I have been reading a lot on the subject, i even read all the articles i could find and i took me a while, i also have already ran DNP in the past however due to the job i had DNP sides were awful as i was working in a warm environment plus some physical activity, i was a welder in a metal shop so torches and DNP aren't really friends.
The reason i'm asking for your advice is that i find totally opposite points of view in terms of information about DNP.
This is what i found.
Carbohydrates are converted to glucose with an efficiency of 100%
"Almost all the carbohydrate eaten will be converted into glucose in the body. The only carbohydrates not changed to glucose are those that cannot be digested, like fiber. "
DNP depletes glucose, and we all hear that carbs are dissipated as heat instead of being stored as fat.
Doesn't this mean that calories from carbohydrates aren't stored as fat?
Assuming this is true, a diet consisting of mainly carbs (80-100% of the total calorie intake) would be beneficial as only the 0-20% would count toward the calorie intake.
"The digestive system breaks down carbohydrate-containing foods into simple sugars, mainly glucose."

"If you add DNP, though, it blocks the ability of the cell to convert ADP to ATP, but it also disables the "throttle" - and without ADP as a limiting factor, metabolism goes all-out. This means that the cell will exhaust its glucose supply very quickly, without producing much ATP, with the unused energy being released as heat.
This actually happens naturally in infants, though. Deposits of fat cells around the torso are naturally decoupled - they burn fat and produce heat instead of ATP, keeping the child warm. These are specialized cells, though - the cells are meant to exhaust their fat supply then self-destruct. Such decoupling in vital cells would be disastrous."

Isn't this what basically happens with DNP?
"Inside your cells, the glucose is burned to produce heat and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule that stores and releases energy as required by the cell. The transformation of glucose into energy occurs in one of two ways: with oxygen or without it. Glucose is converted to energy with oxygen in the mitochondria — tiny bodies in the jellylike substance inside every cell. This conversion yields energy (ATP, heat) plus water and carbon dioxide — a waste product."

Isn't this basically saying that most carbs which are mainly converted to glucose be dissipated as heat? So if the cells consume the glucose without making much ATP the amount of energy created would be a lot less which translates in a reduction of calories from carbohydrates.

This drug (DNP) was prescribed to help in weight reduction because it will make the body unable to use food to create ATP.
"As body temperature increases, so does metabolism. The two subjects become directly related in nearly every form of living, such as eating, sleeping and through exercise and physical exertion."

So won't that heat actually aid the weight loss?
Sorry for mixing a lot of different aspects of DNP however i couldn't find a decent answer to any, too much brocience which really annoys me.
Is there a flaw in my logic?
Feel free to criticize or to correct me as i'm no genius nor expert on the matter.
Ps:
Please don't warn me against the use of DNP or post stupid comments.
