MuscleTech's new Ephedra Free Hydroxycut is a thermogenic
compound containing hydroxycitric acid, guarana extract
(herbal form of caffeine), willow bark extract (herbal form
of aspirin), l-carnitine, and chromium picolinate.
These ingredient combine to make an effective stack for
increasing the burning of fat in the body and helping to
suppress appetite.
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.

Started HH yesterday
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.

It Really woks!!!
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.

This is for manboobs
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.

The truth
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.

DANGEROUS
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.

Great booster if used correctly
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.

Diet and Exercise is the solution
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.

WATER!!!!!!!!!!!
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!

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G ! ! !
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 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.

Works Well
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. :)

in need of some help
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!!!

Acne Breakouts
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!!!

Great product if used well
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....

urge to eat
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.

It does work
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.

Water is the key
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!

Rookie on Hydroxycut Hardcore!! Need Help!!
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

Long-time Hydroxycut User
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.

Its great
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
