Hydroxycut® belongs to a class of holistic weight loss supplements which are geared almost exclusively toward enabling the body to burn more fat. It contains some of the following: Caffeine, Green Tea, Guarana and Garcinia Cambogia Extract. Hydroxycut® has become very popular among some people, because most of us struggle with increasing our metabolism enough to lose weight. Interestingly, our findings show that customer reviews have been rather mixed, somewhat due to some of the side effects associated with Hydroxycut®, such as increased heat rate, elevated blood pressure, dizziness, blurred vision, hyperactivity and acne.

HoodiaP57 - Pure 20X Strength Certified Hoodia
This product is simply as good as Hoodia gets. It is 100% certified, pure Hoodia from South Africa. It also boasts 20X the strength. If any Hoodia product is going to suppress appetite, this is the one. We also like that HoodiaP57 contains nothing else except pure Hoodia -- no fillers and no stimulants. This means it is safe to take whenever you want – including close to bed time. There are hundreds of Hoodia products on the market now, but we don’t even bother to list them on this site, because 99% of them are just cheap imitation Hoodia that is not even from South Africa, where the P57 molecule is the most effective. We chose HoodiaP57 to be on DietBlogTalk because it is of the utmost quality. The maker even includes a certificate of origin from the South African government stating the Hoodia originates from there. This product has nearly a perfect ‘Thumbs Up’ score. Check this one out.

Slim10® - 10 Patented, Proven Ingredients - 1 Pill
Slim 10® has hit the marketplace with a huge bang. This is the first and only weight loss pill ever made that has combined 10 different patented, clinically proven effective ingredients. And to top it off, they added 500mg of pure South African Hoodia in a 20X potency to every serving. This pill is pure weight loss science. In fact, with this many award-winning ingredients in one capsule, we don’t see how anyone could not lose weight by taking it. Each of these effective ingredients is standardized so you always get a product you can count on, and they all have not just one, but several clinical studies backing their claims. The Slim 10® customers say it all—check out these enthusiastic postings on the blog. In fact, Slim 10® is on par with the best diet pills around like Nuphedrine® and HoodiaP57®. Nuphedrine is definitely the strongest of the three pills on metabolism boosting, and HoodiaP57 is the best for just pure appetite suppression, but Slim 10® is the most balanced of all of them in terms of a variety of 100% clinically proven and patented ingredients. The truth is, it really just depends on what pill is best for the consumer—some will do better with Nuphedrine, others with HoodiaP57, and of course some with Slim10®. We can definitely say that you can’t go wrong with Slim 10® in terms of losing weight. Read a full Slim 10 Review Here.

The really amazing part is that most of their customers come from word of mouth, and it is quickly becoming one of the most popular diet products available. The maker of Miracleburn® doesn’t spend tens of millions on advertising like alli®, Hydroxycut® or Curvelle to hype their product. They simply let their satisfied customers virtually do the marketing for them. We suggest reading through the postings. The formula consists of a quality form of Hoodia, combined with the patented metabolism booster, Advantra-Z®. It also has several other balancing secondary ingredients. Part of what makes their product such an effective crowd-pleaser is the manufacturing technique and perfect balance of ingredients. Read a full MiracleBurn Review Here.

HoodiaBites
This product is just what it sounds like - chewable Hoodia pieces. The good news is that they actually use a superior quality form of Hoodia, and it works. In fact, this is probably the fastest way to feel Hoodia, because when you eat it, it digests so much quicker. In fact, most customers report that it works in minutes not hours like traditional capsules. The chewable pieces are very much like a piece of taffy and taste good. They kick in faster than a quality Hoodia pill, and definitely do the trick. They are only a few calories per piece, and may be taken safely throughout the day. This is a good product to use by itself or in conjunction with another diet pill/program. Hoodia Bites are well liked by the customers – the blogs score well. Read a full HoodiaBites Review Here.

Slimaluma™
(U.S. Patent 7,060,308) -- We found that this ingredient is proven to drastically suppress the appetite. When you’re hungry, the hypothalamus tells the brain that food is needed. And when the stomach is full, the hypothalamus tells the brain to stop eating. Slimaluma™ sends a signal to the hypothalamus telling the brain that your stomach is full, which helps people eat much less. The customers speak highly of Slimaluma™ -- but it needs to be used in a supportive diet capsule with other essential ingredients. The consumer response has been especially high on this ingredient and products that include it. Read a full Slimaluma Review Here.

Amanda, Columbus OH: Really, I don't know what all the fuss is about this product. Hydroxycut didn't do anything good for me and my diet. I wouldn't say I hated it or anything, but I was not impressed.

Noreen: This was supposed to be fast and easy, so the ad said...I didn't think that was the case, at least not for me. Hydroxycut only gave me headaches.

SalsaGirl82: This just made me feel entirely too sped-up and icky...too much caffeine!

margaret benson: Oh my goodness, this Hydroxycut formula has an awful lot of caffeine in it. I enjoy my afternoon tea but the boost i get from this is just a little overpowering and makes me feel dizzy.

K.C.: I guess I expected this to have more of an impact in terms of reducing my appetite. It did NOT, i ate as much as ever & did not loose weight.

Sue: Since this doesn't have Ephedra in it, I might be willing to try the formula. But, I'm curious if Hydroxycut can curb hunger, like it says it does?

Brenda: I'd tried Hydroxycut like 10 yrs ago and it worked a lot better back then. Now, it's not even like the same product anymore. It's WEAK.

Jonesy68: Cannot use this...I am not willing to give up my coffee, and when I took Hydroxycut, I didn't sleep for a week. I am sure there is some other way to boost my metabolism without extra caffeine.

Elaine: Hydroxycut cost $79.98 & all it did was make me sick. Waste of $$.

Marguerite: Can U get liposuction on ur arms? THat's what I need.

Liv: The website goes into great detail about how great these ingredients are, but I don't see proof anywhere else, only some statements from people trying to sell Hydroxycut. And from my own experience, it's all just basic stuff, nothing particularly special about this formula.

Karla: I wish i'd been able to sample hydroxycut before spending all that money. I feel kind of silly now, it hasn't worked at all.

Rosalie: They tell you to drink like 10 glasses of water every day while using Hydroxycut and it makes me feel reallly bloated i have to pee all the time. not fun.

Aidan: This may have a lot of caffeine or whatever but it still has natural extracts. That's still gotta be better than a rx drug or something, right? or am i wrong about that?

MsBean@aol.com: I liked what the website had to say about not going with a "fad" product, and choosing a diet you can maintain for life. That was before i bought the pill. I have to say it made me feel just terrible, nauseous and anxious. It also caused terrible insomnia for me. I don't think this is as healthy and reasonable as they made it sound, not at all.

erica: well i worked out hard and dieted and ate a fat-free diet and used hydroxycut and I still lost no weihgt. Actually i gained a couple pounds but my boyfreind tells me its muscle and not to worry. i still don't like it tho.

2LipPeters: being an avid runner, i tend to gain a lot of muscle in my glutes...is there something i can do to avoid this, does anyone know?

Malik: i read that the people who make this were sued for FALSE ADVERTISING a few years back! Another bogus product.

CandyLane: All you people really need to know is, Hydroxycut does NOT work!!

HTCain: Somebody asked whether or not this would suppress hunger, and when I used Hydroxycut, I still had a lot of cravings. I was not thrilled with the results from it, I thought it was pretty useless.

Genevieve: I'm a teacher, and I have to monitor a classroom full of behaviorally-challenged 3rd graders. Drinking the ridiculous volume of water required with Hydroxycut is simply not realistic for me. I'd be leaving my classroom to go to the restroom all day long.

Wes_005: Hydroxycut ain't so bad, I don't think. I lost about 2 lbs so far, been using it for 2 weeks. It gets me to the gym and I been working out a lot mor e than before.

apriljane@hotmail.com: Hydroxycut SUCKS since the Ephedra ban. If you think your getting the same product when you buy it today, you will be very disappointed. Without the ephedra its nothing.

julia: Well, I'm gonna admit that I never actually bought this...I took one look at the website and said, no thanks. Those people in the pictures look totally fake, there's no way they got that way with Hydroxycut.

BULL: Got this stuff looking for a way to burn more calories. Saw it on shelf at the CVS, i think it was. anyway, i didn't feel any difference at all.

Pyromania72@snip.net: Well, but Ephedra- free is a good thing, right? I know it can be damaging. But I do want a product that works well. What are the best ephedra free products?

Olivia J.: Hydroxycut didn't work to curb my cravings. I use HoodiaP57 now, www.hoodiap57.com/offer it has only pure Hoodia.

Shelby: Yeah I think if you are strict with your diet and exercise and everything you could get the same results without needing to use Hydroxycut. Seems like a waste, I don't want it.

meg: THis just had very negative affects on me, and i tried so hard to lose weight but could not. I also became dehydrated from it. This is toxic, in my opinion.

BreeZee3: Since Hydroxycut is so widely known, I guess maybe it could have some good things about it. Seems like it would benefit from Hoodia, though. I know that has been thoroughly studied for appetite suppression.

Tim G.: I thought hydroxycut was all right, it did give me some extra energy...i did have to scale it back at one point because it was causing a rapid heartbeat. but then i started to do better with it. no weight lost yet, but i know i am getting there.

BarrelOLaughs: HYDROXYCUT IS A TERRIBLE, INEFFECTIVE PRODUCT! IT'S JUST FULL OF CAFFEINE.

Anonymous: IS this the product with those irritating television ads? Cuz I stay away from things like that, too much of that "in your face" stuff. Just the name Hydroxycut sounds sorta threatening or something.

cindy: I read that Hydroxycut used some sort of "trick lighting" for their before and after pictures. I am really skeptical of this product.

Deeandra: OKAY we know, this can give you energy...but has anyone actually lost weight with Hydroxycut? Cuz I didn't, and I tried really hard for like 5 months.

Crumbs_valley: The hydroxycut pills are total crap.

hermione@comcast.net: HAHAHAH Hydroxycut does sound threatening...it's like halfway between having toxic chemicals spilled on you & being stabbed. Huh, I'm a little scared now.

BeckWD: If I couldve lost 15 lbs in 8 weeks, I would be happy with Hydroxycut...but I only lost 3! That was NOT acceptable to me, not for what I went through. I stopped after that.

Arthur A.: Has anyone tried the caffeine-free formula? I wonder if that makes a difference at all?

Neetsy: I agree with everyone who didn't like Hydroxycut! It did not help me to stop overeating, and i actually gained weight, while i was on it.

Sandy D.: Found a great product for toning abs, its called The Flex Belt, and is an ab toning BELT. I'm not into these caffeine pills, so I know Hydroxycut wouldn't be good for me. But you can get the Flex Belt here www.theflexbelt.com/free it's easy to use and works better than i thought it would.

Omar: Here's the thing: caffeine is not effective for weight loss. You can read this from a lot of reputable sources. In some cases, it increases appetite and leads to fat storage.

Jamie222@aol.com: I like Hydroxycut I don't sleep much anyway. I need it to stay awake and don't really care about the weight loss, as long's im at the gym.

Molly: Do not even bother with Hydroxysucks.

Fish_Eye71: Hydroxycut did NOTHING for me, no energy boost, no weight loss, nothing at all. Pure junk.

Mary: Well, I bought this to lose weight, no other reason. If i want caffeine i will drink coffee, which is much cheaper. Wished I read this first.

EdgeHog88: Yeah I can see how some people might not like Hydroxycut too much, it has changed some since the ephedra ban. Me, I'd rather get the caffeine than the ephedra tho. And I like what Hydroxycut has done for me, I haven't lost a whole bunch of weight but I feel pretty good.

Clementine: This was okay, not necessarily as terrible as y'all say, but it's hardly groundbreaking or anything. I didn't mind it. I guess maybe it depends on your caffeine tolerance.

sammy: hydroxcut sounds like those cookies, the oreo ripoffs. that makes me hungry just thinking abot them i think i would eeat tooo much cookies if used hydroxut.

Joely B.: How many calories does it burn going up and down a flight of stairs for, say, 20 minutes? I like this form of exercise.

Janice Q.: This just wasn't what I expected, I guess. I thought that using Hydroxycut would actually DO something about my appetite. Might try Hoodia next, not sure which product.

Savannah: Hydroxycut failed me where I really needed it -- appetite control. It really has not helped me.

Oasis_Fan94: Y'all don't know what your saying, Hydroxycut is a good product. It works for me, I've used it for a long, long time. No problems or anything. If you exercise and eat right, you Will lose the weight.

Jemma62@aol.com: Caffeine causes your body to increase its stress hormones, which really messes you up!! Not only did i get a rapid heartbeat, i lost sleep and i did put on 5 pounds with Hydroxycut!

Trainwrex@yahoo.com: Well, I think Hydroxycut is OK. Just OK. Not good, not terrible, not a standout in any way shape or form. I've definitely tried better products.

The_Lorax: HYDroxycut minus Ephedra = shit. It has no quality ingredients anymore, I used to love the stuff.

Crony@aol.com: I am going to keep trying this a little longer. It might not be that terrible, i am hoping the nausea will subside.

joey: is swearing allowed in blogs some might be offended like the old ladies

bambi67Girl: When I first tried Hydroxycut, I did not know about the potential side effects. So when I started having severe anxiety and panic attacks, I actually thought i was going through some sort of psychological breakdown. I didn't even put it together until I read this review. How horrible!

Deb: Well I just bought some Hydroxycut last week...I sure am glad I saw these comments, now I guess I know not to expect a whole lot from it! I'll finish the bottle and see how it goes, though.

Eve: This Hydroxycut is something i am all too familiar with, and i would really URGE you not to put yourself thru this. I am convinced that I developed a heart murmur as a result of a year of taking hydroxycut. Not to mention all of anxiety and sleeplessness, and all for a measly 4 pounds of weight loss. Which i gained right back.

Helena: Well, all i've been hearing about these days in terms of weight loss is Hoodia. Even Oprah has been talking about it! They say it really helps control the appetite a lot. I'm wondering why Hydroxycut doesn't have it. It doesn't, does it? All I'm hearing is that it's mainly caffiene.

Nonsequitur@verizon.net: No human being can consistently drink as much water as you are supposed to drink with Hydroxycut. They make you drink all that water cuz the caffeine is dehydrating!

Jacquie: Helena: No, Hydroxycut does NOT contain Hoodia, or any other ingredient of value. Here's how you'd know that it contained Hoodia: it would WORK.

freddy: This Hydroxycut didn't help me lose weight, and it def did NOT help me get "cut" as it would suggest in the name. Just a way for some people to make money off us poor folks.

MissMaryMack71: I never felt so terrible as i did during the 3 weeks i took hydroxycut. It was such a nice feeling when I stopped and I felt normal again. Not recomedned.

Raphaela: I really thought this was going to be the right product for me, wish I read it here first. I blindly trusted in the promises made. i followed the instructions on the bottle and hoped that i was on the right track. But i soon began to feel panicky, with my heart beating too fast and sometimes irregularly. One day, at work, i was sure I was about to die. I could not slow down my breathing. I had to ask to go home for the afternoon. When I lie down and tried to sleep, I could not. I finally got to sleep at 3 in the morning and was exhausted the next day.

K.T.: The only thing I got was horrible indigestion. Thumbs down.

chris: I've lost weighy using hydroxycut in the past with a lotta of exercize and eating well. Now im using it again after 10 years and i would say its still effective as it was before. Without Hydroxycut i dont know how i would keep up with work, family, and daily exercize. Doesn't really bother me if i stay up an extra hour past my usual bedtime. Read a book and that would do the trick.

sexylyn: I have just bought hydroxycut hardcore and open it to try it ,but i should of read this first so now i cannot return it back.I will take it until the bottle is finish and c what happens?Did any one try the flex blet? Did it really work?

Jessica: I've only just started useing Hydroxycut but I use the MAX one. I went to alot of different health stores and they all told me the same thing 'this product will do the job but it can have some unpleasant side affects if you don't listen to the directions' which I found out was true on my first day taking it. The directions said I needed to drink 10, 8 oz glasses of water a day when taking the pills. I normally don't drink much water so I kinda ignored that little bit of info. Three hours later my head was acheing but as soon as I chugged a two glasses of water and ate a pear I was fine. I think the side affects tie into mainly how your body processes the product, I love the caffine because it helps wake me up without needing to stop at Starbucks and pick up my daily dose. So I don't know I've only been on it for about a week but so far I think I'm getting my money's worth. If someone can HONESTLY suggest a product that works with diet and good eating (which I've been doing for two years now and have seen very LITTLE results for) then give me a name and I'll do some research. But I'm not going to waste me money by throwing away pills, I drink another bottle of water then I used to and have a small apple or pear two hours after dinner and I'm good.

