Hydroxycut Ephedra Free Reviews

Ive been taking this product for 2 days now and only taking 2 pills per day. im feeling a bit feverish so i started drinking more water. I was talking to a friend about this and he pulled up an article about the FDA recalling the hydroxycut hardcore. as of 9/12 its still on the recall list. Im planning on returning mine to GNC when i get off work.

This is not a review but a question. One of my good friends took Hydroxycut in the past & said she saw results within 4 weeks of taking it. My question is can taking Hydroxycut make someone test positive for drugs? I really want to take Hydroxycut to help me lose weight but I also have to take drug tests & need to know if this is ok to take. I dont do/use any kind of drug & cant have a false positive. Please help!

Ok, for all the people who say they get sick, headaches, pains, whatnot, then they are obviously taking it wrong. This is probably one of the best products out there. Some of the world's biggest bodybuilders, like Jay Cutler and Jackson are taking these pills to get cut up. They are really great pills, if you follow the instructions that is.

You cannot take these pills, and expect to sit on the couch and shed the weight! You actually have to be working out on a consistent basis.

I have been taking these for awhile, along with lots of water(2.5 L +), and the results are great. I actually kept track of all my eating habits this week and limited myself to under 1500 calories and then I weighed in after 7 days. I lost 10 lbs in 7 days. These pills gave me energy like the incredible hulk!

If you start out slowly and take probably one pill in the morning, and another one before your afternoon workout, you will be fine. If you feel good after a couple of days, then up the doses to 2 pills twice daily. Please watch the time before you sleep though. Even take them 6 hours before sleep just to make sure.

Any questions, please reply to me.

I started taking hyroxycuts (the one with Caffine) 2 weeks ago and on the first day I scared myslef.I felt like a monkey working out on the bike and treadmill and felt like I wanted to climb trees.I followed instructions and took 3 in the morning and 3 avro.definetely 5 hours before sleeping because they really do keep you up. It did make me sick to the stomach the next 2 days but now I feel fine and am completely immune to it.I have noticed the energy boost,weight loss and loss of appetite.I advice NOT to take if you don't work out. It works for me and i'm loving the results. I sleep and feel fine thank god. The only reason I'm taking it is because I was taking medication that made me gain weight very fast and I never had Love handles before and now they are going going GONE!! I do recommend it but u have to follow instructions.

I just started taking hardcore and I can honestly say it works. I've read the reviews and the ppl takin the pill are doing it wrong. If you can't sleep and you find yourself up all night on the computer then you've takin it too late. I get plenty of rest after a great workout. Don't take the pill if you don't work out cuz then you'll only be waisting money and time. Drink plenty of water so that you don't get dehydrated. You will burn plenty of calories and have energy but you have to release that energy or you will be up all day. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS PEOPLE! do not take within 5 hours of bedtime. its simple....you don't wanna be up all night then following the directions. You wanna see results? then work out. Everyone is complaining but if you read what you posted then you would know your not doing something right. I've been using muscletech products for some years now and I've seen results with each so I have no complaints except for the fact that you pay more then what you get and I'm talking about quantity.

I just started HC a couple days ago. I tend to have an excessive heart rate on a regular basis so I'm always nervous to try a different weight loss pill that just makes it worse. Obviously there hasn't been weight loss yet but theres been an ovbious decrease in appetite and major difference in the amount of energy I have. I'm very alert all day, but it does make me a little shaky. I try not to consume any other caffiene to prevent it from being worse. I have had less side effects with this pill then others I've tried.

like all other supplements out there, you have to know how to use it. taking the recommended dose without changing your diet or doing any exercise at all will do nothing but make you sick. these kinds of supplements give you massive amounts of energy so that you can burn it by working out! simply taking the pills and not releasing the energy it gives you will obviously make you nervous, jittery, and sleepless. i've taken HH several times throughout the past 5 years (due to my own inability to stick with a plan and yo-yoing my weight). i take one pill before lunch, and two pills before my evening meal and 2-hour workout. this dosage works just fine for me (i'm 26 years old and weigh 185). since every body is different, experiment with exactly what dosage works for you. taking this product in conjunction with a multi-vitamin and omega-3 is a great way to help its absorption so that it lessens the side-effects. of course, it's not for everyone, but like everything else out there, it takes hard work and dedication to achieve the maximum benefits of the product. expect slow results at first because any effective weight loss plan will be slow moving, so don't get discouraged when you don't lose 10 pounds a week. just keep at it and stay healthy!

I have been taking it for the last month.

Started with 1 pill in the morning and another one before lunch around 2 pm. Also drinking more than usual, around 2.5L a day.

Then taking 2 pills in the morning 1/2 hour before breakfast and another one before lunch.



The symptoms are the following.



Weakness

Bad sleep

Headache

Tiredness



I even had a pressure fall today because I stopped taking the pills 2 days ago and my body feels its need for caffeine.



As a result of it I will stop taking the pills for good.



In this month of "Gym and pills" (nothing exaggerated as I never surpassed 150 beats per minute) I only lost 3 kilos and I'm not sure the pills helped, but I also changed percentages of fat/muscle so it isn't only the weight loss.



It did not work for me, bust as said, no body works the same way.

I have used this product for about a month now. I started out weighing 205 lbs. Now I am at about 185 lbs. The first days I did make the mistake of taking the capsules at night and it took away from my sleep. As long as you take them before threethey don't seem to take away from my sleep. They work really good I still haven't completely changed my diet but regardless it works really good.

I have been taking HC Hardcore for two weeks now and I love it. I have lost 6 lbs in two weeks but this is also do to me cutting out all unhealthy foods and drinks. I have more energy than ever and feel invincible in the gym. I will say though I have lost my sleep pattern due to how late in the day I take the pills. For me this has worked wonders and I hope if you choose it will work well for you

I just started taking HC yesterday and like most people have said I can already feel the difference in energy and focus at least. I am drinking tons of water a day and am more motivated to eat less. I've only eaten about 410 calories today with dinner coming up and I'm going to work out later. Yesterday, I did notice after taking the pill that I was more flushed than usual when working out and I sweated noticeably more. I also had more energy. Working out on an elliptical cross trainer, I can usually only average about 180 strides per minute, 30 minutes, and 310 calories before I'm spent. Yesterday, I was still feeling it after 40 minutes, going 200 strides per minute, and burning about 430 calories. So whether it's a mental thing, or the pills really are doing something for me is still a question, but either way I'm definitely seeing results already.

Hey, Ive been taking this 4 two weeks and the first week it made me sick to my stomack and my head hurted a lot.I started with the lowest dose and built up to 3 pills in the morning and 3 before my workout. I got to admit the first time I took the highest dose I couldnt sleep and my stomack and head hurted alot. But now Im doing fine. It does supress appetite and Ive lost 4 lbs in two weeks.My head and stomack dont hurt anymore, but I sugesst that if u take it u drink a lot of water.

After taking this product for approximately 2 weeks now, I have found that it certainly has helped as far as keeping me motivated, focused, and up and moving all day. More importantly for me it has suppressed my appetite significantly which was my main problem, eating too much. I run between 2-4 miles a day, and hit the gym every other day. I take the maximum recommended dose, first thing in the morning (3 capsules) and again in mid afternoon. By the time I get off work, I have plenty of energy to run, and work out, and eat a much smaller dinner. Also as long as I don't take any later than mid afternoon, it doesnt seem to affect my ability to go to bed either. All in all its working well for me, and increasing my weight loss

I started taking hydroxy after about a month of working out, only wanting to tone and lose those though baby weight areas (3 kids). My problem was always getting the extra energy and always feeling hungry. THIS PRODUCT has DEFINATELY helped in both, take it slow though. I only take 1 pill in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. RESULTS!

I recently started taking this supplement..i have tried others before..as far as this particular pill I do agree with most that it would make me slightly jittery..well lemme see that might be because I don't normally have caffeine in my diet..so my brother (a fitness fanatic) suggested that I don't take more than noted in instruction but actually take less then suggested instead of two twice a day I take one in the morning before breakfast another a few hours later before lunch and another before the gym..so usually three in the day. I don't use the pills after 7p.m..usually the last one is around 5..it is in the instruction to NOT take hours before bed..so those of you complaining you are up at 2am must not of followed or read the booklet that comes with this supplement. during the hours I'm active most it gives me that energy...and when working out its a nice extra boost. sometimes I even double up come work out time...so I guess in the all and all what I'm trying to say maybe try in smaller doses...

This sent me to the Dr. with what they called Graves' Disease...all of the negative side effects listed right down to being at my computer @ 2:00a.m.! I have no will power but there has to be a better way...hopefully this will reverse rather quickly

Let's just say I've been on HC for over a week now. I started on the caffeine free ones. I couldn't tell any difference at all with them. I bought the ones with caffiene yesterday. I'm now sitting up at the computer at 2 in the morning because my eyes hurt, my heart is racing, and I can't sleep. This is too scary. Listen- I honestly believe there is no miracle cure pill for weight loss, and as cliche as it is, EXERCISE people. I already do and just wanted to see if these pills would make any difference. I've never taken drugs, and I have a feeling it's a lot like this.

hello. i have been using green tea for the last 2 months now and have lost 22 lbs in the last 2 months. now i feel i should change to hydroxycut to give a change to my body.

can someone tell me which is a better weight loss supplement - green tea or hydroxycut in terms of positive and negative effect. as well as, if i stop taking hydroxycut in future, will my body bulge out again?

There is a lot of things out on the internet that tell you whether or not this item is bad. I am someone who has taken these supplements before and supplements with greater potency and i have seen both the positive sides and the negative sides in very extreme ways. Every one has different bodies and until you try something you will never know how it is going to affect you. If your worried about the side effects then here is some tips. Fish oil (Heart) Milk thistle (Liver) Asprin (Blood thinner) and for Acne, just be smart and take care of your skin. Also a little secret that has helped me is put a a table spoon of creatine in lotion and stir. It has great antioxidants that allow your skin to be healthier. Be smart and know your body.

I just started hydroxycut yesterday and I'm already feeling the light headed/ heart racing/ restlessness. Does this go away anyone??? I'm a worrier so it might just be all in my head...

this product like most other weight loss supplements contain "key ingredients" that do in fact help you lose weight, but the weight you're losing is going to be water weight. don't forget that most of your body weight is actually water, so if you take supplements that cause dehydration, then of course you'll lose the weight, but you'll simply gain it right back. avoid the quick fix "miracle" pill because nothing is going to replace hard work and dedication. instead of buying a product like this, why not reward yourself with the money you would have spent on it once you've accomplished your goal.

Ive been on it for 2.5 weeks now, u can def. feel it because of the caffine. Its like drinking 3 cups a coffee and if you follow the directions it would be like 6 cups of coffee everyday. Its a ridiculous amount. Your eyes get dry and irritated as if you were on drugs. You crash when coming off it too. It like an energy drink but while your on it, its way more intense. I have not lost anymore weight than i have with normal diet and exercise. I'd say everyone is different, but also I'd say nothing works better than old fashion get off your ass and exercise and eat right! My opinion not worth the side effects and feelings of anxiety.

After having been on diet/running/weights routine for 3 months and having lost 30 lbs, I decided to take HH to step it up. While I did have slightly more energy, I can't say whether it helped or not and I don't believe the side effects were worth the marginal gains. I took HH for 3 months and continued to have same rate of weight loss as I did prior to taking HH. The main side effects I had were headaches and sore, achy eyes (strange tingling sensation). I drank well more than the recommended amount of water to drink and was still dehydrated often. In addition, I had bloodwork done about six weeks after having been on HH and was told that my kidney function was abnormal. I wouldn't say that HH was solely responsible as dehydration generally was the likely cause. Doctor recommended that I stop the HH. I've been off HH for 3 months and feel fine and bloodwork back to normal. If you decide to take HH, drink lots of water, limit your intake of other caffeinated products and cycle it for a few months at a time. Will I take it again? No, not worth the marginal benefit.

Hi everybody!!! you guys have to remember not every body works the same I've lost 4 pounds in 2 days however my friend and I stared same treatment(diet and routin of exercises) along with HC and he lost 7 pounds. he lost more weight but at the time to work out my stamina is a lot better that his, so take into consideration the effect of HC may be different in every single person.

I have been taking Hydroxycut for about 2 weeks. I started out at 1 pill, 3 times a day. I then moved up to 2 pills, 3 times a day. I eat a breatfast, lunch, and dinner [moderate meals], which usually consist of slim-fast meal bars or shakes. I exercise [run] for 40 minutes every night, followed by 100 crunches. In my first week I had only lost 4 pounds. When I weighed myself today, I weighed what I originally did when I started. It's hard to say if that was my actual weight, or if it was due to my water weight and food weight, since I weighed myself in the middle of the day. Regardless, I was expecting a little more results than this. I feel hungry/starving occasionally, and have to resist the temptation to eat randomly. I don't know if I just haven't gotten used to the appetite yet, or what's going on. I am 5'3" and weigh 140lbs. I want to weight 120lbs. I'll write another review soon.

this is my second day of using HC and i can deff. feel a huge diffrence! i have more energy, i dont want to smoke, i do get hungry between pills but thats only because i only eat a half of a sandwich, a bowl of special k and a granola bar, and sometimes some apple sauce. if you eat healthy your going to feel hungry faster because fatty foods make you feel full, thats why you are suppose to eat alot of small portions throughout the day instead of three large meals. you must excersice and be on some kind of diet if you really want to see results. i have two friends that have been on it for about two weeks and already lost thirty pounds!!!!!!! and they arent the type that can lose it easily. but with any diet, pills or not, you have to work for it. you can't just eat mcdonals and sit around expecting it to work. get up grab and apple and get active!!!! you will look and feel much better!!!

