there are alot of people arguing on this product that it may not work, and there is too many side effects, there are a few different reasons why, 1) everyones body reacts to EVERYTHING a different way, some people struggle to lose weight, some people get anxiety attacks from it, etc.... but in all actuality caffeine is 1 of the key ingredients in fat loss, green tea........has caffeine, every weight loss pill on the market wether it works or not, has caffeine in it, all the different hydroxcuts are different, i use the Hardcore hydroxycut, but i only recommend HC to people who have hit a plataeu in their weight loss, either way this pills not going to work if you sit on your butt all day, you need to diet and excercise............also u would think cardio is the greatest thing to burn weight the more you run the more you lose right? wrong!!! because your only recommended to use 75 to 80% of your heart rate because using more then that will give you now results cause once you hit over 80 percent, instead of burning fat, your heart is gonna be trying to keep the oxygen flowing and the heart pumping..........honestly you should really only use hydroxcut once you hit a plataeu (or however you spell that) in ur weight loss...........but in all actuality i recommend a good diet and excercise, if you are overweight start with diet.........i have lost over 30 pounds in 1 month on diet alone, pops, fruit juices with tons of sugar in them, sugar turns into stubborn fat, and stay away from as much as possible the trans and saturated fats which are the bad fats, and lean more on things like poly and monosaturated fats, which is the good fats.......this pill is not going to work for everyone, and there is a possibility that you may be jittery with the amount of caffeine, but its a proven fact caffeine helps you burn the fat.......and green tea is possibly one of the best natural ways to get it, untill you load it with sugar to sweeten it, diets huge key part in weight loss, try something, instead of drinking juice and pop, drink nothing but water for the next couple weeks, i lost 5-6 pounds just doing that, it may not work for everyone but just try it, then switch your eating habits, such as fibers in the morning which help reduce cholesterol and also help lose a little weight, oatmeal, cheerio's with the low sugar, whole wheat breads, cause your other breads contain a decent amount of sugar as well, boiled eggs is a great source of protein, and also key in building muscle, which for people who dont know fat turns into muscle which is why excercising with weights also helps you lose alot of muscle, but i used to be 252 pounds and only a month and a half later before even using hydroxycut, i currently weight 215 pounds, get a notepad and write down what you eat everyday, and when you go to your doctor for anything or just your yearly checkup, show him your list and let him guide you from there, im sorry for this long long review, i hope this helped clear up a little misunderstanding, and also sorry for repeating myself if i did at anytime in this story, and for those who overweight do not pay attention to your scale or BMI, cause looking at your scale can make you lose bigtime motivation and make you not wanna follow through with your workouts, and BMI is inaccurate going by your weight age and height, because if your a solid mass type of person (muscle weighs more then fat) your BMI is going to be high and therefore being obese, or if your older or have less muscle mass and more fat, then your BMI will tell you your underweight, best way to measure BMI is the skinfold technique by pulling your extra skin and using calipers to measure it, but most people do not know this way of calculating which could also lead to inaccuracy, but those looking to lose weight and get energy, eat a healthy breakfast and excercise is the best way for energy boosting and loosing weight the good ol' Natural way
If caffeine doesn't have a big effect on you, chances are this pill won't affect you. I took them for a few days and felt absolutely nothing. Then again, I could drink coffee and go straight to bed. So unless you get some kind of energy boost from caffeine, don't waste your money.
I'm 19 years old, male, 165lbs at 5'8". I'm pretty muscular and only have 13% BMI (Body Mass Index - in other words, 13% of my weight is body fat) which is lower than average. My goal is to drop my BMI to 9% (think olympic swimmer) to get better muscle definition.
Today was my first day, i took 4 tablets (they recommend 3 per day for the first few days). I took one at breakfast, two at lunch, and one at dinner. I had NO side effects whatsoever. My parents love coffee, so I've grown up with the caffeine. Even when I took two at lunch I felt very little caffeine kick. The caffeine is what causes the bad side effects in some users.
My recommendation is go to a coffee shop and ask for a "Triple Americano" it is basically three cups of coffee in one. I get about the same kick from a triple americano as I did when I took the two pills. So, if you can handle the Triple Americano, then go get HydroxyCut. Yes, HC is expensive, but now you don't have to buy a coffee everyday so it works out.
I refuse to weigh myself cause i have pissed so much today that I know I have lost weight, but its only urine. I am going to judge my results by comparing photographs. I will check back in a week and let you guys know.