Evelyn: i used to use Hydroxycut, but after your post i stopped. I found Nuphedrine on this site and liked what I read. Ordered it and have had no regrets or side effects. Def worth checking out if you want something that works without jitters, like the old ephedra crap that used to be on the market.

Steve: Did anyone try and have success with the original formula containing ephedra?

haleigh: hydroxycut works && i love it!

jojo: NOt true, the new Hydroxycut does not work at all...the old did only okay. Will try something else. Thankx

Beth: my 17 year old son has been taking this to lose weight and burn fat,and I called GNC to ask why they would sell this to minors,and they said it is safe for them as long as they follow the directions,but a week after taking it,my son started showing signs of high energy issues,to the point where I thought he was on drugs,and got high excitability,and 2 weeks into taking it,went into the school bathroom and hit a kid so hard he broke his nose,gashed his forehead,and cut open his lips and all this from one punch to the kids face,and this is not at all like my son by the way,his anger and violence levels went thru the roof after taking this so called SAFE OTC drug,and now 2 nights ago he called me while working on his truck saying he had a migraine so bad he felt ill,he came home and said he felt very tired,fell asleep for a little, I woke him up,he went up stairs and tried coming back down stairs and called for me and he just colapsed on the stairs,I tried to speak to him and he was incoherent,and foaming at the mouth,I had my boyfriend carry him outside to the car,on the way to the car,he vommited, in the car on the way to the hospital he was passed out,eyes bloodshot,migraine headache,foaming at the mouth and dizzy,he has been in the hospital for three days now,and they are keeping him tonight as well to do more testing,as they have done an MRI,EEG, EKG<xrays of his neck and spine,tons of bloodwork,and nothing shows up except alcohol of .02 in his blood which the doc said could be from the hydroxycut,and all drug testing came back negative. So,as for the safety of this drug,it almost killed my 17 year old and GNC stands by it and said right to me it is safe for him to take,and he did follow the directions. It caused high anger,and violence in him and almost cost him his life,thank god we made it to the ER in time for them to take care of him,or he would be dead. And they say it is SAFE for kids to take as long as they follow the directions,we shall see about this one.I have proof that it is dangerous for anyone,let alone kids.Why are they allowed to sell it to minors,or anyone for that matter?

carol: Beth that is just horrible. I cannot fathom why any co would sell something liek this to minors. I hope your son pulls through.

mgriff: I am trying to lose weight after having a baby. Along with dieting, I have added hydroxycutt to my weight-loss plan. It seemed to work pretty well until a few days ago, when it began giving me diahrea. I have followed the directions appropriately, but I just don't think this product is for me, and by the way, I used the caffine-free product.

disenchanted: I have taken the old Hydroxy Cut for years. No problems. I bought this new Hodroxy Cut Max, started out by taking 1 tablet at a time. Friday I made the mistake of taking 2 (the recommended dosage). I ended up in the emergency room with a heart rate of 220/min., and had to be given heart drugs intravenously to get my heart rate back to normal. Needless to say, I will NEVER take this stuff again. Now, to rule out a heart problem I will have to see a cardialogist. Although the ER Dr. was certain it was the Hydroxy Cut Max, to quote him "we have to rule out the heart".

estelle: i took this for almost 5 months and saw very little results

Shelby: The reviews I'm reading on this just keep getting worse and worse. I have also used the old Hydroxycut, it was okay, not great but not that bad. I was interested in seeing how the new formula compared, and am very worried that people are ending up in the hospital from this! Not going to try it now, thanks for posting the comments.

Honest in Carlisle, PA: I have been taking Hydroxycut Max for about a week and a half now to try to help curb my appetite which seems to be insatiable these days. I have never been a diet pill user before. Does it help decrease my appetite-Yes! I notice I am not eating as much and I do have more energy to make it through my workouts & the rest of the day. However, the down side to this is once in a while I have mild chest pains that eventually subside and I have some trouble getting to sleep. I refuse to give up my coffee so this may play a factor in the whole thing. If there were no other options out there I think I'd cut back my doeses and give my body a chance to get used to Hydroxycut Max, but I've decided to try MiracleBurn based on the positive reviews, then switch it up the following month with NuPhedrine again because of the positive comments these products received. I wish there were a 'so -so" category because that is where I feel my true feelings about Hydroxycut lie. I hope this helps.

nery m.: Man im glad i read all your comments. You guys save me some money...

Jennifer: I would have to agree with the negative comment majority... I did not take it for over two weeks due to not being able to withstand the side effects. Taking two was kind of OK... I felt like I was on a major caffeine rush... had no effects on appetite which wasnt too big of a concern for me... BUT: the ONE day I took 3 pills.... I actually felt like I was having a panic attack, had to lay down with the lights off and breathe really hard. My heart felt like it was racing out of my head and I actually got to the point to where I felt like I COULD NOT BREATHE!!!!

Tina: I started with Hydroxycut 2 days ago, and wowser, let me tell u, runnin to the bathroom all the time, coming out both ends, thought maybe it was just that my body was not adjusted to it yet, so now reading all these blogs, I think I will just go back to doing 90 sit-ups a day, and watch my food intake...thanks...and also noticed there are not labels on box or bottle if ur not happy with this u can get ur money back...hmmmmmmm

IT WAS BAD...: DO NOT TAKE IT!!! i had a very bad experiense after taking it for 1 wk i stared felling sick... my heart beat was rasing fast... i work in a medical office and one morning i was just not felling good.. i when to the restroom and starded vomiting... when i came out i fealt like a was goint to faint... the dr. saw that i did not look good so he put me in a room my pule was up to 188 that os really high i was dizzy and they did ekg and i was just not good... he gave me a pill to control my heart and he said i would of had a heart attack... i'm just glad that someone was there to see me and i;m so much better know... of o woold of know thise was going to happen to me i would of never bouth hydroxycut... im only 20 and have a long future to go.. you do not want to go thrue what i went thrue... DONT BUY IT...

LIsa: Terrible experience-I took this product for one week and had terrible leg and pain cramping. All because it obviously has some sort of diaretic in it. Otherwise you would not be urinating to the degree I was and losing all my electrolytes and potassium. I would not recommend this product to anyone looking to boost their weight loss.

Beachbum: I have only been on it for a week now and I'm not feeling very well (which is why I was looking online for its side-effects). I have lost about 4 pounds though. Probably because I'm crapping all the time!

Dont recommend: I tried it before, I didnt like it. It didnt do much for me. I worked out at the gym 5x a week for an hour.. strength trained 3x a week.. I watched what I ate like 75% of the time. I dont drink tea, coffee or pop. The caffeine was too much for me to handle.. two weeks into it and I couldnt sleep, it made me cranky. I also drank a lot of water and still felt sick. The only positive thing was that it gave me energy, an extra push at the gym. But still, I cant stand products with added caffeine..

shizuchan: Hydroxycut works wonderfully. I don't need to eat much anymore and began to lose weight only in a few days. Just don't take 5hours before your bed time. It's the best!!!!!!!!!!

shizuchan: never worked

Karen R: I had seen hydroxycut advertised and so I decided to break down and try it. Boy was I disappointed. It did nothing, except give me a caffeine buzz for a while. I don't need the caffeine because I'm trying to heal my adrenal glands, so ultimately it made me more tired. I know someone else who tried it, also with no results.

Annette: Hydroxycut gave me the worst headaches and for some reason I actually had horrible sugar cravings. Took it for 10 days and gave up because it was not getting any better. Maybe I need somethgn wiht Hoodia, I have read good things about hoodia bites. No more caffeine pills for me.

dan: i have been taking hydroxycut for aweek only 1 pill at breakfast and 1 at lunch wow hate the jitters and the feeling like i going to die wish i read the blogs before wasting 30 dollars

Chelsea V: I'm not completely positive but I think this product makes me very cranky and on the edge. I do like the extra energy boost, but I can't stand feeling antsy all the time, which this product definitely does. As far as appetite suppression, the only reason I don't want to eat a lot is because Hydroxycut makes me nauseous! Although, I have been going to the gym more than usual to work off all of the energy it gives me! That is probably the only plus of this product. By the way, I've only been taking it for a little over a week :-/

Amy: Hydroxycut is just junk, its full of bad ingredients and (as many of you noted) has WAY too much caffeine. ugh it made me so sick and the insomnia was just awful. The feeling of racing heart and anxiety was simply too much for me. And i didn't even lose weight!! Terrible.

Jay: I am on day 3 of taking Hydroxycut and so far the side effects are manageable, I am a pretty big man though. I feel more energetic which allowed me for the past 2 days to work out a bit longer. I am looking forward to taking 2 capsules tomorrow and see what happens.

leslie g.: the only reason i bought the hydroxycut for weight loss was cause it was the most familiar name. i admit i didn't really do much research before buying it (like i should of) i got it on an impulse because i'd heard of it before. i didn't feel like myself at all, thou, and stopped taking the pills after 10 days or so. My appettie was not effected but i did run a little longer/harder. Gonna do some research here, glad I found the blog now.

jim gray: Hydroxycut is OK for giving me an energyboost in the gym, but the effects linger too long and i am still all jacked up the rest of the day. i grind my teeth and my GF says i am irritable. so i don't know, it also makes my hands shake and i really am not seeing that much of a difference.

Neil: Has anyone tried the caffeine free hydroxycut? I am wondering if it works better.

shaun: you asked about the Caffeine Free Hydroxycut? I tried it. THE GOOD NEWS: It doesn't give you jitters or insomnia. THE BAD NEWS: It doesn't work at all, I mean it doesn't do SHIT. So, feel free to weigh those pros and cons. To me, the answer's pretty clear.

elaine armstrong: the caffeine was getting to me in Hydroxycut and so I switched to the caffeine-free formula. it was better, bcs i had none of the nervous-energy side effects and i was able to take it for longer (2 months) but still, i had no significant wegiht loss from it. Only 3 lbs total. so, no, it's not better.

Erin: Interesting, thank you for all the information, I am glad I came across it!

jodi_in_philly: am near the end of month 1 on hydroxycut and am unsure about whether or not to continue. i beleive i have lost 4 lbs and so i am making some progress and don't feel so lethargic but i have this sick ffeeling deep in my stomach constantly. does this ever go away or will i feel this way until i reach my gaol? at this rate i think it will be awhile...

Terese: I don't like that Hydroxycut isn't helping with my food cravings! i guess i just thought that a diet pill would help a person to eat less, but this doesn't do anything of the kind. I still am hungry for everything in sight. Now i am not sleeping, and i'm run down all the time, and i eat MORE when i am tired.

Nate: Also for those who have not tried, stay away from hydroxycut 24!!! It's basically the regular hydroxycut that you take in the morning and makes you heart beat way too fast and a sleeping aid at the end of the day who makes you so tired that you can't barely function in the morning. What is the matter with those people! HOw can it even be legal. Oyr country is F..ed up if you want my opinion.

Tenille: Like with all supplements I think you need to really follow all instructions while taking. I take the Hydroxycut orginal formula because ti is all herbal and the caffiene does not bother me negatively. I do not take for more htan 8 weeks bcs I just don;t like relying on pils. I lost 6 lbs the first time and stopped for awhile (1 month), then took again for 2 months and lost 5 more. Its a way that works for me , i like it.

Christina: I am not so angry at Hydroxycut like some of you seem to be (no judgment of course) I just regret that it isn't making me loose much weight if any. Oh well, I am sure among those 1000 different products there is one that works.

sylvia: hmm i just ordered Hydroxycut 24 because i didn't want stimulants at night. i think it should be arriving today or tomorrow, do they take it back right away? i am not lookng for a sleeping pill that makes me groggy...

MANDERLY55: JODI - I WAS USING HYDROXYCUT (ORIGINAL) FOR 3 MONTHS AND FELT SICK THE WHOLE TIME. I THOUGH T IT WAS WORHT IT TO LOSE 11 LBS BUT IT WASNT. THE WEIGHT ALL CAME BACK WITHIN A MONTH AFTER STOPPING USE.

Nina: I am doing Weight Watchers, which BTW I recommend to any one who is seriously committed to loosing weight by dieting. As much as I loved WW, it is a really slow process. I loose an average of 2lbs a week some weeks nothing depending on how serious I am. I chose Hydroxycut to help me speed up the process hoping it will help me burn more fat and loose at least 5 lbs a week. I was really desappointed, aside from the nasty side effects that have been mentioned here, people need to know that the huge amount of caffeine ended up making me more hungry and completely messed up my diet. I am back on track thanks God but will never do a supplement with caffeine again.

Wendy: NIna, thanks for your post..and for pointing out something that i didn't know until recently: CAFFEINE CAN ACTUALLY INCREASE YOUR APPETITE!! i've read all about this, and its actually a known fact. Caffeine is not necessarily the weight loss miracle everyone thinks it is. I have heard of a lot of people who have GAINED weight on caffeine pills, and that's why it didn't bother me to go off Hydroxycut. It was making me feel crazy, and i wasn't loosing weight. i dont need to waste my time with that!

Rojo: has anybody tried Hydroxyxcut Hardcore? its supposed to be specifically for muscleheheads....

delia: Hydroxycut Max Extreme Weight Loss (women's formula) made me so ill i gagged at work...i couldn't sleep, i was nervous and worried all the time. I also was starting to sweat excessively, and i could smell my own odor at work. it was becoming a detriment to me, personally and professionally. When the sharp chest pains began, i knew it was time to flush this down the commode.

Louise: For 15 years I have been following a low-fat vegetarian diet, but that hasn't stopped 12 lbs from creeping on in the past coupel of years (turning 40 is hell) I don't know what I expected from Hydroxycut...I just started taking it and followed my regular exercise routine (weight training 3 x a week, cardio for 30 min 4 x a week) and also ate the same. my appetite was never affected and I really didnt' see any changes in my workouts. i thought i was missing something, but i can see i am no t the only one whose not had sucess with this pills. Didn't do anything at all.

Ted: Never heard of Hydroxyxcut Hardcore, is it any good Rojo? Although after poor results with Hydroxyxcut original I am not sure I want to deal with the brand anymore. thumbs down.

sarita: don't know how it works and really don't care, all i know is i drink lots of water and go to the gym DAILY and i am losing weight with Hydroxycut ( 8 lbs in 3 weeks)

ERIN&MARC: I tried this product, but i drink a lot of coffee (about 5 cups/day) and i wasn't aware at first just how much caffeine hydroxycut had. SO i was continuing with my regular coffee regimen and hydroxycut. Big mistake. I had a full-blown anxiety attack at my son's birthday party. It was awful. Never again.

SADADEX: Everyone is either stupid or lazy, Hydroxyxcut works for me!!! You know that you have to leave the couch alone for it to work right?

debbie: It never ceases to amaze me how viciously fat people turn on each other. Its like the nerds at school who all hate each other for reminding them of their own miserable lives. There's nothing worse than a dieter who thinks they have found "the answer" and they look down on anyone who might not have had success. Sadadex, you are a classic case of this. Ask yourself: why did you take time out of your busy day just to be cruel to people who are struggling with something you have also struggled with?? Lets see some solidarity in this community! I turn to this blog for support, not abuse!

Val: First what kind of name is Sadadex? are you from Mars? what is the matter with you dude! In case you are not aware Hydroxyxcut maybe what's causing you to be angry and arrogant. It made me feel that way too and I had to stop.

panda_bear442: right on debbie you tell 'em!

Ken: I do feel like Hydroxyxcut is working for me. Yes I eat more but I am also working out like never before, I spend an average of 8 hours per week at the gym now. I have a feeling that next month I'll have a kick ass body.

Chuck: No dieter that I've ever met really believes that takiing a pill is the only answer for weight loss, they know that it takes work in the end. The problem is that pills like Hydroxycut are so aggressively advertised that people pay money and end up feeling not only sick, but very disappointed. In themselves more than the product. I'd like to see a product from a company that cares more about quality and the success of dieters than product sales. Hydroxycut failed me like it has failed most others here, and I do nOT blame myself for trying. I do blame the product for not working.

crystal: i feel like Hydroxycut is maybe better for men than for women... esp. since for a lot of us (well, me, anyway!), the issue of cravings and snacking is a major problem. and Hydroxycut doesn't do ANYTHING to fix that. Whereas guys they just want energy for the gym and i guess Hydroxycut does give some of that....of course then your up all night. anyway, it wasn't for me.

Linda_Cincinnati: I wonder if I could take an appetite supplement too with Hydroxyxcut? I am doing South beach diet which is working really well. I started Hydroxyxcut a few days ago and I am exercising so much longer because of it, it's pretty neat. I do however feel more hungry than ever before and don't know if I can stick to south beach any longer if I keep feeling this way. Any recommendations?

