Not that I've ever taken it, because that would be illegal and wrong because drugs are bad and wrong, but if I did, it's pretty miserable at 500mg/day for multiple days.

It's like suffering through a bad flu. Hot, sweaty, lethargic, gastrointestinal upset…it's unpleasant. The worst thing is the insomnia brought on by the night sweats. I live in a cold, cold Midwestern city, and I was sleeping with the windows open.

But, 15 pounds down in 2 weeks. While eating like 2200cal/day.

How long ago? And have you been able to keep it off?

[perardi]

Um, 5 days ago, in preparation for a vacation.

Again, theoretically.

[darkmighty]

Any other concerning side effects, if one were to use this? (or, why is it an illegal drug?)

The overheating leading to death if you dose it wrong is at the top of the list.

The difference between this DNP and the DNP you can buy on the blackmarket is that the DNP used in these modern fatty-liver studies is time released in smaller doses.

Users can expect to lose about ~1lb/day. But, it is very hard on you. You want to learn how to lose weight on a caloric deficit and macronutrient partitioning, about 1lb/week, and stick to a diet for at least a year before you even consider this. Otherwise, you don't have the right habits.

[TEMPLEOS_DEV]

It's just calories-in-calories-out. You can keep it off if you then eat below your TDEE.

[CyberDildonics]

It isn't that simple. Fructose plays a much different role in lipogenesis than other foods.

[aaxe]

Wow no.

[TEMPLEOS_DEV]

Then don't eat fructose.

[WillPostForFood]

Exactly, it is more complicated than calories-in-calories-out.

[cbd1984]

Calories in calories out is physics nothing can override or circumvent. It's a basic plausibility test. Fructose obeys the same laws as everything else. It might be harder to hit a calorie target if you eat fructose but if you do, that's it. It has to work.

Anyone who disputes this is scientifically illiterate.

[TEMPLEOS_DEV]

No. It's not. Lipogenesis won't happen if your body is in a catabolic state which you get by a caloric deficit.

You don't need to use a fancy model. Fructose is more likely to be used as liver fat. But, that doesn't mean it's impossible to lose weight.
