If you think Hydroxycut is a supplement that can help you to lose weight, read this before you buy it.
Hydroxycut is one of those supplements that just won’t go away. Originally fueled by the now-banned and controversial ingredient ephedra, Hydroxycut’s current formula consists of a bunch of ingredients with little - if any - track record of success with regard to weight loss.…

sal m is annoying.......I was fine with reading everyones comments until he/she kept responding to all of them in a very rude manner. Geez....anyways, I take 2 hydroxycuts in the morning and 2 in the afternoon and what do you know, I'm still alive after the 9 years I've been taking it. It has helped me with the energy I needed to workout after each of my 3 children were born and it has helped me maintain my normal weight. Who cares what everyone thinks people. If you want to take it, take it. It will not kill you (unless you abuse it I guess). ~I'll be awaiting your comment sal m~

holy crap there is alot of crap flying everywhere, first of Sal is right(even if you try not to admit it) HC is a supplement SUPPLEMENT to weight loss. alot of other pro Hydroxycut people are right too cause they say it"gives me the energy i need" to help their workouts and i will now state the name of the amazing chemical supplement that aids AIDS weight loss..... CAFFEINE duh duh duh. trust me six 600-800mgs of that and i'll piss 5 lbs of water weight in a week. if you wonder why some people here claim headaches and nausea its because of DEHYfreakinDRATION, ya need water and you've just pissed or sweated it all. i love caffeine and i can swear by it (thats the energy booster in bassicaly EVERY thing in GNC) if you want a supplement that is super awesome try just caffeine pills or stackers and keep you'r caffeine intake the same as while on HCut and tell me if you notice a difference. chances are you won't but you will save an assload.
I didn't go to college but i stayed at a holiday inn express last night, no but i am a navyDEP and see lots of new recruits that need to lose those extra inches or pounds and i swear by diet exercise and CAFFEINE. i've helped a lot of recruits meet weight goals because of it. so far everyone here is completly correct but noone here seems to notice. wow dense as hell lol. Sal you are right in that it is a SUPPLEfreakinMENT and that is all yet it is advertised as a fat burner which is wrong and decieving. its funny how it says on the bottle that it must be used with diet and exercise but supposedly it can work without it huh.to the ones that say it motivates them they are also right because thats what sal has been saying this whole friggin time but your head is too far up your rears to listen without flaming.
the lesson learned is CAFFEINE rules

Every pro-hydroxycut post has mentioned that it helped them lose weight along with diet and exercise. But not a single one has said anything about just taking Hydroxycut. It's the fault in both these anecdotes and in the studies cited on the commercials.
Also, the plural of anecdote is not data.

I started taking hydroxycut hardcore, which is suppose to be their best one. I'm still not quite sure what I think about it. However, it does make me restless at night, last night I didn't get any freken sleep. And honestly it makes me feel very awkward, almost as if I am on cocaine or something. I am still using it to see if it will work, I haven't really noticed much results yet, but then again its only been a week. But taking it has really motivated me, which is what its purpose almost is- you are paying for it and you want to see results so you will do what you have to to make that happen. You guys talk about wasting money and all that, who gives a crap... 0o0o0o0o 50$ for 2 months of supply, honestly what is that like 80 cents a day? I say if it helps you by motivating you, and even does a little on the side- and you are someone looking for motivation then take it! You have nothing to lose- besides your weight! =)

I went on a Hydroxycut for a while and experienced the side effects. My stomach was so contorted it rejected all food and I hardly felt like drinking any water. Yes it suppressed appetite; I ended up not eating for about two days but because it was too painful to eat. I felt full because my stomach was filled with acid it seemed puffed up (you can imagine I did not feel skinny). My arms were shaking uncontrollably. It did not improve my performance in my cross country race and caused me to cramp up. I was too sick to go out and have a social life. I'm sure if I stuck with it the adverse affects would diminish as my body got used to the new drug. But the worsened running performance and the stomach sickness did not seem worth the benefeits.

metabolism- 4-5 small balanced simple meals a day, daily cardio of at least 20 minutes.
Fat burning- increased lean muscle mass, water intake, follow the food pyramid.
Muscle growth- hard work, alternating workouts to keep the muscles from getting too used to a particular exercise.
Eat fruit.
Oh yeah, kill alcohol consumption, no junk or fast food, and don't expect overnight results.
Eating lawn clippings has been proven to have the same effect as hydroxycut when this type of program is followed.

