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.

You all need to get off that bandwagon. Coffee with Caffein, and Cranberry juice is natural Dieuretics that hydroxicut releases. If you want to get trim eat small meals per day, at least 4 - 5. Include eggs, fish, oatmeal, sweet potatoes. You also need cardio. Eating small meals, and 10 mins cardio (treadmill running) at 6 speed, I went from 223 to 206 in 2 weeks.
Well, just wondering about persciption meds, is anyone else on and taking HC? Would like to know. Have 4 kids and continue to gain weight, becoming depressed. Help!!
I tried Alli and it didnt work too well. I lost 3 pounds in 4 weeks and I ate healthy and exercised 60 mins 5 times a week. So I'm going to try Hyrdroxycut max for women. My friend lost 20 pounds I'm hoping it will do the same for me.

I started taking Hydroxycut and b-12 vitamins 2 days ago: 7/28/2008 I am eating 1 egg in the morning and 10oz of chicken throughout the day.......I take 2 hc a day and a total of 1500 mg of B-12, i and 5'6 and 145lbs. and i want to lose 20-25lbs. and suggestions on how long this will take, i'm 18?????????Thank You
I started Hydroxycut yesterday 07/28/2008 at 177.8 lbs, 5 feet 3' inches tall, at this time, no side effects, no headache, today is my second day on the gym, I will keep you post
hey, i started hydroxycut today, so i'm just here to tell you about my intial thoughts on it. First of all, the problem i have (i'm sure like many others) is not my physical activity but my eating, i can control my self for maybe a week max and then i lose it. So far, i haven't felt the urge to eat much, even if i think about some of my favourite foods (just to test my self) i feel nothing. I do feel a little more energized, and considering i havent slept much the past few days, i feel pretty good. I did feel a little nausea, and maybe a little light headed when i took my first pill, but it was pretty mild, nothing to worry about. I'm looking to start at 3/day and depending how i feel i may increase that a little. I'll post again in a few days.
I just started this stuff yesterday, so it's been too soon to see any weight results, but I think I've been on it long enough to point out a couple things. FIRST, it really DOES control my appetite. For example, today I took it in the morning and then for lunch I made a plain turkey sandwich. I thought "I'll make it smaller today." in anticipation of how easily I get full on this stuff. Even with the smaller sandwich, I had to wrap up the last 1/3 of it to eat later. Pretty impressive there. SECOND, I normally take in a fair amount of caffeine. I don't drink coffee but I drink a large Rockstar energy drink throughout the course of the day. I stopped anything with caffeine when I started this stuff, and I'm still slightly light-headed and very mildly speeded out. And that's coming from an admitted caffeine addict. That's a concern for people to keep in mind, but at least they have the caffeine-free version. I may switch to that when I finish this bottle. It's too expensive to toss out and replace just yet.
Started hydroxycut hardcore 3 weeks ago. I have lost 13 lbs. The secret is eating Quaker heart smart blueberry oatmeal for breakfast before taking. Try it it is working great for me and no side effects with oatmeal. Try taking second before you leave work, taking after you get home may effect your sleeping. If you plan to drink alcohol that night do not take in pm. Good luck to all..
i have been taking this for like 2 months and i'm having "going to the bathroom issues" because i'm eating too much fiber. i've mixed the hydroxycut with the south beach diet but it's not that good of an idea ---- more friuts and veggies and not processed foods will be most beneficial to this diet. i started hydroxycut earlier this year just for a month and lost 20 pounds. i'm back at it again and i'm on my 2nd month. i'm taking 2 pills twice a day but my middle of the day dosage is 3 pills just for an extra kick. i'm in the military so it is CRUCIAL for me to be within height and weight standards... i love hydroxtcut it works great!
im 5'3 and weigh 137.. i have been trying to lose weight for a long time now and i just cant seem too. i exersise regularly and eat good. im starting hydroxy tommorow and will let everyone know!
Well its been a couple of weeks since i started taking hc and it has really helped with my appetite. Ihave gone frome 231 to 222.6 and feel great with tons of energy. Its workin on me...good luck everybody.
I am 31 yrs old 6'3 eating healthy and drinking lots of water. I take two HC pills one morning and one in the afternoon I have lost 60 lbs in just 3 months. I was burning 30k calories a month by walking and swiming. This stuff really works just make sure when u get urge to eat just fill your self with water before you eat...I went down from 310 to 250 lbs...will try to loose another 50 by the end of the year....
Well, i just wanted to say that I stumbled upon this site the day I sent my bf to go buy this for me, that was one week ago today, well i read the reviews and picked the good from the bad, what i didnt like and still dont, are all the fake people on here, thats what will mess you up, on another site one guy clamed to lose 82lbs on hc, and left his e-mail if any questions, so i e-mailed him waiting for the real deal, but NOPE! it was just someone trying to sell the stuff lol anyway I started at 256.6lbs tonite I am at 249.4 lbs so I lost some weight like 7 lbs in a week, but i did drink alot of water and cut my cals way down,,,, what I didnt like was how tired I got , I would set my alarm at 6:30 am to take it and sleep till noon, I had no energy, when i did work out I got really dizzy lightheaded and drained, and I was just on the treadmill walking for 30 min. so I didnt like that, todat though I didnt take them and had real coffee, i had more energy then I was but am still down. all in all did it work, Yes for the hunger part it really made me feel not that hungry....... hope this helps,
i just started hydroxycut,i've been on it for four days now,,i will be weighting myself to see if it does,,,if it don't i will let everybody know
Arty. you are full of crap. i have been doing regular exercise and cardio for some time. I added hyrdoxycut to my regular routine and have lost 6 to 7 lbs.
Hydroxycut doesnt acually do anything... When you take Hydroxycut they require you to change your lifestyle and eat good food and drink 10 glasses of water a day. And not to mention they tell you to exercise. The thing that is burning fat is you exercising and living a healthy lifestyle not the pills your taking... So do yourself a favor and save hundereds of dollars and just go work out and eat healthy instead of wasting time taking a "Miracle Pill" that does absolutely nothing.
