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.

I've never tried Phentirmine but Hydroxycut does make your heart race & gives you side effects. I haven't had any side effects that bad ,but it's diff. for everyone. Some people can't take Hydroxycut bcus it's too strong for them but other's don't get side effects.

I am wondering if any of you have taken the prescription diet pill Phentermine? And if so, how is Hydroxycut in comparison? Phentermine made my heart race and it did not work for me. I want to try Hydroxycut but do not want the same side effects that I experienced with the Phentermine. Thanks!

I also feel hungry once I take them. I take it 2 pills 3 times a day. I do have more energy

I have taken it before, but experiences dizziness and shakiness, loss of sleep. That was over a year ago. I am trying it again and have noticed that I really don't feel that hungry. I am caffinated for sure but I think that will help me excercise now. I like it better the second time around. My concern is that when I don't eat my body will begin to store fat. Anybody on my same thought train?

I have only been taking Hydroxycut for 9 days, but I have lost 3 lbs already. I am dieting (only eating fruits, vegies, lean meats, etc), but haven't exercised at all yet. I definitely noticed a difference in the sugar cravings....they aren't there anymore. I used to drink at least 2 cans of Mt. Dew a day and some chocolate. I now only have an 8 oz. can in the morning...couldn't completely give it up :) I do have to admit I feel nauseous at times, but I figure that will eventually go away.

Well tomorrow will be 1week, I must agree on the sugar cravings are totally gone and I'm not really hungry so I don't snack as much. This week I have to start exercising, and then I'm sure I'll start dropping lbs.

I started Hydroxi Cut 2 days ago and I have noticed that I have already lost 2 lbs. This product is helping me not want sugar. I am a chocolate and soda fonatic and I have not had either in 2 days! I started excercising today and am trying to find the right diet for me. I have 3 kids, go to school full time and work full time, so lossing weight will help me boost my self esteem. I weighed 125 before kids and now weigh 181. My goal is to go to at least 135. Ill keep you up to date on my progress.
