The big things to look out for are tingling in your fingers or toes or loss of the sense of taste. Those are early warnings for peripheral neuropathy, the most common serious side effect. It goes away if you stop taking DNP, but it can get worse and become a long term problem if you try to push through it.One question I have is how do you know when you should stop? What side effects do you start seeing as a signal that your body needs a break. I'd like to go another 30 days at 350-400mg a day. Not having any real bad side effects, even heat isnt too bad, sweat a shit ton at the gym with the mask on though. Heat was more a factor my first cycle of DNP when I got up to 500+mg. Every meal I would sweat like crazy
Staying in shape at all times is the best strategy. A lot of people lost their discipline with diet over the past year when the gyms were closed and they didn't have a way to lift. I know it was hard for me personally to stay lean while my muscles were atrophying away to nothing.Here lies the problem with lots of people. You eat excessive and gain lots of fat. Then you do extreme things to get it off. Unless you compete, why not eat healthy all the time and look your best at all times? I know the problem, it all stems down to will power and staying away from crappy foods and excessive alcohol. You get way out of shape, then instead of slow progressive progress and discipline, you want it fast. Until you practice better nutrition in your life, you will always be like a yo yo. This will have negative effects on you when you get older. Hopefully some of you will change your lifestyle by then.

That's easier said than done, especially after a contest diet.
I agree 100%.
Although, I have learned over the years that it takes me a long time to get out of shape once I’m truly in shape. Losing my shit for a couple days is not going to ruin months of dieting I’ve suffered through. As long as I get back on the wagon I’ll be back to where I started within a week.
A week of eating like Rosie O’Donnell will take around two weeks or so to fix. Or at least get close enough to being fixed that only I’m able to notice that I’m not quite back yet.
Honestly it takes me a few weeks or more of living like an absolute glutinous pig to really ruin months of dieting to the point that repairing the damage is no longer an option and I’m back to basically having to start all over from day 1.
Yeah, I guess most of it is water retention, glycogen and food in the stomach, which makes the weight skyrocket and you look like the snowman instead of a Greek god, lol
Going back to the question above regarding increasing dosage...perhaps adding the additional 200mg every other day would be an option as well instead of jumping right to doubling the dose everyday?Curious but has anyone heard of DNP NOT working? Is it possible to not see any fat loss at 200mg a day over the course of 2 or 3 weeks? It seems the method in which DNP burns fat it would be highly unlikely to not see any results assuming training was in check and diet was clean. In addition, if one wasn't feeling any side effects after a couple weeks would it be wise to increase the dose to 400mg? Seems like a big jump doubling the dose.

My wife started a run and so far she has experienced zero side effects...a little water retention, maybe. I suppose no sides is a good thing but I can't help wonder if she's in the same boat as you. May give it a few more days and introduce another 200mgs EOD and see what happens.I’m an extremely shitty responder to DNP, I don’t get much results from it at all. But I am an outlier as any friends and family I have given the same DNP to have seen very good results from it.
Everyone is different...
Edit: I also know one girl I gave some to that got absolutely nothing from it, less than I did even, not even side effects no her at all while I definitely get the heat. Mind you she weighs 100lbs less than me and was taking the same dose, again everyone is different.

I could not agree with this more. I can hulk out on shitty food for 2-3 days straight. Gain 10-20 lbs, be a bloated mess. Get my my shit straight and have it all off in 6-7 days!!!! Which honestly sometimes I need mentally.I agree 100%.

So true. I’ve had people see me after a ridiculous cheat day and be like “What the fuck happened to you dude?”. And then see me again a week later after I got back to it and ask “How the hell do you do that? Last time I saw you, you looked like shit.”