LizzyLiz: Better than Alli because at least hydroxycut didn't give me the runs but it made me feel veryvery shaky for 7 days, until i threw it out. NOt such a good feeling.

Polly: What are you talking about Crystal, only guys at the gym? I love my treadmill workouts AT THE GYM and I can run an extra 2 miles per week since using Hydroxycut. and that helps me burn calories, my body fat is decreasing!

jane: Hi linda i think it would be kind of excessive to be taking 2 separate pills AND doing south beach, althhough, whatever it talks right? lol...but seriously...there are a lot of pills now that have an appetite suppressant AND a fat burner and their just in the 1 pill, my suggestion wld be to look into that. hydroxycut is just a brand name but as you can see does not really work. good luck! Jane

Mike: May as well take a pill that does it all fat burner and appetite suppressant if you are gonna start mixing pills. That's my opinion. good luck Linda.

Vixx: Never heard of Hydroxycut Hardcore and have no interest in antyhing more "hardcore" than Hydroxycut itself. Just that alone sent me on a wild ride, let me tell you, I felt like a 12-year-old kid with ADD who forgot to take his Riddilin. :) And nope, no big weight loss. :(

meredith: yeah, apparently, crystal in your world women don't go to the gym? guess what, they're even in the WORKPLACE now! hahah. Geez. there should be an intelligence requirement to post on here. Anyway, i have to say that Hydroxycut is more of a caffeine stimulant than anything else. Really, its more or less pure caffeine, which you can buy in a pill for cheap, or better yet, Red Bull. The energy you get with Hydroxycut is just not smooth or pleasant, its scary.

Rick: Well, I guess I am one of the few for who Hydroxyxcut worked alright. I just needed a little boost to help me get moving and Hydroxyxcut did just that. I now have to change my fast food habits and I should be all set. I lost around 6lbs with Hydroxyxcut, not bad. Side effect are for wimps.

Clarissa: HI I just wanted to jump in here, I have been researching supplements for like 3 days. Nuphedrine seems to be one of the best (lots a positive thumbs) and I just ordered that, after seeing all this negativity about Hydroxycut. Fat burner + 2 appetite suppressants in the nuphedrine..hope this helps!

Cindy: so i was thinking i might go for a Colonic but the idea of some stranger sticking a tube up my butt freaks me out, has anybody done this? how bad is it. Does it work. ANy hydroxycut users know?

Kim A.: So Hydroxycut is more for basically fit people, who just need to lose a few pounds, is that what I'm understanding? What about us who need to lose 40 + ??

candace: I LIKED EVERYTHING ABOUT HYDROXYCUT EXCEPT THE ACNE IT CAUSED.

Frank: I don't know rather to give Hydroxyxcut a thumb up or down. I have been taking it for 7 days and I definately lost weigh (maybe 5lbs hard to say). I did start eating only veggies and lean meats at the same time and also exercises so it is hard to say who gets the credit for the lost of weight. I do thing the energy helps big time at the gym. Okay, thumb up then:)

cocoa: No Kim you totally misunderstand: Hydroxycut is for people who need a caffeine fix, it realy is no good for weight loss! Notice how everyone who has lost here says they exercise all the tiem??

RuledByMars: Well I dunno I think the Hydroxycut 24 is a little bit better,with the PM formula. I have been taking for a week and do feel a bit groggy in the morning,but i come out of the fog by 10 a.m. or so. I am hoping my body will adjust to it wihtin the next week or so.

rita: You know I am glad someone brought that up..thank you, Kim, for asking that question. So, if you don't exercise (I don't) Hydroxycut is just going to give you a bunch of useless energy, but NOT make you loose weight??? forget that, then! geez

Odeon: Well not to defend Hydroxyxcut which is a pretty mediocre supplement but yeah everything works better if you exercise. You can't expect to loose weight just sitting on your couch and eating the same crap.

Vanna: My appeite was way out of control on Hydroxycut, all that nervous energy just increased my snacking habits. Bad news. I didn't gain weight wiht it, but I never oreded a second bottle. DIdn't loose either.

Click_Clack: Hydroxycut made me a nervous wreck nobody could stand to be around me i was so freaked all the time...i felt like everything was moving in fast foward and my husband said my pupils were dialated and i started thinking that everybody at work hated me, maybe they did. the nervous sweatting was terrible, i know there were some days when i stunk and i got stuck in an elevator once with this older man and i was panincing and sweating and he must have wanted to vomit. i was thirsty all the time and dehydrated and my skin became dry. thru all of this i was exercising and i did lose about 1o lbs over the course of a couple months but i think i could have done that anyway. i felt like I was becoming a crazy woman....i had to get rid of those pills I am glad to read on here I am not alone.

Elizabeth C.: Listen, of course you need to diet and exercise to loose weight but you don't have to feel sick and anxious while doing it. I learned the hard way, I kept taking Hydroxycut until I lost weight even though I felt horrible, then I would stop, regain weight, and go back to it since,well, it dID work, sort of. But since I started using Nuphedrine (http://www.nuphedrine.com ) last month I have lost 9 lbs already and feel like myself again. And I am not killing myself at the gym either.

steffie: i binged way too much on Hydroxycut, it was not a clean high,i gained weight. Thumbs DOWN.

Venise: Well I like the caffeine in Hydroxyxcut it's not addictive but yet it makes me feel like I am on drugs in a good way. Not sure I can explain, I guess some people are less sensitive than other when it comes to caffeine. I do agree that you don't loose an ounce with Hydroxyxcut if you dont change your diet or exercise which is kind silly for a supposedly called fat burner.

fred: whoa, come on now....if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen. Hydroxycut's strong stuff, I'll give you that, but you have to be able to handle its intensity. Sounds like some of you are really wussy, like you can't even really handle the world of fitness even *without* a pill. it aint for the faint of heart, literally and figuratively.

pa_toots: that is just a horrible story "click clack" thank goodness the hydroxycut pills were not addictive. i appreciate you sharing this,i have no intention of trying this one now.

LAdyBull772: In my 20s I was a powerlifter and a pretty damn good one too. I took Hydroxycut for a few weeks to help me train and tone and I was a nervous wreck for those weeks. I am not a weak person, never have been, but Hydroxycut caused havoc on my ssystem, it is not something I would recomend to anyone, no matter your shape, size, weight, age, etc. Stay away.

Emily: Went to see MGMT, 4 nights ago, that band really rock! Anyway I was so hyper after taking the 2 capsules of Hydroxyxcut that I jumped on the stage!!! Yep, crazy things you can do when you are over excited. I'll never forget that night but I won't be taking Hydroxyxcut any time soon.

Miranda: Hi I am just curious, what is the fat burner in the caffeine-free formula for Hydroxycut? I am not sure that it sounds so effective but the orginial sounds very potent.

regina: Hi miranda, as far as i can tell (and based on the results I'm NOT seeing) caffeine-free Hydroxycut does not HAVE a fat burner. what a waste.

Samy: I didn't read all the post yet but boy I am surprised to see so many thumb down for Hydroxycut!! The guy at GNC told me that it was exactly what I needed.

JANE: The Hydroxycut Caffeine-free is the same, only wiht decaffeinated tea extracts. I don't think it works to burn fat all. But neither does the original. It all SUCKS if you ask me.I prefer a more modern formula.

LeeAnn: Yeah, so it seems to me that with Hydroxycut, you can either choose the horribly unpleasant and side-effect laden Caffeine version, or the useless, lame, no-fat burner and no appetite suppressant version. i think i'm gonna keep looking for a third option.

Nadine: Would Hydroxypropyl Cellulose would be the fat burner? I don't know anything about ingredients I am just trying to figure out what to look for in my next fat burner and of course I want to stay away from Hydroxycut's ingredients.

Kyle: Really I just don't see what the big deal is about Hydroxycut. Lots of us have obviously bought it and not lost weiight so...why is it even still around?? It gave me a caffeine rush and then a caffeine crash. THat's all, folks.

Teague: -Nadine- I've heard Advantra Z is a good ingredient for fat burning, even though I haven't tried it yet myself. I'm only beginning to delve into the world of suplements, but, its had good reviews..

sarah: Nadine, hi, no, Hydropropyl Cellulose according to google is just a food additive and emulsifier (thickener). A fat burner, it aint! As far as i can tell, and I have looked the ingredient list over quite carefully, there is no fat burner in Caffeine Free Hydroxycut. But I am happy to stand corrected if someone finds one. I don't you will, tho, bcs this didn't work at all.

matthews: actually i do eat lesss on hydroxycut than without taking it. maybe from not sitting still ever? i feel a bit anxious but my pants are looser so its doing somehing.

Helana: The thing I am not happy about with Hydroxycut is that they are blaming it on us when you complain to them that the pill is not working. They say that I must have be eating the wrong food or I must not be working out long enough. WTF, if I wanted to do a diet I would have done Weight Watchers long time ago. I am pissed at them and may ask my husband to write an articles about those liars.

smooth_talker: the hydroxycut pill itself was okay, i only felt mildly stimulated, not out of control. i thought the exercise tips were LAME though. i need more direction/motivation, maybe some sort of diet program might work better than just a pill.

lisa: Well, Hydroxycut caffeine free didn't give me results. That's the bottom line for me I had hoped it worked I had heard good things about it.

BIF: BUt will Hydroxycut even get me more definition, my stomach is not as cut as it used to be and I'dlike to get back my 6 pack.

Drew: Not sure yet about this energy boost i am getting with the Hydroxycut...it helps me get the workout done but i don't like the weird feeling that comes with it. Also my nose has been bleeding whats up with that.

David: I am thorned between taking Hydroxycut back or just try it and hope I am one a the few people for who it works. This sucks, I wish I didn't see the blog, I was so excited about getting started.

TANYA: THE 7 LBS I LOST ON HYDROXYCUT CAME RIGHT BACK THE SECONED I STOPPED USING THE PILLS AND I LOST IT AGAIN IN 3 MONTHS WITH JUST DIET AND EXERCISE AND NOTHING ELSE. DON'T WASTE UR TIME WITH THIS CRAP.

Paul: You know what, yes Hydroxycut makes me over excited but it also gives me ton of energy. I am not really sure how it works but I changed my diet and riding my bike every day now and I am loosing weight for sure. So if you ask me I'll say Hydroxycut kicks ass.

kelsey: Hydroxycut Max was too too much caffein in combination w/my regular coffee, i stopped it it was either that or the coffee.

Carlee: Well I only lost a couple pounds wiht hydroxycut and my muscles never looked any more defined. I ordered the FLexBelt (saw the link posted above) and wanted to say thanks, now THAT'sa product where you see the results fast. I still have some weight ot loose but I am actually feeling my stomach getting stronger and leaner.

Liam: Its good for energy and mental focus!

Sabrina: How many pills do you take a day?

queenie: his is certainly not for kids, not for those who are still growing. could be dangerous as far as i can see KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND YES 16 is a kid.

alexis: I can't' believe Hydroxycut doesn't even have a legit fat burner other than Caffeine! GNC has really slipped in my estimation, now. I used to trust there recommendations!

Sean: I took as many pills as directed. 1 tablet 3x a day for the 3 first days and then 2 tablets 3 x day. I did that for a month before giving up. I just didn't loose that much weight and was really doing extra efforts and diet and exercise. I spent $ from my check that I did not erally have.

Miah: WHEN I took Hydroxycut I started with one capsule, 3 times a day, then increased to 2 caps, three times a day. And NOW? Zero. because i felt god awful and weak, don't even bother with this.

Samuella: 3 Capsule of Hydroxycut a day was strong enough for me. I sometime skipped the 3rd one. I did loose weight the first 2 weeks and then nothing. I don't know maybe it works better if you take 2 caps not sure.

lena: i am a little scared of what i;m doing right now to my self with hydroxycut...i think i reached a point where i was feeling so desparate to lose the weight tthat i was willing to damage my health in the process...so i put up with jitters and the nausea, the heart flutters...but the thing i couldn't take was the insomnia. I am no good if i don't get a full nights sleep. So i started taking an OTC sleep medicine to put me to sleep some nights i have to take 4 maybe even 5 on bad night bcs the hydroxycut has me so amped up. Then in the morning i am groggy from the pills and i have to drink a lot of coffe and take my first 2 hydroxycut before i even leave for work. Then i take more midmorning, and this gets me all energzied....but then i ususally have to take at least 1 more in mid after noon that is when i feel like i might fall asleep at my desk. ITs a vicious cycle. I have lost weight, about 12 lbs but i am worried i won't even get to enjoy that....i know some of my friends are worried about me but i dont know how to stop all this bcs i will regain the weight then. please advise me..i dont know how i got in this situation but now i feel like there is no way out. carmelena

Celeste: When I started on Hydroxycut I got as much information as possible and I think that by drinking all that H2O and eating low fat and not snacking after dinner, its all combined to make a difference in my body & health. Just from taking this I ahve been giving it my all,really taking control of my body. ANd its paying off, I just pulled out an old pair of jeans from last winter and I need a belt to wear them! Time to hit the mall..

jackie: If you need Hydroxycut for "Mental focus" you should probably be on ADD meds instead of self medicating.

Livvy: This gave me the runs, is that common? Maybe it was something I ate too, but I didn't trust teh Hydroxycut after that episode...

brenda: how much does hydroxycut cost?

Arnold: Unfortunately I tried this before I read the reviews. Not recommended.

Marcy: Well I just don't know how anyone can tolerate taking Hydroxycut in any form.The original formula makes me feel nauseous, caffeine-free causes stomach bloat, and the 24 makes me lethargic for the first part of the day. I really gavie it a try thought the brand was good, sorry, no good.

Jacob: I thought Hydroxycut was pretty awseome at first, it was helping me power thru my 2 hour workout without getting tired or lowering the intensity. i was hitting the gym pretty hard and i felt like a god. Within a week or so i started seeing the down side a bit, i was not sleeping, i couldnt fall asleep to save my life.,.i would finlaaly drift off at like 5:30 am and next thing you knew..my alarm went off., but i didn't care much about that, i'v'e always been a fast pace guy, my philopshy is "I'll sleep when i'm dead." yeah. so i figure i would push thru the work day too. I was loading up on the hydroxycut and red bulls, to get trhu the day. then one day an improtant advertiser came in to meet me, i mean i had to impress this dude.and my hand would not stop shaking. I went to go shake this gauys hand and it wouldn't stay still. he had to hold it still for me. It was so humiliating. Then i had to sit down beause i was feeling dizzy and the thing is this guy took offense that i sat down before he did. I lost that account...and i lost a lot of my cred around the office. This Hydroxycut seems like its gonna make you into a rock star but it really makes you into a p*ssy that shakes like a girl.

Melissa: UM sensational.com/diet has a review on Hydroxycut you should read. I agree with it completely.

Naomi: Never seen so many negative post for a product before, must be really bad!! Well thanks for sharing you opinion. I am still in high school and a friend of mine was telling me about Hydroxycut, She is kind of nuts so I am glad I checked to make sure first. :)

tim: lost 4 lbs quickly with Hydroxycut but then i rapidly stopped loosing weight. i dont understand what happened, i started eating a bit more due to my heavy weight training regimen but i dont think that should make a difference since i was taking the hydroxycut.

Rhonda: Wow some of the stories here are pretty scary. I don't have anything interesting to report about my Hydroxycut use, I just want to report that it didn't help me loose the 43 lbs i need to. shoulda read the review first i guess.

Joe: I'm not really mad at Hydroxycut, it was not that expensive after all but yeah I agree it sucks. Can't loose a damn pound with that stuff just makes me feel weird like a milk jug head.

olivia: well, there's one thing i know: the Caffeine free Hydroxycut does nothing, and from what you are all saying, the Caffeinated version is a NIGHTMARE and also does nothing.

Cara: Maybe that's how they get people to buy the Hydroxycut, it helps you lose weihgt right away so you think it works, even though you reach a standstill rather quickly? That is what happened to me and I was stilll buying it for 3 months! I feel foolish, I lost 3 lbs in the first 10 days and only 2 more lbs after that. Not good enough for me. I read about Slim10 on here and am gonna try that one I will report back.

