I have capped DNP for a 12 day cycle, each cap is 200MG and dosing is as follows:
day 1 - 2: 200mg
Day 3 - 7: 400mg (split between AM and PM dosage)
day 8 - 9: Will Ramp up to 600mg, supplementation with 75mg T3 to aid with lethargy
days 10 - 12: 200mg to taper down
Supps:
* MyProtein Alpha men, 8 caps per day providing many of the antioxidants and vitamins I require in abundance.
* Inositol, 1 gram twice daily
* 5 HTP to aid in sleep, 3 at night if required.
* Ephedrine, I hate the wired feeling from this so will only use if I notice real lethargy
* Yohimbine, apparently great for combating lower belly fat, not using this until I experiment with its effects on me again
Gycerol - gonna buy this and start supplementing from tomorrow
My stats:
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 211.4 pounds
BF estimate: 17 - 20%
Age: 23
Log so far:
Day 1: Took 200mg DNP cap, and then 30mg ephedrine and an experimental dose, around 20mg to test tolerance.
Effect: Noticed vasodilation, eyes a little red and felt a little ill. Went to the shops, got home then went to the library to study and literally *bam* something hit me like a brick wall, I felt so dizzy and the weirdest I've ever felt, could barely open the door. Sprinted back home and proceeded to profusely sweat and feel like I was walking on the moon for around 10 minutes. The feeling then vanished as quick as it came and I was left feeling tired and a little weird still, perhaps a bit sick. Felt hungry as hell.
I assessed that it was either the ephedrine and caffeine or yohimbine or combination of the both that was causing this as 200mg is a low dose. In the evening I had a family size pizza and lots of ice cream on top of a fair amount of alcohol, daily calories worked out at around 5000. I won't be so indulgent or stupid again, the alcohol on DNP is a first and last.
Day 2, woke up feeling sweaty but may be due to overload of carbs and booze. Took another 200mg DNP and hit the gym fasted using all the carbs from previous night as my workout fuel, good workout lifting heavy for around 8 reps and felt more sweaty than I normally feel at the gym. Hit the treadmill for 25 minutes and left rather soaked in sweat. Calories today: higher estimate would be 1900, 1900 is around the number of calories I'd like to keep to. All calories will be clean from now on coming from protein sources such as cottage cheese, turkey breast, chicken breast and sardines. Carbs come from oatmeal, whole wheat bread and brown rice and a few grapes here and there.
Not feeling much here, maybe a little more red in the face due to vasodilation. Really have junk food cravings for some reason, lay in bed thinking about strawberry cheesecakes and chocolate gateux's. Had a few complex carbs (brown rice) before bed, not something I like to do but I didn't have much in the fridge and a couple of sardines for protein.
Day 3: Woke up, not feeling any different to normal at all, maybe more mentally tired but could be attributed to late nights and drowsiness from 3 HTP tabs. Took another 200mg DNP at 1:30PM Went for a fasted bit of cardio, nothing strenuous just an hour or so of walking on slightly hilly terrain and now just taken another 200mg at 19:15, wouldn't say I feel warmer really, no fan required yet however piss is always a luminous yellow, also probably attributed to excreting excess vitamins. Calories so far been around the 1800 mark today, if I can keep cravings under control my bedtime cottage cheese should provide me with an additional 300 calories or so bringing me to around the 2100 mark.
This is a decent deficit atm, according to my activity level (averages around 5 times excercise a week and factoring in my weight and age, I require roughly 3100 calories per day.
Gonna change tomorrows routine to a higher rep one, around 12 reps. Will weigh in tomorrow to see if I've lost any weight from my starting 211.4 pounds in the 2 days I've been taking this as seriously as I should.
On a side note, I did notice when I tried to jog my ankles ached, this is normally indicative of water retention for myself or low potassium. As my supplements contain sufficient potassium for my daily needs I'm sure it's water retention.
Hopefully the effects peak at making me warmer than normal but not a constant sweat as I need to be revising for summer university exams, sitting in the library sweating could be irritating.
Few pictures of before if anyone wants their eyes to be raped, will post after pictures like 4 days after cycle as a comparison:
