NUTRITIONIST'S REVIEW
A nutritional supplement designed to help consumers lose weight and is marketed by lovate Health Sciences Inc. Once containing ephedra, but after being banned by FDA now is produced without ephedra. This product claims to increase metabolism and reduce hunger cravings. According to published studies, key ingredients in the Hydroxycut formula may help people lose up to 4.5 times the weight than they would with just diet and exercise alone. However, efficacy of this product is much debated and highly questionable. The primary weight loss ingredients include garcinia cambogia, gymnema sylvestre, chromium polynicotinate, caffeine, green tea.
The claims for this pill's success is paired with a reduced calorie diet and an exercise regimen. Almost all weight loss can be contributed to changing ones eating habits, exercising, and most weight loss is seen when you combine the two. Therefore, this pill's success could be known simply as the placebo effect. If you change how you eat, exercise, and take a pill, you could get confused and think the pill is the secret to your weight loss success.

I have been taken it for a week now and lost 5 pounds. Has cut the cravings TONS and IMMEDIATELY. I dont' have a problem sleeping at night or get headaches or seem to have no side effects. I tried this because I had a friends lose 75 pounds in 1 year while doing pilates. Thats amazing! I love this product!
bri hydroxycut shudnt interfere with the birthcontrol..but h0wever i was on the birth control shot nd i gained 20 pounds but that was bfor takin hydroxycut..but my doctor said it shudnt interfer ..but u shud really check nd c if your birthcontrol is making u gain weight cuz then the better thing to do is switch bcirthcontrol nd hydroxycut shud help....but ive been taking diet pills since i could remember i started with staker 2 which is really gud but while i was on the birthcontrol shot i realized my dietpills wernt working so check it out
My wife has started this supplement about 6 to 8 months ago. She is a gym freak and has changed her diet completely and has lost almost 40 pounds. She was almost 180 and is closing in on the 140 mark at a incredible rate. With the right dieting and a routine work-out plan, you will need to buy a new wardrobe. i higly recommend this product to anyone who who wish to lose weight. At first she suffered minor side effects but with all pilled products your body adjusts, the only thing that i can recall that she suffered is the restlessness that most dietary energy pills have due to the Caffeine. As long as you stick to a good work out plan and change your diet you WILL be on the right path to loasing weight, add this product and your weight loss will more than triple. AND REMEMBER, hydration is vital to any plan PERIOD!\n\nGOOD LUCK
I started hydroxycut on monday (its friday) and i have lost 4 pounds. I am going to keep everyone posted on how it is going. Im going to try it for a month and if it works, keep it going.
Brit, people in this country like fake boobs and big muscles. Also a little thing called FREEDOM! Maybe its you who is wrong with this country. \n\nEither way I'm getting a bottle of this stuff tomorrow and I'm taking the whole damn thing at once.
I JUST WENT OUT AND BOUGHT IT TODAY... I HATE TAKING ANY KIND OF PILLS DUE TO ALLERGIES AND WORRY IF I WILL DIE FROM ANY MED. BUT I WILL GIVE IT A TRY...I WILL DEFINETLY LET ALL YOU KNOW IF IT REALLY WORKS,,,,,,,
i've been taking hydroxcut for a little less than a week and have lost nearly 6 lbs already.. paired with a healthy diet and excercise, this stuff really works! the only thing i've noticed is that i have troube falling asleep and staying asleep. i wouldn't recommend taking them too late in the day.. other than that, i love it!!
I have been taking hydroxycut for a month now but forget from time to time to take the pills, is this going to impact how much fat i lose?? I have shed some pounds so far and think maybe if I didn't miss any it would be more
I haven't found the same burst of energy that some of the reviewers have but I do have the rapid weight loss and I think part of it is also the appetite supression I have experienced. either way I am happy
I love hydroxycut, lost 10 pounds in two weeks and didn't hit the gym once. I can't wait to see where i get in month 2
This stuff gives me so much energy and some of the stinkiest gas that I have ever had. I love it!
lost 2 lbs in 4 days!
I completed one bottle and peed like a racehorse. I saw no substantial weight loss.
i've been taking hydroxycut since last friday (today is thursday). I weighed myself on Monday, and today. on monday I lost 2.9lbs and since monday i've lost 2.6 lbs. 5 1/2 lbs in a little less than a week. i love this stuff
I just started the product 4 days ago. So far I feel fine, just having a little trouble sleeping. My energy level has really picked up and that's positive. I am not fond of pills but, I will give this program one month. If it works I will be blogging you all soon.
I just started taking Hydroxycut today, ive only taken 2 so far and dont plan to take more than that in a day. Im on the pill and i had asked a pharmascist if hydroxycut would interfere with the pill. The pharmacists said it would be fine unless you start getting headaches consistantly. I hope that doesnt happen. I want feed back if anyone does find that hydroxycut does interfere with the pill. Also, Hydroxycut does curb my appetite and i am drinkin a lot of water, hopefully enough so that Hydroxycut does not harm me, i haventy had any side affects yet and i hope i dont get any. I was also wondering if anyone isnt weighing themselves but is measuring their waste and areas of your body that you are mainly concerned about, and seeing any results? Thanks!

Why don't all of you try taking something that's more natural, like some herbal supplements? Or try using more natural methods to lose weight? Why does everyone think the answer is in a pill? That's what's wrong with our country.