I started today and I definately could feel a difference in my appetite. I had six small meals today and feel great at 7:30. I changed the dosage a bit and took one tablet every 2-3 hours. Worked well and I'm motivated to get this 15 lbs off!

I've read all the reviews and seen the ads on tv so I thought I'd give it a try. in the last 3 months I've lost 33 pounds from just cutting out fast food and Soft drinks alone. Beer I couldn't give up as easy. haha

I started taking Hydroxycut today and noticed a remarkable boost in energy! I felt like I could do more in a work out without getting tired as easy. I still have that little bit of bottom stomach fat to get rid of so I thought I'd try this out for the next couple months. With the loss I already have had just from getting a good diet plan and little exercise I should see results. Update in a couple weeks.

I've been taking HH for about 2 weeks now and it's helped curb my appetite - esp late morning snacking. (I work grave shift.) I have been having a little trouble sleeping the last 3 days so am cutting down my last dose & taking it earlier. I still am not taking the full dose - am taking 2 when I get up then 1 - 1 1/2 before each meal, but I have only 25 lbs to lose so in no hurry.

Every time I take this it makes me sick to my stomach and my head feels tingley. I just don't feel like myself at all. I take less than the required dose.

I have been reading these reviews and am getting very excited about HH. Let me tell you where I am at right now. I started running last week, very small amount but still did not eat healthy, did cut out soft drinks and beer though. This past weekend I started weight training ,running a lot more and dropped my calorie intake down to 1200 - 1600 per day. I have already lost 9 lbs by doing that alone, taking me from 269lbs to 260lbs. I started HH yesterday evening before my workout and it gave me great energy. I will post another review in two weeks to let you know how HH helped me out.

I have taken Hydroxycut on and off for 3 years, It is amazing what it can do. If you have a good diet progarm along with exercising you can see the difference inless than 3 months. Not to mention Hydroxycut is also an afrodisiac, at least for me my boyfriend just love it! trust me it is an afrodisiac as well.

First and foremost take the minimum dosage of hh to start, for the man boob start out with light weight high reps when working your chest. Make sure you hit all angles( incline, decline and flat bench) also some other exercises using free weights dumbell flyes and change your routine between barbell and dumbell when working your chest to shock the muscle do this for about 3weeks, then start using pyramids 25% heavier( going up or down on each set) try to work your hard area alone meaning chest one day by itself. this is an truely introduction to sucess. find other workout for your chest online the more exercises the more you shock those man boobs. The HH will help with the fat loss just don't overdue it. Once you cut most of the fat with light weight high reps then start to go heavy a little at a time to bulk those babies up. I love to see others get the desired results so if you need help give me a holla buddy. I'm 6'2 a 262 still work in progress but we always are when you get hooked on physical fitness, I have to say though it does look very good. HH is just a means to get specific results the true results come from goal, plans and you. Your exercises should become tailored for u overtime and so should supplements. Know you body people and listen to it. Its a great product, but dangerous if used ignorantly and lazy, its only fuel but without fire it wont burn.

it gave me alot of energy . i started out running two miles a day, but now it seems like its not working and doesnt have the same effects on me, as when i first started.

i'm goin to stop using this product.

i have started to have irragular heart patterns and i experienced number two with a bit of blood in it , thats uncomfortable. i'm going to take it back and get my money

The truth about Hydroxycut it’s a great product that truly dose work, so long as you follow a regular exercise and dieting program. I personally lost a total of twenty five pounds of pure body fat within a month while using this product. Once you get into a good routine of exercising regularly then the results will come.

I personally have experienced some small effects which was only due to over exerting myself because the product really gets you going, to the point sometimes you need to really regulate whether or not the preferred dosage is good for you. For anyone that has a fast heart rate or just really out of shape, I definitely would recommend at least talking to your physician first before taking this product.

I've used it successfully 7 years ago, and went to the hospital from it several months ago. Previous use: The product several years ago helped me lose weight and, combined with daily running and good eating habits, was amazing.



However, several months ago I had severe pains that did not subside until I was in the hospital. They actually had to give me two doses of vicodin in order for it to have any affect at all. Some notes about me: I do have ADHD, and had taken ritilin the previous day before Hydroxycut. I did not have any other caffiene the day of the incident, but if you do go on hydroxycut, DO NOT EVER take caffiene. It really is pushing your body to the max. Also, I had taken two pills instead of one on the initial dose. If you really are uncertain, try other types of diet pills along with exercise. The so-called energy component really makes this a dangerous drug.

I have read so many mixed reviews about this product. I have to admit that the negative ones really did turn me off giving this product a shot last year. This year I wanted to get the beach body I have always yearned for... so far, this product is helping me on my way to my ultimate goal. I have noticed that my muscle definition in my legs and arms are sharp now. I have always had toned legs but you could never really see the muscle cuts.. now, I am enjoying the compliments I receive on a regular basis.



I have dropped 30lbs in the past month and a half and have loved the attention I now receive from people who wouldn't even give me a second look before!!!



I can't use the recommended dosage that is on the bottle because it is too much for my body to handle but once I found the happy medium I have never thought twice about not taking the pill. Combined with my regular exercise and cutting the "bad" foods out of my diet, HC has been a miracle worker for me..



I have never experienced any of the side effects that I have read about and I think the key element behind that is because I drink an abundant amount of water and make realistic weight loss goals.. that way I'm not pushing myself harder and partaking in drastic measures to reach the unrealistic goals.



Good luck to all those who try this product... and remember that the recommended dosage on the bottle may not be suitable for everyone who uses this product.

does anyone know how this product reacts with taking synthroid for hypothyroidism? really need this info.



thanks

I started taking this to help get those last 10 lbs off. I started taking 1 pill twice a day and then moved up to 2 pills twice a day. I ended up not being able to sleep at all at night, and I was producing a lot of saliva. I went back to 1 pill twice a day and am now taking 2 in the morning and 1 at around 3pm. I just can't do the 3 pills, but I have been losing weight (I also eat well and exercise). I'm someone who likes to EAT, and even with 2-3 cheat days a week (nothing too crazy ;D) I've been losing more weight than the first 15lbs I lost on just diet and exercise alone. The best thing about this product is the loss of appetite. I used to be hungry all the time plus stress, I would just eat. Now I feel like I have more control over that. Seeing some results has helped to motivate me more. Good luck, and don't give up. I hope it works for you too.

I IHAVE BEEN TAKING THIS ON AND OFF FOR 4 YEARS. DRINKING 8 TEN OZ. GLASSES OF H2O WILL GREATLY REDUCE THE SIDE EFFECTS EXPERIENCED BY ALMOST EVERYONE WHO TAKES IT. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO READ REVIEWS OF 20 LB. LOST IN 7 DAYS. THAT IS NOT ALL FAT LOSS. HC DOES NOT BURN FAT. IT SUPRESSES YOUR APPETITE. THE CAFFEINE ANHYDROUS IN HC IS THE ENERGY. THIS IS FAR DIFF. THAN CAFF. FOUND IN COKE AND COFFEE IT LAST LONGER AND IS MORE POTENT. HC KEEPS YOUR HEART RATE UP SO YOU BURN MORE CALORIES THROUGH THE DAY. TAKE AS DIRECTED WITH EXERCIZE AND DIET AND YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT. A+ PRODUCT BUT NO MIRACLE CURE FOR OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE WHO WONT EXERCIZE AND EAT RIGHT!

I am considering taking Hydroxycut, but i am taking a birth control pill. I want to know if anyone else has had any problems with this product effecting your birth control. I have read all the reviews and taken them into considerations. The only way you will know if a product of anything is good for you is by trying it.

I have been thinking about taking Hydroxycut for about 6 mths now. I've read all the reviews and reports and finally decided what the hay? So I started taking it last Friday (6 days ago). I also cut out coffee, pop and bad food at the same time. I am VERY excited to say that on Friday I weighed 252lbs - today I weigh 238lbs!!!! Ive also lost 2 inches in my waist!!!!!!!! This product is absolutly AMAZING - and I'd like to tell you I have the drive to be working out everyday but honestly Ive worked out for an hour ONCE since starting this. I'm drinking lots and lots of water (three 1.5L bottles a day). The weight is literally falling off me!!! - my boyfriend thinks our new bathroom scale is broken, yet he still weighs the same. This bottle was my "trial" of it, Im going out today to buy another bottle because I dont know what I would do if I ran out!!!!



LOVE THIS STUFF!!!!!!!

I have been using this product for about a week now i have lost 15 lbs and my stomache is much flatter. This pill is a great fat burner but you do have to eat right and excercise with it or its pointless. If you are not used to caffine i would not advise this pill for you, it does have a lot of caffine and it you dont usually drink coffee or cokes i would only take one a day for a while.. i have not problem i used to drink a coke a day but now i dont feel the need to drink soda's and i have also cut way back on smoking. I Think this pill is wonderful.

The first few days I was really iffy about this product. It gives you alot of energy and one of the things I am greatful for is it did help me quit smoking and drink cokes. The first few days I noticed when i smoked i felt dizzy and lightheaded and started twitching and my stomach got upset and made me crave less cigarettes if I was going to continue the product, after knocking out all other caffeine sources i felt great. I now walk 3.5 miles a day quit eating fast food and drinking alot of water and have lost 15 lbs in 2 and a half weeks. I highly recommend this product. :)

Ok, as of tomorrow it will be 2 weeks since I started taking these pills. I have only lost 4-5 pounds (depends on the time of day I weigh myself). I am starting to get discouraged. I work out 5 times/week doing cardio/strength training. I have drastically changed the way that I eat and have cut calories. I have noticed the pills curb the cravings most of the time and then there are days that I am STARVING and can't eat enough! Can someone please help me out? Maybe give me a suggestion - maybe I am missing something. I would LOVE to have success this time...would love to be a success story and drop couple sizes!! I am 5'2/135 and would REALLY like to lose 10 more pounds - if not 15!!!

If you are looking for a product to give you energy then this will work. However, it so no weight loss outside of water weight(which you will notice a big jump in the first few days). Don't let this inital weight loss full you. It is only water and will return as soon as you go off. Another reason to avoid this product is acne. Hardcore increases your body heat and caused me to break out in heat rashes all the time which lead to my entire back breaking out in acne. So unless you are into gross acne...STAY AWAY!!!

I ABSOLUTLY RECOMMEND LOST 6 POUNDS IN 2 DAYS...U LOOK AT THESE REVIEWS AND WONDER....JUST KNOW IT WORKS IN DIFFERENT WAYS FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE...JUST TRY IT AND SEE!!!!

AND DRINK ALOT OF WATER...IT GIVES ME GREAT ENERGY AND MAKES YOU FEEL GREAT...AND IF PEOPLE ALREADY HAVE HEALTH PROMBLEMS, OFSCOURSE YOUR GONNA HAVE BAD SIDE AFFECTS, YOUR JUST ADDING TO YOUR PROMBLEMS...BUT IF YOUR PRETTY HEALTHY JUST TRY IT...SEE IF YOU LIKE IT



ITS FABULOUS!!

I've used this product twice in my life- 1st time was to lose 30 pounds and I did by following a normal diet and excercising. I had a baby so this is the 2nd time around. So far so good. Taking HC and not taking care of yourself sort of defeats the purpose!



I've shown great results and I still eat what I like without freaking out. Excercise is key....

I have only been taking this product for 2 weeks now. I haven't had any of the side effects that other reviews talk about. I do agree that you have to drink plenty of water. The only problem I having is I stay hungry all the time. I can eat a well balanced meal around noon and around 2pm I am starving. My boss (who has had great success with the product) informed me that I need to eat more protein. Does anyone have an opinion about this. I walk 5 miles 3 times a week and she says my metabolism is really high.

I turn 45 years old in one month. I am a mother of 4 and have exercised all my life. I maintain my size 6 but am getting flabby. I work out and eat right but I need a boost. I am investigating HC and by reading these reviews I am going to purchase it today. My goal is to be in the best shape I have been by my 45th birthday!!

I started on monday and i was 255 pds on sunday that same week i am now 237. Its pretty good i dont even run i just cut back my eating to 1500 calories a day!

...broken out from using this product? I just want to lose 10 lbs before prom! I have exactly 33 days. I workout atleast 3x a week, I eat healthy everyday and drink nothing but water. So just adding in Hydroxycut won't come with major side effects with my habits right? My big concern is acne breakouts! haha

I move a lot at work so I haven't been doing much exercise except walking daily. I haven't had the side effects people talk about, but you have to adjust how much you take for you. I only take one pill twice a day before breakfast and lunch. If I take more, I feel lightheaded. DON'T drink anything with caffeine in it, and drink plenty of water. I've lost 10 lbs already. Just be smart and use your head. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, reduce your dosage.

Hey Guys, I am about to start taking the pills as i have to shed out some flab from my body.



Problem is, I have to work in the night shifts, so would it be correct to take the pills and if yes, then at what time do i take the pills as my office would be getting over by 7:00 AM. My workout will be after the office hours around 8:00 AM.



I would be just consuming 1 pill per day for the initial couple of weeks rather than going in for recommended consumption.



Please guide me if i am wrong somewhere. Thanks

About 2 months ago I started taking Hydroxycut ephedra-free to help lose some of my baby weight. However I stopped taking it because I started feeling dizzy. I recently started taking it again but this time I noticed a difference. I started drinking a lot more water than I did the last time and because of that I haven't felt any side effects. So make sure you drink lots of WATER!

