Andy - how high in mgs do you go for the two days personally?? And how low do you go in cals?? give us some numbers!!
I to to eat like a Samalian... The deal is, weight loss while on DNP depends on two things ONLY..
1) caloric intake (I have said nothing about sources of calories)
2) energy expenditure
I wanted to state this to dismiss those rediculous myths that you can eat anything you want on DNp and still lose weight.. You may 'still lose weight' but the amount of fat you lose while on DNP will be minimal if you pig out.
My tested theory, in a nutshell, is, you will lose the same amount of fat on DNP so long as 1) energy expenditure is same and 2) TOTAL amount of DNP is same.
What I mean by this is....
For instance, you can take 2000mg of DNP over 5 days, taking 400mg/day and you will lose the same amount of fat as if you took 2000mg over (for instance) 2 days... BUT you have to keep cals the same!
My results came when I would take 1200mg at 0hrs and 800mg at 24hrs... a total of 2000mg of DNP... And after day 7, I was ready to do it again.. Compare this with someone taking 400mg ED.. After 5 days (the same TOTAL amount of DNP) they cannot start another cycle right away as I can b/c their DNP levels are too high to permit recovery..
My type of cycle is for someone wishing to lose the most fat in the least amount of time.. The beauty of it is that I believe this is the ALSO the most comfortable way to lose high amounts of fat while on DNP... As you can see from the picture, the highest amounts of blood DNP are within the first few days and then dramatically drop after that.. However, with 400mg ED, you feel the DNP every single day...
You might say "but from the graph, the blood levels are higher for the 1200mg at 0hrs, 800mg at 24hrs then they ever are for a straight 400mg ED dose..."
This is correct.. however, an important observation I made was that the 'like-shit' feeling you get while on DNP is mostly from improper food intake but mostly from depleted glycogen stores.. During the first 2-3 days on the high dose cycle, when DNP levels are highest, your glycogen stores are not depleted! This means that, even though your blood levels are highest, you still won't feel as lethargic as you would on day 5 at 400mg ED..
