thread isn't really about what dnp should/should not be used for, just my experience with it... I appreciate the more level headed response and like others who have voiced similar opinion, they are duly noted. We disagree obviously. I have been on a strict keto/carb cycle diet for quite awhile before DNP and lost a lot naturally, DNP is helping me get where I want to be a bit faster. I keep very good records of my macros, understand my maint cals and understand how to calculate my new maint cals after losing weight. I don't see how I would end up gaining weight back if I reduce my maintenance cals to appropriate levels and continue keto/carb cycling with lifting and cardio.
You guys might not like it, but the facts are I'm losing and have lost an insane amount of weight in the last 6 months and have put on/toned a lot of muscle in the process. I don't see a logical argument for putting weight back on being made other than you guys think I'm an uncontrollable uneducated fatty who thinks DNP will cure all of my life problems, which is simply not the case. Regardless of what your impression of me is over the internet, I'm likely one of the strongest, consistent, dedicated people you'd ever meet. The reason I was overweight was mostly due to simply not caring about my physique at all as well as struggling with a blood anemia disorder. I have had a very successful career of being self employed and that took 100% of my energy and focus, now that I've far surpassed my goals I can afford to work about 2 months out of the year and from home at that so I have a LOT of free time to focus on lifting at home, dieting, research, etc... Once I focus in on something I will master it and I am focused on improving my physique right now.
Anyways thanks for the input, hopefully we won't have to address this again in the thread. I will likely be posting before and afters, maybe even of my entire progress start to finish, but am still trying to figure out how to blur tattoos and distinctive marks on body, It's difficult because most of my body with a shirt off is covered in one or the other, with shirt shots are easily post-able though.
I now care about my physique, so consider it handled, will never lose what I have built again barring an injury or something uncontrollable.