Gladys: IT seems that they (the co.) also knows Hydroxycut doens't work, thats how come they make al those other formulas. Get you to try them all and spend money before you wake up and realize you just wasted a whole months pay on diet pills that never worked. But I'm not bitter...

diane_Matty: Well, I certainly want a diet product that will curb my appetite and possess a real fat burner. I couldn't believe that Hydroxycut had neither, until i found out the hard way. Save your money, there are better products out there! THANKS FOR THE REVIEW.

katherine: Ok....For all of you people who claim to have healthy life styles here is the low down on hydroxycut.....if you peel back the label you will notice a list of ingredients...i believe there are a few herbs that create a laxative effect on the bowl which is ok in moderation but be very careful because the body can become dependent....Also hydroxycut contains hydrogenated vegetable oil which is a major cause for concern. Hydrogenated oil is an unsaturated fat that has been injected with hydrogen. Hydrogen steels oxygen from cells. Cells begin to deplete and become damaged. Once a cell is damaged then it is vulnerable to oxidization from free radicals which can cause the cell to become cancerous. We need to protect our cells with good fat at all times. And the laxatives ( if abused) can purge all of the necessary vitamines and minerals from our body which would essentially be the only thing that could repair these damaged cells.....so unless you have a really good properly balanced diet with all essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals and good fats then hydroxycut could potentially be very harmful to the body...and if you have a proper diet then you wouldn't need hydroycut tin the first place! Ahhh that feels so good to get off of my chest!

sherri richey: EVERYONE, HYDROXYCUT is GREAT... why? because you can need to be accountable for your actions. other words, if you dont eat healthy, drink water your body needs anyway, excersise , and take your proper amount of hydroxycut than expect bad or no results...... AND FOR ME, 0 NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS. i have a sensitive stomache to caffine and vitamins. hydroxycut is great. i have lost weight in 2 wks time in places like the knees,face, wrist, waist, ankles,feet oh and my butt. some in my hips. IN 2 WKS. ENERGY IS GREAT NO SLEEP ISSUES WHICH IS FUNNY CAUSE I WAS SUFFERING FROM INSOMNIA PRIOR TO HYDROXYCUT. GOOD LUCK GIVE IT A TRY IF YOU REALLY WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT HYDROXYCUT WILL HELP. I AM AN AVERAGE GAL JUST LIKE ALL OF YOU. E-MAIL I AM A REAL PERSON. GOOD LUCK.

Becca: As far as I know, we are all "real" people, I'm sure there are no robots or aliens posting on this blog? I should hope not! I don;t think I need to give you all a whole sob story of why Hydroxycut sucked, I've read enough of those on this blog today and my side effects and efforts were similiar to most others. Let me just say it: Hydroxycut sucked.

ali: i bought it today and i wish i checked out this web site before i started it.

Polo: Really good in controlling your appetite, plus that burst of energy you get from caffeine gives me the will to go work it out.

lauren: hahah, Becca...you're funny, and you summed it up. i am really not sure what this stuff means about "real people" vs. not real, but i know that my icky experience with hydroxycut was very real. It was a bad thing...i had anxiety and major trrouble getting to sleep. Just like many of you have had. I didn't think Hydroxycut was such a great appetite suppressant either, i started taking Hoodia P57 on the side. Then i dropped Hydroxycut in the process, and i managed to lose weight anyway.

danielle: ive been taking it for about 5 days and i think its great. I have a 2yr old so the extra energy has been keeping me at his pace but without the jitters. so far so good,,,ill keep u posted!!

Michelle: I am really not sure what I am doing wrong but Hydroxycut has no effect on me whatsoever!!! I am really disappointed. Maybe I got a fake one.

Chuck: Hydroxycut has a no-caffeine version. According to WebMD, the key ingredient is not caffeine, but a natural plant prodcut called Garcina cambogia that has (in mice)caused weight loss. Their clinical trials showed some weight loss for people. They key is that you have to diet and exercise. I'm using it as a supplement to my already-good habits.

Mabel: I used Hydroxycut about 8 yrs ago and went from 165 lbs to 118 lbs in about 6 months. It happened so fast that it totally caught me off guard when I weighed myself one day, I thought the scale needed to be fixed! I even stepped on different scales for 2nd opinions! I was skeptical to use the new formula after I had my baby, but I gave it a try and so far it's amazing! It gets me to the gym and makes me want to go back after I'm home! I wouldn't work out this hard without it. I am much happier, not as a result of the pills, but as a result of exercise and the endorphins you get! I was in such a slump before. YOU HAVE to work out and MEAN IT if you're on this, otherwise YOU WILL get jittery and shaky. If you make the most of the energy it gives you, you will have no problem sleeping at night. Don't take this if all you're gonna do is power walk on the treadmill. You need to weight train and hit the cardio hard.

brenda: Well, i did like the lack of side effects I had with caffeine free Hydroxycut, but I did still find i was struggling a lot with my appetite. I was still totally craving all my faves: pizza, fries, nachoes, CHOCOLATE. I did manage to control myself with willpower but it was a CONSTAnt BATTLE. I had to totally focus on it. I decided to look for another caffeine free diet pill with a better appetite suppressant and then i read the review for nuphedrine (which also has Hoodia). For me this was a huge step, bcs it made it much less of a struggle to be "good." i wasn't as tempted by those trigger foods, and i was hardly even thinking about it anymore. I liked that, it really helped me with my efforts. I've lost 27 lbs now and i feel really good, side effect free.

Ally: I can't sleep and getting headaches too. It sucks!

just a gal in Illinois: 10/20/08 I began taking this Saturday morning. Have to admit, I too felt jittery and nervous about 35 mins. after my first pill. I do blame that on the other two cups of coffee prior to pill. That was my fault! We all know that if any medication contains caffiene and you stay at your normal intake, you are going to feel like that. I did do alot more walking over the weekend then normal and was surprised that I had lost almost 3 pounds and it is only Monday! I feel this may do well for me, but also know things may or may not slow down as my body becomes "adjusted" to the pills. No offense to anyone prior, but I too believe as others before me ,that like with any other dieting plan , choosing the right foods and excercise is a MUST, that had I not been so active this weekend, my results ,more then likely, would not have been the same. I have had not had any insomnia issues so far, but again, have followed the directions and not taken my last dose of the day less then 5 hours before bedtime. I guess time will also tell if that remains the same. Due to so many ani-inflamatory meds over the years, I have a horribly sensitive stomach as well, and so far so good while taking this. Again, I guess time will tell. Will post again with an update. Wish me luck!

Shelly: I like Hydroxycut because i have not had the energy to finish a workout in years and for whatever reason it helped...lol...even though i have to take sleeping pills to get rest at night! i am also on dr. natura's colonix program and a medication for quitting smoking called chantix. it all sounds like a lot, but i really wanted to turn my health around and so far i have lost wieght faster than i ever have in my life. actually, i have tried a lot of different things and never could even loose a few pounds in the past unless i starved myself-which sucks!

Diana: took the Hydroxycut pills for 30 days, used as directed and still had trouble sleeping at night. Problems started around the second or third day for me, though the energy rush was immediate. No reduced appetite, no wiehgt loss, lots of restless nights. thumb DOWN.

ashley: My husband's friend took hydroxycut hardcore. Vomited several times. He thought it was just his own stomach's reaction and knowing he couldn't use it, gave the bottle to my husband. After two days, he is irritable and today started vomiting and also has horrible diarrhea. A supplement should not cause these problems for a 21 yr old. Everyone may react differently, but I won't be risking my health to try hydroxycut. I recommend weight watchers and realistic exercise. Helped me lose 30 lbs. Thanks for the blogs!

Kat: you know what i think is funny? how people on this site put eachother down. like come on, hydroxycut may ahve not worked for some of you.. if you think about it, its honestly NOT the pill. im taking it, been taking it for three days but i dont feel any different. im not gonna listen to all the bad things said about it because im going to find out for myself.. it worked for my friend so tis worth a shot.. but not everybodies body worksd the same.

Marce: I've been usingthis product for about two weeks, and it has done some good for me as when I use it I have more stamina in the gym and have noticed a lot more sweat!.

Channa: My sister in laws husband took hydroxycut worked out and watched what he ate and he lost over 35 pounds on it. Which i think is awesome..if u want to lose the weight u have got to work out and watch what you eat if not ur not gonna lose anything..

Julie: True, as with ANY weight loss plan,it is up to the dieter to make the effort. Just simply taking a pill is not gonna make the fat melt right off. THat said, I was not happy with Hydroxycut, because of the way it made me feel. Yeah, I had more energy but it really, really affected my sleep cycle and so not only would i be tired, but i would have this constant shaky feeling on top of it. I'm sure there is not one single diet or pill that will work for "everyone" who tries it, and I am not here to complain about Hydroxycut just to vent. I simply think that others have a right to know that i did not have the best experience with the pills, if they care to listen, and maybe that can help them make a decision.

leslie: Hey Julie, i know exactly what you mean...i had the same horrible shakiness, anxiety and sleeplessness that you had. I wasn't very alert or effective during the day, and i often lacked the energy to workout in the evening after work. So, I disliked Hydroxycut quite a bit, really. I think it should be said that this is a forum for both positive and negative opinions, its not about "complainig" so much as just giving honest opinions, whatever they may be.

pam: hydroxycut made me vomit. i had a very bad reaction in my stomach and would never take the pils again. makes me shiver just thinking about it. yuck.

Tonja: So far so good!~smile I just gave birth (10 weeks ago) to my 5th (yes fifth!~wink) child.I used to compete and have never had trouble getting weight off after giving birth.This time around my appetite is out of control!I am a gym rat,hit cardio and weights daily but cannot seem to curb my appetite,that is why i bought hydroxycut.Although I miss the ephedra I am pleased with my increased energy and am ECSTATIC about how well my appetite has been decreased!!I will say that I do not take 2 pills on the last dose and cannot take it 5 hours before bed,need to be more like 7 hours before bed!I might also add I am not looking for a miracle pill,I eat a very healthy diet paying close attention to food sources,carbs,protein,and calories.Just needed to curb my appetite and increase my energy.Oh lastly,I saw several posts about the water consumption SUGGESTED of ten 8oz glasses of water....that should be done even without this pill for health and also weight loss.

Tom: I have lost over 35 ibs in the last 2 months with the help of Hydroxycut. The product helps curb appetite while I increased my exercise.

Devon: My cravings were only lessened the teeniest little bit on Hydroxycut but my migraines - which usually hit me about once a month - were coming on about 2-3x a week! I thought maybe it would get better and I held out for a month but the symptoms didnt go away. THank god they have now (3 weeks, no Hydroxycut no headaches) but man, it was rough. I lost 4 lbs, 2 of which have returned. OVerall I would say this is not a good pill.

Cg: Hydroxycut Max helped me lose about 7 lbs after taking the bottle but at the end I realized that the last month I had been very irritable and almost violent and then I realized that it probably was because of the Hydroxycut and it is so out of my nature to act this way. It was almost scary at some points so I am no longer going to take the stuff but am grateful for the little weightloss!

Alain: I tried this product for 3 weeks and saw no results at all. In fact, it made me dizzy. I ended up giving it to a friend who wanted to try it. As for me, I've lost weight simply by excercising extensively and eating right. I can even enjoy my fresh cup of coffee every morming without worring about too much caffeine.

Audrey: I thought i lost weight 5 lbs with Hydroxycut but it turned out to just be water weight, bcs Hydroxycut dehydrates you. Plus i was so jittery and nervouse and it really made me feel unstable. i am not going to take this anymore i realized that it is worthless.

anonymous: I read here too the same thing hydroxycut is not as good as once thought. Thanks for sharing all your experiences.

Paul 2: Here we go, hopefully this works.

Dawn P.: Have been on Hydroxycut for 2 weeks and am working my ass off! Its true, I don't see how you could expect to lose wiehgt and not work? I am dealing with the dry mouth and headaches because I don't want to give up on another pill. ANd the time I used to spend sleeping I now just get up and go toe the gym super early. I hope I can keep it up!

noelle: yeah i am not gonna quit the hydroxycut either, the only thing that bothers me is the heart palpitations but i can power through that, too! mind over matter. And yeah, use the hours you use to use sleeping to be productive! We can sleep when we;re DEAD.

candace: YOu know, Noelle, I'm really glad you used the word DEAD in your post, because hopefully that will shock some of the readers of this blog into reality. The fact is, you are mistreating your body terribly, and i am telling you if you keep it up it is going to take a toll! Everyone needs to sleep to stay healthy, in fact, studies have shown that people who sleep lose more weight than those who don't! i URGE You and anyone else reading this: if you notice side effects like headhace, dizziness, rapid heart, or anxiety with Hydroxycut, YOU SHOULD STOP. No doubt. I am the mom of 2 kids and when i started noticing this stuff, I threw the Hydroxycut right in the trash. Please, maybe some of you are not moms, but I'm sure you are still loved by someone and your lives are valuable. Please don't throw it down the drain just to be skinny for a few months.

Michael W.: Used it to lose belly fat. Had no results with it. Not one pound.

Val: C'mon I think you are overexxagerating Candace, if Hydroxycut is deadly, how can they still sell it?? I have taken the Hydroxycut Max for 2 weeks and love the energy I get!

Hilary: This is NOT a product to be taken lightly, Candace! You do realize that supplements like this are not regulated by the FDA? So a company can tell you anything they want to make a buck, and you never know the truth until its too late. That's why I think forums like this are so CRUCIAL for consumers, to get honest, factual information on products from real people who have been there. I used Hydroxycut for only a week before realizing that my heart couldn't take it. i just hope that this post can save others the agony.

Roxanne: I've been taking it for 3 days. Love the energy, however, my skin is very sensitive now, burns and turns red using my normal products.My acne has increased and my stomach gets upset. Heart will palpitate. To early for weight loss. think I'll try another product!!!

grace n.: oh that sounds awful roxanne, even worse than how i felt on hydroxycut! i had the heart palpitations but none of the skin sensitivity. try nuphedrine, that's what i use now. lots of energy but no scary reactions! oh plus, i've lost 11 lbs in the past 3 weeks.

eric: I think hydroxycut is one of the greatest products ive erer used i have lost 40 pounds in 10 weeks the thing with any product is diet and exercise if you don't adjust your diet and add some cardio to your diet no product will work on the weight loss to the people who buy products because they say they are quick and easy get real nothing is quick and easy you have to be dedicated put the time in at the gym and watch the foods your putting into your body I once was 18 and in the usmc and was lean and my body was amazing but life happend then I became 30 and overweight and very unhealthy at 215 then i found hydroxycut now im still 30 but 180 i thank you and my 2 children thank you hydroxycut for giving me my life and my body back. I want to encourage anyone who has given up on their bodies and just accepted it to take the hydroxycut challenge 8 weeks cut your calories down to around 1000-1200 a day and get in the gym on the elyptical mach. for an hour and watch your body transform.

heather: hi eric i see what you are saying but Hydroxycut's actual MOTTO is "Hydroxycut - Lose Weight Fast!!" So therefore, the company is ENCOURAGING people to think that's what this does. Are you saying its our fault for believing what the company says? That seems a bit unfair. Also, while I'm glad you didn't suffer any of the highly unpleasant side effects of Hydroxycut, i have to say that I did and i HATED it. I had a racing heart and anxiety, headache, nausea, and flushing. I couldn't sleep at night and was tired during the day. I have NOT given up on my health, and I do appreciate your encouragement, but Hydroxycut is not the way for me. I feel like Hydroxycut was HARMFUL to my health. Whatever works, i guess! For me, Hydroxycut isn't it.

Dan: I have tried everything before hydroxycut and nothing worked. I weighed 195lbs and started using Hydroxy cut about 7 months ago.I also stop drinking soda and drank water all day long like it called for and went to the gym about 1-2 times a week. I also watched what i ate and now weigh 153lbs. So i lost about 42lbs in 7 months. I have had no side affects and i get the pills for 19.99 at target. It calls for 2 before each meal and i only take 1 to get more our of each bottle. So far so good so i will continue to use it.

leanne: Hydroxycut just made me feel jumpy and nervous and it made my heart beat way out of control. I hated the way i felt with this. and worst of all, it made me eat out of nerves (And nausea). So i never lost any weight and i felt just TERRIBLE,..,

Annelize Rossouw: Got rash after using produbt for 5 days....Not real significant weight loss either

hydroxy=bad: Notice that anyone on here that says hydroxycut is good are the same people that changed their diet and work out a lot. Wow, you think you're gonna lose weight? Of course. Wake up!!!! U didn't lose weight because of hydroxycut. I have been taking this crap for a few days. It is pure dog crap. I had fun dreams; fun meaning they were all about stress. I also enjoyed the dehydration (bullshit about 80 oz. a day). It was fun almost puking before I arrived on thanksgiving. Yes, I followed the instructions on not eating 30 - 60 mins before or after a meal; not to mention don't use 5 hrs before bed. What a complete rape this product is!!!!!!

valerie: even WITH changing my diet and exercise habits, i still was not happy with hydroxycut, bcs I felt strung out. i took the pills for 30 days and i was losing weight but my head was spinning, i was sweaty and felt very ill in my stomach. i kept the same exercise routine but switched to miracleburn the next month,lost twice as much weight (14 lbs vs 7) and had no side effects.

