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 been using Hydoxycut for about 4 days now, and i personally feel like i've been eating right and exercising daily, but i have yet to see any results. I know it's all about patients and dedication, and it'll pay off. I'll definitely try IT for the eight weeks, but WHEN AM I GOING TO SEE SOME RESULTS?
What Crap these tablets are. Took the recommended dose for 2.5 weeks and felt like I was going to die! Had all the symptons listed! A rapid heart rate (tachycardia) Rapid breathing or difficulty breathing Anxiety or agitation An irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia) Feelings of a rapidly or forcefully beating heart (known as heart palpitations) Signs of an allergic reaction, including an unexplained rash, hives, itching, unexplained swelling, wheezing, difficulty breathing and swallowing. Bloating I should of done a lot more research I actually put on 4 kilogram (bloat) My heart tis still pounding I am very light headed I look like crap I have massive sweaty palms I have a boil on my back I have bad dreams at night and wake up in the middle of the night Its been seven (7) days since I stopped taking the crap - yet my symptoms have not completely gone away. The symptoms come and go in cycles (highs and low) Looks like I will have to go to my Doctor next week if the symptom do not start going away faster. My immediate advice is to STOP TAKING THE CRAP NOW!!!!
I think Hydroxycut works also! I take it before going to the gym and seriously feel the intensity in my workout. I've lost about 10 pounds and have noticed the toning in my body after only a month!
I tried hydroxycut and got no benefits from it. The only people who see results using this product are those who include diet and strict exercise regimen. I doubt the results have anything to do with hydroxycut.
I just played Wii Fit and ate McDonalds for a few months and lost 40 pounds. I believe that's enough for me to know that in many cases, just working out and keeping active, even just a little, will make all the difference. I seriously eat pretty bad (McDonalds), but I drink teas and water mostly, so that might have an effect. I do at least a light 30 minute work out every day using this Nintendo Wii Fit game and sometimes lift a few dumbbells. I am in the best shape of my life while making no change in diet or taking any pills. I think that before trying Hydroxycut or any other thing that involves changing your body using chemicals or pills, people should try working out first before anything. It's really that simple. And just going outside and running is free, as opposed to buying a product. Just saying.
I JUST STARTED ON MY JOURNEY TODAY WITH HYDROXYCUT. I AM GOING TO TAKE THE 2 PILLS 3 TIMES A DAY ONE AT BREAKFAST ONE AT LUNCH AND ONE AT NIGHT..AND I HAVE JOINED MY GYM AT WORK SO I WILL BE WORKING OUT HOPEFULLY 7 DAYS A WEEK AND WALKING WITH ONE OF BEST FRIENDS WISH ME LUCK I WEIGHED MYSELF TODAY SO HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE A CHANGE:)
I just started taking Hydroxycut today, I already have the energy I need to go workout after an 8-5 regular day at work, I'm so excited, hope to see results like the rest of you!
i've been taking it for a week, and ive lost 10 lbs without even working out, im gonna start doing a little cardio and see what happens, my appetite has gone down though
i used be 175 pounds but ihad to bulk up for football and i went up to 205 and im down at 195 ever since ive been taking it (a week ago), and i was wondering does it cut fat off strictly too your body or does it also trim your face down to
Started taking 1 in the morning, and it works well as an appetite suppressant. I've lost 6 pounds in a couple of weeks without much change in diet. First 6 is easy, I'll have to start exercising more to get rid of more. Getting rid of soda (diet soda too) is a big help! Water or Tea only!
I've been using Hydroxycut for more than 1 month now, I do the exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet, though I did not loss any weight since I started. However, I am using AMINO acid supplements also. Is this the reason why, I didnt loss weight?
I started taking the full six pills the first day and I'll have to admit it was probably not the most brilliant idea. I was really edgy with all the energy, especially since I was stuck at work, not being able to move much. But after about two days my body returned semi back to normal, besides of course the weight loss and energy. I love it. I can't wait to see how it does with a full a month. I would definitely recommend it to someone whose willing to commit to a healthy lifestyle.
Im scared to use this
It does work, if you take the ones with cafine, the white pill, the yellow ones work slower. i take two whi in the morning and i zoom to the afternoon, lunch eat something small take two more pills after work do a hr work out at the gym like walking and a small dinner no mor pills or you wont sleep. it works
does it cause stomaches and diarrhea more often than people are admitting to? that'd be embarrassing if i'm in class. also i'm going to start with one before each meal...good idea or not?
Hydroxy Cut made my nipples permanently erect. They open doors for me now.
ive already lost 5 lbs and i havent been on this schedule for a week yet. it will be a week tomorrow. Im pretty sure that the results wouldnt be so fast with just diet and exercise....i put on jeans i just got out of the dryer this morning and i had no struggle...its usually a little hard. i was happy :) i think im just a little tighter not necessarily lighter.
I'm back :) After one bottle, I've lost about 7 lbs...so I definately think it was worth the $20! I'm trying another brand now to compare effectiveness.
hydroxycut works u have to work out or do something to stay in shape and just eat healthy i have been takin it and so has my cosine it shreds the fat really fast im started with the caffeine free ones and moved on do the hardcore and its doing some amazing work for me i am happy with it and i am going to continue to use it i feel good and i am more cut up then i have ever been