This is my first time using Hydroxycut Hardcore, but I have used regular Hydroxcut in the past. Anyways, when I wrestled in High School and College, I used this product probably 5-6 times in the beginning of the season to get a quick jump on my weight loss. I am sure everyone knows this, wrestling practice sure is no cake walk, and I was practicing while using this product. I never experienced one of these side effects everyone keeps posting about! For the first 2 months while using this product, I was probably running about 8 miles a day, eating about 2000 calories a day, and sleeping like a baby. I am sorry to say this, and I do not want to have any disregard for other people's health and opinions, but it is all in your heads. If you drink PLENTY of water, and take the pills as directed, you will certaintly not die or go to the hospital. Cases of people using Hydroxycut and going to the emergency room usually involved that person compounding the usage of HH with alcohol or other drugs (prescription or non). Just use your head.

don't use it unless you value your life as a chance. i almost die using this product.

I have found that Hydroxycut HC has been a key part of my 4 month 75 lb. loss. One thing I do recommend is to cut out all Caffeinated beverages. I started off while drinking cokes and noticed to become dizzy after an intense workout, that was due to unhealthy heartbeat patterns. I cut out cokes and never experienced this effect any longer

HC has been the best fat birner i have taken yet...for three month's i was bulking, gainting muscle and fat and during my cutting phase with a proper diet and exercise i lost a whopping 11 pounds i was 237 now im 226 and my muscles are toning up and its really working

it was nice to read other reviews!av just started HC and i can tell you, my heart beats have increased! i dont exercise much but i walk a lot-will this have any effect??



Am finding myself eating more than usual and if am hungry am really shaking...and am also becoming moody in the morning and hyperactive in the afternoons

Having tried various products, hydroxycut hardcore really works but it does require exercise. Stuff makes you want to move. I usually ran 1.5 miles a day but I tend to run farther with this product. Having weighed 305, I am now down to 250 pounds in just 3 months.

Ok, so I took Hydroxycut last winter. It does have it's share of side effects. I broke out with pimples all over my chest. My heart raced when I was exercising, but if you get enough water, and are a serious exercise aholic, the weight falls off. Literally. I didn't think I had any weight left to lose! I'm a 5'11'' female and I weigh 140 pounds and I lost 17 pounds and really toned up like crazy. USE IT but make sure you drink enough water.

I've only been taking Hydroxycut for a week but I can tell it's definitely doing something. My "snacky" cravings have been reduced by 90-95% and when I do crave something, I find it's things like pineapple, eggs, avocado, etc. I don't crave sugar or carbs like I used to. I haven't experienced any negative side effects except being a little hyper the first couple days.



A month before I started Hydroxycut I cut caffeine completely out of my diet. Even though this pill has a lot of caffeine in it, I still stay away from caffeinated drinks. I believe this is the reason I haven't had any heart palpitations or high blood pressure. I also sleep just fine.



I've been keeping a food journal and that helps me to keep track of what I put in my body. I've also been getting at least 30 minutes of cardio a day and doing yoga. I haven't weighed myself but I feel thinner. Maybe it's just me being hopeful, but hey - at least I feel better. I'll write more after another few weeks.

I weighed 130 and I wanted to drop a couple of sizes. Hydroxycut helped tremendously with my appetite control and with the help of diet and exercise I am now 113 and I went from a size 9 to a 4.

3 OF MY FRIENDS INCLUDING MYSELF HAVE ENDED UP IN THE ER DUE TO THE AWFUL SIDE EFFECTS! ANYTHING THAT BOOSTS YOUR HEART RATE WHEN YOU ARE JUST SITTING THERE IS NOT HEALTHY UNLESS YOU WANT TO DIE!

I have been taken many diet pills in my life. I have found that HC does work. You do have to take it according to you, and you do need to drink plenty of water.

i dont really feel anything from it... im 5'3 122 pounds (i just wanna lose like 10 more which wont come off... i used to be 150 but lost 30 due to stress) i eat well and small portioned. i try to excercise 3x a week. i try taking 3 HH once sometimes twice daily. im almost done with my first bottle and i still need lots of coffee and diet rockstar drinks throughout the day. i dont really feel as though its doing anything to help me knock off that 10lbs.

I am a 32 yo female. I have been exercising now for the past 3ths 3-4 times per week and have not had any significant weight loss. I am contemplating using HC since I really want to loose about 20lbs. However, I am a bit hesitant since reading some of the users reviews.

Thanks for writing this review. I was wondering where the rash was coming from. I was taking this pill and some protein powder and I would have little patches of rashes. I stopped the powder and realized i couldn't take both at the same time. This is my second time using hydroxy and i only use it for the 1st month then i just stick with a diet and regularly excercise. You shouldn't have any problems if you use it wisely.

I recently gained 30 pounds in a month due to the depo shot. Not happy with my weight i decided to take matters into my own hands. Combined with increased exercise, a lower carb/fat/calorie intake, and using hydroxycut ephedrin free, I lost 6 pounds in 1 week. Hydroxycut helps me work out as I feel like the energizer bunny, lol. However, I am just as hungry as i always was.

This is my third day on hydroxicut and I have mixed feelings. I feel very good in the mornings, high energy and alert, but the later in the day it gets I feel more and more anxious and nauseated. I always exercise in the mornings which feels amazing to do right after taking the pill. I am having sleep trouble however.Even taking it as early as 5PM I still had trouble going to sleep at 1am. I've been drinking a ton of water and eating right.

i do not think hydroxycut should be thought as a miracle pill or watsoever...all weight loss comes with strict discipline in both ur diet and exercise even though i myself would probably hope and wish there is such miraculous quickfix to losing weight..



most importantly...hydroxycut contains really high level of caffeine!pls go read up abt the effects of caffeine overdose..it doesnt matter if u are controlling ur other caffeine inakes while taking hydroxycut because it itself already exceeds the max reccommended caffeine doasage per day with its recommended dosage!



start thinking about ur real health!u never know if there will be any moment in the course dosage that u suffer from any effect of caffeine overdose!palpitations,anxiety,dizziness,heacdaches,ulcers,gastro-intestinal pains,dehydration,nausea,seizure....even if u survived these........resarch haf shown the long-term of effects of caffeine with osteoporosis, high blood press, heart disease, infertility etc....



it's seriously a urgent need to correct the American eating habits! the epidemic of obesity isn't controlled juz because of these so-called quickfixes companies are coming up with. rather, they are part of the reason y this epidemic is fuelling even more widespread!



think clear and see the root of all problems, and you will see better and clearer.

lastly, i am sure we all know this-we are what we eat!

i am soo tempted to try it but i am really worried about the extreme high level of caffine it contains...max dose of caffeine shouldnt exceed 500mg and the highlife of caffeine in ur body can be from several hours to even several days!and all the heart palpitations and seziures, as well as even more scaring sympotoms are probably all because of the extreme high level of caffeine....i really don't know if i shld risk it...

Only 30 minutes after taking my FIRST dose I already have no food cravings! This is truly amazing! I have tried Hoodia many times to curb my appetite, but it never worked -- and now this works within the first 30 minutes... incredible. I will update my results here -- hope it works for you too!

Even thou I started to see the results right away I couldn't stand the nauseas I felt constantly & it kept me up at night. I followed the instructions very strictly so it wasn't that I wasn't doing it right. I tried eating crackers like if I was pregnant & even bought over the counter Emetrol for contolling the nauseas but nothing helped I just tossed & turned all night drinking 7up. If it wasn't for the nauseas I would have kept up with the product.

It works. . . Lost 18% body fat in 2 months. If you got a rash, it's probably because your taking more than one supplement. same thing happens if you take NOS and protein. Read the label, it specifically tells you not to take the pills after consuming any other. Works well, and i didn't lose any muscle mass. so i recommend it. oh and weight training burns more fat than cardio. maybe not immediately, but the after burn lasts up to 48 hours, this is when you burn the most fat. and for every pound of muscle you gain, your body burns 50% more fat by just maintaining your muscle a day. . .

ok so i've been on it a few days now and i have no clue why i never had gas like this be for! 30 min not even 30 min i had to poor like two time in one hour and fart nonstop! lol odd and i get really sick and i even thrown up but im young and i weigh 170 and im 16 before i thought this was a dum thing to do but i wanna go down a size or two my mom knows im on it and she fine with that but i cant really eat the smell of food like killin me lol well idk but im stayin on it cuz i have nuffin to loose lol people are dum but thats why we love each other and if i end up in the emergency room its ok cuz i love the hospitls and sorry for the suckie spellin any way gotta call my bff later!

I completely agree with the review submitted prior to this one. After a week and a half on the ephedra free version, I broke out in a rash all over my upper torso. It has been a couple of weeks and still have not seen signs of the rash going away. It is as the other reviewer described, does not itch, but is an annoyance to look at. As soon as I clear up, I am switching to BSN Atro-phex! I hear it works great and every other thing I have used from BSN has been amazing.

I don't know what everyone is talking about... I've been using Hydroxycut For over a month and I havent' had any side effects. I don't have irregular heart beats, high blood pressure, insomnia, or any of those other side effects people say they get from it. Maybe it's just me but i find nothing wrong with this product. In fact I lost 6lbs. just in the past week. I go to the gym, I drink nothing but water, and I watch what I eat. I just needed a diet pill to help push along the weight loss while I dieted and exercised. Just like any other diet pill, you have to be willing to commit to it. You can't just take it and continue on with your regular life style. If a pill says you can it's a bold face lie. You need to make sure that you don't have high intakes of caffeine. That's where people really screw up. Again, I find nothing wrong with this pill and I would recommend it to others, in fact, I already have.

im 5'3 150pd and started using this product 2 days ago and i havent really felt any side effects but im really confused about everything i just read. i dont know what to believe but its probably just that it doesnt work on everyone. i really dont wanna take any risk or have to put my health in danger. the only thing that does work to loose weight its eating healthy(not running to the drive thru of a fast food place), exercising everyday. thats wat im gonna do because pills have consequences and im not gonna finish from one problem to get another. even if i have to throw my pills away, the money doesnt compare to having a healthy body.

Thanksgiving should be a fun time with family, but instead, I was rushed to the hospital for experiencing a blackout/seizure followed by labored breathing, tachycardia, dramatic drop in blood pressure, cold clammy skin, hands & face went numb, and sweat all over my body even after I regained consciousness. When I passed out, I hit my head & chin on the way down, bruising my face and giving my family the biggest scare ever.



I am in perfect health and knew right away that this was caused by my use of Hydroxycut Hardcore. As soon as the ER doctor came in, she said without hesitation "stop taking these pills immediately."



I had only taken three pills, but stupidly added a latte from Starbucks and a diet Mountain Dew for my road trip to NC to stay awake the day of my collapse. I have only been on Hydroxycut Hardcore for a week, and didn't even take the recommended dose of 3 pills 2x per day. There were other adverse effects I had, but never though it could have complete control over MY body. Thank God I wasn't driving when it happened!



I emplore you to get your money back, and just do it the right way. Your health is nothing to fool around with, and how selfish of me to put my family through such stress on Thanksgiving. All because I wanted to drop a few extra pounds....so selfish!

I started taking hydroxycut and a few days after this I was covered with a rash all over my body. The rash came up all over my arms, neck, back and then went all over. The rash came and went and the spots changed shape and form all over my body. The doctors had no idea what this was. It took a good 2 weeks before the rash went away. There was defiantly something in them that my body didn’t like that’s for sure.

IT'S BEEN A WEEK, YES ONLY ONE WEEK OF USING HH, MY HEART IS WORKING REALLY STRANGELY AND THERE IS A LOT (AS IF THERE WERE SOME NORMAL AMOUNT) OF BLOOD IN MY FECES. I'M SCARED, I THOUGHT I HAD HEMORROIDS BUT I RAN A SEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MOST OF THE PEOPLE USING HH OF ANY HYDROXYCUT PRODUCT IS GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING. BEWARE, MY LEFT ARM WAS LIMB THIS MORNING. I'M STOPPING THIS AND THREW AWAY THE BOTTLE, AS I THREW AWAY MY MONEY IN THE STORE. I'VE BEEN WORKING OUT FOR 3 YEARS NOW, I'M 29 AND 180 POUNDS, I TRIED THIS TO GET RID OF THE EXTRA FAT BUT NOW I KNOW I VALUE MY HEALTH OVER MY LOOKS. SAVE YOUR HEALTH PEOPLE, IT'S NOT WORTH IT.



I GIVE IT 1 STAR BECAUSE THEY DON'T ALLOW FOR LESS, I REALLY WANT TO GIVE IT MINUS 10.

I've taken Hydroxycut Hardcore off and on for about a year and a half. It definetly worked for me. YOU MUST DRINK TONS OF WATER while taking this product. If not, you'll get headaches from dehydration. The only negative is that it can make you feel really jumpy and anxious in the beginning. I also think this product can't be good for you to stay on. I usually take it with a goal to lose bodyfat for certain periods of time like Summer, or when trying to get leaner.This product should be used temporarily.

Go ahead, type "hydroxycut hair loss" in the google search bar and you'll be amazed by how many people are experiencing this.

Mine started thinning days after trying the product.

My entire family has thick full heads of hair, even my elderly grandmother.

It's been a little over a month since the first dose, I took a total of 10 pills over a one week period. I stopped because they werent very effective, I wasnt sure why my hair was falling out, I thought maybe, well I didnt know why.

Anyways, days after starting the pills I noticed multiple strands of hair falling out when shampooing.