Jackie: Honestly, i just tried this product 5 hours ago, right before a work out. I know i haven't given it enough time for the side effects to kick in, but i have DEFINITELY seen a change. I normally get fast food after a work out(Jack in the box tacos are only 3 points on the weight watchers program, and are also vegetarian :) ). Now, I normally get 4 tacos and curly fries and finish it all off. This time i could only get through 2 tacos and barely any fries before i felt like i didn't want to eat anymore. I have gained 40 pounds since my son was born, and im 5'9" and weigh 160 lbs now. This is an OK weight for me, but i am just taking the pills to give me more energy to work out. I bought it for $20 (72 caps) at Walgreen tonight. I know it isn't a miracle drug, but really people, you have to be strict with yourselves. Don't blame the pill for not working if all your going to do is eat McDonald's and watch TV.

Jennifer: Your post is a bit confusing Jackie, you just bought hydroxycut "tonight" but yet took it 5 hours ago before working out? Not sure it makes sense. Anyway, I took hydroxycut for about a month and beside making me feel like I was loosing my mind, It didn;t do much to make me loose fat. I do not eat any fast food, I am 22 and 108lbs trying to go down to 101-102lbs. I had seen a advertisement in US magazine and the girl looked just like what I wanted, a toned thin body. Unfortunately the product only made me be mean to my boy friend and have major headache after my work out. I don't think it is a safe product and I am so very glad we have a blog like this one to spead the word. And they should stop advertising in magazines that sell beauty to young girls like me. I have a little sister who is 14 and loves reading those magazines. Not cool.

John: Hydroxycut is a great. The trick is to drink alot of water. You should drink at least a gallon a day. When you take the pill drink 8 fluid ounces of water and more through the day.You are going to lose 20lbs of the back. You need to diet,follow Hydroxycut's instuctions on taking it,and hard workouts.It takes about 2 months.

Gigi: A GALLON a day?? Are you CRAZY John?? I don't think I could ever down that much water with or without Hydroxycut. I've been taking this for 2 weeks and drink maybe a liter a day, and I pee nonstop. If I had to drink more to make this work, I think I would lose my mind. Or my job.

Ana: If I'm gonna drink that much water, I want to see the results. I tried to stay hydrated with Hydroxycut but it was difficult and I still would get the shakes. I did work out harder than normal but, after a month, i concluded it was not worth continueing the pill. The Slim shot Diet drinks are better anyway..you get your H2O while drinking the packets. I've already lost 7 lbs in 13 days.

Twatina: I LOVEEEE HYDROXY CUT BECAUSE IT MAKES ME HAPPY!

Irene: So far I have lost 4 lbs on Hydroxycut, over a 17 day period. I am also exercisign a lot and feel pretty good..except for the extra sweating. DId anyone else experience this, and when can I expect it to go away? At this point I would say thats the only nuisance about these pills.

Susan W.: If that's the only side effect you have from Hydroxycut, Irene, consider yourself lucky! Me, I had cold sweats, hot flashes, the shakes, and a pounding headache on this stuff! I used up the bottle in hopes that I would start to feel better, but when it came time to get another, I said forget it, its not worth my health. Oh, and I only lost 2.5 lbs. THumb down.

Fresco: I just stole... er bought about 50 bucks worth of hydroxycut cuz the commercial sounded like it worked. I haven't tried it yet and I'm reluctant to cuz of all these comments here. I doubt it'll hurt. Bottoms up.

jwilli: they do have a caffeine free hydroxycut, i don't get the jitters, though i do have to go to the bathroom more. it seems to give me a little more energy in the gym

laura: I have to say, i think Hydroxycut has gone right down the drain! I tried it a few years ago and it made me jittery and all that stuff, but now it doesn't seem to do ANYTHING. I realize a lot of you are saying that it made you feel sick and gives you side effects, but I gotta say i thought it was just weak all around. Nothing happened for me when i tried it. Maybe i used a different formula. Alls i know is it was inefffective. i switched to Slim10 and boy, now that is a diet pill., i started seeing results within the first week.

nicole: * Hydroxycut * I've been taking this for about 4 weeks now. I work out 6 days a week/1 hour. And for the last week I've had the worst headaches of my life. I do NOT recommend this product to anyone.

drea: I love hydroxycut. I started taking it in july with no additional exercise I managed to drop to from 180 lbs to 135 by October 31st. I liked the strong caffene buzz I got from it and it actully helped to improve my disposition. I really dig hydroxycut and would strongly reccomend it to any active healthy adult. It is NOT good for you if you happen to be the couch potato type because the energy boost is not to be underestimated. ( side note. It was hydroxycut hardcore.)

Brenda: Also took Hydroxycut Hardcore and wow, the energy was crazy! I used to run and was excited to get back into it with this product...since I couldn't sit still, i figured i shuld take the opportunity to burn it all off. well i pushed too hard the first day and was totally sore. so for the next week, being too sore to move, i was just crawling out of my skin. and then hte headaches! my GOD! i wanted to die. i drank more water than ever before and still, they wouldn't go away. My friend told me about nuPhedrine and I am going on that next. This is no good.

Daniel: I lost almost 60 pounds over about 4 months using this... It did curb my apetite

Kman: With a balanced diet (healthier food, no soda or junk), some exercise and discipline - Hydroxycut works. The first time I used it (WITH the above mentioned) I lost 22 lbs in around 2 1/2 months. I stopped for a few months, then again losing another 13 lbs in 3 months, but you MUST be discipline.

Elisabeth_KY: I am all about being disciplined but when you take a supplement that makes you feel so nervous and even more hungry than if you do not take it, it becomes a real challenge to remain disciplined with food. I did work out harder when I took hydroxicut but I also ate more. I just stopped taking it after one month simply because the mild weight loss (3lbs total) was not worth the side effects.

susan: HYDROXYCUT CAUSED ME TO HAVE PANIC ATTACKS AND SWEAT IT WAS DISCUSTING AND I COULDNT SLEEP HALF THE TIME WITHOUT TAKING A SLEEPING PILL THEN I STARTED GETTING CHEST PAINS IN ALL THIS TIME THE ONLY WEIGHT I LOST WAS 3 LBS INITIALOLY WHICH WAS GAINED BACK. SORRY BUT THIS IS BAD NEWS.

Mary in WA: I just bought it at walgreens for $20. I will have to update you all in 2 weeks if it is working or not. P.S. to all the people concerned about the water intake amount with the pills you are supposed to drink 8 8oz of water everyday because our body is made up of 70% water. I will updae u guys soon. 1/6/09

~BoBBiE~: I love this product I don't have any complaints at all I work nights and it gives me the extra caffine I need to pull a 12hr shift... I can switch to days and take it then and be just fine also.

Cathy: My main complaint with Hydroxycut is that it's not working. I'm not loosing any weight. I am trying to keep my intake fairly low, but i am not starving, and i am exercisng daily, but nothing is happeneing. I would have thought the Hydroxycut would be he;ping my progress, but it just isn't.

Rob: I've been using Hydroxycut for about two months and its been working great! I'm a body builder with a relatively low fat percentage to start with. During my cut periods I take it with a good diet and great work outs and it has done miracles for me. I wish I could post my after pictures on here because i'd put those TV models to shame

Melanie: It's been about a month still I first started using Hydroxicut and so far I have lost 2lbs. Not really what I had in mind when I read all of ads. The only good thing is that it gives me energy to workout a bit longer but the it also makes me be more hungry which i try to resist but I don't always succeed. I won't buy it again.

Christina: Hydroxycut - I have to say I think it is funny that all of us who need to lose weight bought this fake and silly product. It gives more caffine and that's about it. If you are suffering side effects be smart and take down your doses to one pill a day or two for energy but don't expect it to change your life. I think it's also hilarious that us fatties feel that we are going to lose weight from a pill instead of getting up and doing it the good ol' smart way and excercising and eating right. Any time you eat the right amount of calories in your day and excercise regularly then you can lose the weight. I tried this and it's only giving me energy but I only do one packet of stuff a day and won't be buying more. I need to take control of my life and do the work if I want it to come off and stay off. There is no cure for laziness. If you have the control to drink the water before every meal you will fill fuller faster without any pill. This product doesn't work. Healthy living does. I am a product of just working hard at it instead of waiting for some magic bean to cure my laziness.

Nadine: Hi, Christina: you sound like a fatty-hater, but i agree with you to an extent. A stimulant pill like Hydroxycut is not gonna perform miracles it is just going to make you anxious and jittery and sick. i lost water weight with this, nothing more. I do think though that some pills really can help curb your appetite, and i prefer ones without any stimulants or caffeine. Right now i am taking hoodia P57 in conjunction with diet and a daily walk. And I'm doing quite well.

scaried2death: Hydroxycut - It's 12:52am and I've been trying to go to sleep since 10:00pm. My heart is racing and I can't sleep. This product is horrible. I've only taken it for 5 day but it feels like it will kill you if you continue....STAY AWAY

nena29: Hello everyone, well here is my experience with hydroxycut, i bought it 5 days ago and the first two days i had a horrible headache so i figured i had to drink more water and the first night on this product i felt very energized and i just wanted to get out of my bed and release all the enrgie i did not sleep all night so the next day i got up early took the hydroxycut went to the gym and had a really good work out i been drinking alot of water and i don't have any more headaches i feel normal again as long as i work out and stay hydrated. but i'll keep you posted. it's funny it seems that this website has alot of bad reviews but other websites have good reviews i mean i did a research before buying hydroxycut and a a few days later i find this website.

nena29: p.s the ingridients in hydroxycut are green tea and wu-long(oolong) tea and these are really good fat burners especially if you have high triglycerides that is why i bought the product. do the research on these teas.ok i hope that helped.

Devon, PDX: Well its a good thing you found the REAL site, welcome! My experience with Hydroxycut was awful and its a relief to find others that share my opinion on this, I am beginning to think the others were just company marketing or somethng. And also, I fell into the Wu Yi source tea scam right before this, not realizing that it was one of the ingredients in hydroxycut. Besides the company putting unauthorized charges to my Visa, the tea itself was nasty tasting, and caused heart palpitations! ONe cup and I couldn't sleep all night! I only lasted a few days on that stuff, and as soon as I started feeling a little anxious with Hydroxycut i I put an end to this too. I don't know, but, I won't be looking for anything that has any tea in it now, I don't need that kinda reaction again.

bill: ive been taking hydroxycut for 3 weeks, and have had no problem sleeping, or drinking 10 cups of water, i actually drink about a gallon a day. have not had weight loss, but im way more energized, and more motivated to work out.

Tracie: Hydroxycut - ONe thing is for sure this product does not work, I lost weight because I was exercising and eating right but when I took the pills it made me nauseated and have TERRIBLE headaches.

charley: this product does work if you follow the directions if you happen to be sensitive to the caffeine cut the dosage back & dont take about 6 hrs before bed. if you sit on ur ass allday & continue to eat crap all day u will not lose wait. you dont gain 20 lbs overnite so ur not gonna lose it overnite

Kylie: HYDROXYCUT is not worth the headaches and stomach problems. Even at a low does,I was feeling queasy & jittery. It did not make my 4 lb weight loss a pleasant experience. I'm preferring my stimulant free hoodiaP57 to this. i will not give anyone advice just wanted to state my feelings & experience with this.

Laura: I took hydroxycut about 2 years ago but stopped because of scary side affects of taking the product for less than a week. I had nose thick nose bleeds. It really freaked me out and I stopped immediately and saw my doctor. I had nose bleeds for two weeks after I stopped taking hydroxycut. It did suppress my appetite and I lost 3 pounds in less than a week but the side affects were not worth it.

SST: Would not recommend. Was taking for about 6 days. Made my stomach upset and heart race. Could not sleep. Just felt terrible. In my mind Hydroxycut rip off.

Amanda: I'm on my 4th day of hydroxy cut and I've lost 3 lbs. And the caffiene is not bad at all. I think one pill is the same as two cups of coffe it said. I don't feel dizzy or jittery. It's been that little extra push that I needed.

jazz: Hydroxycut is a supplimet, to help you lose your weight.// it is not a miracle drug or somthing that will allow you to have the body that you want right away.//if you have the right nutrition and workout, you will see the results that you want.// using the product will allow you to be focus on this.//

Anonymous: Hydroxycut works as long as you eat right and exercise and if you exercise you should be drinking that much water anywayz! Its not going to work if you just sit on your ass and yes will definitly make you sick. Get up and move your ass around and quit crying!

Sheri: I tried Hydroxycut for 2 weeks, exercised 5 days/week stopped snacking and gained 5 lbs. If you take the pills it seems as if they are a meal replacement and can't eat. 1000 calories daily with exercise should lose not gain. I'm throwing them away waste of money or not.

Mischa: While I was taking Hydroxycut I didn't feel like myself, I felt really wired & absent minded. I don't see a reason for taking pills that made me like that, whether or not I lost weight. Its not about being lazy its about not feeling like I;ve gone mad! Thumb down for this.

NoGo: Okay so I was taking Hydroxyvut - as directed - for 3 months and exercising about 4-5 days a week, 30-45 minutes of cardio plus strength training. I got this to help burn fat & cut cravings but it was not so helpful. I would just be STARVED after working out & ate more frequently. I didn't gain weight, i actually lost 6 lbs in this time but, I think it was my own efforts & not hte pills. I can say this because, I added Slim 10 pills to my diet last month and lost 3x as much, still exercising the same, but eating less. I guess you just need to find what works for you, this didn't for me.

Sara: I used hydroxycut, i thought it worked amazing! not only did it give me more energy but i burned more calories while working out. The pounds just fell off. The product probably doesnt work for everyone, but you cant just sit at home and be lazy and expect it to lose the weight for you... you still have to get out there and work out and eat healthy..

Crystaloo: I've been doing the Hydroxycut Instant Drink Packets since Tuesday. (Sorry if you don't want to hear this) but... I started my period the Sunday and Monday before starting to take the Hydroxycut, and I was having my period flow as I normally would, then when I started doing the drink packets on Tuesday, I basically stopped having my period to where I was only spotting, which was happening as well as on Wednesday and Thursday. It just makes me wonder what this product is really doing to my body, as well as others. But I continued taking it on Friday too, and I could feel my heart just beating fast and feel my blood pressure rising, while just sitting at work. I ended up having to go outside and cool myself off. I did not notice AT ALL any increase in energy NOR appetite suppressant while using Hydroxycut. I do not recommend this product. Waste of time/money.

Bill: My wife became hooked on Hydroxycut diet pills after the birth of our son, who is two now. I can tell the difference between brands when she switches by her moods. I can't stand any of these products, and really wish that they would all be banned. We have actually have had arguments about her taking them. She will then sneak them just like an addicted smoker would sneak a cigerette, hiding it from their spouse. It is my opinion that the negative effects of all of these products outway the positive effects. She has constant migraines and is irritable all of the time. I understand that a lot of women feel the need to loose weight after giving birth, but I feel that this is a hard time already with hormones changing and added respondsibilities and such, that componded the problem with drugs that cause adverse effects is not the best answer. Please think twice about taking any Hydroxycut products. There are other, more healthy, ways of looseing weight.

michelle: i just wanted to lose like 7-10lb. im already slim, i just wanna be able to reveal the muscle hidden from my sobering up. Hydroxycut made my head and my stomach feel horrible for hours and i just wanted to sleep it off but the immense amount of caffiene would not let me. it doesnt work, its overrated and i get no sleep. it sucks.

bill: i left a statement a few weeks ago saying i liked the energy hydroxycut gave me, but hadnt had any weight loss. well i got thru the bottle and still have not lost any signifigant amount of weight. i only needed to lose about ten pounds and have only lost about two. the energy was good but the results are not. if all i wanted was energy id just take caffeine pills.

mindy: I'm reeling with nausea after my first two-pill Hydroxycut dose. Had a hard time sleeping last night after taking only one pill, so I'm in for it tonight. I feel like crap---wish I'd checked this site before wasting my money.

Sara: Hrdroxycut works for me great! It decreases my appetite and increase my metabolism, which is perfect. I've becoming a lot more leaner with Hydroxycut. Aslong as you use the product by directions it will work. I still drink my coffee too but i drink more water now. The only downside is sometime i feel dizzy when i first take it in the morning, sometimes i reduce my intake by 50% and it still works.

Ann N.: Oh boy Sara, u hit the nail right on the head: DIZZY! That's how I felt within 20 minutes of taking hydroxycut in the morning, and then I would have sudden spells throughout the day! IT was kinda trippy, I couldn't get used to it. The 3 lbs I managed to lose during the month were not worth it.

Bethany: Most of you posting negative reviews probably do not eat properly or exercise regularly. You have to work hard and give it your all. There is no miracle pill for losing weight. You can't take a diet supplement of any kind, sit around and do nothing all day, while stuffing your face with hamburgers and cookies and expect to lose weight. It doesn't work that way. Hydroxycut is one of the most popular and best selling diet supplement's on the market right now and is available in stores. Anything you have to purchase online should not be so easily trusted.

