DNP & Ketogenic diet

[prophet]

i started a low dose dnp cycle planned for 30 days @250mg powdered dnp everyday. i am trying to do a modified CKD diet. the modification is carbs in the morning and no (carb up day.)basically i have my protein pancakes in the morning (about 50 carbs) and for the rest of the day i got for as little carbs as possible. i'm having problems on day 3. i feel terribly sluggish and lethargic. i am also taking clen which isn't helping my energy levels much. i am wondering what i should do. i can't say what my results are because it is just too soon. i am asking if anyone would suggest a diet for a 30 day low dose dnp and clen cycle...btw i am planning on taking the clen all 30 days no 2 on 2 off.

Any kind of high fat diet while on DNP is a terrible idea. Dnp depletes glycogen stores and lowers your blood sugar levels like nothing else, if your doing a high fat diet and feel like shit its no wonder.

Q: Should I use a keto diet when I take [DNP]? Maybe put myself into ketosis with small amounts of insulin? Is there anything I can take to block the carb cravings while on DNP?


A: NO, DO NOT DO A KETO DIET! DNP strives on carbohydrates (carbs), so if you do a keto you will not see any results, your body will not be able to use fats for heat; thus, you will get no fat loss. An ideal diet on DNP would be 60% carbs/ 30% protein/ 10 % fat. These percentages are taken from the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) calculations. BMR= weight x 12 => amount of daily caloric intake to maintain current weight.