I started taking hydroxycut because a friend recommended it to give me energy. I was not intending to lose weight. I loved the amazing amount of energy it gave me, so started taking it regularly (well below the recommended dosage. 2-3 capsules a day). Even this small dosage made me a little nauseated at first, because I previously consumed almost no caffeine and had a little sensitivity to it -- this went away after 2 weeks or so.
What I didn't intend was the weight loss I started to see. I didn't notice at first, until people started commenting. It makes sense that a substance that increases your energy level dramatically will help you lose weight. I also ate less, which may speak to appetite suppressing qualities of the product. After taking it for a few months, I've stopped because the weight loss frankly needs to level off. I think my eating habits permanently are changed now, because I am still losing a little weight.
My weight loss has been pretty moderate. I wasn't overweight when I started and didn't take the pill with the goal of weight loss in mind. I was losing maybe 7 lbs a month. Keep in mind, my weight was stable for years before I took this and I did not increase my exercise or purposely change my eating habits. Also, I don't think my results were psycho-somatic as you imply, because I wasn't trying or wanting to lose weight by taking these.
I find it disturbing how you discount all personal experience in this argument. I agree, scientific proof is important. However, science is not all-knowing - look at the 'facts' that have been proven and disproven throughout history by science. Observation is part of forming a scientific theory, so how can you continue to dismiss observations of results? How many people can you call an idiot for sharing their own observations of results, just because their experience is not supported by documented scientific studies?

Hi Guys,
Interesting comments about the supplement industry. I'm currently in the British military and serving over in Afghanistan. Hydroxycut is available throught the US PX over here and many of the guys are using it with an exercise program and are losing weight.
I'm not using it and I'm exercising and I'm losing weight so is it working - who knows.
I would like to give advice to anyone who is willing to listen about losing weight. Here goes:
Find a sport. Having something to focus on that lets you train towards an event or purpose is a great motivator. Choosing a sport that allows you to train socially with others helps you build friendships and stops you becomming a weight obsessed loner. I would recommend the following for weight loss.
Boxing/Martial arts. Great training encompassing strength, stamina and flexibilty. Good all round fitness training and the possibility of entering competitions etc. Very sociable as you inevitable require a training partner etc. Also has the added benefit of training you to defend yourself against aggressors.
Cycling. Get a road bike and enjoy the countryside. Cycling is a sport that you can sit at a decent heart rate 65-75% for up to 4-5 hours at a time (when trained) which will melt the fat off you, trust me. This can be done in the knowledge that your weight is supported by the seat and you will not damage your knees etc through impact. You may get knocked off your bike however, so be safe.
Running. Enter a marathon, get sponsorship, raise money for charity. Running is the second best way to lose weight (x-country skiing is tops). However, it is an impact sport and if you are carrying a few extra pounds, your knees will suffer if you try too much too soon.
Swimming. This is the ultimate in body sculpting exercises - look at any good swimmer and you will see they are built like Brad Pit in fight club. Great all rounder and non impact. But you have to swim with a purpose, leisurely splashing up and down a lane will not help whatsoever. Join a Triathlon or masters swimming club and train properly for great results.
My advice, take up triathlon, great sport helped me get back into shape after I bust both my knees and took 4 inches off my waist line. Supplement this with some Karate/Taekwondo/boxing training and you will not have to worry about running on your own.
Many thanks for reading this - train well, eat sensibly (no need to diet as such) and you will lose excess bodyweight. Whether you take pills is your choice. I personally take a 1 a day vitamin tablet as I find I get colds if I train hard and do not take extra vitamins.

