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.

Started using it a few days ago and walk 1 mile per day. My goal is to loose 15-20 pounds. The only side effects experienced is more bowel movement, which is good.
I am 140 lb's and been on hydroxy max for 3 days and lost 4 lb's I personaly like hydroxy max. I would recomend it to anyone.
i used hydroxycut on and off since last year, and honestly its a joke. Its not helped me what so ever and i work my ass off every day.
I've been taking it for a week now. The first night I did feel side effects. I couldn't sleep because I felt so hot. I woke up many times to get some water. But that was only the first night. Now I love it. I feel with more energy. I think I am loosing weight since I can fit in my jeans again.
I have been taking hydroxycut max for women for about a month now, they make you feel jittery, give you headaches and I feel bloated all the time since taking them. My clothes fit loose before taking this now everthing I wear fits tighter. I have not lost any weight while on them and I go to the gym at least 3 times a week and that doesn't even help. I do not recommend these.
it sucks
I am on my 7th day using the 7 day cleanse, and I must say, I have more energy than ever imagined. I've lost at least 5 pounds, and I feel absolutely great! Tomorrow I will begin the Hydroxycut pills. I will recommend to anyone who begins any "diet", to detox first in order to give your body a chance to get ready for the new alteration.
I've been using hydoxycut for 3 weeks. I like the energy that it gives me. I got headaches the first day or two. but it was nothing. i have already lost two inches of my waist. My boyfriend can see a difference.I highly reccommend hydroxycut. i just cut my food portions in half,with hydroxycut i feel full all the time.but,thirsty all the time.
Today Only I started this. I am sure this will work. My weight is 201lbs and my height is 177cm. anybody can advice me for diet,
can someone tell me if i can take hydroxycut with muscektech's anator since i have it...or it will be a disaster for my body
I have been taking this since last Sunday. As of this morning I have lost 8lbs. I have had jitters, headache and a floaty feeling. all of which seems to go away after about 45 min. of taking it. I have not excerised other than running and playing with the children I work with. So far so good. I need to loose about 50 more lbs. I guess I will see what next week brings, hopefully 8 more shed.
I used this for about 3 weeks and I lost 19 lbs. From 140 to 121 lbs!!!! Excersise & Diet works but think about those skinny people who eats lot. They metabolises fast so they still get to be skinny. Hydroxicut fastens your metabolism and gives you energy to burn them. I still crave for food but I can control it just keep in mind that the more you eat, the longer you have to work out in the gym.. =)
I am going to get me a bottle today and, the no caffiene kind. I will post to let you all know how it goes.
I bought it a week ago. I like the results, but hate the side effects. Like everything else, it comes with a price. I've lost 5lbs in one week and plan on loosing 15-20lbs more to get me to my ideal weight. Side effects include a funny feeling in my throat and chest at times and lightheadedness, if I don't eat. It definitely curbs my appetite, but you have to eat to maintain sufficient caloric intake. Exercizing does make me feel better. I haven't experience the headaches and hope not to. I do hope the funny feelings in my throat and chest eventually goes away. So far, I'm skeptial and hope it works without paying a dare cost.
I'll believe it when I see it.
I have been taking this since Monday. It's now Thursday. I decided to try it because I have been dieting with Weight Watchers since October 2008. Weight Watchers works great but I hit my plateau and have been stuck for a month and a half at the same weight and still stand to lose 10 to 15 lbs to be at my goal weight.
I haven't had any of the side effects of jitters, headaches, sleeplessness... I eat within the 30-60 minutes after taking it, and drink 8 oz when I take it. Obviously already on a low-cal diet with Weight Watchers, and I workout regularly.
If this pill works like it says it does, I will see results and it wont be the placebo effect, since my diet and working out were in effect before I started taking this. Haven't weighed myself yet, I don't want to be a slave to the scale.
Will update here if I like it or don't.
i am 18 years old and i got hydroxycut two days ago and start taking them yesterday and already lost about 5 pounds i was really happy to see the results in just two days.
55 year old male started taking it two weeks ago and have lost 7 lbs. Now get this, no exercise other than walking a lot at work. Had sleeping problems the first few days and bought a bottle of the no caffeine to take with the dinner dose. Sleeping problem solved. Am starting three times a week cardio workout. Will let you know if that kick starts more weightloss. Maybe placebo effect, but it seems to have cut my appetite. If it's placebo though, who cares, it's working
