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. When taking Hydroxycut, it is suggested that users commit to consistent exercise and a low-calorie diet. Take Hydroxycut half-to-one hour prior to meals with eight ounces of water.

this product is amazing, i have lost close to 23 pounds now and i hope to lose more, but of course you will have to cut down on the foods that you eat and work out regularly to see results, but if you just plan to take this product without regular exercise then i suggest that you dont bother with the pils.

I've been taking it for five day now can't sleep at night and gain 4 lbs. I was already on a low cal diet I'll give it another week if I gain any more pounds I'll quit. It did do one thing doe It increase my sexual appetite. I had sex 6 times in one day, all six time for over and hour. At lease it worked for something.

audreys whos not paid off? kkkkkk
im 20. i weigh 165 lbs. before summer, i was around 200 lbs. i went to korea. the combination of healthy foods over there and the heat helped me lose 30 lbs. i ate several times a day. i walked a little bit. anyways... i just started the womens' pill 2 days ago. so far, ive noticed a crazy high blood pressure, extreme energy, and sleeplessness. when i went to the gym to run, i ran faster than ever and felt like i was jogging. my body got really cold as i ran. usually i get overheated and out of breath. i didnt do that while on the pill. i got too cold and my blood felt like it was going to burst from my jugulars. i like the pill though because its this pretty red color. thats cool enough for me because im depressed and if a red pill makes me wanna keep going... why not? its new. its exciting. its... hahaha hydroxycut womens. email me to compare results: audrey_edmiston@hotmail.com

Be careful with hydroxycut. It works well, but if not taken according to the instructions can cause major problems. I used hydroxycut in college to tone up. It lead to kidney failure. I was dialysis for 3 years before receiving a new kidney. I was only concerned about looking good at any cost. In retrospect, it wasn't worth it.

diet pills just DONT work. its just a way to get your money. exercise and diet it what works. yah it may take some time to see results but is waisting money and health problems worth it?? maybe to you but not to me! id rather take 45 mintues out of my day to exercise and just cut calories!
Raquel

I started using hydroxycut not long ago. I weighed 126lbs last year. This year I weigh 168lbs. For my height which is 5"2, it's not healthy. I'm hoping this helps me. maybe some people don't have the time to take 45 mins out of each day to exercise. We do what we can. I hope this works!
Sarah
Im a little nervous to start using this... Does it really work? I've gained about 15 punds that i want to shed.. Its 'Winter Weight'... With good diet & exercise, how long will this take? Will I gain the weight back double if i stop taking it?

There seams to be some mixed reviews. i took it for about a month i was trying to drop only about 5 lbs. i already worked out 3x a week regularly and ate relatively healthy. i only lost about 2 lbs with in a month. but im sure i could have done that with out the pill. i had NO side effects what so ever. i felt fine except that you get extra full. it would help if your a snacker. its important to take it 30-60 min before you eat or you end up VERY full when it does kick in. i dont really have anything negative to say. if you over eat on a regular basis it seems like it would help to control that. but wont speed anything up if youre already healthy.

OK...I'm going to start this Monday. I will let you know just what I think about it. Be back in a few weeks...

for anyone who experiences a weight gain while taking it...if you've started to work out, you're going to increase muscle mass. Muscle weighs more than fat. Once the muscle increases, metabolism speeds up and fat is burned up. If you're still gaining weight, I'd look at your diet and make sure you aren't drinking too many calories from flavored waters and juices. That's a big mistake people make. Even drinking Vitamen Water...it's 125 calories per bottle. Yes it tastes great but it's extra calories you don't need.

I am 6'7" and in one week after taking Hydroxycut at 295 lbs., I have lost 10 pounds. It's a simple formula: eat more healthy, get a minimum of 30 min. per day cardio, and take this supplement. It works.

I'm 31 years old and I just started taking Hydroxycut to lose some stubborn belly fat. I'm not worried about the numbers on the scale as I am working to build muscle. Hydroxycut won't burn muscle like it does fat, right?
