Is my DNP underdosed or bunk?

[dobermann]

I know guys usually put on water weight while running DNP but my weight has pretty much stayed the same since I started my course about 243-247 I have noticed no direct fat loss either I look smaller but that could be placebo or it could be a lack of glycogen? been ketoing it before the cycle and apart from a re-feed on fthe first day 400g CHO I have been low carbing it (under 70g) Been on 200mg powder for 5 days bumped it up to 400mg yesterday and still no rise in temp, no smaller via the tape measure yes I feel hot/warm sometimes but then it's warm where I live at the moment and im quite a big guy.No excessive sweating either ... caps have a yellow powder in them made by BRL ...

Is it possible that the tape measure wont show fat loss till after the cycle? I know the scale can be deceiving as the body holds water or does it sound like my stuff is bunk/underdosed?

Its hard to say as everyone reacts different to drugs.
200mg ED isnt a huge dose of DNP so the sides usually are minimal on that dose. (Once again it depends on the person).
It usually takes me about 3 days after I start to even feel the effects of DNP, by then I start noticing the heat.
Also, you are low carbing, which MAY be affecting you. Carbs definately pronounce the heat effects of DNP. I eat over 200gs of carbs a day and have zero problems losing weight. Don't be afraid of eating carbs on a diet/DNP.
Remember its ALL about cals in vs cals out, no matter what the bros may say. If you want to low carb when losing weight thats all well and good, but dont think there is some sort of magic going on by doing it. You reduce carbs then you are reducing total cals, thats why you lose weight.
Now that you are on 400mg ED if you don't start to notice some increased heat and/or lethargy in the next few days, then its most likely your DNP is underdosed.

Thank's Stamkos the only thing I difference have noticed on 400mg a day is that after eating a pro+fat meal my temp once read 99.1 . When you lost weight on DNP did you notice it during the cycle or after? I'm not sure what to expect for 5 days on 200mg and 5x days on 400mg.

I definately notice weight loss while on DNP. Afterwards I may drop another pound or two in water as it starts to clear my system.
There are days I lose .5 a lb, then other days where I stay the same, then woosh 2 lbs gone overnight. I consistently lose weight each week though. 3-5lbs while eating close to maintenace cals.
Once again everyone is different. Some hold a ton of water while on and then drop quite a few lbs after they finish.
Personally I feel that as long as you feel lethargic and warm then its working even though you may not be noticing it on the scale the way you want to.

It's hard to gauge as where I live is hot and i'm prone to being a bit sweaty and lethargic I have not noticed any difference in tape measurements though either? or foul smelling sweat or yellow staining of my clothes. However I have never had a 99.1 reading on a thermometer before even if it was just the once

Well I live in a very hot climate too. I can judge the heat by if I sweat while indoors with the AC on. Also, I cant sleep with the covers on at night while on DNP. I dont soak the bed like some do, but I have to have the fan pointed directly on me at night or I cant sleep.
I have never had any sort of yellow staining sweat while on DNP, its just normal sweat, a lot more of it obviously. I dont think yellow sweat is very common for most people. My urine is always very yellow though, no matter how much water I drink. Semen is yellowish too.
My temp is always lower (usually around 97.1 - 97.6) while on DNP. A good sign, as that way I know my body is still able cool itself off. You do not want to get much above 99.5 while on DNP. That just means your body is not capable of cooling itself from the effects of the DNP. That is when you can start getting into trouble. Checking morning temp is very important when taking this drug.

From checking on the lab that produces my DNP it seems a lot of people are complaining it's under dosed which from your description and experience of "symptoms" compared to mine sounds about right. my urine is pretty clear from all the water and electrolytes I am using.How can one get a reliable reading of temp i.e say one gets 99.5 then waits 30 mins and it's 98.5 how does one establish if one is running too hot?
