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.

Summers here and nexy year I'll be a freshman in college. I'm hoping to lose at least 50 pounds in the future! Wish me luck and good luck to everyone and their weightloss!
AWESOME! i weighed 172 pounds and in less then a week i weighed 166
Hi i'm art,I weighed 85 kgs before taking HC,I stopped eating rice instead replaced it with 1 kilo of fresh banana a day and oats,I drink tea the whole day, I've just tried if HC really works but after the 3rd gym session,my weight dropped to 82 kgs just for 5 days,but I only took 1 capsule every session for the whole day and the result was great..
I tried Hydroxcut a couple of months ago and the results were awesome! I topped the scale at 280 pounds, at the end of eight weeksI was down to 242!
Im 24 weighed 158 ,5.4' and Ive been taking the pills one a day before breafast instead of 3 times a day for 4 days and have lost 4 pounds, now im 154pds and with working out 4 times a week and eating healthy it does give you alot of energy so I would advice not to take the pills closer to bedtime .
In addition to burn your fats faster try to use “Waist Trimmer” while you are using treadmill or you are in the Ero… HYDROXYCUT RULES!
I had always been able to loose weight, until recently, the pounds just were not falling off. 5'8"-147. (only want to loose 10 lbs). I decided to try a fat burner. It's been 10 days since I started using Hardcore Hydroxycut. In the first week, I lost 5 lbs. Mind you, I burn at least 700 added calories a day or every other day at the gym. I maintain a healthy diet. 3 meals a day, broken up by snacks. I've even pigged out a few days, and still manage shed the lbs. Since taking HC, I've been, what I consider hot, nauseous, and have experienced a rapid heart beat. Nothing over the top or that I can't handle. I cannot take the recommended dosage, but find that a lower amount works just fine. Another good thing, I don't know if it's in my mind, but I don't have the urge to graze like I used to. I do find myself being hungry in the evening. Sleeping is a little problem. However, even on a few hours sleep, I can still manage the next day. This are the only side effects I have exp. I'd recommend this to a healthy person, looking to use this only for a short amount of time.
Oi it's been 3 days since I started tAking it and wow I have actually lost 3 pounds although the first I took only 3 but I felt none of the side affects cept for sleeplessness but I just wore a sleeping mask which helped solve that problem . I weighed 153 pounds but have to get in shape for boxing and I believe this product will help me achieve results faster but I maintain a strict very low calorie diet: cereal or oatmeal in the morning, a salad for lunch, a salad with white meat for dinner this may seem like an extreme diet but it will definetly help you achieve results faster. I still go to school so working out may be tough but I don't waste my time doing frivolous stuff instead I work out for 1-2 hours when I get home and then do all my work non stop for the next 5 hours and take the pills. I try to sleep by 10-11 pm so I will be able to wake up at 5 am to jog and work out. You MUST have a good diet and exercise plan for this to work and I reccommend drinking as much water as you can cause it will flush out all the bad stuff inside your body. :) good luck

I'm 5'8. I started dieting in Sept 08 with a starting weight of 271lbs. I am currently STUCK at 196lbs. I work out, I watch my food intake. I just FEEL like I need something to kick me over the curb I have been stuck at for almost a month. I have NEVER use a supplemental weight loss pill. I am hoping this will be just what I need to pop my metabolism back into place.
I used hydroxycut for 1 week. Drank tons of water and light exercise. By the 7th day my heart started racing even when I was just sitting or doing very little activity. I got very little sleep and developed dry patches on my skin. I stopped the hydoxycut cold turkey and had terrible withdrawl symptoms for 5 days..headache, tremors, upset stomach, night sweats. I would not recommend this to anyone!
when i was 19 i took the Weight gainer drink to build msuic because i was like 110 lbs and 5'4 i gained a lot and ended up overweight at 150. i started running eveyother day and i lost it and went down to 118 year later. but when i started to go to college i didn't have time to run and the weight came back. i wonder if that weight gainer fucked up my metabolism forever? so i'm looking for something help reverse that, maybe hydroxycut?
Ok... I've been dieting and exercising off and on my whole adult life. I just turned 42, 5'1" and 145 lbs. I'm a size 8-10, so most of my weight is muscle. I work out 6 days a week at a gym. At least and hour of cardio and 30 min of weight training. Plus, kickboxing, yoga, step etc. I eat a pretty healthy diet, lean protein, good carbs, limited sugar etc. I have probably 20 lbs of stubborn belly fat I want to lose by summer. I just started HydroxyCut Hardcore today. I have really plateaued and hope this helps push me along. So far I feel great!
made me sick in the stomach and I only would take threeee pills dailey
I LOVE THIS PRODUCT.. im on my 4th day and I already lost 3 lbs. My healthy diet consists of alot of protein. I typically eat 2 egg whites and 1 piece of toasted whole wheat bread or a Dunkin Donuts Vegtable Egg white flatbread sandwich if im in a rush for breakfast .. REMEMBER ITS IMPORTANT TO EAT BREAKFAST! ITS THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY. For lunch i typically have a salad with low fat honey mustard dressing or a roast beef sandwich on whole wheat bread and for a snack in between breakfast and lunch ; as well as lunch and dinner I like to eat friut my favorite is strawberries.. Not only are strawberries good for you but they are also negative calories which help you burn more calories.. And for dinner i usually eat a form of meat whether it is a piece of grilled chicken or a little but of ground beef.. and with that i have vegtables (usually spinach or a small salad) I also exercise everyday.. i either go to the gym or walk in my development.. when im at the gym i do a 45 minute cardio and the eliptical and 25 on the bicycle.. and i walk for 2 hours on the days im not at the gym.. DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL IF YOU ARE LAZY.. it wont help you .. its supposed to speed up weight loss not lose the weight for you. This pill deffinatly helps, I have so much more energy now than before. When I go to the gym now I can run for 45 minutes and I still wont be tired. Before the pill i could barely run for 10 minutes without running out of breath.
Ok Im doing a bit of the atkins, no carb diet. High protein such as tuna, grilled chicken and vegetable fruit diet. i will not eat beef or pork and Im going to hit the gym 3 xs a week doing cardio for 30 mins followed by 15 minute weight training. We're going to rate this hydroxycut once and for all. If you'd like to follow me hit me on face book felicia cunningham of nashville, TN
