I agree with red52.
I've been on 250mg of DNP for 26 days and it has not interfered with my training, work, or anything else I am doing other than making me sweat more than usual. I drink TONS of water, I am dead serious, I have a water bottle in my hand more often than not.
I hit a PR on bench a couple weeks ago despite being on DNP.
I am flat and holding water bigtime in my lower back, love handles, and lower abs, but this is how it always is, and the looks after 10-14 days from my last capsule is where the real changes can be seen.
I eat right around maintenance cals and I don't overdo any particular macros. I am pretty even across the board, 33% protien, 33% carb, 33% healthy fats (fish oil, olive oil, coconut oil, whole eggs).
I try to make the majority of my carbs from fruit and/or veggies for health reasons and to get more antioxidants in for the DNP.
tablespoon glycerine 3x per day
taurine
calcium pyruvate throughout the day
Magnesium taurate throughout the day
Keep a huge jug of cold green tea with you, you are going to need to hydrate even if you are not feeling very thirsty, and GT has more antioxidants than water. It helps keep the water retention down a little bit too.
Take those supps and you will feel so much better while on DNP, it makes a huge difference.
Be sure to use antioxidants, the more the better; glutathione, idebenone, rhodiola, resveratrol, curcumin, blueberries, NAC, ALA, etc.
