Muscletech Caffeine Free Hydroxycut Reviews

In references to the headaches using the hydroxycut caffeine free... If you are a person that consumes a lot of caffeine and you change your diet and use hydroxycut caffeine free you are cutting out the caffeine your body is used to intaking. Caffeine has a natural ingrediant that the body some how functions with it and the lack of it can cause headaches. Therefore, you are probably expierencing headaches because your body is no longer getting the ingrediant that is in caffeine. just like any addict if you drink a lot of soda or coffee sometimes if you dont drink it for a while you get headaches, crack open one and drink it back...headache is gone. that is what most likely if you expeirce headaches as a side affect is from the withdraw fromt he caffeine

I only took the caffeine free Hydroxycut for 3 days. Strangely enough I noticed a 3lb loss, but no results are worth how I feel. At the end of day 2 I was feeling a little achy. Day 3 it hurt to walk, I had a bad headache and my back hurt. I didn't take the evening dose last night or anything today and I'm damn near a cripple! My back is in excrutiating pain when I do anything. I thought a sneeze this morning would kill me. My whole body aches, although my headache is slightly better than yesterday. I tossed and turned last night. I don't know if it was as a result of ingredients or the pain of not being able to find a comfortable position. Hell, it could be both. In any event, I don't recommend this fine product to anyone. I've got friends that swear by it, but clearly some of us have drastically different body chemistries! Danger, Will Robinson!

The product is amazing. It is so much better than the regular hydroxycut because it does not give you the jitters or make your heart beat faster. I've tried both. Since, last week I've lost 7lbs, of course I also excerise everyday as well as count my calorie intake. Before, I was constantly hungry although, I would watch what I would eat as well as excerise I would stay at the same weight for a month. Thank you hydroxycut.

I started this on Tuesday morning, taking 2 caplets, 1/2-1hour before each meal. The first day, my stomach was a little upset by the evening time, but after that, I had no other issues. On Tuesday I weighed in at 254lbs, and on Friday morning, I weighed in at 248lbs - that's 6lbs in 4 days! I've been drinking about 120oz-200oz of water each day, but it helps keep me "full" and away from snacks. Also - I'm extremely sensitive to caffeine, so this version was ideal - I've had no problems sleeping, etc. The only side effect has been weight loss!

There's no problem of taking naps (this is, if you can, hehehe)! They advise you not to take withing 5 hours before bedtime just because you may experience problems to be able to sleep.



I had already used the RFA-1 and it was great, lost the fat I had on my belly completely and as I run daily, it didn't come back! The only problem I faced was a hard time to sleep! That's why I bought this one... let's see how it goes! I'm not fat... I'm pretty athletic, but still have some deposited fat here and there that would like to get rid of. Am going to start tomorrow together with gym + diet... will be back later to tell you the results!



Good luck to all!! :D

I just started today. Im 17yrs old and 9months LOL I'm 5,8 153 my target weight is 140 Im only taking 1x-1x-1x a day... my question is can I take a nap using caffeine free Hydroxycut??? I really need to know guys. because it doesn't say der "Do not take within

5 hours of bedtime. To assess individual tolerance" so can I take a nap? LOL Im a nappy person ahaha

Today is the 4th day that I have been on hdroxycut the caffeine free version and I have already lost 4 lbs. So after the 3rd day I have lost 4 lbs. I have had no side effects. I battle with anxiety and sometimes I am borderline panic attack so thats why I choose the caffeine free version. I took 1 pill and felt fine, I took a total of 3 pills the 1st day and felt normal. The next day I took the recommended 2 pills and realized that it made my anxiety go up to where I felt like I was gonna have a panic attack so now I only take 1 pill at a time for a total of 3 pills a day and I feel great. I feel totally normal and I have not been eating that great and I am still losing weight. I will start eating better soon and plus I run about 8 miles a week

Took my first pill about 6:00a, 1 pill only to see how I react. Its 2:00p and I have a sick to my stomach headache (I don't get headaches), am dizzy and my ears are ringing. Needless to say I wont be taking any more. To be fair, I do have a friend who uses this product and has no problems with it.

i am 16 5'8" 130 lbs. i toook the diet pills with my mom and within a week i lost 4 pounds. i didnt exercise but i dieted. and i always feel like i have a lot of energy. drink lots of water and peed a TON! but i heard that if you stop taking them you gain a lot of weight? is that true?

i have been really lazy taking these pills i have not lost any weight what so ever i do just fine with eating healthy and excercise these pills have not done anything for me besides make me feel tired and out of shape i do just fine on a natural get fir program then using and diet supplements i am so done with diet pills

HELLO EVERYONE!

