i just started taking the product i feel that it does make u less hungry b/c b4 i couldn't stop eating now i dont even really think of food as i did b4 but my question is i take other thing like one a day womens and fish oils and this green tea stuff i don't take them all the same time but i'm still wondering if its bad to take them all the same day????/
I'm on the second time of day four and i have knowist that i have more energy and my stomach is getting smaller even this earily i haven't look at the scale yet and i goona in 2 weeks. i just got back to doing my work out and i am doing much more reps and stuff like that. i am doing 150 crunchs a day. the funny thing is that i like the taste of the pills when i take them i'm like yum and then the go down my throat really easily and even when i'm taking two pills
i just started last night. i had so much energy and i didnt even have the urge to cheat at all and thats my biggest problem. Im so excited to continue this product.. BUT i just turned 16. is this bad for my age?
I am trying to lose 5lbs. I have been eating healty and going to the gym about 4x a week, but see no real results. Will this pill work for me?
I just started Hydroxycut after 3 family members and a friend raved about it. I tried Slimquick first and noticed my water weight went down, but this works so much better. In the first 3 days i already lost 4 lbs. I write down everything I eat and the calories. I haven't had any side effects and the caffine does not bother me. I work at a well known coffee shop so instead of the espresso pick me up I get it from the pills. I only recommend this for those who use it safely and eat a balanced diet and do some sort of activity throughout the day. After going through many life changing events in the last year I have gained 30 lbs and only need to lose 47 more to go!
3/17/08 - Just bought the Hydroxycut Hardcore today. Took the first pill in the afternoon and ready to hit the gym tonight... will update on how it goes. I've been working out (wieghts and cardio), eating healthy but just hit a plateau at 193.... target is 175. Hope this works!
does anyone know if this affects your reproductive harmones?
I Have been Using this product for while and i can tell u this that it works better than other products. U can Multiply the effects by double if you work out hardcore
I hope this works! I'm going to start tomorrow!!! I only have about 10 pounds left... I'm 5'8" and started at 167 and am currently at 150, I work out 5-6 days a week and watch my caloric intake! BUT I have hit a plateau. I'm ALWAYS hungry, I don't know if it's from the hour and a half-two hours of exercise 5-6 days/week or what! But I really hope this stuff helps me reach my goal... Keeping my fingers crossed and my mind on track!
If your already going to gym 5x a week, doing both weights and cardio, along with eating healthy foods, will this product make a difference?
Been taking the pill since 3/3/08. I don't exercise a LOT, but we also bought a Wii and I've been playing Wii sports in the evening with my family. Appetite definately suppressed! I have more energy. I pretty much only drink water as a rule anyway, but I'm definately thirstier and have to keep water with me at all times. No signifigant side effects and in the one week I've been taking it I've lost 5 lbs.
I used it for 2 weeks. Just ain't working for me! Good luck to you.
I just bought my hydroxycut, and I'm stoked to use it, I am just wondering, if I'm too hyped up to sleep after using it durng the day... can I take my perscribed sleeping pills...?
its great
I love this product. I've been on Weight Watchers for 5 weeks, losing less than a pound a week, even with exercising. I added hydroxycut to my regimin and I have the energy to work out longer and I'm more energetic. I haven't weighed myself yet, I'm saving that as a treat for Friday. Everyone on WW disagrees with my usage, but I don't care. I don't get dizzy or jumpy and I sleep well at night. I think the secret to avoiding that is LOTS of water and not taking it 4-6 hrs before you go to bed.
Hydroxy cut works amazingly! I used it for 3 months and lost 30 pds with no exercisie or dieiting. I would recomend this pill to anyone!
3-6-08 : I sleep great, I dont feel sick nor dizzy and i feel great. You must drink ur 8 bottles of water. Ull feel good afterwards. Great appetite suppressor. Lost 4lbs so far. just gradually take the pill. Do not jump instantly to the max. dosage. Ill update later.
3/4/08 - Today is day 3 of my diet program and its mixed. On the first day i had no problems or symptoms, but sleeping was rough. every 30 minutes i keep waking up. it does surpress ur diet and u get a lot of energy once u hit the gym. But on day 2-3 i gotten just a little dizzy, after i ate i felt sick and my chest hurt a little. I have low blood pressure so it brings it to the normal range. but my pulse per minute is 70-90 beats. is that normal? Im goin to weigh myself later so ill update you on that
Is it true that one of the side effects of the Hydroxycut provoke the break out of acne?????? And what could be the risk of a minor from taking the capsules? I am just 17 but I wanna loss my exeded pounds!!!!! I need tips and info, thank you
I used Hydroxycut 5 years ago and had amazing results. I didn't change my diet or add scheduled exercise. I ate what I normally did and moved around at my job and school. I did have migraines after two months of use (stopped after that-reached my desired weight anyway) and when I noticed early on that I got the jitters really bad I just went down a step. I worked up to 2 pills twice a day and it was all I could handle and it worked perfectly! Many of you are asking about the diet... Back when I took it, they recommended on the bottle to take a multivitamin. I didn't. Like I said, I didn't do anything different. My appetite plummeted and I actually got nervous about it because I only had a bowel movement once every two weeks because I simply wasn't eating enough. I even started to bruise easily. I got married and started eating more, so now I'm back, but this time I'm taking a multivitamin and since I know it will completely kill my appetite, I'm only putting past my lips the richest, most nourishing of foods. I won't waste my little hunger on trash. For me, and I think most of you, we just have to cut out of our diets what we know we shouldn't be eating, anyway.
