well i had taken hydroxycut before and lost 12 pounds in two weeks and that is eating better (i do admit i didnt give up my soda) and working out 5x a week. i stopped taking it cause i was in the process of moving half way around the world. so now i gained the weight back and have to start all over again. but i have been doing it for 4 days and lost 5 pounds already. so it really does work..
the downside of it is you have to keep taking this pill cause your body is going to rely on this product. cause once you stop taking this pill you can continue eating right and exercising but you will start gaining weight back.. so if your not afraid of spending the money and taking this pill everyday then this is a good product. lets just say i would recommand this to people before they considered surgery.
this time around i am going to eat healthier and now that i drink diet soda i should have better results
it has been 10 days since i started using it. and..... i lost about 3 pounds. it is not much, but i am absolutely happy with losing "good" 3 pounds. my target is 10 pounds in a month or in 45 days. last 10 pounds is always the tougest.
so far, things are working out good. i do not know about boosting energy, but definitely i lose my apetite and i do not feel the hunger so much. that is a good things. i think it is workin so far.
again, i will keep you posted.

works good for me
ok... so I read the comment from "Deryl" and I would like to add something for all of you big girls out there. Going on a diet and exercising does not always work! I myself have been eating healthy, no pop no junk. I exercise 5 days a week for and hour with half of that pure cardio (I run...alot im training for a marathon) and the other half weight train. You want to know how much weight I have lost......NONE! I am the same amount now as I was 2 months ago...you want to comment on that? I didnt think so. I started taking this pill two weeks ago and I have been doing the EXACT same routine that I was previously and in two weeks I lost almost 7 pounds! This studd really works... no matter what others might say! GO FOR IT!
so I have been taking Hyrdoxycut since December 10th.... a little over a month now.... in the first week I lost 9 LBS and since then I have lost another 11 LBS (which I do admit I got off track a little with my mom's christmas tamales =p) but I started at 175 and now one month later I'm at 155.... This stuff really does work.... for the people that say HC doesn't work.... you do have to do your part...... of course you have to make healthier meal choices and excercises.... and you may think that why waste your money when diet and exercise is free.... well HC really does speed up the process because it controls your appetite and gives you energy and also helps break down water weight.... HC does make you eat less so make sure that the little bit of food that you DO eat is very nutritious.... you can't expect to just eat junk and not exercise and take the pill and you'll magically drop the weight....
I used hydroxycut while losing my target weight, 40 lbs and I continued to use it afterwards and it always kept my hunger under control. I really, really liked it is all I can say, lol. You have to eat right and excersice though with whatever you take.
I've been taking hydroxicut for a little over two weeks. Along with a low carb diet and excercise i have lost over 10 pounds. This product really gives me energy and no crash. I reccomend it to anyone serious about wieght loss.
I'm 18, and hydroxycut with Green Tea works for me ( : there is no way a weight loss pill could just keep ur weight off, you have to be active, and willing to try...
I used it for like 5 months, and I ate what I wanted...sort of just didn't GORGE. I cut out fast food and replaced all drinks with water. I hate plain water so I drank cystal light Iced Tea. Hittin the gym 4 times a week. 20 mins of joggin before you know it I went from. 225 to 175. It works just gotta set your mind to what you want.
So far so good. I really can't complain. I am dieting and exercising as well, but I think its worth it if you are trying to lose weight.
I lost 30 pounds with this product, even without strenuous exercise in only 11 weeks
This product did nothing for me. My headaches were so bad I would cry. This was the first time and the last. I still continued to take it for 3 weeks with exercise and diet. I gained 3 pounds. Everything is not for everyone.
To those of you who didn't like my earlier post: You're right, and I apologize.
My (too sarcastic) point was that this and every other weight-loss product is a scam. Please save your money and use the only proven method of losing weight: Diet and exercise.
I need some advice. I am 21 years old and just started taking the Hydroxycut drink packets, I work out on a regular basis, and eat fairly healthy. I am trying to shed a few pounds a little quicker which is why I started using Hydroxycut. Do you think this is the right product for what I am looking for? I weight 125 lbs. and am 5'5, so there isnt that much to loose besides some body fat.
this is my second day taking it and i have a very weird feeliing, i think it s working but i dont like the side effects. in the morning i felt sick to my stomach and instead of having more energy, i feel tired
I have been taking the drink packets for about 3 days now. I do feel a lot more energy, BUT, I am wondering if the pills would be easier. I find myself gaging trying to swallow those last few drinks of the packet I have been forcing my self to drink 30 to 60 minutes before each meal. Does anyone have any advice to what I should do. What is the difference in price and in effect with the pills and the drink packets???
There's a caffeine free version of it, which is good b/c I have anxiety issues that are worsened by caffeine. The only negative is that it gives me horrendous gas.
I have been an on and off again taker of Hydroxycut. I usually only take these when re-programming my body. I work out 4 times a week and eat 5 small meals a day. I have seen dramatic responses each time. I have tried the same work outs an meals without the pills and it has taken alot slower to lose the weight. These pills increase my energy, they assist in breaking down water weight, and help with my appetite. I also have Hypothyroidism, so it has helped control my hormone level as well. If you look up each ingredient and research them you will see its has some great attributes!
The only thing I would suggest is for MEN to be careful. This product does contain a chemical that is related to testicular atrophy. Please be cautious!!!
ALEX - I don't take them after 5pm. It will cause you to lose sleep. May I suggest just taking one in the morning when you first wake up. That may help.
I agree with some of the other posts I have seen. I have been taking the pills for about 5 days now and I have had some pretty bad side effects as a result including: not being able to sleep, shaky, headaches and feeling sick to my stomach. The side effects are not worth it. I plan to continue eating healthy and working out an hour a day.
i love this stuff!! whoever is saying it doesnt work ur jst probably doing it wrong