I am a 20 year old female with a clean history of health. I taking the CAFFIENE FREE HYDROXYCUT to lose about 15 pounds. I am 5'3 and weigh 140lbs. I have been taking it for three days now and find that I am always ABSOLUTELY EXHAUSTED! Now, I'm not sure if this is the pills taking effect or the fact that I am just tired from school and work and stress etc. I have noticed that some others are feeling fatigue too.



I recently lost 40 lbs by just diet and exercise. An entire lifestyle change. But recently with school and work it has been hard to keep up with exercising. I started off by taking the recommended dosage right off the bat. 2 pills three times daily before meals. BUT it really hasn't curbed my appetite that much.

DO I HAVE TO WAIT LONGER TO SEE RESULTS?



And also people PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THIS REVIEW BOARD IS FOR CAFFIENE FREE PRODUCT USERS. I have been reading many posts from regular Hydroxycut, and Hydroxycut Max or something. I am going to continue taking it for a week and see what happens. So far no results. Just really tired.

I have been taking Hydroxicut for about a month now. Withing the 1st 2 weeks I lost 10 lbs. I am also in the Military which provides a great exercise plan. I am 5'4 and weighed 128 now I am at 116. Goal 100

I started taking Hydroxycut Max 3 days ago. 1st day felt soooo good, worked out, had lots of energy, no side effects. 2nd day I got a little moody, now on 3rd day have a dull headache that's not going away even by drinking tons of water! I work out 3 to 4 times per week plus on strict diet. I'm 5'7 about 148...would like to be at 135. HC-M does give me that "gotta do something right now" feeling. Wish I could be working out instead of sitting behind a desk for 8 hrs!! And Yes..in the bathroom every 15-20 minutes too! I'm not sure if I'm going to increase the dose, at 1 pill 2x a day. I'm thinking about giving HC-M a few more days and if I still keep getting headaches then I'm going to try caffeine free instead. Good luck everyone!

I bought caffiene free hydroxycut and had no side effects except for decreased appetite. I went online to read reviews for the product and found a lot on the hydroxycut with caffeine so i went and bought that one too. I'm experiencing with both - the caffeine one makes me hyper and anxious but not so much jittery and shakey. It also makes me urinate every 15-20 minutes! And i experienced a headache or two but once i drank water it went away. As for the caffeine free ones, it will decrese your appetite and i take 2 before i go to bed instead of the ones with caffeine so it doesnt keep me up! I will say tho, the hydroxycut with caffiene makes me moody! But it works. I'm 5'8 and weighed 148 before i started. I now weigh 142, I lost 6 lbs in four days. Pretty good if i say so myself. I havent started working out yet but been watching my calorie intake. Will update once i start cardio. Hope this helped--good luck!

Im 19 years old, 5'5 and in January hit my peak weighing a whopping 203lbs.



I started using hydroxycut in March, worked out 3-5 days a week, mostly cardio, i'd say an hour a day or a little more. By May,two months later I weighed 160 lbs, which was awesome! I also ate chicken and brown rice, fruits and veggies, no fast food or junk food.



I know that diet and exercise is the reason i lost all the weight bu t the pill DEFINITELY helped me reach my goal. I stopped using it until now and Im trying to lose 20 more lbs before christmas hopefully. =)



Good luck!

I am a 20 year old female. Until a little over a year ago, I would not exercise at all. I started going to the gym in August of 2007 and definitely saw some results, but nothing drastic. In January 2008 I began meeting with a personal trainer. At the beginning I weighed 134 and had a body fat percentage of 26.6%. I just recently ended my sessions and now weigh 142!! my body fat has dropped to 23.3%, but I am very uncomfortable looking at myself in the mirror. If anything, I've been working out more and harder since I started meeting with the trainer, but no results.. in fact negative ones. I am in college so I do drink heavily about 1 night per week, which the trainer said is not helping, but i stopped drinking all together for 2 months and that is when the weight gain happened. Yesterday I bought hydroxycut caffeine free and I have been taking it since. I haven't seen any results yet, but also have not had any side effects. I work out 7 days/week and eat healthily. Does anyone know if the hydroxycut will help?!?!

I have used the stimulant-free version of hydroxycut before - about 2 years ago - in conjunction with an exercise routine to lose about 10-15 lbs in a shorter than normal span of time. On my first use I experienced issues with irregular heartbeats and occasional dizziness and went to a doctor. Now I had indicated that I was using diet pills, but he was more concerned about something else. He brought to light a very interesting point: most people begin taking dietary supplements when they begin a new exercise routine, more often than not after they have gone a long time without exercising. The point he was getting at was that many people work too hard for those first few days or the first couple of weeks; not resting enough, not eating enough, and pushing their bodies too hard before they readjust to the strain they are placing on their muscles, heart, and circulatory system. This alone can result in the same irregular heart rates and chest pains that people experience.



