Sort of fell off the deficit wagon for a week. Still on 200mg ED, but the loss of strength was starting to really bug me. What surprised me was adding 1000 calories to my existing 500 calorie deficit resulted in a gain of 10 lbs in just over a week, and I gained nothing on any lift. I stupidly kept carbs low to avoid sides.
Fortunately most of the weight came back off the first two days I returned to deficit eating, and I should be back to 225 by next Friday. I guess I would have had to stop the DNP to get some strength back, but I stayed with the 200mg. I guess I'll call it a learning experience instead of a waste of two weeks : )