My hair grows at a rate of about .3 to .5" per month. My hair now, ALL of it has reduced shaft diameter about .5" from the root, towards the ends its is larger, normal diameter. You can actually "see" when I started taking Hydroxycut by inspecting my hair. My biggest concern, will my now thinned out limp head of hair ever be healthy again, will it eventually grow back thick again?

If these side effects had been mentioned I would have never tried the product...BOOOOO to Hydroxycut Hardcore :/

This product definitely helps you lose fat...no question about it. It also increases energy. I haven't had the problems some people mention, like the trots or odd looking BMs, but it makes me feel hot (I'm all sweaty sitting at a desk!) and nauseus if not taken with food. If you can deal with feeling hot and car sick, but want to drop lbs. fast, then the product will probably meet your expectations. Just remember that the weight loss and energy comes at a price--the supplement itself is pricey and feeling "off" might not be worth it to you.

I have just began using the HH at its recommended dosage and its only day three for me so of course i have not seen any results as of yet. However, I have experienced the irregular heart beats, and the freaky anxiety that came along with it. In addition to that I was up to 4am for the first two nights, but i believe i took it too close to bedtime. The bottle states not to consume it 5 hours before bedtime, but i think my body needs much more time. Therefore, I will make it a goal to have my last dosage no later than 5pm. This is my very first time taking any type of weight loss product, so my body may need to get used of it since this is a foreign object entering my system. I do not think I was drinking enough water for the first two days which could have contributed to those side affects. However, today (day 3) I have consumed a little over a gallon of water and I seem to be coping pretty well. I plan to work out at least 4-5 days weekly along with a balanced diet in order to obtain maximum results. Hope this works for me!!!!

I've just gotten into using Hydroxycut a couple of days ago and I'm sort of impressed, a little anxious at times, and have had symptoms that include mild nausia, increased bowl expulsions, and during workouts the increased blood pressure makes you feel like a rock. I've only been on the product for a week so far, so I am going to reserve a complete judgement for later...it's pretty much a predictable pill.

I started taking it and it worked perfectly at first. I dropped a lot of excess weight with no side effects. I stopped taking it and stopped losing the weight, so I started again. This time around, I have gotten less results, and I have had a problem with depression.

I'm an individual who has not consumed caffeine products in over ten years. No coffee or tea. I've taken Hydroxycut on and off because I would get headaches and feel jumpy the first couple of days. I finally decided to stay on it and follow all regulations. One of by biggest suggestions: DRINK LOTS OF WATER. Caffeine dose appears to be pretty high especially taking it several times a day. Drinking water dilutes the effects and keeps you hydrated. This took away the effects of anxiety and headaches. It would keep me up until the wee hours of the morning. I've solved this by going to work out either at night or in the morning every 2-3 days. I only do 20-30 minutes of cardio (low intensity) and nothing else. This now lets me sleep comfortably at night. I’ve lost a total of six pounds in about 10 days. IMPORTANT: Read the following. I’m majoring in Exercise Science that includes nutrition and fitness so take my suggestions seriously.



• It is not advised that you lose more than 2-4 pounds per week.

• I weighed in initially at 232 lbs. My suggested ideal weight is around 180 lbs so it is obvious that I am over that. When you are overweight by a lot, you will lose more weight versus someone who is only 10 lbs overweight.

• YOU NEED TO EAT! I cannot stress this enough that even though Hydroxycut suppresses your hunger you need to eat healthy, proportionate meals still. Do not starve yourself because you will see that you’ll hit a plateau because your body still needs natural energy to burn calories. If you do not eat to replace energy used up, your body will start attacking your muscles as a source of energy.

• DRINK LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER. THIS WILL DILUTE THE EFFECTS OF JUMPINESS ESPECIALLY THE FIRST COUPLE OF DAYS WHEN YOU BEGIN LOADING.

• If you feel that after the loading phase you’re still jumpy or feel like you’re too alert, I would suggest either dropping your dosage or just stop all together. Weight loss products are not for everyone. Some will work for you and others won’t.



I'm eating a healthy reduced calorie diet which is helping in losing weight faster. You still have to diet or the Hydroxycut won't work as efficient. It does feel like I'm exhausted at times but I'm now taking protein to make up for the lower calorie meals. This gives you energy once again. Overall I highly suggest this product.

I love Hydroxycut. My freshman year I'd already gained 10 pounds and didn't want to live up to the "freshman 15" so I started taking this product. It allowed me to run longer, eat less, and lose the weight. However, because I had so much extra energy I was pushing myself really hard and ended up getting achilles tendenitis and falling when I walked because my ankles would give out. This product works (and I didn't experience any side effects, but if you do I would stop taking it) but just be careful to not push yourself harder too fast!

This is the first thing that has worked for me! I gained a bunch of weight over a year period and have been trying to take it off for like 6 months with NO Results. I have been taking it for 6 days and have already noticed a difference. It has completely curbed my appetitite - I no longer obsess about food, but rather have no problem sticking to vegetables and proteins. You must drink a ton of water and take a very good vitamin, which helped tremendously. High energy levels, stomach already flattening and clothes fitting so much better! I love this product!

I have been using hydroxycut for three weeks now and i only take 2 to 3 pills a day. (I don't drink any other caffeinated beverages.) I really like the energy boost it gives me but recently i have been bothered by irregular heartbeats and it feels like my heart skips or stalls then starts back up again. It's really scary. Can anyone explain what this is and if i should stop taking hydroxycut. At the moment, i am afraid to take anymore. ???????????

ive been on hydroxycut for about 1 month. i havent lost any weight yet...nor have i gained any weight. i just want to lose those last 3 pounds. are people on a strict diet when using this?

I started taking this product 3 days ago to boost my weight loss. Yeah, it decreases your appetite and gives you some extra energy, but the heart palpitations and increased blood pressure really freaked me out. Honestly, I wouldn't take this product ever again. Nor would I recommend it to anyone. This isn't a healthy "shortcut" to weight loss. Up your cardio if you want to shed the pounds.

I have been doing lots of reasearch on this product for a while, and I finally decided to buy it.

I have been usuing it for about three days now, which in actual fact is not long at all. But I do feel a little change in my body already. I have been following some of the foods in which the people on the success stories are usuing on this products web site. Its pretty nutritious. In actual fact one girl eats steak. Which I was very surprised.

I have to agree with some of there reviews but not all.

#1 YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO have anything with CAFFFINE in it. It says that one the back of the product. So why you would take it and expect nothing bad to happen.

#2 The first day in the afternoon I felt a little dizzy and felt as though I was going to throw up. But as the days go on I havent felt that way.

#3 Sleep. I was aware that this pill boasts my energy. Ever since I stated I have been taking these pills late,because of my class hours, and the times i wake up. But it really hasnt been bothering me much the next day. The latest I have taken the pill would be 8:00.

I know I have been only taking this pill for three days but I feel a difference in my abs and my sleeping habits definitly and what goes in my mouth. I havent really noticed anything that bad yet. But I will continue taking this pill and hopefully it works.

Loosing weight is my goal.

Hope it works for others.

I was trying to find out if my side effects were common when I came upon this site. I love Hydroxycut, I have used it for a little over a week and have seen a dramatic change (for the good) in my body, but I am soooooooooooo tired. How is this possible everyone else is restless and can't sleep and I am about to fall asleep.

I'm a 19y/o girl college student who recently (4months) became comsumed with the bodybuilding lifestyle. (lol)



Anyway, after using Hydroxycut for 1 month, I've dropped about 10lbs, taking me from 130 to around 120. My muscle definition has improved, as well as my "veiny-ness" (lol) This is without drastically altering my diet, except perhaps for an increase in water intake.



The pills didn't give me any side effects, but I am careful to stay hydrated and to take the last pills no later than 4:00pm. Also, when first starting the hydroxycut cycle, I was advised to start with a day of 1/2 servings, i.e. 1 pill 3x a day, and to take at least a month between bottles, to avoid possible addiction.



I suppose I should also point out that I currently take creatine as well as Whey Protein powder supplements without any side effects with the addition of Hydroxycut.



Overall, I am completely satisfied, and will probably use again.

i take it only before workout, i drink a lot of coffee, so it would be a really bad idea to use it as a weight loss aid. usually people have bad results or unconfortable feelings when they take the pill because they don't eat. try having a cigarrete and a cup of expresso on an empty stomach and see what happens. same thing with hydroxycut and any metabolism booster, of course there will be those who really can't take it due to side effects, wich is a really low %age of people, but most people when trying to loose weight they stop eating or don't eat right, and that's the real problem. i'm not a doctor or nutritionist, but been pumping iron for the last 10 yrs. this are all my conclutions based on what i have seen with other people's experience, and my own. if you want to loose weight, eat right and exercise, besides loosing weight, exercise and healthy eating will give you good health.

This is my first week on Hydroxycut and I am now on the two pills a day three times a day part. My first couple of days on it, I felt like I was in a bad mood and I felt very anti social. Everything seemed irritating and I had no patience. After the third day that stuff went a way, but it does come back if I have a cup of tea while on it.



I did not get energy from it, but I do feel EXTRA Alert. I used to drink 3-6 cups of tea before Hydroxycut, so additional caffiene for me is not a major dilemma. The key is to take your last dose no later than 3-4 PM. Otherwise you wont be able to fall asleep till around three AM. I had to take Unisom Sleeping pills one night to knock myself out.



As for weight loss, I reformed my eating to just low calorie soups from Monday to Friday, then regular stuff with meat on the weekends. This is my first week on Hydroxycut combined with a low calorie diet and I have lost 4 pounds so far. I originally weighed 200 LBS three months ago, but switched to a 1350 calorie a day diet and lost 25 pounds with out excercise. Now I had plateaued at 175 pounds so I started taking Hydroxycut to break past the 175 mark. Anyhow, lowering my calorie in take with vitamins and vegetable juices, I have lost four pounds my first week. As for the gym, I took the week off from the gym this week and still lost weight. I will resume going to the gym three times a week for an hour each day next week. I am sure weight will fly off thanks to diet, excercise, and hydroxycut.



Word to the wise, if you are caffeine sensitive, then anything with large doses of caffeine are not for you. Plus, if your body is not used to large doses of caffiene, never add to your caffiene intake by drinking coffee, tea, or soda. I have been drinking large doses of caffeine for years, so sneaking in a diet coke or a cup of tea is no big deal for me. So just a word for the wise.



As for the mood swings, if you people add ginseng to your diet, then the ginseng will work as a mood stabilizer and make you feel good natured. Plus, ginseng plus caffeine, the ginseng counter acts the jittery edgy effect from too much caffeine. My best drink for working the graveyard shift was a tea that was the equivalent of two espressos plus lots of ginseng. The ginseng neutralized the jittery effect and the ginseng gave me energy, while the caffeine made me feel alert. I do not have an energetic effect from caffeine only, so maybe for me adding ginseng to my regimen would work towards working out and removing some of the caffeine funk.



There was another thing I forgot to mention. The first two days on it, my kidneys hurt. It went away after the third day though.



Good luck.

At the beginnning my wife was taking that pills for a week suddenly she called me in my office and wanted me to pick her up because she feels like going to faint but i did not beleive her so she stops now....suddenly i have thought that i would try it, but i ask our GYM instructor first before taking it he said that DONT take it and i ask why he said that they have to try it so that if their client ask about hydroxycut they have something to say about the product. so the next day i tried it ,woke up 6 am got my first pill i was fine no problem ,when i tried my second pill i suddenly felt that my heart was pumping a lot secondly i was shaking the having weird feeling. i was so scared and ask our nurse about that product she said that its safe but it might contain some ingredients that we dont know,thats her own point of view ,suddenly i saw another gym instructor so i asked again ,he said that STOP it no questions asked on that......im only 24 male and i'm a healthy guy and very energetic but i think that this product is no safe. If you wish to continue or buy one or tp try it its up to you so think twice........hope this information would make up your mind........

i have been taking it for 2.5 weeks now. the scale doesnt say that i have lost weight which is really making me sad BUT i can feel weight loss in my pants. can anyone please let me know how long before they saw significant results on the scale?

i found this product very effective, but i also found that sometimes it made me feel nausiated. not too sure if this is normal...

I am a 5'8" 42 year old man and have been using Hydroxycut for 3 months. I take 6 per day. In the month before I started taking it I exercised 4-5 times per week and lost 1lb and my body fat % went down 0%. After the first month of taking Hydroxycut I exercised about the same, maybe a little more, and I lost 5.6lbs and my body fat% went down 2.2%! Because of the results I was seeing, in the 2nd month I was very motivated and exercised 6-7 days per week and I lost 12lbs and my body fat % decreased another 4.5%!!! After 3 months of Hydroxycut, exercise and eating right I have gone from 178lbs to 150lbs and my body fat % has gone from 28% to 16% and at 42 years old I am in the best shape of my life. WOW!

Hydroxcut caused rashes to form on my body and for some reason also gave me vaginal yeast infections. But the pill definitely works, i definitely loss a significant amount in no time....

It is very important that you work out if your going to be on this pill. I noticed when i didn't work out and i took the pill i felt very irritable and weird. This pill does work if your consistant and you eat healthy. this is only to enhance your work out and diet. you will see results if you eat good and exercise everyday you take it. but if you don't you will just feel weird and not see any results

to the lady who had a son with a seizure. hydroxycut may have caused the seizure but if you read the bottle, it recommends you dont drink any caffine while taking hydroycut, and to most people's knowledge, energy drinks are loaded with caffine.



i'm not saying your son is at fault, and i feel bad for what he and your family had to go through, but you should read the directions before you take any product. hydroxycut is a very good product and works great if you take it properly.

