hey guys, hydroxycut just gives you energy so you can go out an workout...if you guys want...to save money just take a caffeine pill or energy drink...who wouldnt want to go workout if you feel jitters...save your money, every diet or workout supplement will tell you to work out and you have that mindset that you have to workout for it to work when really all it is is you working out...good on the pills part for making you workout haha...but try something cheaper, hydroxycut is expensive...just take some kind of energy pill like caffeine pill and you will workout good like 5 times a week

I started Hydroxycut because my weight loss was stalled out (work out every day, only water, eating healthy)...after starting it, I dropped 7 lbs in two days and I'm back on track. Just needed the boost, and I'm looking forward to more results!

Hydroxycut helps but you cant use it exclusively. I am taking it so that i can lose the 10 pounds I gained at college. i am taking 6 a day and not eating as much as i am used to. i have lost 5 or 6 pounds in a week. i cant tell if it helped. p.s. the first night i couldnt sleep at all but if you can get past that you should be good. give yourself 5 or 6 hours before bed if your going to take it

Does hydoxycut still have ephedrine in it? I just bought ephedrine p57 because I didn't think hydroxycut contained ephedra anymore? anyone know?

"My question is if it's truely hydroxycut that is melting the fat away or the fact that you're eating healthier and exercising" It's probably more the latter than anything to do with hydroxycut. And i say this after cycling on and off it the past few years to kick start new diets/workouts. It definately limits your appetite which is a big plus when first kicking off a diet, beyond that its more of a motivator to eat healthy and exercise. You have to elimiate caffeine products, a big calorie cut for most people, and you have to excercise fairly reguarly to keep your blood pressure in line. bottom line to help kick off a diet and ajdust your eating/activity lifestyle its a huge help. beyond that its not a miracle solution. you will experience increased blood pressure (especailly the first week or so) you be antzy and fidgety during down time, and the first few nights trying to sleep can take getting used to.

I just started today, I hope this works. I have gained 10 pounds over the holidays. I have already lost 50 pounds on my own with diet and exercise, I have been trying to lose these last 15-20 pounds for months and its not working very well. I just hope hydroxycut works.

I'm young and probably shouldn't even be worried about diet pills yet nor do I need them at all but for some reason still want to lose more weight. Hydroxycut seems to actually be working I've lost 2 lbs. since Saturday and tomorrow is Tuesday. I'm only looking to lose about 10 more lbs. However, Hydroxycut is making me nervous because at times I have gotten very dizzy and light headed, has anyone had those side effects? Plus, it says eat things with low calories, what else is good to eat while using it?

Good for you William! thats awesome!

My problem is usually that a diet pill works great in the morning/afternoon... but taking it close to evening, I would never sleep. So I take the regular Hydroxycut in the day and add an extra dosage in the evening at 8pm (caffeine-free)... works awesome since my nighttime eating is what always got me into trouble. So far, results are awesome. Hopefully I do stick with my New Year's resolution to lose weight this year! It's been easier so far at least. Good luck, everyone.

Hey I was 347lbs and I'm only 20 years old. I started Hydroxycut a week ago and I'm almost down 14lbs. This was the only pill that worked, along with whey protein, albacore, and other healthy foods. I've only done minimal work outs.
