Hydroxycut Recall after FDA Warning to Stop Using the Diet Pill
Once making headlines for containing a controversial herb, Ephedra, banned by the FDA, Hydroxycut now offers an Ephedra-free product that claims to increase metabolism and energy while curbing your appetite, cutting calories and maintaining blood sugar.
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 have been taking hydroxycut for 3 1/2 months and have lost 32lbs. It works! I go to the gym 4 days a week and drink nothing but water. I do 1 hour of cardio and do 2 days of weight lifting. My goal is 60lbs and I know that I will accomplish it! I can't wait till I reach my gaol. I am so excited!

I love this product! I gained weight all through college, so I figured that I was going to continue gaining weight. But, then I began taking hydroxycut about 6 months ago. I have done nothing different to my diet or exercise regimen, but I have lost 27 pounds. I could not believe it...I still don't believe it. All of my clothes fit wonderfully and I guess the scales don't lie.

I just started taking this. I am taking two and will graduate to 3 but I can't do more because it will effect my sleep. So I will continue with just one dose a day in the AM before a workout. I do major cardio after I take it and I notice I have more energy to go longer. I also don't get very hungry and am eating far less. I also notice that if I use the steam room for 20 min after the workout it helps me to sleep later.

Clearly if daryl is so thin and fit...why is he on this site? And since none of us are nearly as smart as him, I want to add that clearly if you are here at this site, you are looking for tools to help you, which is a positive thing in any diet adventure. Negativity is what seperates those who are overweight and out of shape from those who are fat and miserable.

Since many of you people are clearly not very bright, please allow me to try to help.
posted Dec 31st, 2008 1:50 pmNotice that the instructions say to use this product along with diet and exercise? Do you know why? Because the only way to lose weight is through diet and exercise. It is really just that simple. The product itself is completely useless.
So here is my fool-proof diet plan for all of you, free of charge:
1) Get off of your more frequently than just for trips to the refrigerator.
2) Walk away from the dinner table after one helping, and try to pass on dessert once in a while.
You're welcome.
Happy New Year.
fabulous

Ive been taking this product for a few weeks and have noticed the difference! And as a correction to the review, they do have excercise and nutritional help on the website. they have recipes, workout guides and info about the correct ways to work out & eat healthy. I have found the combo of help with nutrition and the actual pills to be extremely helpful! i would reccoment it!

OK--I am overseas in Iraq--you wouldn't think you could gain weight in the Sahara Desert but you actually do. It's the DFACs--three meals a day--nonstop work, and no time for breaks. Well--I switched jobs over here, I am actually working for a company that promotes exercising. Right now I am the only one in the office NOT dieting. I bought the HC pills about two months ago in Kuwait--but never used them or started exercising. My plan is to start the new year right with a resolution to get in shape, lose weight, and become healthier. I just turned 39 on December 27 and have noticed the weight I gained and so does everyone else. So let's see what happens. I know I have to change something--I know what I have been doing is not healthy. It's like I am planning my own cardiac arrest. Well...pray for me and I will do the same. Either way...something is going to change.

Hydroxycut works. My husband and I use it. A person with high blood pressure or diabetes in their family history should consult with their physician before taking this weight loss drug. It can have adverse reactions to certain individuals. Eat sensibly, drink lots of water and exercise for great results.