I have been using Hydroxycut for about a month now. In the beginning it worked really well, gave me alot of energy when I was exercising. I only take it before I work out. However, recently I've been experiencing upset stomach.. It makes me go to the bathroom frequently.. Even when Im working out it hurts. I dont know if its the pills or something else since it just started... The feeling of needing to go while working out is horrible! Im not sure if this will be the right fat burner for me.

I tried this product for about a week and it made me feel so lousy that I stopped taking it. I felt hot flashes, irregular heart beat, and just wired all the time. This product is NOT good for you. Any benefits you may receive by taking this product are negated by the health hazards imposed by use of this product. The solution to your weight problem is not going to come out of a bottle of Hydroxycut. For long term success, you need to make weight training a way of life and make a promise to yourself to stick with it. By far the best way to lose fat is to add muscle. Keep in mind that every pound of muscle you add will increase your metabolic rate by about 50 calories a day, so if you add 10 pounds of muscle, you'll burn an extra 500 calories a day, seven days a week, doing nothing. If you have a lot of weight to lose, don't put your health at further risk by taking this product or any other fat burners. Train with weight 3 days a week, maintain a sensible diet and the fat will melt away. Don't worry too much about aerobic exercise at first because it won't help you that much and may actually slow your weight loss progress by slowing your metabolism. Revving up your metabolism by adding lean muscle mass is the key to losing fat and keeping it off. Anything else is doomed to failure.



There are a few proven products that will help you lose fat that are safe to use. CLA and green tea extract are two products that I would highly recommend and neither will have any negative side effects

I have used hydroxycut in the past, before the ephedra was taken out of it with fantastic results. I have recently started taking it again, but the results are just not the same. I wish they hadnt banned the ephedra. It does work, but just not as effectively as it did before. I am also having a new and different side effect, that I havent been able to find info on anywhere. It is actually listed as a side effect for the new drug, Alli, which is strange because I have never taken it. It is really disgusting, but maybe someone else out there has had this issue as well and can explain. I find that when I go to the bathroom, bowel movement, that there is what looks EXACTLY like hamburger grease in the toilet! It pretty freaky. Now I know the reason it happens with Alli is because Alli blocks the absorbtion of fat, so if you eat fatty foods, its not processed and just passes thru, but I do not believe that Hydroxycut works the same way. Am I mistaken? If anyone has an idea, or knows something about this, PLEASE let me know, becasue its scary and confusing. Thanks!

I have used Hydroxycut for a few years now. I first started back in 2002 and now use the ephedra free Hydroxycut. This has been instrumental in helping me lose the last of the babyfat after having 2 kids in 2 years. One thing I have to stress it you MUST stay hydrated if you are taking this. I find if I don't drink enough water I get bad heart palpitations and my heartbeat gets really irregular. I take it as a sign that I need to drink more water and usually chug back a half litre to a litre of water and then am fine. I try to remember to keep a bottle of water with me at all times, if you don't like plain water add a crystal light single to it.

I started usind Hydroxycut three days ago and I already lost 7 Lbs. I'm in shock!!! I don't feel any of the side effects that people are mentioning here. I really recomend this product; it's amazing!!!

I have used many other diet pills and they did nothing for me. However my friend lost weight from the pills that did nothing for me.I tried Hydroxycut and now I believe these are my miracle pills. I take 1 before breakfast.1 before lunch and 2 before I workout. I lost 5lbs. in 5 days and only ate right maybe 75% of the time. It works really great around my stomach area and gives me alot of energy. Now I'm able to workout 5 days a week for 1 hour. If I take the pills to late I will stay up all night so I work out early. THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT, WORTH A TRY.

I too have just started using Hydroxycut and taking 3 per day (morning, noon and night). I sleep well and I find that I have a little more energy than before. I believe anything works if you use it correct and in the manner it should be used. If you give up then you see no results.

This product gave me horrible diarrhea. I also experienced upset stomach and bloating. I did notice a small increase in "energy" but not much different than drinking an espresso shot in the morning. I looked on the packaging for side effects, and found none listed. I purchased the supplement at a well known, nationwide grocery store. I guess I don't need to say that I won't be using this product ever,ever again. Unless of course I happen to suffer from a bout of constipation. Who wants to spend all day running to the restroom because a diet pill gave you the "trots"? I suppose the extra running could burn more fat. LOL!

i only used hydroxycut for a couple of weeks but i definately was noticing changes in my body. the weight loss wasn't extraordinary but i was definately seeing more muscle definition in my body and my gut was starting to flatten. the pills always made me feel a high for the first few hours after i took them. about 5 or 6 hours after i'd take them i'd start to feel a coming down feeling with some anxiety. overall, i definately liked the pills and would buy them again.

Hi ,I’ve been taking hydroxycut for 2 years off and on but my heart beets increases A LOT so I get scared I want to know has any one experienced increase of heart beet or not?

I have been taking Hydroxycut for the last 4 years on and off. I find that it gives me increased energy and stamina in my workouts. I'm a 5'7", 29 yr old female. When I first started taking it years ago, it helped me go from 260 to 230 in 3 months. As background for my body type, I have always been an athlete and active, and in my prime (flat stomach and toned body) I was 190. I gained major weight in 2 years following a bad car accident and lots of inactivity. My brother and I both were taking Hydroxycut before it was ephedra free. He had problems with it, I did not. Even with the new product, I have the same effectiveness. I have taken the Hydroxycut 24 Hour formula, and I find it to be more of an appetite control tool than anything else. I take Hydroxycut Hardcore now to boost productivity in my work outs. I'm a volleyball coach, plus I have a desk job, and I get lazy in the off season. So, in the summer before the season starts, I grab the Hydroxycut Hardcore and do 20-45 minutes of aerobics at least 5 days a week. I'm not a hardcore body builder, but an average person who likes to stay active. By eating well and working out moderately, Hydroxycut can give you that extra boost you need. BEWARE: I'm an insomniac, so it really didn't effect me not sleeping, but working out in general helps me get to bed by 1AM as opposed to 3 or 4AM. It is important that you find your own dosage. You may not be able to take an evening dosage if it keeps you up. Or, you may have to cut it in half. I do away with the evening dosage altogether most of the time unless I think I will need an appetite suppressor since I'm usually up so late. You may have to stay at a lower dosage altogether. Just be sure not to exceed the recommendation. You will get very sick. And remember to start slowly. It's an aid, not a cure. I hope this helps!

My college age son has been using Hydroxycut and he also has consumed energy drink products (i.e. Monster drinks). A few days ago he had a blackout/seizure incident shortly after consuming both of these products. He was unconscious for a short period of time. He was rushed to the hospital emergency room and has since been evaluated by our family doctor. EVERYONE, including my son, attribute his medical crisis to these two products.



My son is young, physically fit, he works out regularly - there is absolutely no reason that he needs Hydroxycut to improve his physical body. It is terrible that society puts so much pressure on young people to use products that they don't need. Although the Hydoxycut website recommends healthy eating and regular exercise, most people will achieve the results they are seeking without adding a supplement like Hydroxycut. All products need more warning labels with increased visibility of side affects. Not everyone will experience the same side affects - but everyone needs to understand that for some people the products can be extremely dangerous.



My son has often complained about insomnia, I know his friends have considered his moods to be "bipolar". I now believe that these symptoms are related to his use of supplements like Hydroxycut.



This past week has been very scary for my son and his family/friends. We love our son and were devastated to consider what could have been wrong. I reported my son's incident to the FDA - the report will be coded as an energy drink incident - and although I believe that his extreme reaction was related to combining Hydroxycut with an energy drink - and possibly his ongoing use of these products, I will encourage my son to share his experience with his college friends so that others don't have to be frightened as we have been.

Yes Yes -- I experienced more energy and decreased appetite, but only by taking 1/2 of the recommended dosage. When I followed the dosage instructions printed on the bottle....GASP...I turned into Mr. Hyde. I became short with my friends, moody, and not nice to be around. On a good note, I suppose, my visual perception was enhanced. It seemed that anything that moved within my field of vision, caught my eye -- which felt simultaneously hyper-aware and robotic (like a motion detection machine...I know weird). Finally, I stopped taking the regular doses because I was told (and I agree), I became a SOB to be around. I don't have this effect with the caffeine free version.

Hi, I'm a 19 year old male 5'7 135lbs. Muscular but not cut. I bought hydroxycut hardcore to give my muscles a cut look and also to show a 6 pack. I plan on starting on monday, and was wondering if i should take celltech creatine mono cuz it might give me a "double boost" is that a good thing? and also which vitamins, if any, conflicts with hc? i work out 5 time a day with weights and extreme cardio 2 times a day. thank!

I gave these pills ago for 7 days but had to throw the rest away as each night I tried to go to sleep at around 11pm I did not get to sleep till 3am, even though I took the last 2 pills at 4pm. Then in the day time you have no energy due to lack of sleep and you dont eat as much due to feeling sick. Basically these pills dont work they are not supposed to work its just another rip off supplement company taking peoples cash who want a quick fix, they claim 5 times fast weight loss so if you averaged 2lbs per week normally then you should see 10lbs per week but that does not happen as 1lb of fat contains 3500 calories. There is so much more I could say but the last thing is on the front they have some claims then a small triangle, find the small triangle on the other side and it says something like these statements are not tested by FDA which translates they are not true, anyway I am not the judge so if you want to try them then do but I will say you will not feel like your self whilst taking them and you may lose a few lbs but this will be from not eating/feeling sick and muscle loss not fat loss which is what you are after. My advice do the basics there is no shorcut to real fat loss.

i have noticed some of the side effect, not sure if its working as much as it should. i ride a bike for 25 minutes 6 days a week, and i eat healthy so figuring the pills might kick in.

I'm 34 yrs old, 5'9 and started around 178 pounds. I purchased two bottles and just finished the last a couple days ago. My excercise routine is primarily running, Monday through Friday, taking Saturday and Sunday's off. 3 miles for fast workouts and 5 to 7 miles for moderate workouts. I mix treadmill intervals with running outside and vary from sub 7 to 8:30 minute pace depending what I'm doing. I do push ups and ab excercises. Over the course of the 5 and half weeks or so, I've lost about 13 pounds. My waist is down and inch and half or so and I have lost a good deal of fat around the middle. I eat reasonably healthy, keeping junk food, fast food etc...to a minimum, just for a treat every now and then. I drink water regularly through the day but not tons. I haven't had any side effects, I sleep fine, no funny poop stuff...I understand completely that supplements, just like medications, work for some people and not for others. I have zero complaints and would recommend at least giving it a try. If you feel sick or dont sleep or any of the other side effects, just quit, it isn't for everyone. I also think this stuff is a good facilitator, you still have to put in the work.

not really seeing results in the scale yet, but i only need to lose 10 more pds. i bought this b/c i hit a plateau.



makes me very anxious but i do have more energy. sometimes i am talking and do not even know what i am saying.

i NEVER have trouble sleeping, but i just started taking Hydroxycut today. i took it around 7:30pm and now it is 4 in the morning. i really feel like i need to vomit too. i felt great earlier today after i took the 1st and 2nd dose, and even felt great while i was at the gym...but havent felt so great since the 3rd dose. i think i am going to try and just take it twice a day so maybe i can get some sleep!

Man I have taken the product on two separate occasions. The pills are a godsend. I recommend it to anyone who is serious about losing weight.I started out @ 335 pounds 7/06 now I am down to 255 with 8 percent body fat. Its all about making a lifestyle change you can just eat anything on this.

I only take two doses a day five times a week. That is more than enough. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER ALL DAY LONG and eat foods with lots of protein, whole grains,and fiber so you won't get diarrhea or any other side effects. Also make sure you exercise 4-5 times a week (half cardio-half weight training) also cross training like kickboxing or basketball and you will see definately see results. Good luck, God bless and keep on pushing.

These were the first (and last) diet pills I ever bought. Even though I took LESS than the recommended those, I felt HORRID. I had the most severely painful headaches that I have ever had in my life. I felt awful jabbing pains in my my head and my eyes hurt so much I felt they would burst out of my head. At first I didn't realize it was the pills that were doing that to me, but after I stopped using them my pain went away (it took like a week). I didn't stay on them long enough to see any change in my weight. I wish my body had better tolerated these pills.

about the review of you n ur sister having bad experience with this HH.....i believe it's gotta be true like they say cause it's only been my 4th day n i feel like crap.....no energy like i had before....never felt like this before....i better stop before it takes my life.....i ain't gonna wait til it's too late to stop.....i got two beautiful kids to live my life with i don't need this.....if this hh is foreals then why all the ups n downs from so many pple....

Well, I started taking this product to try to shed a little bit of extra fat around my stomach. I am a very fit 22 year old and although I am quite muscular and slim I have never been able to get that six pack. I started taking it and I was amazed by the energy rush I got, I felt almost euphoric with the first couple of doses, and although I wasn't losing weight, I was losing fat. Currently my abs are the most defined they have ever been (still not a six-pack) but I am working on it.



This however is not a complete success story, I have had some seroius trouble sleeping when I take the third dose in a single day. Also I have experienced an intense mood swing while I am trying to sleep, I have never been depressed for no real reason before, but I think this product is effecting my mood dramatically. I am really upset about this but I believe that I am going to have to stop taking the product as a result, I find that I feel much more content when I am not on it. Although I will miss the energy boosts. I did however experiment with just taking the first two doses and that was alot better. I would recommend this product even though its not for me.