After hearing this i toned down my workout a bit and got into a light routine. A week or so later i stepped it up a notch and felt fine. I am not saying that hydroxycut wont cause this in some people, but just saying that starting an exercise routine is not just all body. Be mindful of yourself and the supplements you are taking. If you do experience unusual symptoms, reevaluate your situation and ask these simple questions: Am I exercising too hard, am I taking the pills when I should be and in the right amount, am I eating the right foods to compensate for my exercising? Oh, and always see a doctor. What you may think is exercise or supplement related, may actually be a heart-related condition. It's better to be safe than sorry.



And yes, I am using it again.



Dave

i have started taking hydroxycut a week ago i have started getting a pain on the right side of my chest and a funny sensation when breathing has anyone else got these symtoms

I TOOK IT FOR ABOUT 45 DAYS, LOST A LOT OF POUNDS COMBINED WITH WORK OUT AND DIET, BUT AFTER I STOPPED IT TAKING IT, IT SCREWED ME UP REALLY BAD, I STARTED HAVING UNREGULAR HEART BEAT, ENDING UP IN A EMERGENCY ROOM ONE NIGHT AND BESIDES THAT, I AM STILL STRUGGLING WITH EYELID TWITCH, WHICH MOST OF TIME, BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE, MY DOCTOR SAID TO NEVER USE WEIGHT LOSS PILL AGAIN....

JUST REMEMBER I USED THE REGULAR HIDROXCUT AND NOT THE CAFFEINE FREE!!!

I started this product on April 1st. This is also the day I began working out regularly. I'm 31 years old, 6'3" and was 240lbs at the time. I started taking one a day just before I workout and it is a great energy booster making me feel like a rock during my workout.



Over the next few months my workout programs changed drastically. I am now doing strength training three days a week and cardio for two days but my cardio is a twice a day program. I rest on Saturdays but on Sundays I run sprints and do body weight exercises. I only take two hydroxycut during the day- one when I get to the office and the other right before I head to the gym. I do not take it on Sundays. I have lost 30lbs total but I'm sure I have put on between 5-10lbs of muscle and I think that's being modest.



Because of my vigorous workout schedule, it's hard to say if the hyrdroxycut has a direct relation to my weight loss especially since I only take 1/3 of the recommended dose but it sure does give me that boost of energy to see my workouts through. I've never experienced and side effects what-so-ever and my girlfriend doses the exact amount of HD I do and at the exact times. She worksout about two hours a day/five days a week and she has seen considerable weight loss as well.

I was very skeptical to use this product at first. I am a 24 year old female who wasnt obese but overweight due to the birth of a child a year ago. I was about 20 lbs overweight (I'm 5'2) so my goal was to loose all of it, hopefully within an 11 week span. I must stress that I do exercise 4-6 times a week, only for about a 45 minute session though on those days. I have now cut my calories down to around 1500 a day. Some days more, some days a little less. I wouldnt follow advice of a poster below. You must intake 1200 calories a day, a minimum for women, or your body will start to go into starvation mode and therefore causing you to gain more weight once you stop taking these pills. They are not a miracle pill where you can cut down your calories and sit around all day. If you want to see the full effects of these then you must exercise, along with having a healthy diet. So far I have lost over 10lbs in 3 weeks!!! I would really recommend this product. I take the caffeine free ones, since I am not a caffeine drinker.

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.

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?

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 :)

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?

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!!! :)

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?

I just purchased Caffeine-free Hydroxycut tonight. I am nervous to start it, but I will be starting it tommorow morning. I will be sure and keep you all posted on the side effects it has on my body, and also if I notice any weight loss.

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.

Some people like myself did not take any diet pills for over a year and I stayed in the gym 4 times a week. I went to my doctor and she said try hydroxycut. So i have and i have lost 10 lbs. in 2 weeks....

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.

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.

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.

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.

i've been taking hydroxycut for six days now and i felt jittery at first but most of all i feel energized....no results yet ....but i'll let you guys now i about 3 weeks

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!

only a little bit after i have to take a dump after every serving of HC... But it is working as far as controling my apetite that doesnt work for me i still have the same apetite and a little more hunger added... strange... burning fat though :) Run 3 miles a day from mon-sat thas 18 miles a week :) I started at 160 and now at 154 after HC and 6 days :)

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!!!

i had an 11 pound baby about 16 months ago im 25 years old and weight 180 pounds.. and it all in my belly & face.. i eat good and work out but can not loose weight.. so i said hey why not try something.. so me and my hubby went to walmart i looked at so many different products.. caffine free caught my attention.. today is day 3 and all i have had is a small head ache.. and i go pee every 5 min.. but thats a good thing.. i will keep you all updated.. :)

very good

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!

I have been using hydroxycut for a few days only.ive noticed it works,i can feel the heat in my body increase and ive lost little weight as well without exercise or diet.i dont have any serious side effects,the only problem is that im generally too sensitive to caffeine and this has enough in it so i try not to take it late at night.so far its good,i will start exercise and see what happens.
