hey bro, is your DNP's filler creatine? if so, that 500mg dose is the same as really good 200mg dose. you may have to bump to 750mg. i took 250mg/ed for 7 days and 500mg/ed for 7 days, waited about a week or so and weighed in and had only lost like 8-9lbs. i think that the creatine may be fighting the DNP and therefore making it less potent. i've heard of guys feeling like a furnace on 200mg, but i felt normal even on 500mg.