I'm with you Gav ... the secret to all this is burning up more calories than you take in, or at least finding the right balance to maintain weight once you've got where you need to be.
It's that simple, really.
I'm in Australia, and I'm a surfer. I surf most days, sometimes two or three times deopending on how good it is. You are right about swimming being a good body-sculpting exercise, and surfing is similar and a goodie too, especially for the shoulders and upper back.
However, you do need to do some other leg exercises, and we always joke about a couple of our mates who have the typical surfer's body: very broad shoulders, big chest and pecs, strong-looking arms, biceps and forearms, rock-hard abs - and really skinny bloody legs.
A few years back, feeling a bit down and out after splitting up with the trouble and strife, a friend in the pub suggested I do yoga (and I nearly choked on my drink at the time). I might add that I'm a former rugby league player, so the idea of sitting around saying "om" with a pack of sheilas I thought might be vegans preoccupied with brown rice and scented candles didn't really appeal at the time.
However, I did do it (and still eat steak) ... in a boatshed on Sydney Harbour, usually in the evenings, and it was great over summer here as it's always warm in the evening - and light 'til 8.30pm.
It was a Japanese form of yoga called Oki that incorporates some of the more traditional forms, including the very physical ashtanga. I reckon I lost 15 kilos in about six months - from a fit(ish) 85 down to just over 70 - and became the strongest I've ever been.
My clever mate's response: "Told you so". And the reason: most Oki exercises are aimed at building up core strength, from which the body's other strengths come.
You don't need to put shit into your body to get strong ... you just need to do the right stuff and eat the right foods. Even if it's steak. A ot of trainers will also tell you that if you want to get big, lift heavy weights. If you want to get strong, do a lot of repetitions of lighter weights.
And good luck on your travels over there. I hope you get to have a beer or 20 with a few of my countrymen.
And a merry and safe Chrissie to you as well.

I know nothing about weight loss, or all these items found in this product, but I'm speaking from someone taking this stuff for 3 weeks (the hardcore version). I've lost weight, I know I have. I started working out every day cardio for about 20-30 minutes, and now I don't work out very much, and I stopped eating GREASE COMPLETELY! no more fat foods, fast food, or fried food. I eat grilled everything, and watch how much I eat. Yes, hydroxycut may for some people not work, but that's why it's not for everyone, and the company plainly states that. But when your car is broke down, you hate it, but when it works, boy you love it! same thing goes for hydroxycut, when it doesn't work, you hate it, and dispise it, when really it's not anyone's fault, your body just isn't made for it! Some people's is made for it, and you just have to say, well, it didn't work for me, and try something else, or do cardio, and eat right. You will lose weight, maybe not as much, but a good amount to say wow, I really like this new look.

I've been on a diet and exercise program now for a month but now have just begun taking Hydroxycut Hardcore. I'll let everyone know when I start seeing results. By the way, in previous years I have trained boxing for two years and on and off weight training for four years, supplementing regimes with creatine and protein. Just experimenting with Hydroxycut to see what the hype is about, and if it does work, I won't hesitate to share it with others.
93 - Im just saying...
Ok... THIS IS MY OPINION ... thats ALL... SAM!
I have worked out my hole life... after two kids and staying 19 for 6 years has made losing weight and well keeping it off more difficult. I still plugged on with different exercise routines thinking that maybe my body was just used to this one or that one. I stayed the same... OK NOW I started taking Hydroxy cut in November 07 I still do the same exercise routines that I have done for 5 years and and in a little over 2 months... with the HC I have lost 28 lbs. Same amount of time ... nothing more nothing less... same exercises I have done for 5 years... I don't know if it just hyped my metobolism so I BURN MORE... I do not know. It worked for me tho and the ONLY think I changed WAS I started taking these horse pills...
BUT THAT IS ME... could be a mind thing or whatever either way ... for me they work. I think if you are thinking about them... try them if they don't work don't buy them again because they are obviously not for you.
You only live once DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY! <3

