The higher the amount of fat you burn/day , the lower
the RQ(Respiratory quotient)
RQ ranges from 0.7(Almost 90% fat-burning)
to 1.0(100% carb-burning)
With DNP, the RQ stays at 0.7 and you get the
same symptoms as you would get at high
-altitude(low-oxygen) hence heavy breathing.
The lower the RQ=More carbon dioxide being released.
Not dangerous at all. This is also what happens in
ketogenic type diets when entering ketosis.
