DNP Cycle

A short time ago, I got ahold of 30 capsules of DNP, 250mg. Excited, I bought some V8 and planned my meals and workouts along and along, and started my cycle at 500mg per day.  The lowest lethal dose in history is about 4.5mg/KG, which means if I was as weak as possible then 450mg would kill me.  I have a little more vitality than that, and having coached other cycles and saved a few lives from hyperthermia, I felt safe in managing my own body.

It was impressively miserable, though not as bad as I had expected. I discovered a few key things for managing DNP over these 15 days:

• GW1516 is a short-term escape from the heat
• Fructose does not increase body heat like other sugars do
• Do it in the winter
• LISS makes the effects more dramatic
• V8 for vitamins and nutrients

GW1516 is a drug that makes fat metabolism more efficient in cells.  Since this is the typically inefficient method of ATP production that DNP shifts our cells into,  taking this reduces the heat production and can give you a few hours respite from the crushing heat.  I wouldn't recommend this as a means of increasing dosage as GW makes the DNP less effective while active, but I'm exploring ways to get PPAR-d agonists in literature as part of a DNP rescue protocol.

Fructose is processed differently than other carbs, in minor and highly technical ways.  If you need some energy, a bowl of pineapple or a no-sugar-added smoothie will help incredibly. 

I personally slept naked beside my open window every night of the cycle in January in the US. This was the only way I wouldn't wake up dangerously dehydrated. 

Naturally I had no energy during this, but I still dragged myself to the gym and managed to get a half hour of walking or an hour of cycling most days.  You have to take on a strategy that is tolerable to your condition and I highly recommend this. Keep an eye on your body temperature and always slam some V8 or fruit beforehand.  The enhancement of fasted cardio isn't worth it in this state. 

Remember, on DNP you're in a metabolically precarious situation.  Take it seriously, lay off the heavy stimulants, and take care of yourself.

If this helps you, leave a comment.  It keeps me engaged.
