DNP can be fatal if used improperly. It destroys ALL cells, not just fat cells. Including your eggs. So dont use it if you plan on having normal babies someday.
The bottom line is if your diet isnt working for you... nothing will.

I sure hope you aren't referring to this:

Here's another little happy blurb:
DNP is an agricultural pesticide (a herbicide) but is not registered for use in New York State. According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, it was sold in the 1930's in diet pills but was banned in 1938 because of severe health effects. Dinitrophenols are toxic to the liver, kidney and nervous system. The chemical causes hyperthermia (increased body temperature), dehydration, tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), restlessness and manic behavior and convulsions which typically signify an immediate lift-threatening intoxication. There are anecdotal reports of other deaths from DNP as a weight loss supplement.
Although DNP use in diet pills was banned in 1938, it is currently being marketed and used by body builders, and is also advertised and marketed on the Internet. The extent of its use is unknown at this time.
I don't think I'll rush out and get some. Ummm, I think I'd stay away from it if I were you also.

DNP is not for everybody, infact you have to be very experienced and educated on the subject to even consider it, and even then it's not reccommended. Don't turn to drugs when you havent even asked for some help.

Try dieting and cardio first. DNP is BAD stuff. A friend of mine nearly died taking it. I made her flush it down the toilet. DNP shouldn't even be a thought.

Too many people want a 'quick fix'. They want a pill or a diet that will magically transform their body with minimal time and minimal effort. Long term results do not happen like that.
You yourself say you are only 'new' and have only been training for a few months! Stay away from it - you do not need it. Correct your diet and training. Be persistant. You WILL get results - but it is going to take times.
