Well, if you are going to do a 'classic' dnp cycle, I would tend to agree that the sides are too harsh. Not only can you not do anything, you don't want to do anything. It is miserable. Effective yes, livable, no.
I would have no problem recommending a low dose dnp cycle to anyone who would want to do it. I wouldn't just say here, take these. But you get the point. I would even tell my mom it's ok.
For me, that means 200mg/day. No more. At that dose, I am hotter than normal, sweat more than normal, and can tell I don't have much stamina because of the lack of carbs available. Other than that, I am fine. No crankiness like a lowcarb diet, I can eat anything I want, I get visibly leaner every day, etc.
As for the danger, it's overrated. Can you die from it? Yes, but you can also die from too much water, aspiring, salt, etc. I also think it is not too difficult to take just one or two pills and stop. If you are soooo forgetful that you fear taking 10 because you 'forgot', then this might not be for you. Otherwise, dnp is fine.
If you want to do dnp fine, if not fine. I am not here to talk you into anything. Read, make your own decisions. But my days of making decisions based wholly, or in part, based on fear are over. So go sell your 'it's explosive and it's an insecticide' to someone else. When you start down that path, your intent is not to help or to educate, it is to frighten others into your way of thinking.