Chelle: Excuse ME, Bethany, what are you, monitoring all the posters behaviour? Where do you get off making such a nasty accusation?? And, how do YOU know Hydroxycut is one of hte best selling products, do you work for them or something? I am an active woman with just an extra 12 lbs that needs to go, and I will tell you, Hydroxycut was not a benefit to me wahtsoever. I drank a TON of water and STILL had headaches and exercised for 60 minutes a day, 6 days a week (like i have been doing for 5 months). Two weeks on this was just torture! I was not expecting an instant weight loss but I did not expect to feel so awful. THUMB DOWN!

olivia scott: what i think is that maybe hydroxycut is so popular only because everone has herd of it. i seen so many commercials and it sits on the top shelves at duane read and thats why picked it up. thought it was gonna be decent but it caused me to feel super hungry but sick ever time i did eat. yeah i lost weight (7 lbs in 30 days) but i didn't feel right. And then the weight came back quick, within 2 weeks.

Lena: Hydroxycut made me feel nasuase and anxious. I switched to just plain Hoodia caps (hoodiaP57) and also, started going to a new cardio kickboxing class at the gym. I eat less and burn who knows how many calories but its working btter this way for me. Minus 13 lbs in 3.5 weeks.

Jennifer: I have been using Hydroxycut Hardcore for about 5 months and working out and eating healthy. It definetly gives me energy, but also makes me jittery. I have went from 168 lbs to 148, but not sure how much Hydroxycut had to do with it. I can't take the full dosage because then I can't sleep so I just think you have to be careful when taking it and hard work is more effective than any pills! I still use the product because it makes me sweat more during my workout, so overall I would say I like it, but it depends on the person.

Max: I am obviously the wrong consumer for Hydroxicut. I am 189lbs and need to go down to 120. I was not aware I had to exercise so much in order for it to work, I can also walk and it seems like it is not enough. I even started to watch my calories but still, one pound lost in 2 weeks is just not good enough for me.

Mateo: It's called commitment people. It says over and over again to be used with proper diet and exercise. They're not claiming it to be a miracle pill because obviously such a thing doesn't exist. It's merely a metabolism-booster TO AID in helping you burn fat. If you eat healthy and feed your body fewer calories than it will put on less weight. If you exercise along with a low-fat diet, that in turn speeds up metabolism. Learn to use the product right and understand what it does before you all bash it for sucking so badly. The problem isn't the pill, it's you. I've been using hydroxycut for a couple months and aside from the loads of caffeine I've found no problem with it. My appetite is curved and I have been slimming down slowly but surely. I recommend hydroxycut as a convenient boost for anyone who needs it. But if you're just going to sit on your butt and whine because you think the pills are going to melt the fat off your body then don't waste your time.

STARVING: STARTED ON HYDROXYCUT 3 DAYS AGO.ON DAY TWO I STARTED FETTING HEAT FLASHES,SUDDEND OUTBURSE OF SWEAT, AND VOMITTED.I AM ALL SO EATING MORE, HAVE BAD GAS AND SENDING ME TO THE TOILET SEVERAL TIMES ADAY. ONLY GOOD THING IS THAT IT KEEP ME WHILE MY WIFE BORES ME WITH HER CONSTANT NAGGING ABOUT HER WORK DAY.

Anonymous: I had taken Hydroxycut about 10 years ago. I lost about 20 lbs in just 1 month! I have since purchased this product and it doesn't work as well, however, this is not a magic trick here people! You can not expect to take a pill and do nothing else to control yourself. I have been taking this product for 1 week. I go to the gym at least 3-5 times per week EXERY WEEK and just needed a little boost. I find that this product gave me the energy I needed to get out there and bust it! If you get a headache, feel dizzy, or still stuff your face, I guess you need to question your commitment and what you are willing to deal with to look good. NO PAIN NO GAIN! We put ourselves into our "FAT" bodies...now we must sacrifice to get out of it. Stop making excuses AMERICA!

Anonymous: I actaully posted the last comment and forgot to add that even though I have been going to the gym for ever, I had no luck losing weight until now. I have been taking this product for 1 week and went from 182 to 175 lbs during that time. I have had a granola bar for breakfast, a meal suppliment shake with xtra protein for lunch and either a VERY small dinner or a few alcoholic drinks instead of eating. VERY hungry but that is still 7 lbs in 5 days. Would you rather be dizzy or fat? I say dizzy any day!

Papa J.: Yeah well, maybe 10 years ago Hydroxycut was the shizit I used to take it & loved it,just accepted the side effects as par for the course: if I wanna lose fast, I wil be jittery, sleep-deprived and somewhat nauseous. However, my friend, Hydroxycut is king no longer. Diet pills have come a long way, this last year when I wanted to lose weight I took a look to see what was out there. Slim 10 has a higher ranking & I went for that. Believe it or not,its possible to feel goOD while losing weight, thats what I've found. Diet & exercise still the same, constant as ever, only know, I'm losing the 30+ lbs I've put on over the years. 17 down so far, only been a month.

Chianna Gonsalves: well ive only beeen taking this Hydroxycut for approx. 2/3 days and i can really feel the side affects diareha*, headaches, stomach aches feeling nautuous*.... however i do feel it working... basically you have to ask yourself " Am i willing to sacrafice feeling like shit, drinking loads of water, and eating healthy to loose weight".... For most of you that will probably be a NO!!! But Others like me..... Why not? ... u c its not just about looks for me... i am a swimmer asnd i need to speed up my cardio vascular and my ability to stay in shape ... i hope this product gives me the results im looking for..

M: I've been taken it for 3 days now and lost 3lbs already. It's true, I definitely sleep less since I take it, but I've never had a good sleep, anyway. So, in a couple of days I will write again and let you know about the changes.

Pat: Been taking it for 2 weeks now and I do have some headaches. Did someone say Oprah recommends a diet supplement? Why isn't she taking it then.

Belinda t.: with Hydroxycut I lost a bit of weight too at first, about 4 lbs in 12 days. but i felt horrible and to me, no, that's not worth it, not when there are better pills -such as nuphedrine for one-that work and do not cause the same atrocious side effects. i don't know about oprah pat or what she takes but she could benefit from nuphedrine too, this is where i get it http://www.nuphedrine.com

Big Al: OH MY GOD ... i had no idea fat people where so $#@^ stupid....listen ... there is a reason you are fat (same as me) you won't get off your fat ass and do something ...you can't expect a "miracle" pill use your heads people ... if ANYTHING worked the way you envisioned it would be FAR more than 100 bucks a month ...no hydroxycut won't work if you take your pill and hit the damn buffet...oh it gives me headaches .. FOLLOW the directions drink 10 8oz glasses of water a day.. duh caffiene dehydrates you..it makes me sick .. well stop taking it .. everyone reacts to things differently .. penicillin ... my kid brother just has to touch it and not wash his hands can kill him... worked fine for me i mean use your head ... you have to MOVE around ... you have to make an effort... and don't get me started on oprah .. er harpo :D ...and in closing if you're gonna eat like a cow .. yer gonna look like a cow

THIS GIRL..: PEOPLE!!!The whole point of WHY you are getting these headaches and jitters from the caffeine is because you are just relying on the pill to make you lose weight while you do nothing about it..You think it's just another supplement that you take and you expect to have great results..WELL you do realize that you have to exercise to make the process work you need to exercise to work off that caffeine HIGH!!! thats the while point..it boosts your energy to put you into that major work out mode to give you amazing results!!

joyce: why are you so angry "big al"? its kind of hurtful the things you said. you said for people who feel sick on hydroxycut, "Well stop taking it." i did stop taking it!! aren't am i allowed to warn others on this blog? i guess I should have just stopped taking it and shut my big fat mouth?? hmm. i guess i thought this web site was about opinions and expereinces, and helping each other. but i doubt someone as hateful as you is on here to help.

larry & Shel: I agree that hydroxycut pretty much lost its power after Ephedra was banned. its just a lame little caffeine pill now, no real fat burning capacity. its had its day.

Will505: I guess I have to offer a disclaimer, Im a fit male that works out 5-6 days a week on both cardio & weights, so for me its not specifically about weight loss. It is about reducing my percentage of body fat marginally, which will result in somewhere between 10-20 pounds over about 4 months. I have been taking it (only 2 doses per day, not the recomended 3)for less than a week. The result is that my appetite is curbed, & I have more energy which allows for longer more intense workouts. This has resulted in about 3-4 pound drop in weight, for more than what I had expected. The important thing to understand here is that I am not using it as a diet aid, but an excercise aid. No doubt that the Hydroxycut is responsible for some of the wieght drop, but the primary cause has been the amped up work outs. On rest days I can only take one dose, without getting jittery or a headache, but I find that an intense work out mitigates those side effects. The point I would make to anyone trying this, is that if you want to see results fast, & would like to reduce the side effects, use the extra energy boost to excercise & you will see weight melt away! If you just take it & don't excercise it seems like a waste,,,,also your body will adapt to it overtime & it will be less effective over time. If your experence is like mine, you will prob get the best bang for the pill early on.

kristy: Hydroxycut - No weight loss.

norma j: Basicaly I am a fit person, who exercises constantly. I have recently turned 50 and see some softer areas than i used to have so i thought, i could try the hydroxycut to just burn away some of the fat. i got a nice boost of energy and felt good at first but even after a hard workout i could not sleep well at night. and then i started getting some dizzy spells. This was within a month and I did see a 2 lb loss but at a price.

Brent: When i took Hydroxcut I felt more alert but then I would get weak in the middle of workouts. I think what it did was, prevented me froma ctually eating enough calories, for the amount of trainign i was doing. I would just feel sick if I ate too much and maybe that prevented me from going as hard at the gym. All I know is, I felt like crap and performed worse than ever o this. THumb down.

kathy: I have been taking Hydroxycut for abt a week and it has mostly been helping with the cravings which has been my biggest problem lately and also with my energy level. I do agree with many of the comments I have read here though. If you drink lots of water, eat right and less than you were, and exercise, you should lose weight regardles....in a perfect world.

reesa: Gee, well i just feel terrible with Hydroxycut, i can't even believe weird feeling I have with this the very worst is not being able to sleep at night. I often check the clock, 2, 3, 4:00. sometimes it is 5 am before i finally ddrift off, and i have to wake up at 7 aybody else have this happen to em? Maybe if i were loseing the weight this might be ok, but i am not loseing and its really not ok. i'm going to have to stop.

Steve: Alot of people think you just take the pills and weight falls off. Not the case... YOU HAVE to work out and DIET RIGHT I lost 15lbs in 3 weeks. IT WORKS.

kim: i am loseing weight and sleeping no acne no side effect at all i even drink energy drinks with my pills.Every body is different what works for me may not work for you.good luck to all

emily: I've always had trouble losing weight. With Hydroxycut I lost 19 pounds my first month though. You have to work out though and change your eating habits. There are no miracle drugs out there and if you're lazy, then you just won't lose weight. You can get a little jittery at first but you shouldn't have a hard time falling asleep if you FOLLOW the DIRECTIONS (duh) and don't take them too late in the evening. They do make a Caffeine-free option now. It just comes down to making a commitment to change your lifestyle and not JUST depend on a diet drug. Come on people- don't be lazy! If you aren't excercising and eating right you'll gain it all back when you stop taking it! I lost a total of 45 pounds using Hydroxycut and I've maintained that for a year since I stopped taking it.

Shelley: I started Hyroxycut a few months ago, and I did loose weight. However, when I stopped working out, I stopped loosing weight, big surprise. I got used to the caffeine and it took a few nights for me to learn to sleep again. It DOES curb appetite. Unfortunately, about a month into it I developed kidney pains from it so I recently quit. Now I am dealing with massive headaches from lack of caffeine.

jewel_go: I took Hydroxycut about a year ago. I thought it worked great. I took it for less than 1 month and I lost close to 15 pounds. After reading the comments on this site- both for Hydroxycut and Leptopril- it sounds like people are expecting the pills to do all the work for them. They can help with increasing metabolism and things like that, but if you don't have the drive and willpower then no matter what you use you won't loose weight. Cravings will always be there- no pill can take that away. You just have to have the commitment to a healthier lifestyle. The pills are just there to help- not to do the job for you.

Cammie: Ok well, I just spent a good hour reading through these comments before wanting to post my own on Hydroxycut, and its interesting how people can interpret things so differently. I see a whole lotta comments implying people are lazy if they don't loose but what I've read from the MAJORITY of posts here, is a lot like my own experience with these pills. I felt sick and anxious while taking them. Of course I exercised, but that did not make that queasy "stomach churning over" feeling disappear. Losing 3 lbs and feeling horrilbe is just not worth it to me.

angie: totally crashed hard on hydroxycut, it was bad. i was on the treadmill, going strong and then got a cramp in my side and had to stop running. same thng happened every day for a week and i slept fine, since i was burnt out but i just didn't feel right, the ups & downs. threw 'em out after 11 days it hink.

cat: I was reading all of your coments good bed doesn't mery. i know one thing if you not going to gave up on somthing i dont care what you gone take you wont loose weight. hydroxycut muy give you energy. but by having energy you would want to go to gem. and than you gone loose weight. you have too do somthing just pills wont help you. maybe you would want to eat,eat,eat take a pill and loose 3 lb next day that is not gone hapend you have to make 2 steps to get 1/4 off it good luck. by the way i start today

Sarah: I've only been using Hydroxycut (drink crystals) for the past two days but I have been able to tell a difference. Although I have experienced some negative side effects (nausea and light headedness) I can tell a difference in my appetite. I no longer have cravings and I find that I am eating less. Overall I would say that (at least so far) this is a decent product as long as you channel the extra energy through exercise.

teen's mom: My daughter took Hydroxycut for three weeks without my permission and without my knowledge. She developed a large abcess (cold sore like blister) in her cheek which made her face swell. She has been in bed now for three days - dehydrated and running high fever. Hydroxycut depleated her healthy system. While on Hydroxycut she ate healthy foods and exercised daily. I would advise against Hydroxycut - the "rapid weight loss" did not occur and there are healthy life style changes that would result in the same weight loss.

Former User: For about 4 mos I was using the Hydroxycut Original formual pills and absolutely loved it at first. i was super energized, and exercising more often. Sometime in the second month I started getting chest pains..I didn't make the connection right away, not fo r a few days. THen I just reduced the dosage to just before workouts, I woudl take them . I was losing a little weight, and working out hard. Has not been the best pill. And, I'm still 10 lbs overwiehgt.

Dwayne J: I took Hydroxycut last year and within 2 months lost a total of 24 pounds. I just started taking it again this year, for a week and already lost 2 pounds. You have to walk or workout. Try walking at least 2o minutes a day, and drink slimfast for lunch. It will work.

darlene: I think Hydroxycut has gone the way of all the former ephedra pills...they just load it up w/caffeine and it doens't work. no matter how much caffien you dump into a pill, it is not going to = ephedra. i didn't lose any weight on this when i tried it recently. oh well.

Samjiah: Yea, I have been working out for 6months trying to get off these 20 lbs. I havent lost a single pound. I tried Trilipono, Hoodia, and that Chinese Oolong tea. None worked. However, I started taking Hydroxy cut and have lost almost 2 lbs in one week with my regular workouts. Thats awesome! you don't want to try for more than that in one week anyway, it's not healthy and you will gain it all back if you lose it real fast.

RRgirl: Hydroxycut - I have not slept for two days, my mind is compeletly off track and I have serious gut rot. I feel like I am on speed. My body is aching and tired but my mind will not turn off.

Kimberlyn: I've used Hydroxycut in the past, and it did nothing for me. I was just going over the reviews and was glad to see it wasn't just me, who had that experience.

Jessi: I think this stuff is great i've been taking hydroxycut for 3 days and lost 5lbs and I havent lost any sleep and I feel great!!

chris: honestly any one that relies on a pill to have them lose a ridiculous amount of weight is dumb...sorry to be so harsh i started taking this a month ago and honestly its not much but i guarantee that at least 3 to 4 pounds out of the 10 i lost were due to the hydroxycut,even if its one pound every little bit counts its not holding me back..i eat healthy n i work out 7 days a week you want to lose weight i would suggest doing that and if you want that tiny extra push take hydroxycut because it has been nothing but help to me.

Trea: I like it! I started this diet Monday and the next day...some how...I lost FIVE pounds! lol it was crazy! Now its Thursday and so far I lost 7 pounds. I get a lot of energy.

amanda: Well i like the energy with Hydroxycut, i agree with yall on that. but I'm just not seeing any lasting weight loss with this. I noticed a quick drop in 4 lbs but then when i re-hydrated the wegiht came back, so i think that was just water weight. I never tried the "old" hydroxycut so i was coming into this without any preconceived notions. i just was pretty disappointed, overall.