Sal, if you still visit this thing, thanks bud for trying to spread FACTUAL data.
People are stupid, and no matter how much you try to explain yourself, they've been indoctrinated by ADVERTISING to resist anything to the contrary.
Just keep doing your thing, bro. We're reading, we're listening, and we get it. Just not ALL of us.
95 - BM
WOW!!! your all stupid, of course the ingredients in Hydroxycut dont help u lose weight or burn fat. hyroxycut controls ur appetite and increases ur energy. it works if u use it while using a some sort of fitness program. calling the product a waste of money because none of the ingredients burn fat is incorrect.
96 - BM
P.S. the title of the article is incorrect, hydroxycut isn't a "weight lose supplement", its a dietary supplement!!

FIRST OF ALL... SAL M... YOU'RE SO SEXY.. WHY? CUZ YOU'RE SMART.. YOU'RE HANDSOME N YOU'RE A GOOD PERSON BY MOTIVATING OTHERS BY LETTING THEM KNOW THAT THEY'RE THE REASON WHY THEY SUCCEED IN LOSING WEIGHT, NOT THE DIET PILL.. WHICH IS SO TRUE.. BEFORE DIET PILLS WERE INVENTED.. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ACHIEVING GREAT RESULTS WITHOUT THEM.. I WENT FROM 160 TO 115 IN 3 MONTHS.. IT WAS SO WORTH THE HARD WORK BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I CAN SKIP A FEW DAYS OR SO KNOWING THAT MY WEIGHT WON'T FLUCTUATE LIKE PEOPLE ON DIET PILLS.. EATING CLEAN AND LEAN FOODS AND ADDING CARDIO AND WEIGHT TRAINING TO YOUR EXERCISE ROUTINES WILL HELP YOU REACH YOUR GOAL IN NO TIME.. THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO HAVE FUN AND EXERCISE.. YOU CAN PLAY YOUR FAVORITE SPORTS... WALK YOUR DOG.. CLEAN YOUR HOUSE.. DANCE TO YOUR FAVORITE MUSIC.. WALK/BIKE/SKATE BOARD/ROLLERBLADE ETC. TO WHEREVER YOU NEED TO GO.. UNLESS YOU HAVE A BALL TO GO TO WHERE YOU CAN'T SHOW UP ALL SWEATY N STINKY HAHA.. EVEN TYPING IS STILL A BODY MOVEMENT WORKING YOUR MUSCLES..WHY IS HYDROXYCUT SUCCESSFUL??? HYDROXYCUT IS SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE ITS EXPENSIVE AND THEY PROFIT SO MUCH FROM EACH SALE... THEY SAY THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE TRIED IT.. BUT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ACHIEVED NOTHING OUT OF IT.. THEY JUST BASE IT ON THEIR SALES.. IF YOU REALLY WANNA LOSE WEIGHT, DO IT NATURALLY.. DO IT THE RIGHT WAY.. IF YOU THINK THAT HYDROXYCUT IS A STIMULANT THAT RAISES YOUR HEART RATE N HELPS YOU LOSE WEIGHT FASTER THEN YOU'RE A CLOWN.. ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS KNOW WHAT HEART RATE LEVEL YOU FALL INTO BY YOUR AGE... THEN.. TO ACHIEVE GREAT WEIGHT LOSS, RUN OR DO SOME SORT OF CARDIO FOR A MIN OR TWO THAT WILL GET YOUR HEART PUMPING AT THE LEVEL YOU NEED IT TO BE.. THEN QUICKLY START DOING SOME WEIGHTS/OR RESISTANT WORKOUTS... THIS PROMOTES MAXIMUM WEIGHT LOSS.. WHY?? CUZ DOING WEIGHT/RESISTANT TRAINING TRIGGERS YOUR MUSCLES TO BURN FAT... NOW IF YOU MIX YOUR CARDIO WITH YOUR WEIGHT/RESISTANT TRAINING I PROMISE YOU, YOU WILL SEE RESULTS FASTER.. ONCE YOUR HEART RATE GOES DOWN.. RUN ANOTHER 1 OR TWO MIN. ON THE TREDMILL @ SPEED 6-10... SPRINTING IS A REALLY GREAT WAY TO GET YOUR HEART RATE UP FASTER... THEN WHEN ITS UP... CONTINUE ON WITH YOUR WEIGHT/RESISTANT TRAINING.. WHY DO I KNOW THIS WORKS?? BECAUSE IT WORKED FOR ME.. I WAS TRAINED IN STUDEO 55--CANADA'S #1 BOUTIQUE... ITS WHERE YOU FIND CELEBRITIES.. THATS THE SAME TECHNIQUE THEY USE N THATS WHY OUR CELEBRITIES LOOKS SO GREAT.. CUZ THEY HAVE GOOD TRAINING.. N THEY EAT WELL...
"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad the road which leads to ruin, and many there are who enter by it;" Matthew 7:13
SIMILARLY APPLY THIS TO ALL ASPECTS OF YOUR LIFE.. WHEN IT COMES TO WORKING OUT... DO IT THE RIGHT WAY.. IF YOU TAKE THE EASY ROUTE YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO GET MORE PROBLEMS OUT OF IT...
N E WAYS.. I'M RUSHING THROUGH THIS SO IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THEN SORRY TRY READING IT AGAIN.. HAHA... I HAVE A DATE WITH TONY FROM P90X.. TODAY WE'RE WORKING OUT ON ABS :P... BY THE WAY POWER 90 x IS AMAZING.. ITS A MIX OF CARDIO AND WEIGHT/RESISTANT TRAINING IN MOST OF THE WORKOUT VIDEOS.. GIVE IT A TRY... I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN YOUR SUCCESS TO LOSE WEIGHT... DON'T GIVE UP.. BE STRONG... DIET PILLS ARE SCAMS.. HAHA SORRY ITS TRUE

