After countless hours of research and two years of extensive use of DNP off and on, I have come to a conclusion: this is one of the most overrated and useless drugs in the bodybuilding scene today.
I have done everything from month-long low-doses (200mg) to short burst cycles starting with 1000mg. So first off, let’s look at some of the side-effects you will experience at the higher end of this dosage range. Anyone who downplays these side-effects needs to first examine the quality of their DNP. I get mine straight from a factory and cap it myself, measuring it exactly. There is no guessing.
Heat. You’ve all heard this one. You will feel as if you have been swallowed up in the bowels of el Diablo. You will sweat profusely, stain your clothes and sheets yellow, and feel like you have a fever. You need to be in a heavily air-conditioned room all day with superfluous amounts of cold water, or you will jeopardize your health. You will not exercise; you will hope you die to get it over with.
Respiration. This is probably my most hated one. You will experience a constant shortness of breath. You will feel like you are running a marathon all day even if you do not move at all. You will constantly struggle to catch your breath, but you never will. Good luck falling asleep.
Nausea. You will have a constant urge to vomit. My saving grace on this one was a drug called Aciphex which helped but did not eliminate the nausea.
Hunger. You will feel constantly hungry and crave carb-laden foods which will only add gasoline to the fire burning inside. You will be able to eat 3x as much as you normally do, and unless you have willpower of steel, you will eat three times as much and not even realize it. You will get that hypoglycemic feeling often and have to consume large amounts of fructose to quell it.
Neurochemistry. While I haven’t read significant scientific literature concerning this subject in particular (not that there is much on DNP, we don’t know as much about this drug as we’d like to think we do), from my experience DNP contributes highly to depression. While this may only concern individuals pre-disposed to it, it is still a significant thing to consider.
Edema. You will feel bloated from water during this whole time and will be discouraged since you are not changing dramatically in the mirror. This will fade roughly five days after ceasing use.
Bottom line: You will feel like utter shit.
Given all this, why would someone still want to use DNP? For the glorified and amazing fat-loss results, right? It’s been made out to be the ultimate fat-loss solution. You know what I say to that? Bullshit. Yes, it works. But to the degree some people make it out to be? No way. You will lose some fat. You will also lose some muscle if you do not concurrently use AAS to counter the catabolism (anyone who refutes this is full of shit and has not used DNP).
The truth of the matter is I can burn more fat and delve into single-digit body fat much, much easier by pure strict diet, lifting weights, and moderate AAS use. On top of all that, I’ll feel like a million bucks as opposed to wanting to commit suicide from all the completely unnecessary side-effects of DNP. I will eat less, be able to be in public without looking like I have serious health problems, have infinitely more energy, have actual mental acuity, and not feel like vomiting all day.
This whole DNP craze needs to stop and people need to examine the reasons why they’re looking for these magic fixes instead of what we ALL know really works: diet, exercise, and AAS.
