Day 3 - 8.6 lbs lost

Still doing fine but low energy from PSMF. Hunger didnt hit quite as hard last night. Ine more day at 200mg then I'm going to bump it up to 400mg.

The only thing I've really been noticing is feeling sore. It almost feels as though I had a low intensity full body workout and have mild pumps all over.

How are you down almost 9lbs in 3 days? DNP causes water retention and usually some weight gain in the first few days. Even if you were bloated from carb loading hard to imagine 9lbs.

I’m curious to try DNP because I like experimenting.

There have been people that come to the board though months later and are ****ed up from it. I can’t remember the condition. Maybe something to do with edema?

I thought I remember MRZ commenting that something goes wrong with a very few people.

What is that condition and can cake reverse the effects?
Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is the main understated nasty side effect. Not what you are referring to but worth bringing up - easily the biggest issue when it comes to sensible DNP use.
Whether you get it will be determined by genetics. Not correlated to dose or length of use. I estimate the chances at around 20% based on the scientific and anecdotal data. Possibly correlated to the quality of the DNP powder since incident rates have increased drastically today vs the 1930s.
No pro-active measures to protect you against getting it. If you do develop symptoms, the likelihood is the damage is already extensive (as in the symptoms will get worse) and the only recommended course of action is to stop taking DNP immediately.
It is a reversible condition although it takes a long time to fully reverse (years in some cases - healing the damage to your nerve casing is an inefficient process).

Couple things most likely... I had a massive meal the night before with the in-laws, and I'm following a very rigid PSMF styled diet.

I dont attribute any of the weight lost so far to anything other than water and glycogen, maybe a bit of fat. I anticipate the true weight loss numbers will start tomorrow.

I get MAJOR muscle spasms in my legs while running DNP, only in the legs. Everytime i go to stand up, i extend 1 leg slowly at a time getting off the couch bc you can see it twitch/roll as extending. I get enough liquids in so def hydrated as can be and double up on supplements to ensure no decrease in those.

No cramping or spasms but only on day 3 lol. Drinking approx 1.25 gallons of water per day.

There has been an uptick in the poop department for sure. I've been sending FD photos for his collection.

Hell no lol. Very very low cal but not sub 1000 and certainly not for a few month. Few weeks maybe, but part of that will be the recovery and going back to maintenance and adding carbs and fats back it.

Things are definitely starting to heat up tonight! Not terrible, but noticeable.

Spongy about to be LIT!!!

I ironically started mine the other day as well. Figured I'd run it thru Xmas with a little different approach with higher carb intake around the holidays to see the difference with lower carb/lower sides, etc. Had the always dreaded low blood sugar in the middle of the night so had to take glucose tabs...thus starting the endless roller coaster run with DNP.

Day 4 - Down 9.2 lbs
Day 1 of 400mg

Feeling pretty good this morning. Had a pretty carb heavy meal for dinner last night (about 125g) so pretty surprised to still have lost anything as my weight was up almost 7 pounds after the meal and .5 gal of water.

Doing a split dose for the 400mg. 200mg in the morning and 200mg in the evening.

Urine is kinda light neon, but that and the slight warmth last night are the only "sides" so far.
