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.

I've had a great experience. I've been taking Hydroxycut for about three weeks now. I started with the "energy shots" and the moved to the pills. It basically just kills all my hunger. The first few times I took it, it felt like I had drank a lot of coffee, but now I can't feel any side effects. I think its important that you ease yourself into it (as the bottle directs you to). I've lost a lot of fat and retained muscle. I'm very happy!
Awesome used it one week im a full time college student and a full time worker. i was really down on energy from work and school and if i did work out i was not benefitting from weak workouts. Im the week i have dropped 8 pounds and it really has controled my appetite which was my big problem and i got a headache the first couple of days but after that i been awesome more energy than i had in highschool when i had no responsibilty. Also i bought the target one and it was only $17 bucks
I have been on this for 2 years now. Lost all the weight I wanted in the beginning and now use it to keep it down. I eat well and exercise a few times a week... No bad headaches. No tiolet issues like some say. My forst day is always a bit rough in the sense that I feel over charged... but fine. I take a week off every month to clear my system then get back on. Good stuff... Won't try anything else
the side effects from this drug are a nightmare!! My Headaches were so intense, i thought about going to the hospital. I almost lost my boyfriend, because i was so grumpy, and mood swingy, and not myself. I had tremors in my hands. I cant exercise because if i do anything phsically demanding my heart rate goes crazy high, and i feel faint. I haven't taken the pills in 3 days and my symptoms have not improved, i am afraid for my health. AVOID THIS DRUG... IT IS SCARY!!!!
i'm only 24 and i was just trying to lose 10 pounds...
It's awful. and doesnt make any sense. Just exercise and eat healthy and you get the same result. Why do you guys think you can come up with random ideas and expect to get a lot of money and be rich. You guys are lying, so what ever happend to customer satisfaction and being truthful to the customer.
I dont like it at all. It's pointless. I could save my money, please my wallet, exercise, and eat healthy without popping pills and get the exact same results yo.
Just started 2 days ago with powder packs.I wnet out today and got pills.The powder was too inconvenient to remember if you were out somewhere and needed to take it cause you would have to down the 16 ounces of water 1 hour before.With the capsules you take it 30-60 before.
Side effects..little whoozy feeling, kinda almost like a buzz.Not too bad though.I have about 40 pounds to lose and diet and working out isnt doing anything good.
Today is the first day for me taking hydroxycut pills and so far no bad side effects. I found that I had more energy when I worked out and I found Im also in a better mood.. I hope this works out for me in the long run. I have about 30-35 pounds to lose by June. So Im wishing the best and trying my hardest with everything between eating healthy and staying active.. And I want to say the best of luck to everyone pushing to lose weight and being healthy, it will pay of in the long run... GOOD LUCK !!!!
I started hydrycut at the end of October because I wanted to loose 10lbs. I use the drink formula where you put it into your water. I lost 10lbs in 2 months and have kept it off. I excerise 3x's a week, wether it's at the gym or just a 30 min. walk. I lost 2 1/2 inches in my thighs. I still use it today to maintain my weight.
I started taking hydroxycut almost a month ago. I don't use a scale so I don't really know how much weight I have lost, but my husband says that he sees a diffrence. I used to drink a lot of soda and caffeine, so I didn't get the same side effects many other people do. It does make my stomach feel really funny if I miss one.
I've been drinking a lot more water, and excersising a lot more.
I don't think this pill really does anything, they just make you pay tons of money to just get a lot of caffeine in your system then leaves you to do all the work with diet and excersise. It would probably be better off if you save your money and diet and excersise alone. I am sure you would get the same results.
