HD
ive used HD for about 2 weeks, so far so good,im 6'1 210 i play football so im always active...i don't use the pill to lose weight, just to get cut, muscle weights more than fat and since im lifting lots of weights but also doing lots cardio im getting bigger and gaining weight...HD is really working for me, at 210 i have almost no fat and six pac abs. also its not a bad idea to take creatine wile on HD it helps you build the muscle that you want without losing all the weight. ADVICE: DONT TAKE MORE THAN 6 PILLS DAILY, AND DON'T TAKE IT RIGHT BEFORE BED BECAUSE YOU WONT BE ABLE TO SLEEP.

question
im a college student and a female.. and i was planning on using the caff free hydroxycut to drop about 15 lbs. I'm not obese, I am just a little overweight from college. Is this too extreme? Have any females ages 20-22 taken this or have any tips?

Working Great!
Hello Everyone! I just wanted to write in and let you know how much I would strongly reccomend this product! I have always been a little over weight and because of hormone imbalances it is very difficult for me to lose weight...I have tried many "fad" diets and taken other diet pills and have never found something that works better than caffine free hydroxycut! I have experienced no terrible side effects, I DO NOT feel anxious or jittey, and it has really helped curb my cravings and eat less in each meal. I am drinking a lot of water, about 60-70 oz a day and that is also great for weight loss! I have also been counting my calories along with taking this supplement as I do not like to exercise very often, so keeping a low cal count (under 1200 a day) and taking hydroxycut has already helped me lose 5 lbs in my first week! I couldn't be happier, I can eat anything in moderation and I'm not experiencing cravings anymore!! YAY :)

One week...no results
I never thought I would take a supplement but I am slowly gaining weight and can't figure out why. I exercise every day, sometimes twice a day, eat well (maybe not enough for my activity). I can't lose freakin' 5 pounds. I started HC last week, one pill 3xs a day. No results. So now I am on 2 pills, 3xs a day. I hope to see result. My cravings are curbed. Side effects: More bowel movements, a little twitch in my eye. Will this work for me?

5 Stars So Far...
I have to be very careful when taking supplements of any kind. I have a Mitral Valve Prolapse and many things send my heart racing to the point of having to lay down w/my feet up and hold my breath to make it stop. Scary. So when I saw Caffiene Free Hydroxycut, I was excited to see what happened. I did a little research and felt it ok to try. Sure, I was concerned about all the tea in it because even though it says Caffiene Free, I know tea still has some small amounts of natural caffiene, but not enought to bother you much. I finally bought it, and decided to take my first pill at 8pm to see if it kept me awake... then I'd know for sure! It did not keep me up. I felt energized for a short time, then I slept really well when I went to bed at 11:30. So the next morning I took them as instructed... 2 pills 3 x/day 30 minutes before a meal. I can say that each time I take two, if it has been a while since I've eaten, I feal a little bit jittery, maybe anxious... but it passes --- and it is not a bad or scary feeling to me. I have now been taking them for over a week, and my clothes fit better. Amazing, because I work out regularly and eat right, but over the past 3 years I have somehow managed to add 20 lbs to myself and can not get it off! I am currently 155, but you can not tell by looking at me. I only wear a size 8 and am 5'4". I hope that this will not only help me look better in my clothes... as it is already starting to do, but make me lose those extra pounds! I think it will!!! :)

How does it affect nerves
I am a proffessional golfer and one of my friends took hydroxycut and it made him very jumpy with the golf club I was wondering if caffeine free hydroxycut would have the same affect?

Reviewer: Devi from Inland Northwest	Jun 23, 2008
So I'm taking it.
So some of the nurses here take it and they swear by it. I figured I know what's in it so I might as well take it. I started before breakfast. Two pills. They have a really sweet taste, the pills are medium sized, go down easy, light pink in color, with the hydroxcut logo on the side relief cut into the pill. I did not drink coffee on this morning to get an idea of how the pills would make me feel. Within ten minutes I started to "feel" the pill working. No jitters, no rapid heartbeat, just a feeling of anxiousness. If you are a person prone to anxiety attacks I could see how this could turn into one. For the rest of us it is simply a matter of understanding you just took a suppliment. The feeling was short lived though and wore off within the hour. I then immediatley discovered the dieretic effects of the pills were happening. I became thirsty, urinated every 15 minutes, and I got a leg cramp on the right side. Drinking more water than I normally do cured me of the above. 30 minutes before lunch two more pills. Same feeling as I had during breakfast but less and it did not last for as long which was dissapointing. I drank a cup of coffee. Again I began urinating every 15 to 20 minutes, again more water stopped these effects. I had my workout during lunch and found it to be unremarkable, like every other workout. 30 minutes before my dinner two more pills, again the feeling of anxiousness, or almost a feeling of wanting to go outside and run around the block, but it passed within 20 minutes, I ate my dinner and went to bed. The pills did not keep me awake. I did get up twice to urinate in the middle of the night. The next morning I took a normal bowel movement. The pills did not upset my stomach nor give me diarrea. No jitters or crash. Just that feeling of anxiousness. I can describe it as a feeling of unease, or a feeling you have to do something right now. I would not suggest this for anyone that has a sensitivity to anxiety, but for people who are only affected strongly by caffine I think these pills would be OK for you. My urine at first was a bright orange but after upping my water intake tunred an interesting color I can only discribe as neon green. Since it's only been two days in I can not tell you about weight loss. It is in my non-professional opinion that it is a strong dieretic and you could expect to lose about 15 pounds of water weight if taking the pills correctly with a low fat diet in about two months. Water weight will effect the scale but not your BF%. That said I found myself drinking a lot of water, more than I normally would, to counteract the effects. I will take the whole bottle and test my BF%. For the record I am 18.8% BF now. So see you in one month.

