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.…

Can someone please give me some well needed advice??
I am a 19 year old college student who has struggled with her weight for the majority of her life. I was never considered obese, but have never been satisfied with my weight.
I was considering purchasing hydroxycut to aid in my current weight loss, but am now alot more skeptical. Because I am not extremely overweight it is very hard for me to lose even 5 pounds. Ive noticed that with moderate diet and cardio/weight training I look bigger. Im guessing that's because im gaining muscle. But I would much rather lose weight first then gain muscle later.
HELP!

Julia,
If you are so concerned about your current weight and aim to start a regimen to reduce it, consult a nutritionist before beginning. They will provide you with a proper dietary plan that in addition to exercise will help in getting the desired results. Before starting any OTC oral mediciations, consult your primary care physician.

Thanks for putting in all of your opinions. This is the only place in my research on the product that had some intelligent thoughts and reporting on the product. I've decided the give it a month with diet and exercise and see if I can lose these pesky 12 lbs i can't seem to lose any other way. I'll come back and let you know how it goes.

I'm 18 and I started hydroxycut for a month and a half. i havent had any side effect so far and I work at pizza hut and you know there pizza and wings contains numerous amount of calories.Anyway my weight before the pills was set at 163 lbs and now i'm 138.I feel great.You just have to follow the recommended dosage and make sure you drink plenty of water because thats important. I will guarented in fact that this product will work even if you not using a well nurish balanced diet.REMINDER:everyone is different and medications whether its a diet supplment or a weight loss pill will have some type of reaction to your body. Hydroxycut is not made for everyone so please stop making negative comments about this product because it does work for others but not you. Try talking to your doctor about what diet plan will be right just for you or you can purchase the pink patch which can curb your appetite and give you the right amount of energy to not have you feeling jittery.

Look people...stop claiming that HD does not work completely. Honestly, it will work for some people and it wont for others. It might give you side effects, it might not. If it works for you, great! But if it does not work, then try something else or just do it the natural way but dieting and exercising on a regular basis.

I started taking hydroxycut max one week ago. I have successfully lost about 40lbs. on my own through workout and diet change in the past year. I have not stopped my routine but I haven't seen any changes in months. My body fat ratio is still high. I am not overly over weight but I wanted something to help burn the belly fat that refuses to go away. My concerns are; since I started this product my chest feels heavy, I have had a pounding headache every day and my muscles have been bothering me. These side affects make no sense to me. Does anyone else out there share these same side affects and do they go away? I have stopped taking it for now.

Everybody's metabolism, body type, patterns of sleep, nutrition, exercise, water intake, etc. is different. I can absolutely understand where the skeptics are coming from, especially if it didn't work for you. And I likewise understand where the proponents are coming from, especially if it actually DID work for you.
Weight loss is as much an art form as it is a science, and what works for one may not work for the other. I'm a huge skeptic with many supplements and am well aware of the schemes that the supplement companies use to brainwash us and steal our money.
As far as Hydroxycut (Hardcore), I personally do use it and I do get very noticeable results. It raises my metabolism, gives me energy, makes me hungry every few hours (which allows me to eat many small meals a day), and my "bowel movements" happen much sooner after eating and are more frequent. I've gone on and off many times, and have confirmed all these effects many times.
So does it directly burn fat? Probably not in any significant way. But does it indirectly get me into much better shape? Absolutely. A supplement doesn't have to actually burn fat as the means to lose weight. What Hydroxycut does is FACILITATE a healthier way of eating and exercise, so that YOU can do the rest to get into better shape.

Ok, guys, if Hydroxycut is not a weight loss pills then what about L-carnitine??? Does it help to lose your fat and increase muscles faster if compare it with workouts instead of just workouts without taking L-carnitine???
Thank you for answer.

Sal M, you're really just a failure of a skeptic. Look up your facts. The ingredients work. I was #1 in the state of NJ for the mile my senior year of high school and I nearly tore my achilles. The steroids made me fat over the next year. I tried training with nothing but a good diet and I didn't have the power to pull anything off. I took hydroxycut when my doctor said it was okay, and I easily ran the amount of distance I used to run (12 miles a day), even though I weighed 30 pounds more. I lost 26.8 pounds in about a month and a week because of hydroxycut, and now I'm what I was two years ago just stronger and more confident. I advise people who don't get irritable over an energy drink to give hydroxycut a shot, it saved my body.

I'm an avid cyclist, both road and mountain, and have been in great shape since spring, able to do 3 hour, 30+ mile rides, but I was stuck at 233-235 for 4-5 months. I started taking CAFFEINE FREE Hydroxycut a month and a half ago, and without changing diet, exercise, or lifestyle (I ride one of my bikes at least the 5 mile round trip to work every day), I've dropped almost ten pounds in that time. That's with lifting a couple times a week too. Also, I haven't been taking as much Hydroxycut as they recommend, just 3-4 a day.
To those whose workouts include weight lifting and aren't happy with weight loss, remember, muscle weighs more than fat! If you are building muscle, worry more about how you look and feel than what the scale says.

i have lost 5kgs since i started taking hydroxycut. followed the instructions, 2 pills 30-60mins before meals, followed by workout ard 2 times a weeks. how bout that?
139 - MORONS
Morons have overrun this board.
THERE IS MEDICAL EVIDENCE THAT THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT WORK. That's it. There's no more arguments to be had, no simpleton-like logical fallacy (I lost two pounds, it MUST work).
And no more bible verses.
Morons.

I used it and it makes me sick!!! I felt terrible and I had to stop it after 2 days. It made me feel like I have to throw up. Can't say if it works because after the short time, it did not. For me it was a waste of money and feeling like crap!

Be careful of Hydroxycut! New evidence has come to light. See this article on the dangers of losing weight with Hydroxycut.

Oh boy - all of you need to check out this article on the dangers of losing weight with Hydroxycut as per warning by the FDA. Maybe it is not true for all, but I am still worried.

If you have ever taken Duromine it feels like that..dry month, headaches, but good thing supresses the appetite..thus helps u loose weight..does give you energy as well..but i also exercise every morning..i would recmd hydroxycut to anyone who just wants that kick start to weight lose..good luck

I THINK THAT HYDROXYCUT SHOULD ADD TO THER DIRECTIONS, BY STATING YOU SHOULD ONLY USE IT TO JUMP START YOUR WEIGHT LOST AND AFTER 6 WEEKS OR SO IF IT DOESNT WORK 4 YOU OR YOU START TO GET THE SIDE EFFECTS OR EVEN IF YOU HAVE A GUD EXPERIANCE STOP. "YEAH I KNO ITS EASIER SAID THEN DONE FOR A HYDROXYCUT JUNKY". THEN SEEK FURTHER ADVISE FROM A NUTRITION OR HOW EVER YOU WANT TO GO ABOUT IT FROM THERE.I DO FEEL LIKE THE PRODUCT WORKS GREAT! BUT I DONT THINK THAT PEOPLE SHOULD USE IT FOR LONG TERM WEIGHT LOSS. JUST A THOUGHT.

I have recently started taking Hydroxycut and I am amazed!!! I was on a terrible hormone shot for a year and it completely screwed up my hormones. I gained 20 pounds, and even when I worked out 2 months, everyday, jogging, weights, whatever... I only lost about 8 pounds. I ate healthy and so I got really discouraged. I picked up exercising again, this time with Hydroxycut. I've already lost 5 pounds in that past week. It may be the extra energy I have by taking the pill form, but something is working. I do not know how long it will last, but I know so far, so good.