This is the second time I have tried Hydroxycut- the first time was when it had ephedra. Five years ago when it has the ephedra-it worked. I went from 145lbs to 105 in less than three months! Then about 4 months ago I tried Xenadrine w/ephedra (supposedly). I paid $180.00 (illegal I know- but I thought I was deperate) for something that gave me wild crazy energy-but no weight loss...This time I said this will be the last time I try a diet "magic pill"-if it does not work I will have to stick it out the old fashion way- eating right and excercise. Sooo...the results are in.......... HYDROXYCUT (ephedra free) did NOT give me any more energy than I already had-it did give me a bad case of the shits though!!!!!!!1

I'm a very active and young person (I run 4-5 times a week and lift 4-5 times a week as well), but found that hydroxycut did help with weight loss INITIALLY. I had taken the product before a couple of years ago so I knew that it was effective. The only major side effects I've encountered both times have been the "jitters." However, I'm now in my sixth week and I believe I have hit a plateau. My weight actually appears to be INCREASING (which I don't understand), and my appetite is not as effectively suppressed. The only benefit for the past week has been the energy (I used to drink four cups of coffee a day and do not drink any). In sum, it's not worth taking it. BUT if you do decide to do so, make sure to end by the 4th week, or at least take a break.

I just wanted to let you know that after having a baby 6 months ago, I have lost the weight PLUS 10 pounds, but I dont know if it is because of Hydroxycut. Maybe it helped with hunger? Maybe a LITTLE more energy? But after taking it I stopped to see if I would still have the same fat-burning results I was seeing. I dedicate my weight loss to living with a VERY restrictive diet called the CRAN (calorie restriction with adequate nutrition) and going to the gym for about an hour and a half 4 or 5 times a week. I dont think I got much from the Hydroxycut. I thought at first it was amazing because the pounds were falling off, but when I stopped taking them, I have had the same results. I didn't feel any more energy thats worth giving credit for. Also, I was still hungry.

I also gained weight. In six weeks i have put on 9lbs. I am stopping today. I am hoping that I will lose the weight as well.

I tried Hydroxycut 24 for one week and felt terrible. I was extremely hungry and nauseaus. I had to eat a lot in order to feel halfway decent. As soon as I stopped, I went back to feeling normal. I had to return this product to GNC.

I have been taking hydroxycut for about 1 year. I loved the energy that I had but I really struggled with the weight gain. This had never happened to me with any other diet pill.I thought it was just something wrong with me. So I switched to another diet product just to see. I lost 6 pounds so far in about 2 weeks. Miss the energy though.

ive been on hh for 2 weeks and its working fine but im losing a lot of muscle so im wondering can i start taking a supplement to help me gain muscle while im taking hh or will that cause a big problem

Ive been Taking HH for about four days now and Ive honestly never felt a bigger boost of energy when i take this and yes you do get a lil jittery from this stuff but it just makes you wanna go out and exercise and its like you just cant wait until the next dose you have to take,but not in an addictive kind of way. Ive already lost about 2 lbs and im going to continue to use this stuff!!!!!!

I have been working out hardcore for about 3-4 months. Its been so crazy I am not sure if its been 3 or 4. Hardcore meaning: 1-2 hours a day of cardio+ weight lifting + calisthenics + 600 abdominal exercises a day. Anyway, I have read on here that people are losing 25 lbs in a month or less. WHAT?!!! How is that? I have been using this product, eating well, and working out day and night and I don't have those kind of results. I have lost 10lbs in 3 months. Yeah, that's it. I only take 3 pills when I go to the gym. I don't take them under leisure conditions. They are fab for energy pills. I can work out for hours and not notice the time has flown, but as far as being some kind of major catalyst? No. A little disappointed, but still like that they get me rockin crazy energy at the gym. Chances are, when I finish this bottle, I won't buy another and I will switch to something else. Maybe something geared more towards women. I was going to try Lipo6x...I heard it was pretty good. If you have any feedback or input about HH or Lipo6x please let me know

I was very nervous about taking a thermo as I've never used them before, and caffeine has been out of my diet for years. I'm 20 years old, 6 ft tall and began at 169lbs and now on the 4th day I am at 164lbs. First I'd like to mention that I've been lifting regularly since I was 16. I'm very active. I train for mixed martial arts with extensive cardio and I adapted a weight training regimen for that of a bodybuilder 2 years ago. I eat strictly clean foods and exercise 5 days a week. I emphasize my routine because I believe thermogenics work best for people in my category and if you're not eating clean/exercising regularly, you should definately forget about taking these products. I began the first day with only half of a tablet, as to get my body used to the caffeine and avoid the jitters that so many people talk about. The second day I took 1 pill, the third i took 2.5 and now I'm at 4 per day. I do feel anxious at times, but the jitters are non existent. I also had expected a decrease in my gains at the gym, but I couldn't be any more incorrect. I was very focused and in a good mood, and any gym rat will tell you that if your mind is in the gym with you, you will have a successful day. I read MANY reports of people having bad experiences with HC. Probably 80% of the people on this board will tell you not to take it. I think they are just not combining it with the correct weight loss methods. Some people think a drug alone will take care of them, but if you want to get the results, you need to work for them. I can only imagine people having negative effects because they live lesser healthy lifestyles. Just be smart, eat a cup of broccoli instead of that slice of pizza and this stuff will work wonders for you. I recommend hydroxycut 100%.

On day 3 OF HH first day i oculdnt sleep all night 2nd night was fine im takeing 2 pills 3 x a day since day one. first dose i get jittery but am fine after dose 2 and 3. drinking water watching what i eat doing situps and pushups and walking. Down a few pounds. no major side effects so far. ill keep updating as time goes

If you take a multi vitamin during the meal it helps with the side effects of Hydroxycut. Maybe its just psychological but it still helps me with the side effects

I just took my first dose about 4-5 hours ago feel great so far. To the girl that wrote about her near death problem there. i do not think it happened. noone compairs that type of tramua to a movie or video game.. I am 5,10 i was at 215 LBS I am down to 190 with just watching what i drink / eat and some light workouts at night. but i can not seem to get below this 190 mark so i deside to try the product. ill keep everyone posted.

I started taking Hydroxycut 4 days ago. First day I had really bad head aches. Those are gone but since day one I've felt like bubble head or a drunk feeling. not dizzy. Now I cant even have a bowel movement. Just barely. Just on my 3rd day I got a really bad bloody nose I haven't felt sick one bit. I am considering not taking the pills anymore, but I really want to hold out and see if it really does something. I am 5'6 and weigh 160 lb. My weight is evenly proportioned so I dont look my real weight but I cant wait to be back to my pre prego weight and looking good. Is this product worth it if I am not feeling sick?

When Taking Hydroxycut Ephedra Free, I did lose around 25lbs in a matter of two weeks, but it wasn't without a price. Palpitations, cold sweats, and jitters made my life, and health, miserable for those two weeks. I made sure to drink a ridiculous amount of water, as well as eating with 30-40 minutes after intake. I still lifted weights 4 times a week, doing grueling workouts, and even though I kept my protein intake high, I still lost a decent amount of muscle.



I also only took 3 pills a day, and never more than one pill at a time. Maybe it's just my body, but taking two or more pills at a time really gave me the side effects that I posted at the beginning of this review. I vowed never to take Hydroxycut again due to health reasons, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't work. You have to take into account how much you care about your health in relation to trimming fat off your body I guess.

I'm 43 f 70kgs 170cm. Thought I would start the advanced thermogenic formula in conjuction with a liver detox diet and up my exercise of weights and mountain bike. Only want to loose a couple of kilo but interested in how the hydroxycut will affect my performance and 'staying power' with exercise. I have just started taking them, actually as I was reading these reviews I was sitting with morning coffee and just had 2 tabs. Is anyone interested in following my progress? I am reviewing these tabs also for the health food store I work in, so will use this forum as a kind of diary. 15 mins after taking them, I have that 'suddenly awake' type feeling. A little reminder of my past speed experiences.

I started take HH about 4 weeks ago. IM 5'8" and weight about 230. Im now down to 200. (30lbs in 4 weeks) This is an awesome product if use correctly. Im on a low calorie diet and consume 2 protien drinks a day. Havent really had any bad side effect from this product. I would recomend this to anyone who wants to lose weight fast and easy.

Im 18 years old, 5''8 and used to weight 175lbs now i dropped down to 152lbs. This stuff is really good! I've been working out 5 times per week(4 hours per day)about a month, with a high protein and high fiber diet. At first I thought this stuff wasnt working because I didnt lose weight in the first week, i just noticed a high energy and activeness, which it wasnt bad at all. But later on, in the second week, I could see good changes in my body, i lost weight and decreased fat(Alot). Well this is my second month, and im willing to tone up my body now. Ill keep updating!

This stuff is excellent! I highly recommend it to those who are willing to dare to a extreme change~

I have been using hydroxycut since the days it still contained ephedra. I use it 2 months before the sunmmer thats it. I am 28 years old, 5"7, currently at around 167 or so(76kg). The most important thing in my opinion is a. Water, you will feel much better if u drink a lot of water and b. eat within 30-60mins after meals as instructed. i do have a bit of side effects such as trembling hands, cold sweat but very minimal and to lose as much weight as i do every time 2 months before summer is worth it. however, just like some people lactose intolerant, some people cant take hydroxycut. but for those who can its definitely worth it. I take it for only 2 months and then i stop for the entire year. Anyway.. good luck everyone.

I am 27, I've been taking HC for a month and a half. I workout 5 days a week with heavy weights !! taking HC made me hyper and active during workingout and able to carry much more weights that before!!! the only problem is the ability to sleep became difficult although am taking it 4 hours before sleep !! Its good for bodybuilding and good shaping

Ever since i have started taking hydrocut, my stomach has been extremely upset, i made frequent trips to the bathroom, and i experience mood swings, and lack of sleep.

Listen, that is not blood in your feces guys. You may not have noticed that the pill includes red dye. I'm assuming they do that because red equates to burning which equates to burning fat. Whatever, doesn't matter. The bottom line is, the red dye turns your feces red. I don't think you're bleeding from the colon or anything. Regardless, I took this stuff for a month, noticed no bad side effects whatsoever, lost weight slowly at first, but eventually began to see pretty spectacular losses in weight. I dropped from about 186 to 174 in about a month, which I was pretty happy with. I'm 5'6'' now I weight about 195 pounds, but I took the HH about two years ago and only for a month, because it is kind of expensive. Again, different supps work for different people, and just because some people have bad experiences, doesn't mean everyone will. They have that "break in" period for a reason. Be safe.

I followed the instructions to the letter.....felt sick to my stomach even though I ate 30-60 minutes after taking the 2 pills prior to breakfast, lunch and dinner. Since I began taking these pills it's not only the sick feeling, but my tongue is swollen and my mouth extremely dry. I would be very careful taking hydroxycut.......it may work......but at what cost? I had to go off of it for a week and realized that I felt better off the pills than I did taking them. This dry mouth feeling is horrible, and I can't seem to quench my thirst? Has anyone else had similar experiences with the dry mouth? Overall....I think a lot of people have the right idea......work out, eat right and drink the 6-8 glasses of water a day! This stuff belongs in the garbage!

Im 32 years old...and 5 3" 1/2 and weigh 175 pounds...I started taking the pill a week ago with the recommened dosage...I lost about 5 pounds already without excercise but im also using replacment meal shakes...along with eating regular food...but the whats happening now is that im feeling depressed, naueous, a runny nose and a dry mouth...has anyone had this experience...I know they work but dam...i dont know if its worth it...can someone let me know...

thanks!

I am an aerobics instructor. And have been dieting and working out for 7 years. I am now 26 yrs old. Everything that I have been doing has not worked for me until I started taking Hydroxycut. I went from 162lbs to now 145lbs and from 16% body fat to 9.5% in 5 weeks by eating right and exercising. I am on my 5th week of taking it and I will take it for one more week and then lay off it for a while. All of the reviews that I have read where they say negative things about it just make me laugh. Realize that some products are not for everyone, that is why there are so many out there. And some of you probably shouldn't be taking it because of some conditions you may have already that you don't know about. Consult your Doctor before taking anything. It is working for me and I am very happy with it.

I had been dieting and exercising and just couldn't shake excess body fat. No matter how much/little I ate, or how much cardio I did I wasn't losing any weight or fat at all. I hit some plateau. I started on Hydroxycut hardcore while exercising and eating properly and lost about 25lbs in 2 months. I'm not losing as much weight now per se, but I'm trying to put on muscle. But my waist is still definitely getting smaller. I wouldn't say this is a take it and lose weight kinda pill because I really work hard in the gym to get results, but it's worked for me.

It's a bit expensive because I take more than the recommended dose, but being 6`5 290lb kinda puts me out of the average dose range.

The only side effect I ever had was a headache the first day I took it. And thats probably because I took double the starting dose. My own stupidity. I have never had any of the heart racing or any other problems, but I'm a big coffee drinker so I think I'm used to the stimulants.

Guys, I do quite a bit of research and I see some ppl who write these reviews take this for several months. Frankly, I was surprised. I am not a proponent for taking HEF for more than a month and should be cycled every 3-6 months if you need to lose more weight. It works, but you have to put in the work. Just have to have a good exercise program, and lots of water. Cardio 3 times a week every morning for 30 minutes would suffice. Water=1.0/1.5 gal throughout the day. Cardio=heart rate has to be high enough to be effective, fat burning occurs after 20min.

