I read George's article on Belviq and decided to give it a try. One week in I think this stuff will soon be a staple of many people's cutting cycles. It can best be described as "Will power in a bottle."
I wrote several self studies about DNP more than a decade ago (most notably when I tried to out eat DNP and found that at 600mg I couldn't out eat the drug.) My conclusion was that DNP was actually going to be useless to most people because although it was phenomenal for burning off body fat - once people went off their 2-4 week cycle everybody put the fat right back on.
I came to believe that DNP should not be considered more successful than behavior modification, ie diet and exercise.
But that is the problem. Most here can increase exercise, but dieting aka calorie restriction aka eating less sucks. You can feel tired, low energy.., and come nighttime the will power fads and you start eating.. undoing the entire days effort. The next day you start the same vicious cycle again.
Let's face it... Dieting sucks.
My first thought on Belviq was "Hey, I don't feel like crap." in fact, I actually felt fresh and energized... Ie, normal. There is no speedy amphetamine like effect from the drug... But I actually felt normal... The kind of every day healthy happy that makes it easier to stick with something. I cut calories to 2,000 a day and am keeping it low carb and low glycemic as best as possible. So far I've dropped from 233.8lbs to 228.8lbs, but what is most noticeable to me is how easy the first week was in sticking like glue to my diet. I have had NO carb cravings, no temptation to cheat at all... And I feel good on what I am eating.
Getting away from the psychological "down" of dieting is making cutting calories a breeze. I'm boxing and kick boxing 3 hours a day... Weight training 45 min 5 days a week.. and so far I am high energy and feel great. (I'm also sleeping well. Cutting calories usually causes me to be restless... But so far no problem.) that's why I am calling this stuff will power in a bottle. In reality, will power is the key to a successful diet.. and so far this stuff rocks.
I will try to update this weekly. I am trying to go down to six pack abs.
