Put the scale away until after you finish, the scale can really mess with your head. I don’t even look in the mirror on dnp because I look like a bag is shit while on
Reason I know, is i get my vitals checked semi regularly so it comes up anyway.

You can increase the cardio when the calories are already low, or that, or take more DNP.... but above all, be patient with fat loss, it should take months, not weeks.

Whenever anyone says they have stalled on DNP and they really are not being delusional about their calorie intake, they have usually stalled because they're just sitting on their ass and not doing anything.

And quite with the T3 it's absolutely worthless with DNP.

There are two potential reasons for this:

1. You're losing fat, but also holding on to a ton of water. This is extremely common with DNP.

2. You're not actually in a calorie deficit. Are you honestly weighing and tracking your every meal?

In that case, it's likely that you're just holding water.

Just in case, though, would you mind posting a representative sample of your daily diet? Include all weights & measures.

This thread is wild and not in a good way. your DNP dose is fairly moderate (a good thing) but I'm shocked you're doing cardio. How much water are you drinking? 1000 calories is super low, too low tbh.

If you want to be hardcore on DNP then do a protein sparing modified fast. Dont eat soup. Eat chicken breast and lean fish and maybe some veggies.

It's no "bad" in and of itself. It has more to do with the fact you're already gonna be dehydrating yourself significantly because of the DNP. I'd be concerned about getting too dehydrated with all the sweating. Guess it depends what kind of cardio you're doing. I always do HIIT.

If you only listen to one thing I have to say please eat sufficient protein. My best DNP run had me eating 200g of protein, no cardio, very minimal lifting. I literally just ate chicken/fish/very lean steak and veggies all day and sat in the snow.

That being said there was one run I did where I ate cake every day. not just a slice but like half a box cake. Still lost fat lol. I was so miserable though, so hot.

I may make a larger batch later on. I have 2KG of the stuff and my own tamping. So I can make any dose I want, its also cold here still and will be for a few months.

Bro if you are that big of a guy why are your calores at 1000? That’s way to low . The only way I’d ever tell someone to do that is it was sa health emergency or something and you just had to to get the weight off asap. If that’s not the case then imo you should drop all the drugs , re asses your current diet cardio and training routine . Maybe get some help from guys here . Just my opinion on what I’d do .
