DNP and ZERO carbs...my experience

[BigRugbyMan]

Going Hypo on DNP is not BS. It happened to me. I blacked out. When i took my blood sugar it was 30.

So it can happen. It's not fun. If you start feeling like you are going Hypo, get some carbs in you.

now that peice of the puzzle is actually logical to me, thanks bigrugbyman. good thing i have a bloodsugar monitor, so i guess i could just keep low carb but have some fructose orsomething when i tip 70

Yes... The less carbs, the lesser the heat..

But carbs are essential while on DNP to preserve muscle. If you are eating zero carbs, your liver is working hard to make the minimal glucose (out of muscle protein) that your body NEEDS to fuel certain tissues that ONLY utilize glucose..

IMO, minimal carbs? yes.. zero carbs-- no.

andy you dont think your body will get the through gluconeogenisis of ingested protein?

 

[Andy13]

There are certain aminos that tend to be used in gluconeogenesis...

If you wish to go no-carb, then fine.. But I would recomend taking glycerol.. This will aid in muscle preservation..

I am coming off my first DNP cycle. I was taking it slow to see what kind of sides I would experience. I was taking all the neccessary vits and some glycerol. I kept my carbs as low as possible. 200mg a day for the last nine days. I stopped taking yesterday to let the bloat leave me as I am going out of town for a wedding. To cut to the chase, I started out at 212lbs last Saturday. I weighed myself this morning and am at 197lbs. I am assuming a great deal of it is fat. I can't wait to see the end result. I did notice if I kept my carbs really low that I would start to get a headache, but as soon as I got some carbs in me I was good.

Well the orignal thing i was told was that DNP and no carbs is bad news, something like blindness and brain damage or some shit...i think ANIMAL shared this view...all i know is that you feel fine with DNP and no carbs and lose pure fat.

My last communication with Dan Duchaine, before he died, was a discussion about DNP. He suggested to me that DNP works better when taking carbs. He suggested a low carb diet without DNP week 1. Then carb up week 2, taking 300mg DNP twice daily (male dosage). Then low carb without DNP week, and so on. He also suggested cardio/cycle training as the exercise of choice, for you will not be strong enough to push heavy weights. Also, the cardio will burn more calories. I never tried the regimen, but he informed me of people losing 7-10 lbs of fat on average per week. You continue the cycle until you are done reducing. His cycle made sense, from a biochemical point of view. I would love to try it, but I can't get my hands on DNP. The chemical company I have an account with will only ship it to a lab.

i trust the ANIMAL

do his diet, it´s perfect for DNP... perfect.

the only thing u have to remember is to drink shitloads of water and anti-ox

What about running it low carb, except for fructose to keep liver sustained and prevent dehydratino/hypo/muscle loss, and V8 to replace electrolytes with low-calorie vegetable sources?
