Back in the 80s I took DNP and lost about 100 pounds in 9 months. It was prescribed by a doctor in Houston Tx that had Medical Weight loss Centers. Dr. Bachinski. He went to jail on an unrelated problem with hiding the money he made on this. It was in the millions.

Yes the heat is uncomfortable for anyone close to you. When I was taking it my instructions were to do nothing. Just watch TV as my body was doing all it could. I needed thyroid strong, effedrine, and some vitamins to counteract my body trying to internally slow things down . The DNP raised the metabolism and the thyroid and other things tried to slow it down so the reason for the thyroid and other meds. I was monitored very closly by the Doc. He was very good at what he did just not at his taxes I guess,

I also had a problem with gout. This was brought on by the amount of waste in the system from burning that much fat. Urine was brown.

It worked but you had to be very very careful and monitor everythng.