Well i really dont know where to begin, umm im 20 years old and i just has a baby boy abot 8 months ago (my first child) now before i had gotten pregnant i weighed 114lbs and im 5`2 ...i was pretty skinny and looking quite good.....my weight today is 155. i look horrible... i truly hate myself.....i have never really been a big "eater" yet i used to be able to eat whatever i want when i want and not gain a pound.....now i eat a piece of bread and the next day i seem to be a pound heaver.....yet in my intire life i have never really exercised ever! im truly a lazy person when it comes to that. but about 2 weeks ago i started taking hydroxycut and so far i think i`ve lost like 2 measly pounds. and like 2 inches off of my weist.....yet i have NOT been working out at all...i have stopped drinking soda and started drinking tea instead...i really dont know where im going with this whole story but....i am going to continue to take the pills and hope for weight loss!
can i take hydoxicut hardcore while taking birth control pills?
I'm 5'7 205lbs. in one year hopefully I will take on amature body building status. Water is #1 no matter with what your are taking! If you use supplements , drink more water than what is stated. Cut carbs, eat protiens, and cut bread as much as possible. Its possible to get where you want . STAY FOCUSED an NEVER EVER GIVE UP !
I started yesterday and got on the scale this morning and already down 3 pounds...I climbed 11 flights of stairs yesterday 3x and felt great, stair climbing is a rigourous sport but def gets the heart pumping and burns an tremendous amount of calories. Im excited other than my tossing & turning of sleep last night:(..but i must say its a great boost to get started on your weight loss goal.
I bought hydroxycut four days ago and so far i believe i've lost 3 lbs. I eat healthy and workout. I quit drinking soda. And i cut out all the junk food and try eat small servings.
I was really overweight at 213 lbs. and 5'6" at 16 years old and would do anything to loose the weight, so i started using HHC and eating right and working out everyday sometimes even twice a day. I must say the results were amazing. NO JOKE I LOST 43 LBS. IN ABOUT 5 MONTHS. although it did work so well i did suffer the side effects. I felt jittery and couldnt sleep very well. I also started getting chest pains but went to the doctor and everything came back normal. I stoped using HHC because i was satisfied with the weight i was at. I was also happy to relize that once I stoped using HHC the side effects went away. Now I am 17 and I started it again 4 days ago so i could loose the extra 15-20 lbs. that I have left to loose. In those 4 days I have noticed that the side effects have returned, but i hope that once I stop again they will disappear along with my fat. wish me luck!
hydroxycut is the worst feeling i've ever felt! i threw away an entire bottle because i dont want to feel that ever again nor do i want anyone else to feel it. somebody actually asked me if i was rolling on ecstacy while i was on hydroxycut! and yes, i followed the directions. these pills should be illegal. i'm still sick. i also read a review that said a women's son has been in the hospital for 3 days do to this. don't take it
i started taking hydroxycut on monday 1 three times a day, at first i was jumpy and dizzy but after i worked out it went away, i've been on it for 3 day and lost 4lbs already i have been eating healthier and working out everyday as well ( i noticed when i work out i feel good on the pill instead of taking it and sitting down all day)this is a good product i'm hoping to lose 50lbs before the summer but i might stay at 3 pills a day instead of six.
I just turned 24, and i woke up one morning and was tired of the way i look. I purchased the pill, i started eating about 2 to 3 times a day nothing inbetween and nothing past 7 o'clock, and consumed only healthy food,. I also workout with Taebo, every morning, and try to run 1 mile every afternoon. This was very important to me since im currently in the army, I have to be physically fit. I started taking this pill last wednesday and it has been 1 week now and i have lost 17 pounds. I have a lot more energy to use up. It does make my heart race quicker, but that just makes me work out that much harder. I don t know if the pill caused me to loose the weight or exercising but i am happy. I did weigh 240 and now 233. And my mile run was at 8 min and now it is at almost 7. I do think that exercising had alot to do with this weight loss, but to the ones reading this exercise as much as u can i know that it is hard to find the energy but u have to it will not come to, trust me.
I tried Hydroxycut in 2003 and I was very happy with the results! Combined with a very strict diet -cut out alot of junks - it seemed like forever that my weight was stubborn. I started using Hydroxycut and within 8 weeks my weight fell off with lots of exercise. Its not a fad "lose weight while you sleep diet" it works best combined with regular exercise and proper eating habits! I am now trying the Hydroxycut Max for women diet pills
