Hi all.
I'm using this post to track my first DNP run.
I plan to start Monday and will be doing 100g a day for 5 days, then 200g a day for 9 days.
I know this is very conservative but frankly with the reputation of this compound, I'd rather take it easy my first time - lifting and fitness is a long term affair so what's a few weeks?
I have already taken a solitary 100g cap to ensure I didn't keel over.
Background
I'm currently sitting at 154lb and am 5'9". Pretty light, but I still have the dreaded love handles and a saggy gut.
Part of this I believe is due to a 90lb weight loss using CICO.
I've been lifting fairly consistently for a couple of years, but don't really look like it since I've always been on a massive defecit.
I'm hoping to lose most of this surplus fat during this (and maybe a subsequent) run so I can go back to maintenance for a while before starting a long slow surplus.
I've been spinning my wheels for too long now so I'm hoping to break the cycle.
Supplements
Multivitamins
3g vitamin C
1000iu vitamin E
2 electrolyte tabs a day (with 500ml water)
2g pyruvate
I have Benadryl to hand
And of course lots of water
I have been tracking my body temp for a while so have a baseline.
Diet
I've been eating at a big defecit for around a year now (with the odd break for holidays) and progress has been painfully slow. I'm currently at around 1200kcal a day. I have started to eat maintenance (1900kcal) for the last day or two in an effort to be able to "reset metabolism", which I had planned to do for a couple of weeks.
I think I'll probably stick to around 1400kcal during the run.
Protein is around 0.9 per lb bodyweight. Carbs I keep fairly low, around 150g.
Routine
I'll be continuing my very short PPLxPPL routine which I squeeze into my lunch break at work.
Cardio could definitely be improved to be honest but I struggle with squeezing it in sometimes. That said I do get in around 12000 steps a day split over several short walks.
To be continued Monday...
Hey man
Not trying to be a dick
But you're 159 lbs
Maybe do a recomp instead of a cut?
It will only make things easier in your longer journey
You are eating 1400cal, you just described my lunch.
You'll need to put in muscle at some point or you will literally always look bad.
Good for thought
Check out my pictures, I cut twice on DNP and lost 15-20kgs in 2 months my second time.

Shut the fuck up
You would blow away with a decent gust of wind.
Dont give fitness or compound advice to anyone
