My 2nd DNP Cycle & Log

[srch4info]

OK I have finally started my 2nd DNP cycle on March 9th, 07. Just a few guidelines for the log:

I won't be keeping as detailed a log as last time due to time constraints but I will try to post regularly and be accurate and thorough

I will take before and after pics and post at the end of the cycle

I will take physical measurements with a tape measure before and after the cycle and post accordingly

I will measure my weight & BF before and after the cycle but I will not be overly concerned with them due to accuracy issues as well as the fact that they "mess with your head" while on the cycle

I will be open to any and all advice & criticism

My weight and BF as of 3/7/07

5'8"
157lbs
21.5bf measure on Tanita

Nutrition wise I have already gone through a previous cycle where I calculated my calories and ratios so I have no need to do this again... I will just follow a similiar nutrition regimen which will be clean and provide a calorie deficit for my DNP cycle.

I take 1 to 3 Casein/Whey protein drinks a day
I add at least 6 grams of additional fiber per day
As much water as I can drink
I take Danon Activia and additional accidophilus supps

I started my actual cycle:

Day 1 Friday 3/9/07
I have been on my EC stack for about 3 days already
I did not carb deplete prior to this cycle but I did on my last cycle
I took 200mg in two divided doses
nothing to report

Day 2 Saturday 3/10/07
I took 200mg in two divided doses
I am actually on a weekend trip and spent the day at the pool reading and relaxing then dinner out and an early night in
nothing really to report and can't say I am noticing anything

Day 3 Sunday 3/11/07
I took 200mg in two divided doses
not actually very thirsty yet or for that matter even very hot... surprising but not concerned
Took my evening temp: 98.9

Day 4 Monday 3/12/07
I took 200mg in two divided doses
feeling my thirst increasing now and I am starting to feel warmer
took morning temp 98.8
took eveing temp 98.9

Over the past few days while starting the cycle I have experienced some indigestion but I can't just correlate this to DNP since I am taking numerous other supps with it... I think it is just my gut getting used to all the supps and the timings of them... this is a change from my norm

The DNP "sides" seemed to come on slow this time and I am wondering if it's because I didn't carb deplete before this cycle...

Day 5 Tuesday 3/13/07

Some early feedback for today:

Woke up with very minor sweating and since that is not unusual for me it's not really significant
Took my morning 100mg and I am now noticing my thirst and sweaty feeling to be more pronouced... starting to feel much more like what I remember from my previous cycle
Temp: 98.9

Day 6 Wednesday 3/14/07

Interesting to note that for all intensive purposes my sides are extremely minimal... for those that have never done DNP I will try to explain:

I experience a slight increase in the "sweaty" feeling which is usually more pronounced for about 2hrs after a DNP dose. Keep in mind that I am currently taking 200mg/day divided into 2 doses. So after 100mg the feeling is more like a humid day where you feel a little sticky.

To me it is clearly notable at times such as when I am sitting down on my couch using the laptop to post to the forum and I'm feeling sticky. I live in Florida so I keep all the ceiling fans on and the air going and it really feels almost "normal"

I am currently not experiencing any night sweats at all and my temp last night was 97.6 and this morning it was 98.2

I do seem to be pretty tired in the morning when I wake up but I can't say that I am ready to associate that with DNP as opposed to just being plain overworked and over stressed.

To me the most notable side, which I actually like, is the incredible thirst. For me it is so intense that I can't understand how anyone could actually allow themselves to dehydrate because I simply HAVE to drink all the time... I mean my throat actually gets dry. I have a reverse osmosis water filter so I keep a lot of quart bottles filled all the time and before I know it I've gone through 6 and still drinking. One result of that is obvious: I am always going to the bathroom... My TRT doc says "the solution to pollution is dilution" so I like flushing my system with so much water