Chelsea, MT: SUCH A BUMMER!! so many people, says they lost weight so quick with hydroxycut & I see it everyhere, thought it'd work for me too! I only lost one lb the first week! I gained about 11 lbs whle in college and recently, started to work out again. THought this would make me lose faster but all i got in two months was that one pd lost!! I so frstrated I want to cry!

G.G.: Used Hydroxycut along with a low fat veg. diet, logged lots of gym time. wanted to try & lose 17 lbs, no matter how long it took. i was the same weght after one month and also, had some elevated stomach issues (ibs) maybe from the increase in beans maybe from the product but i stopped anyway since i loss no weight while taking hydroxycut.

jen j: i love hydroxycut! it's not going to work on it's own, you do have to work out and eat right just like you would with any other diet pill.

Kelly: I love Hydroxycut! I just started it exactly a week from today and I have lost 10 pounds, no exaggeration. I noticed the faster heart rate that people are complaining about, and that has actually had a negative effect on my workout routine. I usually run about 2 miles most days, but since I started using the product I get out of breath too easily and have to stop. Hydroxycut curved my appetite remarkably. I normally love eating, but since i've been taking this I barely eat anything. I weighed 144 lbs. before I started, and I now weigh 133.4 lbs.! (7 days later!)

Jan: I took Hydroxcut for 1 month and lost lots of sleep from it, felt no energy boost, actually became lazier and my arms fill heavy, I greet my teeth all day, have headaches and full the neest to breath in heavy....and lost 6 bls with no exercising more laying around. I stopped it for 2 days and experienced a headache that wouldn't go away, slept better but ate too much. took 2 pills today and already feel lazy, sick to my stomach, tight jaws and trouble breathing andI know I"M going have trouble fallinga sleep, but will I stop taking, I don't know 6 lbs in 4wks with no exercise is nice, I only want to lose 10 more, but i do eat healthy and no sugars or in between snacks and lots of fruit.

Cindy: This is my First day using Hydroxycut. It is now 3:50am. Sure, I'm more energetic but who needs insomnia? I'll be crashing and wasted tomorrow I guess. Thowing out the $30 bottle and using a product recommended by this website.

Zeke: Is it really that bad? Cos I'm a morning person (up by 6am), works out 4 times weekly using free weights, eat mostly veg and fruits with some meats and carbs 5-6 times a day, drinks 8-10 glasses of mineral water a day, used Whey protein supplements. So was wondering will Hydroxycut help reduced some weights for that 'cut' feeling or should I avoid?

Kurt: When I used this, I had to make sure to not take it after 3 pm and I was fine, in terms of sleeping all night, etc. IF you take Hydroxycut too late, you WILL be sorry. And my commute does not allow me to work out in the mornings..not gonna get up at 5 am sorry. I like to work out in the evenigns and also, like to get a boost. I was not getting cut with Hydroxycut anyway so switching was no real big deal. Nuphedrine, is where its at, man, finally getting to where i wanna be. And I can take this at 5 or 6pm & sleep just fine.

sammy: hydroxycut is especially bad if you take it when you wake up early in the morning and your stomach is empty! blah

Jean V: People hydroxycut is not going to work without going to the gym is not a miracle pill, I have tried to diet and diet pills never work, but since i started taking Hydroxycut and working out i have lost 10lb in 4 weeks, you will get side effect if you don't work out, you have so much energy that it needs to be burn out by working out not siting in your couch like i used to do myself, I'm just an average 27yr and i normally don't waste my time posting comment online about diet pills, but this might help for people that are getting side effect just work out 1hr a day and you will see that your side effect will go away, PEOPLE if you buy this pill and don't plan to work out don't even think about taking it because the side effect will make you crazy but if you plan to work out this is THE WAY TO GO.

gabriella:  my experience with hyroxycut hardcore was a nightmare! I had experienced severe panic attacks and developed horrible anxiety. this is something I would definetly warn people against even if they experience the slightest bit of depression or anxiety, it is dangerous... the old truth about diet and exercise is correct, if you still are not losing the weight desired then maybe its a health issue or perhaps a reevaluation of self image would be necessary. overall even if you are not physically seeing results by exercising and proper eating at least your overall health would be benefitted from your efforts.

Katie_LubbockTx: I was hoping that Hydroxycut would help me with those between meal snack attacks that i get, esp. at work in the mid afternoon...but i got no results with this. it was strange, i wondered how this got to be such a popular pill when it didn't do anthing for me at all. Maybe what some of you are saying is true, that it kind of stopped working after ephedra got banned. alls i know is it didn't seem to work even a little for me. oh well, i tried.

Isaac: I used hydroxycut for 3 months and lost about 45lbs. It is not a wonder drug you have to put in the time and effort. I felt a little jittery at times but it just made me want to work out more. **Great Product**

schulz_usmc: I lost 12 pounds in almost 2 months. I started with regular Hydroxycut and then upgraded to Hardcore. I agree that it is NOT an appetite suppressant by any means. If anything, I feel hungrier! :) Hydroxycut is helpful to give metabolism a little boost and the extra energy is great for that extra motivation to exercise. However, it is not a magic pill. It is still necessary to change eating habits (calories, fat, carbs, protein) and exercise regularly. I was a big coffee drinker and even took caffeine pills sometimes. If you drink plenty of water during the day and eat small meals every 2 to 3 hours, the Hydroxycut will feel like a boost in natural energy and should eliminate the jittery feelings or headaches. I've seen results and will stick with Hydroxy. The only issue is the HIGH PRICE and I wake up constantly throughout the night now. Other than that, I'm seeing the results.

Catherine: Oh, my, i was worried about a possible appetite increase with Hydroxycut....in the past when i took "jittery" stimulant pills,. they often caused me to be hugnrier, either due to nerves or nausea, etc. My appetite is my biggest weakness & its the cuase of this extra weight. Thanks "schulz" for clarifiying that tthis isn't an appetite suppressant like i hoped. going to try to go cancell that order.

Hannah: well, i take hydroxycut and it helps me lose weight. not a ton but it does help. and it also gives me some major energfy...sometimes its a bit too much and i get jittery but when i need it, it helps.

sabrina: the energy's great w/hydroxycut, but the weight loss just didnt happen 4 me i didn't lose a lb. and i was still hugnry. i really liked the eenrgy boost maybe i will still take it for that but i need an appetite suprpessant or metabolism booster bcs this seems to be mostly caffein.

Mike Indy, In: Ive been taking it for 2 weeks and working out and I have lost 12lbs. Its not going to do anything if you just take the pill and not work out or eat the same. Good luck to everybody trying to loose weight.

melora: I have been taking hydoxycut combined with 1,400-cal diet and walking at a moderate pace on a treadmill in my house 2o min. 5 x per week. i think i feel a bit more energetic with hydroxycut. The thing that is driving me bonkers is that i have not lose tweight. I have been at this routine for about 2 mos now. Sometimes on weekends i will allow myself a "cheat day" of eating (not binging ) so called "no no " foods such as pizza. but then i go right back to my stricgt routine the next day, and i would think the cheat day might even help trick my metabolism. but so far there has been nothing. i feel like i have been doing my part but the hydroxycut seems like it's letting me down,.

seth: I've lost 50 pounds with Hydroxycut ive been on it for about 5 months now and i went from a size 36 to a size 30 this stuff works

Dr. House: So far so good. Down 10 pounds in about a week. sure, it's water weight weight, but that's what caffeine anhydrous is for. For everybody whining about the energy boost, i have a suggestion. Get off your lazy butt and use the energy. Afterall, that is what "energy" is there for (probably why we're a little over-weight, huh?) The point is, don't be stupid; do not expect to drop weight just because you take a supplement. Afterall (again) a supplement is only that, a supplement to your hopefully already healthy eaitng habits (oh, that's right, we don't eat healthy, we take "miracle" drugs and eat Taco Bell expecting to lose weight). Hope this makes sense, and if this makes you angry (you know who I'm talking to) take out your frustration on a treadmill.

Samantha: I work out 3 times week and I have for now 2 years. The reason I tried hydroxicut is because even though I am not overweight I always wanted to look like that those girls I see on US magazine, I want to be very thin and toned. I once saw that add in that same magazine and thought it sounded just like what I needed. I never wrote a feedback on any product before but this time I feel a need to do so. This product does not work anything like it is advertised, it is simply a bunch of caffeine that give you a so called energy or thermogenic effect but the truth is that it makes you even more tired of couple of hours later, very irritated and the worst was the hunger, it made me hungry at times I was usually good just with eating some raw nuts. with all of that said, Thumb down. I am still hoping to get that kick ass bikini body someday but It's probably gonna happen if I start increasing my workout sessions from 3 times a week to 4-5.

DannieGirl: I like Hydroxycut. It fits my lifestyle perfectly. And as for lack of sleep, I haven't noticed anychange but I wasn't getting much sleep before either. I am losing wieght which is a great bonus and I'm not hungry all the time, which is nice since I work at taco bell. I do crave the food, but the point is not to get rid of cravings (thats a mental thing) but to make you feel less hungry. Ingnoring the cravings is something you must deal with on your own. Appetite Curb does not mean No Cravings. I go to the gym everyday after work and I'm seeing great results. I'm not saying it will work for everyone, but it's definitly working for me.

ana: I just took my first pill of Hydroxycut like 30 min ago, and ifeel like going for a run. I dont drink any coffee but with this pill i really think i can get use to caffeine is not that bad, it just that you need to stay active, lately i been feeling really tired with no energy to run or even to walk my dogs, but with this pill i really think is going to work.

Kyle: For the first two weeks I was feeling really good on Hydroxycut but that energy rush has started to wear off. Has this happened ot anyone else?? I really want this to work, I want to lose 20 lbs..

Bethany n.: My Hydroxycut diet started out with a bang and then slowly petered off...I can totaly empathize with you Kyle. I have always worked out pretty regular but still had about 15 lbs of baby fat to lose. I figured, taking this pill would just help things along. I continued working out on the ellipical for 30-45 min/day, plus some moderate strenght changing. My diet is okay, I just started adding more fresh fruits & veggies. I lost 2 lbs week ONe, 2 lbs week 2, then nothng in the following weeks! I felt great and then started feeling MORE fatigued after a couple weeks. So strange. I dont know why that happened. BUt stopped taking after 2 months, switched to nUphedrine. Got rid of the weight in just over a month. I think these things just work different for everyone.

Sam: I started taking the new Hydroxycut with OUT Caffeine yesterday. It didnt make me sick or stay up all night. If made me not want to eat too! I like it so far :)

joan: I geuss my issue is, Hydroxycut is just not as powerful now that it no longer contains ephedrine. The Hydroxycut with caffeine still isn't as potent as a fat burner, it just causes some energy and sometimes jitters. The caffeine free formulation seems to do almost nothing for me. I just think this is a case of a pill that doesn't have much once you take away the ephedrine.

Nichole: I started using hydroxycut and lost five pounds in five days. The first day I did feel a little jittery but it passed and now it seems to be working for me pretty well.

leah: Well, i also noticed that you get a little used to the jitters after a while, which is good and stuff but I NEVER LOST ANY WEIGHT and this is my problem with hydroxycut! I didn't buy this stuff for energy, my goal was to lose 20 lbs. I am exerising 4 times a week as my schedule permits. i guess i was hoping hydroxycut would give me an added adavantage but so far, it hasn't.

sophia: I HEAR Hydroxycut used to be a good formula but now its pretty much useless. i treid it for 2 mos and nothing happened.

Veronica: didn't really lose weight and Hydroxycut made me sick

Anonymous: I am about half-way through my first bottle of Hydroxycut and I think that it is alright. Mainly, I feel that it just helps me to reach my goals by giving me more energy so that I am not too tired to workout after work. I also count calories and exercise regularly and have lost about 5 lbs so far. I can see that it is not for everybody though. I probably will try something else after this bottle is over.

MISTY: AFTER READING THESE COMMENTS IM SCARED TO TAKE IT NOW. IF ANYONE WHO LIKES IT U CAN BUY MINE FROM ME. PAID $ 20 PLEASE LET ME KNOW. DONT WANT TO REALLY WASTE IT. - Hydroxycut

janine m.: i don't feel that my weight loss is being enhanced at all by Hydroxycut. I am doing everything i am supposed to be doing but all Hydroxucut's doing is making me loose sleep at night, which leaves me tired. Loosing sleep is actualy quite bad for weight loss, and so, i think this is doing me more ham than good. I'm not loosing weight at all at this point,

Eager: I guess i am kind of torn....i have lost 19 lbs since Jan 3, so just over two months. I have been using Hydroxycut (but not the recommended dosage, i take a packet and a hlf of the powder mix before my workout. I have had more energy on the eliptical, and seem to be working out a lot longer than i ever used to. i dont think the appetite supression is valid, yet my coffee does not give me the kick for my workouts. The main other reason is my disciplined diet of fresh foods, vegetables, no processed or fast food. And that along with any routine of 40 minutes of cardio at about 146 BPM and then a resistance routine (weight training) of 30 minutes will produce results, but i do think i have burned a bunch more calories while on Hydroxycut. I am 33 male, and started at 195 and am down to 176-177. Be disciplined in your diet and exercise and results will be ther.

Clarky: I have been using Hydroxycut for 2 weeks. I have gained 7lbs, and I have a pretty extensive work out and diet program. It did make me more hyper, but that is it.

mel: also stil on my first bottle of hydroxycut and unsure about it. i am super super hyper and so i do push myself harder at the gym but i have not seen any weight loss (or gain, thank god) a s of yet. i think i may try a differnet product next month, if anyone knows a good one.

Susan P.: Not sure if it was the caffeine or what but something, in Hydroxycut did not agree with me. I just didn't feel like myself - i was nervous/anxious, my boyfriend even said I was twitchy! One day I noticed my hands shaking as i was driving anf that kinda freaked me out. The weight was coming off, at an okay rate i guess but I just ddint like the way I felt. I am no w taking Slim 10 and LoVE it! I feel awesome and am losing weight faster...11 lbs so far, its barely ben a month!

stev-o: I went through two bottles and exercised a little but it had no effect, Hydroxycut its too publicized if you ask me...i want a refund

Kayla: Well, this is only my 4th day taking Hydroxycut and Ive heard so many different opinions, but i honestly think that its going to work for me after a couple weeks or so. Mainly because everyday i see a difference on my body and I am fitting into my pants a little better already. The only thing that i do believe about hydroxycut is that like the third day it did seem like my appetite wasn't controlled as well as when i started taking it and that concerned me. Yet, other than that it has been working. Also people that say it didn't work, I honestly think that they probably didn't follow the directions, didn't exercise enough, follow a diet plan, or drink enough water.

Roxxy: J lost 40. pound w/ Hydroxycut i recommend to all my friends. ;)

Is it that bad?: I have a friend that used to weigh 206 lbs., and after using it for a year, weighs 160 lbs. She says that she has never exercised because she hates to. She took the pills and it caused her to get full quicker. She went from eating half a pizza to 1 or 2 slices of pizza in one sitting. She said that she stopped taking them recently and she still hasn't gained back the weight. If anything, she still has the small appetite. I started taking it two days ago. It gave me the runs and I kept feeling like I had to vomit. It left me full of gas, but I have never felt this grossed out by food. I should stop, but I feel like I should see if maybe my body is just not used to caffeine. I don't really like soda and hate caffeinated coffee. I love that I am disgusted by food, though. Don't know if that's a good or bad thing. I'm one of those people that can always eat. I'm always hungry even when I'm sick with the stomach flu and know that I'll vomit if I eat. I'm a 155 lb, 5'2 woman who needs to lose weight for my wedding which will be coming up in 3 months!

BENgarvin: I play D3 football in college so I was decently in shape but I wanted to find a quick way to get some of the fat around my stomach off for summer. I do not recomend this product. I followed all instructions listed on the Hydroxycut bottle, however, after less than one week I expirienced several side effects including nausia and a severly increased heart rate to the point where I had to be sent to the ER. Be very careful with this product.