I did all the research for you.
First year medical student. Thought I could help here. I will assume here that most everyone knows what Calcium, Chromium as Picolinate, and Potassium is so I won't explain those. Potassium in the dose in CAFFINE FREE Hydroxycut (218mg) will act as a diretic so use with lot's of water. First up: Garcinia Cambogia-Has been found in lab rats to help the liver metabolize fat lipids. It also has a slight effect on the liver's ability to store the fat. Also has a stimulant effect without effecting the nervous system, which is proven in tests, and will not leave you shakey or nervous, also proven in countless studies. Gymnema Sylvestre-To keep it simple, it will make you poop. Phosphatidylserine-Is found in fish and green veggies. The fact they say it is soy based is curious. Perhaps so vegans and vegitarians will still use the product? It has been thought to help speed muscle recovery from workouts, which is not scientifically proven, yet. Rhodiolia Rosea-Stimulant. Plain in simple. Not as in your face like caffine, but it can in some make it hard to sleep, it has also been used in real world applications like medical, military, and athletics. You don't get the crash and the effect lasts longer than with caffine. All that tea stuff is filler. Other Ingredients: Microcrystalline Cellulose-Keeps the pill together in your stomach acid. Hydroxypropyl Cellulose-is a drug called fake tears. Got dry eyes you put this in them to make your eyes feel refreshed. Have no idea why it's in here, or why Hydroxycut names themselves after this chemical. Crospovidone-Expands blood plasma. Harmless, filler maybe? Croscarmellose-A binding agent that allows the stuff in pills to get into your blood stream better. Harmless really. The rest of the crap you will find in any package of food including mac and cheese, and almost all sodas. Hope you found this helpful.

No negative reactions-
I have a very sensitive stomache. In fact if I have a cup of coffee on an empty stomach I could be sick for a day or two. I am pleased to say that I have been taking Caffeine Free Hydroxycut for a week now and haven't experienced any negative reactions. I had recently lost 13 lbs. (from 137-124) but couldn't seem to get over the hump. I am eating well, running 3-5 miles 5X a week and working out with weights. This week I am happy to say I lost 1.5 lbs. the only thing I changed was adding the Hydroxycut.

Reviewer: Nicole from Pittsburgh Pa	May 26, 2008
Great Pill!..no anxiety attacks yet and good results!
Reading everyones reviews is making me crazy. I used to have severe anxiety attacks and I'm extra sensitive to caffiene but I have had no episodes while on it. I take it as recomended..it actually makes me feel really good.. more energy and I've been losing a good deal of weight. I've had NO panic attacks,stomach aches,or headaches.My husband takes the regular Hydroxycut and he has really bad gas. But the Caff-Free doesnt do that for me. I think this is a good product if used correctly and don't eat like a hog while your on it. I walk 3-4 times a week with the family for my exercise and that works. Everyone is different though. I don't use a scale because I don't wanna become a nut.. but I've dropped from a size 14 to a 10 in a few weeks.

Caffeine free Hydroxycut
I have about 10 pounds to take off. I have been taking caffeine free hydroxycut for three days now. I started with the normal dosage. The pills are making me sick to my stomach every time I take them. I have also noticed that my stomach will hurt two hours later after eating a small snack. I feel like throwing up. I run half marathons, and I am struggling with my running workout because my stomach will start to hurt after about twenty minutes of running. The only thing I have changed is taking hydroxycut so it has to be the pills. I may give it another day or two to see if I can adjust, but if I don't feel better I am stopping the pills. I can see why someone would lose weight -if you feel nautious all the time you don't feel like eating. That's not how I want to lose my weight.

Had to call 911
I started Hydroxycut Max two days ago and was pleased to lose 2.5 lbs. I followed the directions to a tee (taking only 2 pills instead of the entire dose of 6 daily) I drank close to a gallon of water daily and took a multivitamin and ate right and exercised. I have a very good tolerance to caffeine and two cups of coffee a day doesn't affect me in any way. However, this product may have more caffeine that that because today I had a headache, my blood pressure rose, but nothing compared to what happend after I took an afternoon nap (due to the fact that I didn't sleep til 5:30 this morning). I got up to use the restroom and was really dizzy, okay, no biggie, but then my heart started to race. I was alone and started to get scared and pulled out my heart rate monitor. My heart rate was 144 and I was just sitting. I took out my cell phone and punched in 911 but didn't press send. I sat there calling on the name of Jesus and trying to breathe. I have NEVER felt like that before, I just knew that I was going to die. So, even though the product is an excellent appetite suppressant, if I take it anymore, I might not have an appetite to suppress. I was considering the Caffeine free version, but from some of the posts and what I experienced just a few minutes ago, I think not!

