Ha ha! A McD shake is pure sugar. I don't think that could work. My mouth will be wired shut for 1 month, so I can only brush on the outside. The doctor told me that I will have to avoid anything sugary in order to avoid developing cavities. :(

I don't think it makes sense to compare our situations as they are very different. Weight training is contraindicated as it places stress on the jaw. I'm an ectomorph, so I'm a very hard gainer. If I lose another 10lb, it will be VERY hard and long for me to gain it back. I really want to...

Yes I plan on surviving on protein shakes through a straw, but there is just no way I can consume 1100-1500 calories through a straw. I'll already be on painkillers, etc.

I'm undergoing jaw surgery in a month and my mouth will be wired shut for 1 month. I will only be able to drink out of a straw and my caloric intake will be limited. I'd like to know what I could take to avoid muscle wasting/atrophy (without taking to many risks to my health). I've previously...

Here are my lab results: SHBG 29.3 nmol/L Bioavailable testosterone 9.94 nmol/L (287 ng/dl) Testosterone 18.45 nmol/L (532 ng/dl) T3 Free 4.81 pmol/L Also used an online calculator to calculate my free testosterone: 12 ng/dl Is it absolutely necessary to take test as a base? From what I can...

I'm 5'5", 135lb, 38 years old, ectomorph, 15% BF. I'm looking for a very slim defined figure with a 6 pack, and a bit muscular. I work out 3x/week and am a classic ectomorph/hard-gainer. PAST EXPERIENCE: I have taken testosterone 400mg/week and equipoise for 4 months, but I saw a huge amount of...

So I started a 3rd cycle of 11 days of 500-750/day of crystal DNP on Feb 23. I left my window open - it was -15 outside but it cooled me down greatly. I had gastro on the last day and had to stop. I started off at 142lb and I am now at 135lb. Coincidentally, I went for my regular annual labs...

I just wanted to give you guys an update. I was taking 750mg Dinitro crystal DNP for 3 more weeks but my weight was stuck at 143.5 and I had very few side effects. It seems that DNP simply stops working after a certain point. I read somewhere about this effect and that if you wait 3 weeks...

So I started another DNP cycle last Thursday. I've been taking 750mg (3 capsules) every night. But I have noticed that even though I've been taking it for 6 days, my weight is stuck at 146lb. I have also noticed extreme lethargy, so I started taking 10mg of T3 twice a day (20mg) and I got my...

It is truly shocking how much cold weather mitigates the side effects here. Air conditioning during the summer is not enough to lower your temperature to a comfortable degree. You really need frigid temperatures, anything below 10C, but preferably below 5C. The unfortunate part of my DNP...

So I restarted the DNP after a two day break. Same dosage: 250mg/morning and 500mg/bedtime. I'm also experiencing extreme lethargy, so I added a very small dosage of T3 (15mg/day). I got massive cravings on Sunday and binged on 3000 calories of chinese dumplings, ice cream and pastries -- so I...

No. From what I can see, crystal DNP acts differently than powder DNP. You feel the effects within 6 hours. My goal is to maintain the same low-side effect profile that I have experienced until now. I am only losing 0.5lb/day in comparison to 1lb a day, but I'm happy with that. As you can...

To give you guys an update, the last dose I took was on Wed night. I had a business meeting on Thursday and a hot date on Friday night, so I'm thinking of restarting Saturday morning after this 2 day "break". I had a bit of diarrhea yesterday but it stopped today. Incidentally, I weighed...

Yes! My plan is to take the DNP at the same dose until I tire of the side effects (I usually stop the night before if I have a date or business meeting). Given that many guys report 1lb loss per day and I report 0.5lb loss per day... I seem to be a slow responder to DNP, so my cycle may last...

Ok this thread is turning into a flaming mess. Ajntorinj is not the OP. I am. Get your facts straight. Instead of assuming I'm a couch potato following no diet, wouldn't it be better to ask? I'm on a 1500-1800 calorie, very high protein and low carb diet. While on DNP, I am not doing...