so you discount Hydroxycut because there is not evidence to prove otherwise thats its real. However people do not discount Jesus Christ but none of us have aver seen him or factual evidence that he is real. But millions of people around the world live by the book that was written to give us belief. (Bible)So we should believe the bible because someone wrote it? If works for people, great. If not... run like hell so you can lose wieght on your own!

Trying something new on Feb 12,2008
After gaining 90lbs. in the last 4yrs (22.5lbs yr)
And being dignosed with cronic fituge syndrome, I
have struggled throuth daily tasks with my low "NO" energy for decades and I've been searching for something that will at least give me enough energy so that I won't stuggle so much.
I'm 4'10 3/4" and weigh 190lbs.I am very sceptical to see the outcome of this product works for me.And to really put it to the test to see how much body fat I can loose with this product alone, I only took half a pill on day 1 and 2. It did nothing for energy, but it did however prevent me from benge eating during the day.
Today is Feb 14,2008 and day 3 so far this morning I took one whole pill to see how it will efect my diet,and get me through the day, even though so far I don't feel any different and I'm still tired. I will write back with-in the week to let you how it's working.
102 - Fred Lemon
Good luck, but count me as a skeptic on Hydroxycut. NutritionalTree.com for example rates this product as 1.5 stars out of 5.
103 - The Obnoxious American
I used to take hydroxycut years ago when it was ephedra based, and it definitely worked, I lost pounds. My heart also thudded in my chest like a bass drum and I tingled everywhere. But I lost weight and thats all that matters right? Right?
I am sure Hydroxycut now is just like virtually every legal weight loss supplement on the market - useless.
Why can't we figure out a way to incorporate HGH legally? Forget the Clemen's freak show - HGH really does improve strength, reduces body fat, and is totally natural (they give it to kids!)? Our bodies do stop producing HGH in our thirties. Women get hormone therapy when they stop producing hormones, why is this different? Only because of political taboo?
104 - trying something new
I'm writing back eariler than expected, because so far things are really working great for me. I only took that one pill yesturday, and I ate my usual 2 meals. I eat 2 subs for lunch (520 cal. together)and than a ballenced meal. I didn't feel the need to snack on anything all day. And even though my eyes felt as big as saucers I wasn't gittery,which surprised me, because I do feel extreamly gittery if I drink more than one cup of coffee per day. I also noticed my heart wasn't racing. I did feel very awake and allert although my body wanted to rest as usual.
I started things slow, because I'm very sensitive to medicaction and I wanted to know how it was going to effect me. So far I feel as though it's working for me, because not only do I not feel hungry, but I don't feel full either.
I'm going to continue taking one pill daily with my one cup of coffee, and weigh-in on Saturday to see how much wieght I lost if any and I will report back with my results some time this weekend or by Monday at the latest.
Good Luck to EVERYONE who is also trying something new.

