The way I run DNP is this: I start low, I slowly increase the dose, and then I stay at a low dose that has minimal side effects. For me, that's 200-300mg/day with an accurately dosed product. I run much lower doeses, that are much more comfortable, than the high doses that bodybuilders usually use. I see no reason to suffer on DNP when I don't need to. A low dose of 300 mg/day increases metabolic rate an average of about 45% with minimal side effects. That's the way I think DNP should be used, not with stupid, high-dose inferno cycles that put your life at risk and that make you feel like walking death. With lower doses, you can run the DNP for as long as you need to reach your goals. That might be 2 weeks, 4 weeks, or 4 months. If tolerance develops (indicated by the disapparance of side effects), increase the dose by a small amount. Make sure the side effects continue to be mild, otherwise lower the dose. Cut calories at least 500 per day. Keep protein intake high. Add EC and/or
clen for fat mobilization, appetite supression, and increased energy. Lift heavy for a couple of good compound sets, hitting each body part 2-3x a week. Add cardio if you're so inclined.
Also, here's a post I made that sums up my advice on some of the DNP basics:
Quote:
The first time you take DNP, you want to run it for a few days at a low dosage to make sure you're not allergic to it. I'd run the lowest dose you have, be it 100 or 200mg, for 4 - 5 days. If there's no itching or rash, then you're probably good to up the DNP dose to 200mg/day for the next 4-5 days. You probably won't notice much, if anything, from 200mg/day. However some people find this to be the optimal dose. You'll be able to tell based on the side effects and your temperature. You want a dose where you notice the side effects, but they're not excessive. If they're not, then bump it up to 300mg/day for the next 4-5 days.
Note that even when you're taking the same dosage, it's slowly accumulating due to a long half life. 300mg/day is the sweet spot for most people. They notice the sides (heat, a little sweating, a little tired, a little thirsty, a little out of breath), but the sides are not bad. Fat loss is good. It's a good trade off and a safe place to stop (for most people). Some people who are particularly tolerant to DNP will feel little to nothing at 300mg/day and will want to go higher. Also, many DNP products are underdosed and will require higher doses. Just follow the same protocol, at least 4-5 days at each dosage before increasing it. Pay attention to the sides. Reduce your dose if it's too much.
Now as you do this, you should be taking your temperature a few times per day. Get a digital thermometer at Walmart if you don't have one. They're cheap. This is the #1 thing you can do to prevent (and stay far away from) overdosing on DNP. Death from overdosing is actually very rare, but it happens, so it's smart to take precautions. If at any time your temperature is over 99.1 (above normal), you need to lower your dosage of DNP. A high temperature is the number 1 sign of impending toxicity. Watch your temperature and use it as a guide to let you know if it's time to back off on your DNP dosage. And of course, even if your temperature is normal, back off on your dosage if you're not feeling well or if the sides seem excessive to you. No reason to suffer for nothing.
If you follow these precautions, slowly increase your dosage, and reducing your dosage if the sides (or your temperature) ever become excessive, you should have an effective, yet comfortable experience.
Finally, watch your diet. Don't blow the magic of the drugs with a crappy willpower and a crappy diet. Keep your protein intake high (at least 1g per pound of bodyweight per day) and keep your caloric intake down. You do that, and you should make some kick-ass progress. Then, when you end the cycle, follow it up with a good diet and consistent training so you don’t undo everything.
