DNP to jumpstart Ketosis. Anybody try it?

[razer2000]

Has anybody taken DNP to get them into Ketosis, you know, to jumpstart the process.

It always takes me 2 to 4 days to get in Ketosis when I start a Atkins-style diet. I was thinking of dropping some DNP tabs just to deplete my glycogen and put me in ketosis a lot faster.

Anybody try this? Did it work?

I don't know if it would work, but...

Why would you start with something that is amazingly effective (dnp), and then immediately stop it so you could go do something with more sides and is less effective. That does not make any sense to me.

The only way I would do keto is if I had no dnp.

You don't need to deplete muscle glycogen [thank's a lot for starting that one, dd] only liver glycogen.

So to answer your question, yes it will help.

What guys don't understand is that there will be close to the same amount of aminos lost if ketosis is achieved in 1 day or three days... It takes your liver TIME to make the enzymes needed to mass produce ketone bodies...

I've done Keto diets and DNP and I feel much, much better doing the Keto diet. I can still function like a normal human being and not be uncomfortable 24/7 like I was on DNP.

As for DNP results, I wasn't all that impressed. A whole lotta suffering for a few pounds of fat. I will try it again, but this time I will be much more prepared. I'll have the fat calipers, supplements, things like that.
