Can high protein stop DNP being catabolic?

[scottswald]

I already eat big a's protocol diet of 500g protein per day reguardless so i dont want any replies saying i dont need to eat that much protein

I'm going to try DNP at 500mg ED and was wondering if a high protein intake
would stop me being catabolic even if the calories were mega low?

basically if i eat my 500g protein and try to keep carbs and fats next to nothing, thats well under 2500 cals, will the protein ensure no muscle is used as energy?

PS. currently cruising so using about 0.6 grams of gear each week.

DNP itself has been shown to have anti catabolic properties if i remember right...

Correct.
Gear also helps. But you'll lose muscle on anything that's below your requirement if it's low enough, long enough. But what's YOUR requirement, with gear, on DNP? No one can say for sure.

My guess is though, 600mg of AAS + DNP + 500 grams of protein, probably not going catabolic.

I don't ever lose muscle on DNP, and I run DNP a lot.
I have used it many times without AAS and did not lose muscle, but now I always run a light dose with it. A small dose of tren while on DNP really helps take the fat off.
DNP is by far my favorite fatburner. Its not hard on the heart, doesn't kill your appetite, and doesn't eat muscle.

Lets say DNP didn't even have an anti-catabolic effect.

Due to the fact that you only have to keep a maintenance caloric intake to lose weight you should still be good and not lose any muscle.

It just makes you look flat because it pulls the glycogen out to use as energy so you look smaller but you actually haven't lost any size at all. After 5 days or so off of it you'll lose the water weight that you've gained from it(and that is if you have) and your muscles will blow back up.

^ That right there is the absolute truth. Ive used DNP two times before...and about 3 days into DNP, your muscles just instantly become flat. And no matter how many carbs u consume, they will remain flat. Stop the drug, and within 10-12 days, the bloat will be 100% gone and if you do a carbload, your body will reload and put it inside muscle tissue.

Check out the thread in using insulin with DNP (or IGF1) if you can't stand the flatness that happens on DNP. I have used both with good results.
I just finished a DNP cycle where I used 10-15iu of insulin PWO. I stayed much fuller than doing DNP alone.

cheers guys, ive gained a lot of confidence from reading that.

My dnp is supposed to arrive tomorrow morning and i'll be starting right away, just 500mg for 10 days, hopefully i'll be pleased with the results :headbang:

I might take some before and afters and post them if i dont look like utter shit

 

[scottswald]

Just to add, im going to try and train as normal and do 45mins of fasted am cardio on non training days, this sound ok?

any last minute tips guys?

yeah i read that and considered doing 10iu pwo on training days, but i thought im not gonna be close to big and full reguardless and if i stick to nearly zero carbs fat loss will be more and rebound should be immense?

I wouldnt jump right into 500 if its your first run bro....start at 250mg for a few days at least.

Ive always just done 21 day runs at 250...fat pours off ya