I began using Hydroxycut instant drink packets almost two weeks ago. I have already lost 10lbs. I am 5'8 and weigh 284. I have a lot of weight to loose. I also purchased a stationary bike at home and began using that every morning... but I don't believe the bike alone has sparked such a decrease in weight so quickly. The instant drink mix also curves my appetite. I drink three times a day 30 minutes before I eat. I cut out junk food as well. Hopefully I can continue my weight loss journey. Only thing Hydroxycut can be a bit pricey. Good luck to all who try it.
i just started this a few days ago i feed very energized but i dont know how much i should exersise and how strick should my diet be any suggestions??
They insist you reduce your calories and exerciese. In that case, YOU DON'T NEED THE DAMN PILL, you morons!
I have been using hydroxycut for 8 days now and I can definitely tell that it works. I am 5' 11" 205 with about 11% body fat and just want to get some more definition before beach season. Before in the spring I would just run every day and stop eating pizza. This year I got sort of a late start, so decided to buy some of this stuff to help me out. After just the 8 days I can already see a difference looking in the mirror. My energy level is great even though I am eating less, and more lean foods. I have never really tried any other weight loss supplements, but I am behind hydroxycut 100%.
Also, I think that people may feel jittery because 2 pills might be a lot for someone who weighs 135 lbs.
It makes me all juttery to ,and i dont like that feeling that way . Will it go away after a while?
Is it possible to get a placebo instead of the real product? I hear it makes you jittery or keeps you awake and is supposed to curb appetitie, but none of those things are happening to me. I also have not lost any weight yet (used it for one week) I know the bottle says to use it for 8 weeks, but some say they lost weight in one week. I am 5'8 and right now weigh like 135. Just wondering if I should be more patient.
I have used Hydroxycut Hardcore on and off for the past 8 months or so. It works great- I lost alot of stubborn fat. Neg- leaves me jittery and anxious sometimes. Also affect my sleep pattern. I think I will try the caffeine free version.
I decided to use Hydroxycut Caffeine free because my 20 year HS reunion is in 7 months. So far, little difference. I do notice I am not as hungry, but I don't know if it's the pills or all the wate I'm drinking. I've read the mixed reviews and was hoping I could be one of the thumbs up. The ones who commented thumbs up, did they REALLY work? Would you suggest taking the regular one?

I have a question.
What if you are anorexic, will the hydroxycut drink packages work?
It is because I want to eat healthy again, but worried about weight (not start eating again atleast until april 4--a special day).
Without eating, I lose 2 pounds a day.
But with this product, will it speed up?
I want to be 100 pounds again.
(128 pounds, about 160 cm)
It's hard, please tell me; the "special" day's coming up in a week, and I want to know if it works soon!
(I hate no energy)
hey I have some quesions for anybody, does it matter if I break the pill in half then take the two because i am not a pill person, so it is kinda hard to swollow it whole like that. I bought HC a couple of days ago and i plan on taking it 2morrow. I just need to know.
Im 28 male and my Height 5'3
Weight is 166 lbs and I install my first Hydroxycut Hardcore yesterday and I loss 5lbs by runnning to treadmill 15.5kph for 35min and Back work out. My advise before taking Hydroxycut, 1 week before taking the pill try to take coffee without sugar so your body can easily adopt the pill. I didn't encounter ANY side effects any pain. Well goodluck to all of us. I'll get back to you soon guy's in my updates using this powerfull pill... Hydroxycut HARDCORE!
Started using it a few days ago and walk 1 mile per day. My goal is to loose 15-20 pounds. The only side effects experienced is more bowel movement, which is good.
I am 140 lb's and been on hydroxy max for 3 days and lost 4 lb's I personaly like hydroxy max. I would recomend it to anyone.
i used hydroxycut on and off since last year, and honestly its a joke. Its not helped me what so ever and i work my ass off every day.
I've been taking it for a week now. The first night I did feel side effects. I couldn't sleep because I felt so hot. I woke up many times to get some water. But that was only the first night. Now I love it. I feel with more energy. I think I am loosing weight since I can fit in my jeans again.
I have been taking hydroxycut max for women for about a month now, they make you feel jittery, give you headaches and I feel bloated all the time since taking them. My clothes fit loose before taking this now everthing I wear fits tighter. I have not lost any weight while on them and I go to the gym at least 3 times a week and that doesn't even help. I do not recommend these.
it sucks