sal m - It appears to me that you are a disgruntled fatman - every time someone posts something positive about hydroxycut you rip them to pieces - Did it NOT work for you ? Are you SO FAT that you would have to take 10 pills a day ? Flat out - you need to GET A JOB - and go to the GYM! I personally am going to go and buy Hydroxycut Hardcore tonight at my local supplement store - I will repost here in a few weeks - I am currently 6'2", 260 lbs and about 22% body fat - I carry my weight well and people tell me I dont look overweight at all - Ive gotten back to the gym recently after back surgery due to disc deterioration( AKA Degenerative disc disease ) my goal is between 3 and 7% body fat ( approximately 202 lbs ) and I am 38 years old. I will keep everyone up to date after 2 weeks. I train regularly and do plenty of cardio. Fingers crossed. GET A JOB SAL.

110 - rob
How much water are you drinking ? - Did you bother to read the label and the tolerance section ? Drink MORE WATER and see how you feel in 2 days - the recommendation is 10 8oz glasses a day - or 5 poland spring bottles @ 16oz each
111 - John Gibson
This product gets terrible reviews. Just visit. I find it amazing that it is working for anyone.
112 - JP
Yeah i read the label just cause i wanna get in shape doesn't mean I'm a dumb ass
I started like it said 1 pill 2 times a day for 3 days 2 pills 2 times a day for 3 days then 3 pills 2 times a day
Yes i drink a lot of water more than that i am sure
I am also putting WHEY protein in the water
not so bad now
good thing i didn't waste money on a doc and i can tell a deference when i swim when i take the pills I could only..... Never mind i will just get bashed for saying something good about herbal supplements!
113 - rob
Re: John Gibsons comments -
Terrible reviews 4 out of 20 is terrible ? - 4 reviews out of 20 didnt like it - and 2 of those reviews were people complaining and they didnt follow the directions - try READING all the posts before you post some negative crap about something or saying it gets "terrible" reviews. 12% of people dont like it where 88% do - The proof is in the numbers.
114 - trying something new
Well unfortunetly, I got sick and ate too many 11.5oz bagss of potato chips. And yes I put all the wieght back on in a few days.
Now I'm currently taking only 2 pills per day to get back what I lost.
Also to help do it faster I'm also drinking 1gal. of water every day, because it too also breaks down body fat.
And I want to belive that only in a few days I've already lost more pounds than I did in thoughs 4 days.
115 - JJ
Lol, JP...
Your lower back pain could be due to something entirely different (such as muscle pain/strain from your workouts), but there's a good chance you're suffering from a heavily poisoned kidney or liver. With supplements like these, you have to drink a lot of water as well as train hard enough to get your body to use it all up. Taking multiple supplements makes that even harder.
One way you can normally tell is through your urine. What I usually do is just try to have clear urine at all times. If not, I just work out harder, drink more water, take less supplements, or a combination of the three.
116 - rob
Ok Update # 1 - I am on day 7 of Hydroxycut - just started doing the 3 pills 2x a day . I am drinking aproximately 6 to 8 - 16oz bottles of water per day - for starters I feel energized - I wake every morning @ 4:45am for work - since taking Hydroxycut I actually "spring" out of bed and the song that is on the radio alarm clock is stuck in my head for the 1st 2 hours of the day - throughout the day I feel pretty good - no kidney pains or or low back pain that anyone is describing - probably due to my high intake of water - peeing clear as well. I take 3 pills at approximately 5:40am and another 3 around 2pm - its basically 7 hours or so between servings which I think spacing them out is great. I hit the gym at approx. 5pm each day. Whether it is to work out with weights and cardio , cardio, or just do the circuit. I have noticed some slight strength gains but thats proabably due to me being energized from the hydroxycut. I will be getting on the scale on March 1 for my 1st official weigh in since going on Hydroxycut Hardcore. As an FYI - On Jan 1 I weighed 285lbs - Feb 20 my 1st weigh in had me at 263.5 - so by just training and eating right I dropped 21.5lbs - the hardest part of your body to lose weight is your gut so that is why I started taking Hydroxycut Hardcore. my main goal is to get to about 6% body fat by my 40th birthday - April 2009. Stay tuned for my next update on Saturday.- Rob