Is it real?
I am reading all of your review, and wonder if i should take the estreme hyroxicut. I am 54 years old, and all my life I strugle. I took 10 years ago some ephredine, and lost more that 15 ponds. Now in my menopose I gain the weight. beside that I am in perfect health. Do I have to exercise every day 60 minutes. If I do, without taking the Hydroxycut, and be very carful what I eat, I will lose the weight anyway!!!

hydroxycut is awesome
I weighed 277 pounds at the beginning of the summer. Now I weight 232 pounds. I started taking hydroxy cut in late october. I run atleast 4 times a weak for 35 mins. Now im starting to do stomach exercises. My goal is to weight 190. The caffeine free one is better for me though. The regular can make you a hyper. But think about being jabba the hut or doing this stuff for half a year and never worrying about for the rest of your life. Thank you hydroxycut!

Hydroxycut Caffeine Free
I was looking to try something new. Mistakingly, I took hydroxycut caffeine free at night thinking the label was not stimulating since it said "caffeine free". Well don't believe it would be safe to take in the evening at all or at least not after 2:00 p.m.. It will definitely give you jitters, nervousness, and increase your heart rate which is very scary. I even tried only a slither of this pill and the effects are the same. On the other side, it works on burning fat almost immediately. That part I did like.

nothing for me
I took hydroxycut for just one day...and i started feeling very strange. Shivering,diarrhea,headache,stomachache.....I felt like I was drunk. Anyway....I stoped taking them...and I immediatley started feeling better. See, they say...take hydroxycut, EXERCISE AND BE ON A DIET. Then you are supposed to lose weight. Well, I tell you what. EXERCISE, be on a DIET and DO NOT take hydroxycut....and you'll LOSE weight as well. I lost 18 pounds in 6 weeks. Just with excercise and dieting....and let me tell ya....IT WORKS!!!

Great for men 50 plus
Tried everything under the son. Caf-free hydroxycut is great. I'm already lean but needed to trim a little around the waist. Cut those stubborn 10 pounds that kept creeping up when I missed a work out. No shakes. No stomach upsets like Mega Green Tea, Cuts my appetite AND I can sleep at night. Great endurance for my 70 mile weekend bike trips. I did try regular Hydroxi..freaked me out!!!!!!

If you have stomach problems beware!
I have been taking Hydroxycut Max for about 1 week now. I have been pleased with it so far, I drink the recommended amount of water and I maintain 1200-1500 calories per day. Only I have a very sensitive stomach when it comes to caffeine, so I have been having some pain and slight naseua. Because of this, and only this, I don't feel it is appropriate for me to continue taking it. If there is someone looking to try it I would say if you have problems with heart burn, acid reflux or a hiatal hernia (like me)....stay away from this, it will only upset you more. I was thinking to try the Caffeine free.....if not I'm going it natural....it's not worth having this much of an uncomfortable feeling.

Safe to use with Alli?
Just purchased caffeine-free Hydroxycut and started it yesterday. Like others, I think it is best to start with only 1 pill (instead of 2) before each meal for the first couple of days. Last night, I felt very gittery and with headaches, but better today on Day 2. I already feel more energized and thinner, as you tend to go to the bottom a lot and are initially losing water weight. BTW, I am a 49 year old women who was generally in great shape with doing nothing until I was 40, now 40 pounds have crept on due to a sluggish metabolism. My question for anyone is: do you think this is safe to use with other supplements, such as Alli (orlistat)? I started Alli about a month ago, and have dropped a couple of pounds on this but no real great results. This is with exercise also.

Can you drink alcohol?
I am going to be starting the CAFFEINE FREE version of HydroxyCut tomorrow. Does anyone know if you can drink alcohol while taking this supplement? I am not talking about binge drinking maybe just a glass of wine with dinner? Also, I would like to take it for about 8 weeks, just to jump start my weight loss. Does anyone know if I will gain once I get off if I keep up with healthy eating and exercise?

I FEEL HIGH!!!!
I HAD JUST STARTED CAFFEINE-FREE HYDROXYCUT FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY. I WAS TOO SCARED TO START OFF WITH 2 PILLS, SO I JUST STARTED OFF WITH 1. AND I MUST TELL YA, I FEEL HIGH AS A KITE, MY HEART IS RACING, AND I FEEL NERVOUS.IN A WAY I'M KIND OF CONFUSED BECAUSE IF IT'S CAFFEINE-FREE, WHY DO I FEEL THIS WAY? BUT I THINK I WILL STICK WITH IT FOR A FEW MORE DAYS, AND THEN IF I STILL FEEL THE SAME, I'LL QUIT AND JUST DO IT NATURALLY WITH A GOOD DIET AND PLENTY OF EXERCISE.
