I am not a body builder by any stretch of the imagination, but I need some serious results as I’m only getting bigger and my health is going to get more at risk.
Have a wife and kids, is DNP safe for an Obese person? Or am I going to be setting my family up to collect a life insurance check?

I have a wife and kids who I care about and I'm concerned that my health is at risk so I'm going to take a potentially dangerous drug which I know very little about as a quick fix!

No. It's a terrible idea.

How about you make a lifestyle change and start monitoring and restricting your calorie intake and doing some exercise?

I imagine it's taken you a long time to get obese. It doesn't happen overnight. And it won't be solved overnight either. It'll take a long time, dedication and consistency but if you're tired of feeling like your health is at risk and care about your wife and kids, you'll be willing to put the work in.

I lost 95 lbs and had never even heard of it. You don't need to poison yourself with that nonsense. Cleaning up your diet and being more and more active will do you wonders man.

Start simple , try to eliminate sugary drinks and snacks , make some good meal choices. Get a handle on just how many calories you need for your height and weight , subtract 500 from that and go from there.

A simple walk around the block to start with , then go twice a day and so on , try some planks when you are ready , get some light dumb bells to work with. Then once you start to drop some of the weight off and feel better , get your wind up , add in more and more activity.

Wish you all the best mate , stick around ask a ton of questions , but no man , you dont need to poison yourself to lose weight.

What all people need to do is 1st get your diet and exercise in check and consistent then you use DNP as a tool not as a crutch. This is advice for anyone at any weight considering using it

For you, DNP or cyanide = same difference. Yeah, you will lose weight as your body rots. Good luck brah.

Don't do DNP, its not an easy out. Here's a relatively simple solution you can try if working out hard isn't your thing.

My son went from 320 to 210 in a year by hiking 8miles 5+ days a week. He didn't change his diet much, because his diet was set by mother (lives with her 250 miles away). I suggest changing your diet as your first recourse.

Here's easy choices any person can do to automatically lose weight:

Start simple:
1. Stop drinking soda or at THE VERY LEAST go to diet if you have to, but cut it out if possible.
2. Lower salt intake
3. Remove sugar and use a substitute sweetener
4. Lower calories if possible try 1800-2200 calories.
5. Don't eat after 7pm
6. Walk at the fastest pace at an incline 4 or more days a week (treadmill), hiking will produce more results (outside). Walking 3 days a week in the same manner for weight maintenance.
7. If your heart can take it, take a thermogenic

This isn't a sure fire way to hit all your goals, but simple changes like in the beginning will produce great results for those who are severely over weight.

Lastly, don't expect a miracle over night, but usually men can get weight off faster in the beginning from what I've seen. If you're hitting a stalling period, then you need to start burning more calories than you're taking in. So lower your calories or increase your exercise.

Bodybuilder or not, simple changes turn into a healthier lifestyle path, by accident.

Hope it helps.

How much life insurance do you have?

He doesn’t need to cut calories that drastic when he weighs 350lb, also not eating after 7pm is a load of garbage too. Every other point i agree with though

DNP will help temporarily, I’m not going to lie to you, but without fixing your eating habits you’re just going to gain the weight right back.

Sustainable weigh loss comes through lifestyle changes and healthier eating habit, not ingesting herbicides.

Nothing I say will add value aside from reinforcing that by no stretch of the imagination do you need DNP.

You sir just need to get on a solid path for nutrition and exercise, a lifestyle change not a temporary diet or aid.

We're here if you're serious. Good luck.

No one ever hit 350lbs by eating vegetables

Challenge accepted.
Honestly
Hitting 350lb from clean veggies... that would be more inpressive than hitting 250 show ready.

I have a hard time hiding disdain for the morbidly obese.
Its always "My thyroid" or "I dont know how this happened"

My thyroid is dead too, but there is something called Levothyroxine... a pill a day and youre GTG

Also, potato chips, candy bars and Bacon dont consume themselves

Do not use DNP. I have been there, I dropped from 355 down to 192. You can do it without drugs but you have to be motivated and consistent. Just going on a diet will not work because if you view it as a diet, diets start and diets end, at the end you go back to eating the way you were and it all comes back and then some.
Change your eating habits, this can be done in baby steps or cold turkey. Baby steps for some is easier. By baby steps, would look like, Take away drinking a soda or eating a dessert and replace it with 1 serving of fruit or veggies. Next week replace that plate full of bacon with a 4oz sirloin. The idea is 1 step at a time replace something bad for you <high in fat or sugar, dense in calories> with something good for you. Try to stay away from processed foods, eat whole foods. The more fibrous veggies you can eat and high protein foods the more satiated you will be and the less likely to raid the pantry for snacks.
Or go cold turkey. No more sweets and sugary foods. Eat lean meats at every meal with 2 servings of veggies and some fruit <try to get some of all the colors in the fruits and veggies>. Until you lean down some avoid pasta and rice and eat sweet potato instead of white potatoes. Drink 1 gallon of water <minimum> every day. Walk at least 2 miles per day or swim if you have a pool. Do resistance training as well.
Most important, never give up! We are all here to help and support you as long as you are willing to put in the work!

Mmmmmmm miss those things....

OP i went 325 to 185 and the depending on what goals are bounce between 200 and 220ish for the most part. Its easy as shit when you are over 300, at least to get started. Eat healthier foods, cut the junk and walk... I will garauntee you will drop 5 plus lbs a week for the first little while. As the weight starts to slow up add some more walking or other exercise and it will continue to drop. Then start cutting calories. The hardest part, nutting up and starting then keeping consistent