THIS PILL IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. NO NEED TO READ ANYMORE REVIEWS. JUST STOP, WORK ON YOUR NUTRITION. THIS PILL WILL PUT YOU IN THE HOSPITAL WITHOUT ANY EARLY WARNINGS. IF YOU TAKE THIS PILL YOU WILL LIVE WITHOUT KNOWING IF YOU WILL BE SLEEPING IN YOUR OWN BED OR A HOSPITAL BED. ITS JUST NOT WORTH IT ..THROW AWAY ALL YOUR PILLS, IF NOT , ILL BUY THEM FROM YOUR FOR 10 BUCKS LOL

i just started taking hydroxcut 3 days ago, and i feel a bit different and nauseous. im going to keep taking them for abit longer though, but i was just wondering if it affects birth control?

Hydroxycut, Almost took my life and my sisters as well.



I took hydroxycut once as directed and i was fine felt good, like myself then about an half hour later i was driving to see my girlfriend, and had a attack in my chest and heart. i couldnt talk move only panic I was in the left lane and cut a car off, to get off the road the person pulled over and came out yelling at me what the fuck is your problem, his girlfriend was holding a picture frame in he rlap it broke and the glass went all over her. i told him i had an attack, didnt know what but I was shaking panicing, couldnt breath or talk, I couldnt controll my car. After that day I never used them agian i fuck hate them. The the devil pills.



My sister got a hand on the pills, she took them, one night she was in the bathroom and passed out on the floor we went to her and her eyes were straight up, she was out. We called 911 intill the paremedics came she was out for like 20 minutes no joke, we thought she died. I thought I lost the best thing that day my sister. the paremedics did cpr and put oxygen on her she woke up, but still was out, she was in a coma. We got to the hospital, we were in the same room where she was, she woke up. Saying Mom, Joe, dad. Thank God shes ok we thought. after five mintues, she shaked agian, moving back and forth, her eyes up shaking, screaming, it fell like the horror movie, exocist. The way my sister was is the same way that person was.



Everyone please dont take these pills, this is a true story not made up to scare you, this really happened.



Its on you, you choose A beautiful life? or Death?



The Devil wants you to suffer, my sister did by taking those fucked up no good crap pills.



It reminded me of resdient evil, Umbrella how all those people died by that drink and whatever it was how they became zombies my sister looked like one that night.



Anyway I hope I made a point.

I really thought hydroxycut hardcore would help me out. The company is very popular and i did get energy from it when i took it a long time ago with epehdrine. This one makes me all shakey, depressed, tired, sick to the stomach! Taking it on an empty stomach was the worst idea, i almost fainted and felt like i was out of my body! really thought it would work but sucked a**

after using this product for a few days i became abnormaly stressed out

I've been taking this for a week now. I'm going to decrease the dosage as I'm getting mild headaches (in the back of my head). I'm working out 5 days a week, cardio & weights. No heart increase or anything else weird. I drink 1.5 gallons of water per day & strict diet.



I have not noticed any difference yet with this product.



Just my 2 cents!

DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL!



I was taking HC (as the botle directed) for about 3 weeks and found blood in my stool; so I stopped taking it so to see if I started going to the bathroom normally again. A week later I had to go to the hospital because I developed a rupture in my intestinal track (an opening in my intestines) due to the pill. I was hospitalized for a week!!



Guys, do yourselves a favor and listen to the nutritionists/doctors/etc. when they say "just grunt it out, eat healthy, and excercise"! Some of you may have nothing happen to you, but why risk putting yourself through serious health problems?

I have tried many quick fixes along with diet and exercise. From all of the supplements i have tried none really yielded promising results. I recommend grinding your teeth and just working hard with diet and exercise. Trust me when you do lose weight without the help of a supplement it will be waaay more rewarding and you wont lose alot of sleep because of a pill with tons of caffeine.

I have used HH for about 2 days now and before that i used it for about a month with excellent results. I lift a lot of weights typically 3x a week and I do cardio 3x a week as well, I started taking it to just tone up but I lost weight as well. The first time I used it I lost about 12 lbs in a month, i stopped because im in the military and it wasnt accessable, but I have ordered more and in the past 2 days I have dropped 2 lbs. This stuff works but you cant be sedentary and you MUST follow the instructions. I think the product really works for people who are already engaged in some type of physical activity and the product just enhances your burning power. Like anything it wont work if you dont put forth the effort. I used to get queasy from taking it but usually after I take 2 tablets I eat a small snack and dont feel the queasiness, and I take 2 tabs as soon as I start my workout, and thats it. I have no trouble eating or sleeping and im seeing results. For those who have had problems you may want to check what your doing, and your eating and workout habits, as far as complaints about blood in their stool, the pills are red, and if you dont drink the precribed water you will have red stool but its only from the dye. I highly rec this product but only for those who are already involved with a fairly moderate/intense workout program and want to lose those hard lbs or tone themselves.

My sister gave me hydroxycut about 8 weeks ago. she bought it and said it made her sick. i thought i would give it a try since it was a freebe. I started out slower than her. I only took 1 pill 3x a day 1hour before I ate. It made me sick for about a week but i thought i would wait it out. After my sickness left i went up to 2 pills 3x a day. They kept me up all night so i stopped and now for the past 5 weeks (8 in total) take 2 pills 2x a day. I have lost 15 pounds in 8 weeks. I am not hungry. I don't think about food. It also was easy to give up pop and coffee drinks since it gives me energy. I am now going to try the pm version so i can take it 2 pills 3 times a day. This product is working great for me. But beware it will deydrate you. I drink over 100 ounces of water a day. If i don't i will get headaches from it. Good Luck!

Finally some sense! I've been researching reviews and have come accross many young writers with similar responces. Ex. Stuff dosent work, bad side effects, lots of crapping, etc. But with proper diet, exercise, and approval from your doctor, this stuff does work with minimal side effects. The new formula is better and worked really well for me. So stop the haten!

I took the ehphedra formula to lose weight for my sister's wedding. With moderate exercise and smaller, healthier portions of food, I lost 15 pounds in one week. That was the amazing part. On the other hand, I had headaches and slight nausea. When the ephedra-free product came out, I tried that, but lost very little. I also experienced more nasuea than before, and I eventually began having palpitations. I have been healthy my entire life with no history of heart problems. The palpitations continued for a month or two after I discontinued Hydroxycut. Soon, they stopped. I lost weight, but in the end it was not worth my health or my life. It will take more work, but healthy eating and exercise are the only safe, sure methods.

am 29 5'6" 87KG.was using this product for 5days.i lost 1kg.so far no side effect.i have notice when am smoking there is no effect for the cigarrate..i don know why any one face the same?since am doin late evening shift,i woke up late around 10AM..i take 2pill then around 4PM 2pills and late evening 9PM 2pills...i do workout 30-45minutes everyday at 4.30 till 5.30PM..my office is at 6.30PM.i smoke 3cigaratte everyday.do eat only veg food these days and 8-9glass of water everyday.i have noticed a major changes in my waist area.infact my waist is 38 looks like reducing now...any comments on my routine of taking pills,please let me know..cos i don wann

to spoil my health....let me update you after 5days

So I started taking this stuff about three weeks ago. At first glance I thought this stuff would be junk but I heard a lot of good things so I decided to give it a try. All I have to say is wow, these pills make you feal like you just smoked crack. For about eight hours of my day I'm going a million miles an hour. I have lost about five pounds of fat but then again I really don't have to much to loose. Like the bottle says work your way up to the rec dossage and don't take it anytime before bed. The only thing bad about the stuff is I start getting really red about three miles into my five mile run.



ps. The person a few reviews below that says it turns your poop red, you might want to seek a physician, that's not from the pills

I am agreeing with all the people on here who said that this product is garbage, especially the trainers and nutritionists. I am a trainer as well, and I think everyday I sound like a broken record - THERE IS NO MAGIC PILL - IT IS ALL HARD WORK AND A HEALTHY EATING PLAN!

Im sorry everyone. Those side effects your experiencing are horrible. But if your gonna use any type of supplement or drug YOU MUST CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR. Some supplements dont react with certain types of excercise. 8 weeks ago I weighed 210 pounds I began using hyrdroxycut and continued with the cardio workout (turbojam) that i had been doing for 3 week previous. I am now down to 165 because I consulted my doctor to see if it was for me. Dont blame a drug that has changed my life for the better just because its not a drug that worked for you. now I also had numerous bowel movements the first week. because it flushes you body first to get rid of the fat aiding toxins in your body. This is an amazing product if used properly. but once again CONSULT YOU DOCTOR TO FIND OUT IF HYDROXYCUT IS FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

18 f 5'9" started at 185 lbs i have been taking hydroxycut for 4 days, just one before every meal. i have been eating less, skipping rope and doing crunches. i've lost 10 lbs so far!!!!! AMAZING.. i'm goin to stick with and see how much more i can lose.

I started taking this about a week and a half ago. I was at 164 the day I started and I am down to 163..big deal its just due to the copious amounts of water I am losing due to diahrrea!

I took hydroxycut back when it had ephedra. I lost about 30 lbs in about 3 months! It was great, the weight stayed off for a very long time, until I had my baby about a year ago. I decided that I'd try it again to lose the baby weight and get back to my slim figure. Well, I started feeling lousy a couple of days ago. I've been pooping nothing but water for about 3 days now. I am nauseated but not vomiting. My lower abdomen is bloated like I'm preganant again! I'm weak and I feel like I need to eat something, but the thought of food makes me want to puke! Strangely enough, I had less side effects when I took the ephedra loaded hydroxycut years ago than I do now! Stay away from this garbage!

I haven’t started to use hydroxycut cuz I haven’t received it but the reason I decided to start using it was because of stubborn weight on my belly and chest area that does not seem to go away completely and not losing it makes me quite exercising and eating right cuz I feel like I’m not getting any results. Any advice from anyone out there

OK, i bought this stuff a week ago....and I have had the week from HELL! I truly beleive that the devil himself made these pills!!! I started out with the lowest dosage just like the bottle said, by the second day i started having a little bloating and indegestion. By the third day i was vomiting and the bloating was ridiculous....i litterally looked like i did when i was 7 months pregnant with my son! and then there was the constipation. I stopped taking these things 3 days ago and I am still bloated and praying for a BM...this is AWEFUL and disgusting. Don't read any other reviews saying its great. Trust me I wasted 50 bucks on this worthless crap, but you don't have to.

I would rather work out longer and more often then to lay sick in bed praying to poop. PATHETIC!

Does anyone know if this product effects the performance of Birth Control?

I started about 4 weeks ago.im 21 5'10" i weighted in at 195-200lbs and after 4 weeks im at 182 ive been keeping track of what i eat and do a lot of cardio (rideing my bike alot), it gives me lots of energy when i take it. at fisrt i wasnt sure of the side effects but i hardly had any nothing more then shaky hands but its worth it to loose the pounds.overall i think its on the person, you have to be comitted or dont waste your time.

after 1 week of massive workouts, eating more healthy and less, i feel very bloated and i have gained 3 pounds, this may work for some people but its useless for me.

I have to agree with the trainer, there is no QUICK FIX! this culture is so used to quick fix-microwaving everything! If you want something sooo bad like HEALTH (not skinny stuff) YOU have to WORK HARD for it, change your mentality and physical work regardless how busy you are take TIME for yourself . Its your own INVESTMENT for the future!-your HEALTHY SELF!!!

I've been taking Hydroxycut for about 6 weeks now. When I started i was about 270-275. I'm a 24 year old guy and i'm 5'10". I definately noticed results from taking this pill. I take 2 pills 3 times a day. Along with walking/jogging on the treadmill a minimum of 20 minutes and 270 crunches/sit ups on my crossbow 5 days a week, I am now down to 247 lbs. since I stepped on the scale this afternoon. I have had no major side effects other than running to the bathroom waaaaay more than ever. No headaches, no upset stomach, nothing. I drink the 80 ounces(often much more) of water a day also, so that may be the reason i dont get many of the side effects. The only slight problem i had was when i'd take it in the morning and wouldnt eat, i would get a bit of an upset stomach, but i learned after the first 2-3 days and havent had any problems since. I think it works great and will continue to take it till i'm down to the weight i would like to be, which is about 220-225(maybe less). I also might try a bottle of hydroxycut hardcore and see if that is any stronger.

First of all, to the person who responded that it was not blood and I should have expected my feces to be red, you must work for Hydroxycut. I suggest we conduct a pole and ask how many people just on this one site "expected" their feces to turn "red". Besides, this was no red dye, it was absolutely blood and it happened after 2 weeks of taking the pills. Additionally, after I stopped taking the pills I gained the 5+ pounds I had lost back within a couple of days and felt very bloated.



I have been eating healthy and exercising regularly (3-5 times a week)since before I started taking Hydroxycut. While I did think that Hydroxycut was working at the time I was taking it, I learned after stopping that it was doing me no good at all. I have experience much better results on my own, with just being more disciplined with what I eat and continuing to exercise. The main thing I had liked about Hydroxycut was that it gave me more energy for when I went to the gym. I have found that a cup of coffee works even better.

Well I haven't been using it for that long -- about two weeks. So I guess it's normal not to see any big changes yet... I've been eating healthier, but I haven't been able to exercise as much as I'd like because I have school, and when I'm not in class I'm at work. So yeah. But I do feel like I've lost some of the bloat.



Some of the side effects I've experienced were:

-Having to pee. A LOT.

-Some random HUGE pimples (I generally have clear skin.)

-Some irritability in my daily mood.

-Insomnia (I'm guessing due to the caffeine?)



