I started taking DNP 15 days ago at ~400mg per day, starting weight 192.4lbs. Here's how it went week by week.
First Week
Days 1–5 were basically nothing. I thought I might be immune to the sides or something. Day 6 hit different though—unbearable heat out of nowhere, developed a fever too. It was rough. Day 7 was still unbearable so I skipped the dose. Day 8 the heat was more bearable but the fever stuck around, so I skipped again on day 9.
By day 10 the fever was gone and heat was negligible. Dropped the dose to 300mg.
Second Week & Beyond
Days 10–15 have been pretty smooth. Heat is negligible, fever's gone. Lethargy from the first few days wore off too.
Current Status
I'm now 172.8lbs, so I've lost about 19.6lbs in 15 days. Planning to keep going until I hit around 150lbs.
What I Did (Or Didn't Do)
Didn't work out or do cardio the whole time. Just ate one meal a day in the evening for the first 12 days. Also picked up a cold during this, probably from the elevated temps messing with my immune system more than DNP itself.
Only supplement I took was electrolytes on the days the heat was unbearable. My pee was always deep orange in the mornings but got progressively lighter as the day went on—classic dehydration even though I was drinking water.
Starting bodyweight exercises at home from today. Won't hit the gym until February after exams.
