Hydroxycut Recall after FDA Warning to Stop Using the Diet Pill

When Hydroxycut is combined with a diet and exercise regimen, the product claims to help users shed two-to-three times more weight that without.

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.

I started Hydroxycut yesterday, 01/03/08. Knowing that it has high amounts of caffeine I am starting off with only taking 1 pill before breakfast, 1 before lunch and skipping dinner. I still have a little caffeine buzz. My energy level during the day is fantastic so far and I woke up feeling better then I have in years.

I've been on it for about 1 week. I eat the same things I did before just less of them. I've lost 5 lbs. I quit drinking soda and added carrots and celery as a snack.

If you go on the HYdroxycut website, they have to post the side effects by law.

I have been using Hydroxycut for years and it works great. Now they came out with Hydroxycut Hardcore and it really helps you burn the fat so you can tone up even faster. If you lift weights or do cardio, you will really see results. Make sure you drink plenty of water.

I have been using Hydroxycut for a little over a month, and I haven't had any problems. I think it's a great product and I would recommend it to my friends. In fact, in the past week, I lost 6lbs. I haven't had any side effects, so I don't know what these people are talking about. Just like any other diet pill, you have to be willing to commit to it fully. Any diet pill that says that you can lose weight and eat whatever you want, is a lie. In order to get the results that you want, you still need to eat right and exercise. I drink nothing but water and I watch what I eat. Most of the side effects come from adding caffeine to your diet. Hydroxycut has Caffeine in it, and if you add more caffeine to that, than that's where you get the side effects like high blood pressure and irregular heart beats.

My question is if it's truely hydroxycut that is melting the fat away or the fact that you're eating healthier and exercising. My wife and I are having our first baby and I have gained 30lbs of "sympathy" weight so I was considering incorporating hydroxycut into my diet and exercise. However, it sounds like hydroxycut has the same results as typical exercise and healthy eating which is required with hydroxycut. Which gets me to what's the point of hydroxycut? It honestly sounds like it's more of a lifestyle change versus hydroxycut. But I may be wrong...UGH!

I find that the product does curb my appitite but I can't seem to takie but 1 pill before each meal. 2 pills seem to make me dizzy. Am I going to get any real result;s with just 1?