Is it going to work?: i'm a big girl and my prom is coming up and ive tryed everything from water diet to being in the gym. i still go to the gym, but havent seen any results. I bought the Hydroxycut flavor packs for my water. I havent started taking it yet but would like to know has anyone done this and have they lost weight?

sandri: What I don't understand is why so many people love it because of the energy they get from it although no weight is loss. The product is advertised as a supplement to loose weight, with testimonials of people that loss so many pounds, ladies with defined bodies men with six packs... isn't that the reason we buy it? Has anyone actually said, "ok all I need is more energy so I'll use hydroxycut" I don't think so, I would guess that people buy it for a better body which is what it's advertised for... then why settle for something else? If that's all we get out of it; then it doesn't do it's job and that is false advertisement my friends. I wish I would of came across this blog before I got my bottle. I don't even know if I should continue to drink it. With the one pill on the first couple of days I did feel energized but no major discomfort I am afraid if I go up to the recommended dose I'd jumping off the walls and feel sick, feel my heart beating like crazy which is something I don't want to mess with...and if in the end I'm not going to loose any weight it's not worth it! - Hydroxycut

kay: ive been takeing hydroxycut for almost a week and with regular excercise i have lost 7lbs it has realy helped with my craveings for junk food and given me so much more energy i would realy recomend it to anyone it seems to be working for me!!!!

Janine Andrews: The reason I got Hydroxycut was to boost my metabolism and also, to cut my cravings. Seemed like, a good balanced way to loose the weight. I felt a little TOO hyper on this though, and didn't realy eat much less. I stayed on it for almost the entire month but for the last few days,stopped taking the pills. I only lost a lb, and I think thats cuz I was exercising a lot more than usual. Last week, I ordered Slim shot diet drinks, it had good reviews. they're similar to the flavor packs, in that you put it in water. Its only been a few days but, I am eating less & the energy, is just like, I feel more alert, not anxious/jittery. And I lost another lb so far, so i think I'm gonna do better on this :) I sure hope so!

NKS: I baught this product with high hopes and took as recommended. I was jittery and lightheaded and even got migraines. I did feel a little increased energy and appetite supression, however as I went up to the higher dosage I was so ill feeling that I could not work out. I didnt even want to get off the couch! I love to work out and just wanted something for the last ten pounds that doesnt seem to want to budge, for me this product did not work due to the ill feelings I felt while taking it.

CppChris: This is my first day taking Hydroxycut. Purchased it at Walmart for $18.88. I know for a fact that taking any diet pills/supplements require you to drink lots of water and work out. I plan to take Hydroxycut till I finish the bottle. While I'm taking it, I will be going to the gym every day. My work out sessions will be 10 mins on the tredmill going 5.5 mph, bench press (135+ lbs), abs (crunches, sit ups), and possibly squats. I am currently 210 pounds, 5'7". I'm built, but most of my weight is in my gut due to too much beer. It's about time to work it off. I will let yall know if there is a change throughout this week.

Tiffany: I was surprised, I actually felt full on Hydroxycut. I, though, did not use pills. I used the drink packets, so it could have been the two glasses of water you had to drink. And, to be honest, the drinks had an after-taste and looked like pee (lemonade was the flavor) but it really worked for me. In about a week, I lost 5 pounds (maybe water weight) but three weeks later, I had dropped a jean size. For those that said it gives you insomnia, it says do not take 5-6 hours before bedtime, because it contains caffeine. And for those who said they did not lose weight, you cannot just take a pill and expect it to make you lose weight. You need to cut some calories and exercise. No matter what you take, you won't lose weight unless you cut calories and exercise.

Anna: DO NOT TAKE IT!!! I wanted to lose weight after I had my baby.... It is horrible feeling, nervous all the time, hyper? cant control your anger, my heart doesnt feel good and after I really got mad at my baby and yelled at him for nothing I started to think... He didnt do anything wrong it is just something wrong with me..OMG.. I dont know what this thing is doing to you, I feel like I went nuts.... I'm stopping it right now...PPL u dont need this... - Hydroxycut

b: CUTTING CALORIES AND EXERCISING IS THE KEY TO THIS WHOLE WEIGHT LOSS THING. I AGREE THE HYDROXYCUT MAKES YOU A LITTLE HYPER BUT I TRY TO FOCUS ALL THE ENERGY ON EXERCISING. I'VE LOST 17 POUNDS SO FAR IN LESS THAN A MONTH

curious: i've noticed that some of you mention side effects like insomnia but what about other things? will i experience diarrhea? or anythig else?

John: This product has worked for me. I can't exercise because of a disc problem so I was looking for an alternative. I have went to a 1800 calorie diet and Hydroxycut. I have lost over 15 pounds in a month. With a diet, IT WORKS!

Christine: You cannot rely on a "Magic Pill", if you will, to lose the weight for you! It's not that difficult. Exercise moderately by starting out taking walks each night after work, eat more healthy by cutting out one soda a day and some of those carbs from your meals, drink LOTS of water (because it helps flush toxins out of your body!) and get lots of sleep! You have to put SOME effort into losing weight or it will never stick! These products aren't supposed to go "POOF!" and magically all of those unhealthy years of eating disappear. Get off your tushy and go enjoy the outdoors or go for a run on your local gyms treadmill! Quit complaining and go live your lives! I lost 25 pounds doing this and it only took three months because I was consistent!

betterwieght: I tried hydroxycut and it rocks!!!!!!! I was able to loose up to 20 lbs in 4 months and know im in a way way better weight than ever of course you still need the balance of food and excersie at least 4 times a week 2 hr a day will give you results but if you dont have that well this product will never help you get off the couch and work out in order for this product to help you reach your goals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trust me. Now i becoming a personal trainer and im going to tell my clients about this product and how it can help them achive better goals and faster.

starr: I TOOK HYDROXY AND WAS TRAINING WITH A TRAINER DUING LOTS OF STRENGTH AND CONDITIONG WORK OUTS , AND IT WORKED WONDERS. AFTER A WEEK OR TWO YOU GET USE TO THE RAPID HEART BEAT WHICH YOU GET ANY WAY IN A WORK OUT, BUT IT REALLY DECREASED MY APPETITE AND GWVE ME MORE ENERGY, I WOULD TAKE ONE @ 6AM A HOUR BEFORE MY WORKOUT AND ONE MORE @ 2 PM AND WORK ALL DAY HAVE A MY LAST MEAL @ 6 PM AND A SNACK @ NINE AND SLEEP WELL ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT, AFTER 2 WEEKS I WENT UP TO 4 PILLS A DAY 2 @6AM AND 2@ 2PM AFTER 2 MONTHS I LOST 30LBS AND LOVED IT.. I KEPY MYSELF HYDRATED AND ATE CLEAN, I WAS CUT,TONED AND FELT GREAT. I RECENTLY WAS DIAGNOSED WITH HYPERTENSION AND HAD TO STOP THE PILLS AND I HAVENT WORKED OUT IN 5 MONTHS, I GAINED 15 LBS , I REALLY WANT TO START BACK THE PILLS AND TRAINING IM JUST AFFRAID I CANT TAKE MY BLOOD PRESSURE MEDS AND HYDROXYCUT PILLS TOO....IF I CAN I AM AND I KNOW AT LEAST IN 2 WEEKS THE 15 WILL BE GONE

Kenneth: I think the reason why it is not working for some people, is because some people think this is a magic pill that helps loose weight without effort. If you don't exercise, eat right, and just take it I can see why most people are getting anxiety, and other problems. This pill gives you energy to burn, so if you don't use that energy and sit there... the energy will just cause some people to shake. and drink lots of water too. It really works well with exercise!

Marissa: Hydroxycut does work. I think maybe some of you are using it improperly. It is not a magic pill. You do have to take to 30 to 60 min before use. You do have to eat right. You do have to exercise. When I didnt take it correctly I didnt lose weight. When I followed the directions I lost around 15 pounds in 7.5 weeks. I doesnt say you are going to lose weight with out work. It says you will lose more than with the diet and exerise alone..and there are caffeine free options. I think its a good product. I have tried many different ones and I am diabetic.

krissy: i wasnt sure about it at first but i really like it. I do eat more throughout the day but its small healthy meals and that is good for you anyways. I have the energy I need to exercise at the end of a long day and no proplems sleeping.

val, CO: At first I realy liked hydroxycut, I felt more alert and was just, on the go a lot more, so I lost about 7 lbs in two weeks, which was awesome. But it never did much for my appetite, I really tried to eat less, or better, or workout more to make up for what I ate but, by the third week, I totaly hit a plateau, and never lost anything more the rest of the month. SO, it wasn't bad, I didn't regain but, i don't know why I oculdn't lose more after the first two weeks. I'm not getting more, looking for something else. I've seen, better reviews on the Slim 10 pills and might get those instead, especialy since its suposed to have a stronger appetite suppressant.

Ashley: I have only been on hydroxyvut but already I have lost about 5 pounds. I am not as hungry as I was but still am eating junk. Today all I ahve eaten is cholcolate chip cookies. I know bad and I havent made it to the gym but I think the hydroxycut has helped me. I do feel dizzy and kind of have a headache but I am losing weight and that is what I need! I am getting married in 3 months and need to lose some weight. Any other quick weighloss suggestions? anything about slimquick?

Jake M.: I have read a lot of negative blogs about hydroxycut and only a few positive ones, could it be that it is working for a lot more people so they don't look for a site like this one to make a report. I'am a truck driver and the product is working for me. I follow the directions a try working out every mornning and eveing whether in the truck with my weights or go for a jog. This needs to be remembered that when your body is not use to something there will be noticeable effects, and the nervous system is the first to get it espeacialy without excersie which is recommended. Maybe wait an 30 to 45mins after take it than workout, and make sure that the work out is effective enough to delievery it into all your systems. I myself drink lots of water before, after, and during everyday. In doing this I don't forget to take my vitamins. The body can only process EFFECTIVELY what is bruned not stored. Please be carefully in your woking out and drink lots of water. 10 pound in 2 weeks. javonray@aol.com

Gina: HyDroxycut has JUST ISSUED A NATIONWIDE RECALL...DO NOT TAKE THIS PRODUCT PEOPLE.

Marques: BE AWARE! Took Hydroxycut for three weeks and ended up in the Hopsital for 1 week with severe live failure. I was bright yellow with Jaundice for about two months. Could not work for three months because of all the damage caused. Fortunately at the hospital I went too someone had the exact same symptoms as me and were able to diagnose that it was from the Hydroxycut. Make sure you go to the doctor first before you take. I see today that Hydroxycut just had a major recall, go figure. Please be careful.

Mr Recall: Hydroxycut has been recalled. Apparently, it damages the liver.

Gerald: The Recall. Any supplement you take won't work if you don't exercise and diet properly. Blaming health problems on supplements is as silly as blaming health problems on cigarettes, because in the end it's the individual who is responsible for their body, not the supplement. Supplements won't stop you from eating junk, drinking, smoking, etc. Hard work, self control and knowledge will improve your health. Supplement bottles have warnings and some state that you should take half a dose to test if you react negatively to it. And even if the bottle doesn't say take half a dose to test, do it anyway. And if you have a negative reaction, then stop taking the supplement. Bottles also state to see your doctor before starting any supplement or workout plan. Just be smart, understand your body and know results aren't magic.

boxey: I lost 35 pounds on hydroxycut, but recently everyone has noted that my eyes are "kinda yellowish". Just 3 days ago I was admitted to the hospital because even though I stopped hydoxycut, I still wasnt hungry and started experiencing severe nausea. I was told I was in advanced stages of liver failure. But I lost 35 pounds!

Sandy in MI: Tried this product for several months, headaches,dizziness,rapid heart rate, blurred vision,pee ed a lot, didn't loose any weight, did curb my appetite to busy running to the potty. Expensive too not worth the $$$$ - Hydroxycut

Anonymous: Anything that causes jaundice or liver failure can't be good for you. Thank you hydroxycut for not safely testing your product before releasing it out to the public.

harry: hydoxycut did nothing for my weight loss efforts run, don't walk away from this product.

Wife of User: My husband has been using Hydroxycut for @2 months and has lost over 25 lbs. He has a much smaller appetite (eating normal portions now instead of x-large amounts) and has gone down 3 pant sizes. He drinks a normal amount of water. So far he has noticed no 'side effects' from it. We are VERY HAPPY WITH THIS PRODUCT.

chris G.: I lost a lot of weight with hydroxycut. I've tried other brands but alaways hit a wall and couldn't lose anymore weight but when i started taking hydroxycut it did what it said it would do pounds came off at one point i was losing 5lbs a week. It makes me sad to here the bad news.

IESHA: I started using Hydroxycut in December of 2008 and I saw results within a week. I lost 8lbs without giving up the foods I love. But now after seeing that Hydroxycut causes liver damage I'm will leave it alone. But it did work for me

Anonymous: I DIDN'T HATE THE PRODUCT BUT IT GAVE ME HEADACHES AND I DID NOT LOSE A POUND. I ACTUALLY GAINED WEIGHT AND I WAS CONSISTENTLY WORKING OUT

Renee: RECALLLLLLL .... people stop commenting here ... it is not being sold anywhere anymore..... do not take it... someone died from it. I was taking it for 2 weeks and now there not selling it anymore!!! I feel worse then ever now my body is freaking out :(

Derek: for the past five months i have gone through three 120 count bottles and a 210 count bottle and lost 36 lbs. now its recalled!! im deffinently freaking out and idk what to do!?

garrett: hey derek, the best thing you can do, is look for something safe & proven. that's what i'm doing now, hoping to find something effective as hydroxycut, with the potential for harm this had. also wanna continue losing, hoping to see what's good from this blog.

Hydroxycut®

Hydroxycut® gained a reputation on the market for being an extreme fat burner, back in the day when it included Ephedra in its formulary. As many of us may know by now, Ephedra was extremely effective in burning more fat, but it also came along with some life threatening side effects, which prompted its removal from the market.

When this occurred, Hydroxycut® created a new Ephedra-free formula, which is purported to be another highly effective fat burner. It purports to increase metabolism and energy, while curbing appetite. However, it has not scored well on consumer-driven websites, on which countless individuals have reported that they found the ingredients to be ineffective, and the customer service to be poor.

That said, while we take this kind of information into account, we will still conduct our own research regarding its formulary’s potential effectiveness, ingredient safety and customer service. So, let’s take a more in-depth look at Hydroxycut® in its entirety to see why it has received poor customer ratings.

 Ingredients at a Glance
Hydroxycut® is part of a generation of weight loss products that are claimed to increase the body’s innate ability to release, transport and burn fat more effectively. It contains Caffeine, Green Tea, Guarana and Garcinia Cambogia Extract.

 Ingredients in Focus
During the course of our research, we realized that the ingredients used in Hydroxycut® are not in the “big leagues” when it comes to weight loss. Caffeine is used in many of the lower-grade weight loss products because it gives dieters a “feeling” of having more energy, which makes them feel like they are burning more fat. The truth is, Caffeine has some low-level abilities in this arena, but not enough to make any real difference in boosting thermogenesis. If Caffeine had this kind of thermogenic power, then countless coffee addicts would be skinny, and we know plenty that are overweight.

Green Tea also contains a great deal of Caffeine, as does Guarana, which is also used in this formula. Green Tea has been used for centuries to augment health. However, it has only been in recent times that it has gained a reputation for boosting thermogenesis, somewhat due to its Caffeine content. There are many unsubstantiated claims made about Green Tea. For instance, it is claimed that drinking five cups of Green Tea a day may burn 70 to 80 extra calories, but at this time there is very little data to back up this claim. In fact, our findings show that many individuals have reported that drinking Green Tea has not enabled them to lose weight.

Guarana has been imbued with certain metabolic boosting effects, mostly due to an initial study that showed it boosted weight loss in some individuals. But, what most developers fail to mention is that it was tested in combination with Yerba Mate and Damiana – neither of which is used in Hydroxycut®.

After reviewing this formulary, we understand why so many people have negative things to report in terms of its ability to create weight loss on the independent sites we mentioned earlier. Also, this product is very heavy on Caffeine, which is like to cause side effects such as palpations, sleeplessness, nervousness and raised blood pressure – an issue consumers brought up on these sites as well.

 Diet Lifestyle
While this website provides a fair amount of information regarding their products, and they provide testimonials, we find these success stories a bit contrived, especially compared to those we find on outside consumer driven websites. We tried to contact them regarding some questions we had about their formulary – especially its high Caffeine content.

However, we find it nearly impossible to get through, and when we did, we were on hold way too long. We feel strongly that customer service is extremely important, because when it comes to holistic supplementation, it is imperative to get your questions and concerns answered quickly.

 Positives
• Formulary disclosed
• Testimonials posted


 Negatives
• Uses low-level thermogenic agents
• Extremely high Caffeine content
• Poor report card on consumer driven websites


 Final Thoughts
After reviewing Hydroxycut®’s formulary in its entirety, we see why it has scored so badly on so many consumer websites. Moreover, our research corroborates their concerns. We see why people who have used this product report that they felt jittery and perhaps more energetic for a short period of time, but that they did not see any real weight loss.

Products that rely so heavy on Caffeine to create results often have this issue. We seriously question why this developer fails to use other, more potent, yet safe thermogenic, agents such as Advantra-Z®. This is an issue that comes up again and again for people who tried Hydroxycut®, and found it lacking.
