Days 8-11
Wow! A long time since my last update, eh?
I'm really sorry about that. The truth is, it was the DNP. The lethargy is overwhelming so I would come home from work and crash, and go right to sleep.
So to update on the progress...
Been on 500mg for a few days now.
Current Weight: 175lbs. This has ranged from 174-182 (weighing myself first thing in the morning on an empty stomach). I am noticing almost no bloat. I do find this odd, but it is what it is, the weight loss is definitely there.
Temperature: No significant increase AT ALL. Excellent!
Appetite: No real increase.
Side effects: Big time lethargy, but that's about it. I would question whether this DNP were real if my junk wasn't yellow and if I weren't losing much weight at all. I don't think Dinitrio could come up with a product that helped you lose weight and caused yellow sperm, but who knows?
I have decided that I will be increasing the dose after an additional 6-7 days, for about 6-7 days. I will do this for a very limited amount of time, and I will be monitoring my progress, constantly taking my temp, recording my fluid intake, taking in more V8 among other things. Because heat & sweating/fluid loss side effects have been almost non-existent, and because my temp is still in the 97-98 range, I feel that I can safely accomplish this. Especially due to the freezing weather around here.
I will be taking an additional two days off of work to make sure that I can control all variables and rest (I'll have 5 days off in a row with the additional two days off). I will only be training twice during a 6-7 day period of 750mg dose, and I will immediately stop if I feel that I am in any danger.
I am in no way condoning this dosing protocol, and will let you know if it was a smart choice or a really stupid one. I've seen some people dose as high as 1200mg powder (idiots) and not die (unfortunately, the world needs fewer idiots) and I've seen some logs with 1000mg crystal and that seemed to be ok too. I do not think I will go higher than 750mg, but I will let you know if a 1000mg dose for a day or two becomes a possibility, just for the last two days of the cycle, for experimental purposes.
Anyway, that's it for now, it's working really well!
