Long DNP cycle

[alex117k]

I'm getting interested in DNP and it seems most people go with 600mg - 800mgs for 7 - 12 days.

Anyone have any actual experience with a longer( say up to 60 days ) cycle at a low dose of 200mg ED. Would this long a cycle cause any problems with your thyroid or any other problems?

Thanks.

I'm sure you will get plenty of responses. But, I am going to try and go 30 days and am on day 7. After a couple of weeks, at least I don't want to go to work much less exercise. 60 days would be a feat at any dosage in my book. I would love to see before and after pics if you go through with it. Everything I have read says if you are going low dose, wait until 10 days into your cycle and start with the t3. Like I said, I am sure some other folks more experienced than me will reply also.

You'll definitely want to throw in 75-100mcg of T-3 into the mix with that length, and benadryl is also a must to prevent a histamine build up from the DNP (think hives/rash). Other than that it will work fine as long as you can stand it, you don't build up a tolerance to DNP. Well, you may get more "used to" the effects of it, but it will still work the same.

Heretic,

Does t3 or dnp make you hungry or it is all mental? I feel like I am always hungry. Also, how low should cals be? I have seen recommendations saying very low carbs and very low fat. Seems like you would lose weight without dnp if you could manage to do that.

I did 4 weeks at a dose of 400mgs EOD and 200mgs on the days in between(avg 300mgs a day) and used 50mcgs of T3 ED. It worked pretty well, still felt fatigued alot and did alot of sweating, but all in all it wasn't that bad and the results were great.

if u have never used DNP before than why the hell would u even want to attempt something like that? Do 10 days and see how u react bro

Dnp is hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In about 2 months I am gonna do a 2-4 week cycle of low doses(200mg). Hopefully the sides will be bearable.

I didn't say that a 60 day DNP cycle is what I'm going to do - if I decide to use DNP I'll do a week long cycle initially, but I was curious if anyone had experimented and gotten good results with low dose, long cycles with tolerable sides rather than the pretty high mg counts I've seen( there's even a guy who claimed to be using 1gm daily, and that's got to be too fuckin much ).

Thanks for your input, Heretic.
I still have some reading to do and a decision to make, but I hear good things about you and I see your email. A.

do some research, 600-800mg? I DONT THINK SO. It amazes me the idiots out there who start off with that. PLEASE read up some articles before you decide you want to use the stuff. The stuff is toxic to run for 60 days to let you know. Try 200mg for 7 days then take off 1-2 weeks and you will know if you can increase to 400mg.

uh, if you find that your are fat enough to think that you need 60 days of DNP to lose all that fat, DNP is not your answer. (did that make sense?)

in other words, if you are fat right now, it most likely means your diet and exercise regimen sucks. if your diet sucks right now, it will most likely suck while on DNP. so, basically, try working on straightening out your exercise and diet regimen before going on DNP. DNP, in my opinion, should only be used as a "catalyst" for fat loss, not a "magic bullet"

but, do what you want. i ain't yo mama.

I'm 266 lbs now, a lot of that is muscle though - the only thing that's fat on me is my mid section - my legs, shoulders, arms & chest are big & solid - lost about 20 lbs in the last 2 months. Would like to lose another 46 lbs and I'm at a plateau right now. Was thinking of alternating DNP for a week with 3 weeks off to help get it moving again, but some of the posts were describing what I thought of as high doses of DNP and just wondered who'd gone the other way, with low doses for longer periods.

Yes I have and I have preached the good results here many times. 200mg/day is more than enough to have excellent results if you apply good diet and training. I found it to be not only bearable but nice during the winter months. It is enough to give results but not the sides that ususally keep me out of the gym. You will still be able to hit the cardio hard and not fall off the treamill. I suggest you run a 7-10day 200mg cycle and see what I mean. Remember that DNP builds up and will start kicking after a coupld of days. I found I lost as much if not more from the low dosage longer cycles....Pup

dude if u r looking to drop another 46 pounds (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) u should not be considering DNP for that!
IF you use it, you should use it at the end to get rid of that last bit!!!

I'm sorry but all this preaching about whether or not he should use DNP needs to stop. As long as someone uses it properly I don't care if they're using it to get from 5% to 4% of if they're looking to go from 20% to 10%. You might as well tell him to not use clen or T-3 or ECA as well because obviously he needs to just diet first. I'm sorry but DNP is probably the BEST way to lose 40 lbs of fat, trying to do that through diet alone will take years, and that is not what anyone in this game is about. This isn't like gear where you need to max out naturally before you use it, it's not hormonal and isn't going to short him somewhere in the future. And it's not the "easy" way out, anyone who had done long or high-dose cycles will tell you what. One of the reasons DNP was prescribed for morbidly obese people back when it was legal to do so because it was one of the safest and most effective ways for someone in that condition to lose weight because exercise and stimulant drugs were not an option. Some of you view DNP as a last result and that may be what works for you, but others are looking for more drastic and immediate results and as long as they follow the DNP protocol properly I think it is a fine choice.
As was pointed out though if this is your first time stick to 200mg for 1-2 weeks to see how you handle it, then take a break and you can try it again longer or for a higher dose. Also do NOT cut carbs on it, eat moderate carbs from simple sugars and cut the fat.