I am not a large person, but I wanted to loose a few pounds for a dance audition, so I bought Hydroxycut. And wow! I lost 3 lbs in one week but boy! do they have side effects! One night, after about a week, I began shaking uncontrollably, I was very nervous, anxious, my resting heart rate was ridiculously high. I had to go to the ER, in turn I found because it does supress your apetite, I was low in sugar, my blood pressure was sky high among the obvious anxiety and nerves. It works to loose weight but you'll really have to consider the side effects.
Consider cardio. Please. I was very scared. And maybe this just happened because I am not a heavy person but start slow anyway.
118 - Brandon
Ive been takin hydroxcut now for 3 weeks and i wasnt lookin to lose weight but i have lost a couple pounds but im a the biggest and as cut as ive ever been.

Im afraid i prolonged the use of hydroxycut..it was good at first for loosing weight but recently ive been feeling jittery, today my heart beat was crazy..i stood up got dizzy and fainted. Maybe this is because im not a large person, just wanted to be thinner...the side effects are very scary! be careful and dont prolong use!
120 - LoLo
I think everyone has a good point. Sal, you might be trying to help people but you are being so rude! You're acting like an immature baby, cussing. You think that cursing at people will help them see your point of view? Dont shove your opinions down other peoples throats. They arent going to listen if they believe something else anyway. Dont bother with the people that wont listen. And dont be rude about it. Come on.
121 - bs
I think it is funny Sal has not responded in so long. Maybe because there are no personal attacks allowed and that seems to be all he did.
There is no need to be rude to people for stating their OWN opinion of the product.
Second. I started HC 5 days ago with all biases known. It works for some, not others. Just like everything else in the world. I have thirty days to send it back and get my money back. Why not try it.
Also, for those wondering about headaches and nausea....condsider the caffiene. I can always tell a change in my body when I drink to much coffee and what not.. i.e. jittery, headaches, nausea and feeling like I am floating on cloud nine.
If it is just a motivator, so be it. Kudos for everyone who is losing weight, no matter how they are losing it, as long as they remain healthy!
State your opinion, don't critisize.
122 - bs
Furthermore, for Sal being so skeptical and for those believing the picture is actually him. He could have posted a picture of anyone! Have you ever heard the song "I look so much better online" ? Nothing is for sure, so I say if you wanna try HC--try it.

I crush up my Hydroxycut and pack it in a crack pipe with fresh chore boy. Melt it down first with a creme brulee' torch. Hit the pipe first thing in the morning. You'll be chasing that first hit all day long. It messes up your teeth and you may end up living in a cheap motel with other Hydroxyaddicts but the weight loss is so worth it. I mean, who would want to have a good life and be overweight. I prefer the crack-head physique. That's the look they're selling on the model runways of New York and I do what fashion and marketing people push on me. Smoke up!
