DNP and stubborn fat (belly etc)

Have been on two dnp cuts lately, both times 200mg for 5 days before spending the rest on 400mg (both times I lasted 3 weeks)

it seems no matter what I do, I can’t shift this bottom belly fat.

I am pretty sure I was told once that dnp is useless against stubborn fat and stubborn fat responds much better to Yohim/Eph/Clen etc (and diet obviously) but I always thought that was bro science.

Any dnp users here able to shed some light on this? Is it a case of just staying on dnp for longer until the fat goes (it’s got to burn eventually right?) or is the bro science actually real science and dnp is only useful on certain fat?

For the record; diet is on point, been in this game a long time.

Cheers

I mean the ideal of selectively spot reducing fat you should know is bullshit for the most part. Losing fat is a battle of attrition you simply just need to diet for a long ass time until you get rid of it, I know that feeling but you just need to go further than you think you need to.

I'm gonna be honest here and alot of guys seem to pound the weights and then hit dnp and clen and the likes. I noticed the biggest change when I started biking 20 miles a day, good long cardio consistently really is important to consistent fat loss. Yes you can lower the calories but dropping weight had never been easier for me than when it was just mostly weights.
 
i'm like this too. my stubborn fat is around my chest and lower back. I can have striations on my lower glutes starting to come through and big fat back.

i have to use yohimbine or rauwolscine with fasted cardio and time restricted feeding to get rid of it, in conjuction with a b2 agonist. when i say get rid of it, i mean so it sorta doesn't stand out as much. i end up being in a cut for so long to try and get it to fuck off, that i start dropping LBM.

well written - particularly the "war of attrition" remark lol. agree completely. DNP was nothing but misery for me the several times I used it. yeah, it "works" but...........

I'd rather use clen/T3. clen gives me a mega energy boost. use it low dose, like 20mcg or less. I can't handle it as my anxiety spikes even with 3-4mcg (pharma tested tabs btw), but fuck me if the results aren't fast. i get that clen isn't the best feel good drug either, but i'd take the clen experience over DNP 24/7/365.

Nothing spot reduces fat, if you're on DNP and not losing weight you are simply out eating your DNP. DNP's effects, like everything else, are dose and case dependent, however I can share my experience. This is the full cycle I took, and I did start at lower doses and work my way up to these does. I'm sharing the max dose, as I hit about 1lb/day of weight loss at this dose & decided to stay here for 6 weeks. Before this, I had already been on for 2 weeks at lower doses. In the six weeks, I went from 215 to 181.

200 test/ 300 Tren/ 500 HCG (weekly); 30 T3/ 50 Proviron/ 500 DNP (daily); 40 Clen (last 2 weeks, daily).

I don't recommend doing what I did. I should've only stayed on for 4 weeks, the last 2 weeks I personally out-ate my DNP and gained weight due to binge eating (which I think was caused by the stress of the cycle after so long). At least I've been able to maintain weight after (195). I'll be back on/ cutting again in a few weeks, I needed time off.
 
Belly fat, or "stubborn fat", is different from other types of fat on the body. Fat is made up of different ratios of alpha-2 and beta-2 receptors. A2 = bad, B2 = good. The stubborn fat has a higher concentration of A2 receptors whereas B2 receptors are high in areas like around the organs... which is where you're typically going to lose fat first, then you'll start losing it in the order of least A2 receptors first. Usually top down.

Regardless, there's always a drug to help... if you continue to use the DNP (it DOES become less effective when getting down to stubborn fat) you can stack a few things to make it work more effectively... mainly alpha/beta agonists.

Yohimbine is a good option, especially if you do morning cardio. It isn't always well tolerated though... dosage should be .2mg/kg, IIRC. I used to dose it with GH. This all has to be taken fasted.

After the yohimbine is cleared - my preference is EC stack with a few grams of Tyrosine. Start low, assess tolerance and buildup from there.

Anavar is actually moderately good at working on these receptors too, with the added benefit of being a steroid... which tends always be good.

You can get more advanced with it, but that's all pretty sufficient.

Aside from the drugs, HIIT is shown to help with targeting the bad receptors too. A good protocol is to follow the above drug suggestions and perform 10-15min of HIIT intervals, followed by 20-40min of steady state.

Anavar? Interesting. What about tren?
 
I also can't get rid of my last roll. I'm pretty sure I almost died taking DNP. I dropped ten pounds fast but that was it. I found ephedrine, caffeine and baby asprine along with intermittent fasting and working out while fasted helped. I think it's all about not doing something for too long and mixing different methods. I know eveeyone says tren doesn't burn fat but I'm pretty sure my body burned more calories then I consumed while in it so maybe it was that too.

Pretty much all steroids act on those receptors in some way. I doubt tren has ever been studied specifically for its use in that purpose but I think it's safe to assume it probably does like most others. Anavar is typically a better option when using DNP though.