Has anyone else gotten these symptoms?

And also, how long into taking Hydroxycut does the average person (low calorie diet combined with light to moderate exercise) start to see any real results?

I just started taking this supplement 5 days ago and haven't noticed anything yet. I started with 1 pill 2xday for 2 days and then 2 pills 2xday for 2 days and now 3 pills 2xday. I haven't had any side effects but feel I have more energy everyday. People here should be eating properly and exercising regularily when using this product, like I have been and not starving themselves. I think you should expect crazy side effects if you stop eating, DON'T BE STUPID. Also, the woman that came on here and said how these are bad for you and etc., etc. I say do what you want and if something works for you then go for it. Stop trying to fear-monger and stop trying to tell people what to do.

One tip, maybe it just worked for me but, I drank an extra few cups of coffee each day leading up to me starting to take HH and figure maybe that helps the body get used to the caffeine and will not have such an adverse side effect, again that may be just my body that that works for. Maybe bad side effects are more prominent in people that don't use caffeine or drink coffee each day. DON'T DRINK ANY CAFFEINE WHEN USING HH!! YOU DON'T NEED IT.

Thanks

to the person below me, I am on birth control as well and I didnt notice anything different? I take Hydroxkycut Hardcore and Seasonale Birth control.

I just started HH today and I have a question. Will taking HH along with birth control pills have negative effect on me?

I posted my original with a one star, (because they don't allow zero) and when I hit "Preview your review" the site automatically rated my post at 5-stars (I didn't notice the change the first time, which I'm betting they hoped I wouldn't)... I re-entered my post with, yet again, one star (meaning ZERO) and we will see if it automatically made it 5 stars again. Very cheap shot Hydroxycut. I give this product ZERO!!! IT IS DANGEROUS AND FALSE!!! WOW!!! It did it again. However, before I hit "save" I hit "edit" and changed it back to 1-star. False product. False move Hydorxycut scam.

I’ve looked into this product (I gave it one star because they would not allow ZERO) because I have a couple of clients who wanted my opinion on its effectiveness and safety. On this page I was absolutely shocked to read these “reviews". Here’s what I told my clients and what I will tell you, at no charge!! STAY AWAY FROM "TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE" PRODUCTS!!! If it sounds too good to be true, it is! People, fat DOES NOT "turn into" muscle; I repeat FAT DOES NOT TURN INTO MUSCLE!!! You build muscle BY EXERCISING which, in turn, increases your ability to burn fat, i.e. muscle BURNS fat. Your muscles will use fat as a fuel especially when you decrease the availability of other fuels for your muscles, i.e. simple carbohydrates… junk food, processed foods, packaged foods, white flour, white sugar, breads, starches. Eat whole, healthy, complex (slower to break down/longer lasting) carbohydrates and proteins. Fruits (not over ripe), veggies, fish, skinned chicken, oatmeal, egg whites, whole grains (not too much breads as too much can break down into sugars), brown rice, yams, walnuts, lean meats, to mention a few. Save the money you spend on this “quick fix/No brain product” and buy a good NUTRITION book, NOT A DIET BOOK.

Diarrhea and frequent urination are dangerous as you are losing important nutrients because your food is passing too quickly through your intestinal tract. Not only that you are damaging the “regulation” of your intestinal wall lining muscle/action, not to mention that diarrhea also eliminates the good bacteria that resides in your intestines (for a very good reason) and you can also damage your sphincter muscles ability to "hold" your feces in. Your body NEEDS water in every single function it performs. Your skin, eyesight, fingernails, hair, organs, mucus linings, digestive system, brain functioning, blood, immune system… ALL DEPEND ON WATER. Vomiting??? Nausea?? And all the other “side affects” you all talk about??? Does it not occur to you that your body is trying to TELL YOU SOMETHING!!! Normally, when does a body have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, etc.? WHEN IT IS SICK!!!

This product is duping you into believing you are losing fat when all you are losing are nutrients and essential water (it acts as a laxative and diuretic). Yes, you will lose weight, but what kind of weight and for how long??? From what I have read most of you don’t care as long as the scale tells you that you are, momentarily, succeeding. You have NO IDEA of the long-term effects of this product and the damage it could be doing to your heart, brain, intestines, and other organs. Just because you “get use to” the side effects, or learn how to “manage” them does not mean they are okay people.

Throw the pills away and stick to a healthy food plan (you notice I don’t say “diet”), and various exercises, along with drinking... NOT a lot of water, 6-8 glasses per day (for some of you that may seem like a lot at first) Your body ONLY holds onto water, bloat/water retention, because it does not get enough. It “hoards” because it has to in order to function properly. If you give it, a minimum, of 6-8 glasses per day, you will urinate a little more at first (as your body become accustomed) then you will “piss” (as so many of you put it) normally. With that urination you will rid your body of toxins, and your bowel movements (the #2) will improve and become regulated without damage to your intestinal tract and sphincter. Drinking 6-8 glasses (8oz each) of water per day eliminates afternoon fatigue, dry eye, constipation, headaches, hunger pain (most people often mistake dehydration for hunger), your skin will look better, your breath will smell better, your internal organs will be able to do the jobs they were meant to do… better!!!

If you hit a plateau in your weight loss efforts then change your exercise routine. Your body/muscles becomes “use to” a routine and so you need to shake it up a bit. If you walk/jog/run then add hills (outside or up the treadmill incline)… or switch to the bike, if you ride the bike… stair climb or add resistance/hills on the bike (indoor or out). Eat a small amount of good fat, a small portion of walnuts or natural peanut butter (NOT Skippy or Jiffy) twenty minutes before your meal and it will decrease your appetite as fats satisfy hunger more easily, and for a longer period of time, and it will "inform" your brain that you getting full even before you eat your (most often the problem is, too large, a portion) meal.

THERE IS NO SUCH “HEALTHY” THING AS A QUICK FIX!!! You are damaging your body and someone is profiting, very BIG, from it. Be very careful that someday this quick fix pill does not cause you to lose ALL your weight.

i just recently started hydroxycut. its been a week now.. the only side effects ive had is feeling nauseated only when i take the pill and dont eat.. or when im just sitting down. to not have the nausea get up and do something.. ro eat! i have lost weight... its great!!!

Shelby, I think you should contact your doctor as anything less than 1200 calories a day is extreemly unhealthy. Your body need necessary fuel to work all day, and frankly your starving your self. you need certain nutrients to function, I am surprised you havnt fainted from lack of nutrition. Also I have read how to use the hydroxycut and I dont believe they recommend such a low calorie diet. Please re-evaluate your eating plan.

I have been taking it for a few days now. I think it really works. I have noticed several side effects

1. Shakey

2. Pee a lot

3. VERY nauseated

4. Cold sweats? I sweat just sitting here

5. Going number 2 a lot

6. Weak fealing



I take 1 pill twice a day. I also only eat 0-600 calories a day. It works though!

To the person below me- hydroxycut did not cause you to bleed while using the restroom, the red 5 just made it appear that way, and this should have been expected. For all those who plan on taking weight loss supplements, do not expect to see results without proper diet and nutrition make sure your research before you start slamming products.

Have used Hydroxycut for almost 2 weeks and only have 2 pills left. Noticed this morning and now this afternoon that there is blood in my feces, which has to be from these pills. I will never use any weight loss pill again and hope that there is no permanent damage.

i know its hard to lose weight. and its so tempting to think that a pill will solve our problems. but honestly, the simple fact of the matter is..burn more than you consume. meaning burn more calories than you eat. i have read most of the reviews on this site and am amazed at how much people do not know about health and nutrition, yet they try to come off as if they do. fat does not turn into muscle. you do not pee the fat out. the immediate weight loss that all of you are experiencing in the first few weeks is nothing but water weight. you can lose up to 15lbs of just water!! the side effects you are feeling doesnt tell you that this is not normal?? you are putting something in your body that is foreign. your body does not recognize it and you have no idea what long term effects this could have on you and your health. do not look at your weight as an indicator of how much fat you're losing. get your body fat percentage measured. there are scales you can buy that measure your body fat as well as your weight. that number will be of more service to you than just how much you weigh. please be smart about your health. this product has not been passed by the FDA as safe. there have not been any long term studies on this product. why take a chance with your life?



by the way, i am currently getting my masters in nutrition, so yes, i know what im talking about.

ok i just started takin this a week ago and i lost 9 lbs alreayd the first day i lost a lb then the second i lost another then the 3 day i lost 4 lbs then i kept on loosin gmore and more fat and my muslce were reallyt statin to define themsleves i was 235 6'1 not fat at all just had a lil extra fat then need if you are big and want to get cut i recommend this product all those other pll that had bad things when they took thi i fell bad for them cuase i think this stuff is great but i also work out 5 times a day and eat ery helthy but never could loose excess wigh this really help me and i think if you are think about takin this go for it

im a 19, and i started takin HH a week ago, i started with 1 pill twice per day from 30-60 minutes before my meals, after 3 days i started raising the dose to 2 pills twice per day for te next 3 days, now im currently takin 2 pills 3 times per day...please can someone tell me if thats too much??

I started a year ago October with healthier eating and working out (cardio 6X/week, weight training 3X/week) I lost 100 pounds in a year and reached a plateau for a few months even though I changed up my work out routine. I am generally not a fan of taking pills to lose weight but I thought I would try Hydroxycut out of frustration. I have been taking Hydroxycut for 3 weeks now and have lost 15 pounds. Hydroxycut gave my metabolism the boost it needed to get going again. I have had no serious side effects...except some lack of sleep...yet I do not feel any increased energy or feel any changes in my appetite. I also drink approx. 8 glasses of water or so a day. I am going to continue taking Hydroxycut for another 5 weeks and see if I will reach my goal of the last 25 pounds that I need to lose.

The bottom line is the only way to lose weight and be healthy is to eat right and move. I would recommend Hydroxycut to others however, if you feel any negative side effects, I would stop taking the pills.

Good Luck to everyone on their health journey!

i'm a 20 year old male and have been taking this supplement for 3 days now. i started the first day with just one tablet just before lunch. that day i had also taken cold medication (aleve cold and sinus, naproxen sodium and pseudoephedrine). That day i felt like i was about to fly through the roof! i was so energized and felt like i could jump 10 feet. i work at the bank and suddenly i was so willing to help every customer and was smiling from ear to ear. unfortunately after we closed i felt a sudden lurch in my stomach and had to run to the bathroom.... yeah wasnt pretty. that continued for the rest of the night.. the next day i took one pill twice a day and didnt feel as energized suprisingly but also didnt have the diarrhea issue.. did anyone else have an experience like this their first day?? was the diarrhea from the timing of my lunch or is it just a first day thing? i havent really seemed to have that issue again but im still worried bout eating 30-60 minutes after i take it cuz i don't have the option of running to the bathroom whenever i use it. as for it working i think its great. i feel energized and my appetite is well controlled now. remember to drink lots of water though. i seem to get headaches if i dont. any help would be appreciated!

Supercyn, if you're noticing a difference in your waist size then it's working. The more you workout and stay active the more it'll work. I would recoommend working out with weights 2-3 times week and running at least a mile everyday. I run a mile in the morning and a mile in the evening and I've dropped 3 lbs in 2 days with a healthy diet of course.



And em, if you read the bottle again it'll give you a detailed chart of how and when to take the pills. That extra pill you're taking is probably the cause of the massive side effects you're feeling. Be sure to drink A LOT of water and eat 30-60 minutes after taking a pill and you should be fine. The only time I've experienced any side effects is when I didn't eat and I felt like i was going to pass out or throw up, but once I ate my breakfast I was ready to go on another run.



And to all you people labeling a "pissing" as a negative side effect you have to realize you;re obviously not used to drink large amounts of water otherwise you wouldn't be in your current situation. When you drink a lot more water than your body is used to than you will pee a lot. It's a good thing, not a bad thing.

I starte using HCut HardCore last week. I started with 1 pill 2X a day, i felt enegrized so i upped ot to 2 pills 2X a day. I am somewhat sensitive to caffeine/stimulants so i try to take the first before my 5am workout and again about noon. I used Regular Hydroxycut, but grew tollerant of it, so i started Hardcore. I dont feel hungry and my workouts have more intensity now. Sone nights i have a little hard time falling asleep, but it isnt too unbearable. I am a 36 Year old male, so cardio 6 dausa a week and lift 4.

I'm 21f, 5'3, 155-160 lbs. I've been taking Hydroxycut for a week and a half. I've noticed energy and a slight change in my waist size (from 38" to 37") but I'm not sure about my weight. I only take it 30-60 minutes from when I'm about about to eat, which averages about two regular meals and one snack. It really helps me control how much food I take in which I usually can't control. I work out 2-3 times a week, 2 days of weight training (1.75 hours each) and 1 of assorted activity (yoga, walking, dancing, gym time, et. al.)



I'm hoping it'll work, it looks like it is a little bit, but from what I'm reading a lot of people work out EVERY day, and that just doesn't fit in.

This is my second weight loss pill i have tried. I have only been taking Hydroxycut for a few days, 1 pill 3X a day. Does anyone else feel like their stomach is very "empty" feeling to the point it hurts? Or very crampy or gasy with pressure? I'm hoping this goes away and I would like to know from any long-time users if this ever goes away or if they felt the same at the beggining?

i only wanted to lose a few pounds and wanted to start off slow so i decided i would only take one pill a day and tried this twice...i took them at noon and both times i woke up early the next morning with the diarhea and couldnt stop throwing up almost all day...i did lose about eight pounds those days...but eventually back to original weight and to scared to try it again...
