Hey all...
I'm doing a FNP run, so far two weeks into it. 200mg the first day, no issues so i went to 400mg / day. Yesterday was day 14 so I thought I would post some info. I usually take it at about 4:00PM to 6:00PM. I'm 56 yo.
Calorie deficit is between 600 and 800 calories per day, depending upon how trustworthy the TDEE calculators are. No cardio; the gym has tight restrictions.
Sides have not been bad. Definitely feeling warm some evenings, but not all evenings. Last night I had a headache, a side that occasionally happened in my prior run (2018) and Tylenol fixes that. Sleep is poor some nights, but that's not too unusual for me regardless. No rashes, hint of PN, death (haha) or anything like that. No severe hunger, some fatigue. At first the weight was flying off. The first 10 days, just about 7 pounds. Since then it has slowed, especially the last 3 days. Just about 10 pounds down overall. But I also know DNP will cause water retention and, supposedly, the weight will fly off after I discontinue.
I plan two more weeks, reassess and decide if I'll stop or drive on. I would like to drop 12 or so more pounds.
Comments appreciated, and I'll update as warranted.
Cheers!
