle will be ECA+P`s stuff and supps.

Hope you guys had a great summer!

I was on Prilosec (Omeprazole) for 12 solid years. I could not get off them without acid reflux, heartburn etc... I've tried at least a dozen times... Docs even had me on IBS meds.

Then I tried taking DGL (Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice Root Extract)

2 chewable tablets 3 times per day. That's a minimum of 800mg's 3 times per day. Those things rebuilt my intestinal lining just like the studies said. I've been off proton pump inhibitors for a month and my stomach is all healed up. I still take the DGL as it's cheap, it works and your body can digest food properly. I can finally eat spicy stuff and feel good.

Read some of the studies on DGL Licorice


This is what I take:
