happy user this is my second time to use it within
5 years. the first time (2002) , i was
taking 2 pills per meal and i lost 30
pounds within 2 months, too fast, too
soon. hair loss, too much energy. this
year, i started using 2 pills a day, and
only with breakfast, plus a better diet
and better exercise regimen. i've lost
25 pounds within 4 months and i feel
great. the hair loss has stopped, and my
energy level is never better. i wanted
to use it to kick off my weight loss,
and its working beautifully in that
sense.

Not bad I am sorry for all those who have had
these side-effects but
I have had nothing but success. I
started at 245 and ended
at a rock hard 200 and my bench went
from 320 to 400... I
worked out three times a day. You have
to exercise, eat
healthy and drink water but within 8
weeks it does the job.
Great product though I suggest
all-natural for weight loss
because I have heard some rough
side-effects.

hair loss I took hydroxycut for a while, and like
most people, noticed a difference very
quickly. The side effects, I believe you
can go around by drinking water and
eating well, echinacea for boosting your
immune system. The only thing I can't
live with is my hair falling out. I have
lost SO much hair!!! As a 26 year old
female, it is a bit disturbing to see
your hair fall out so much. I don't
know if this is a common side
effect???any ideas?
Reviewer: layla from montreal on October 10, 2007
PANIC ATTACKS I had several panic attacks while taking
Hydroxycut that stopped when I gave it
up. Hydroxycut is nothing but caffeine
and other stimulants. If you want to
lose weight without killing yourself or
putting yourself through misery just eat
fresh food and exercise! These pills
will NOT help you drop weight in the
long run and can KILL YOU!

Sore Throat and Sicke Than a DOG!! This is my first week and it cuased a
sore throat and flu like symptoms. To
all who intends to buy it, DONT!!! Its
not worth you ruining your health. If
you are serious about loosing weight, do
it the safe way. See a doctor sign up at
the gym, change your eating habits. As
for HYDROXYCUT,its going in the garbage!
Never agian, I learned my lesson not,
only I\'m sick, it also made my
heart have irrigular heart beats and
cuased me high anxiety. To all the
people in here saying it does work; BS!!
I bet you people work for hydroxycut and
dont want to loose any clients or money.
Listen if the FDA didnt approve these
diet pills, why should you. really, how
much are you willing to put a price on
your health and life?!
Reviewer: sandra from Walla Walla, WA USA on September 06, 2007
sore throat msucle pain Hydroxycut no doubt has helped me lose
weight, but as a doctor, I have notice a
consisent reproducible number of side
effects which concern me.
I have taken in on 3 occassions for
periods of about 2 months. After 4-6
weeks, I develop a severe sore throat
followed by running dose and feeling
crappy.
I have much experience in drug reactions
and this concerns me for a number of
reasons. Drug reactions can produce
serious reactions 4-6 weeks out with
fever, sore throat, swollen nodes and
flu like symptoms. These can progress to
really severe and life threatening
situations if the drug is not stopped. I
dont' think this is happening with
hydroxycut, but I'm not sure. I've
stopped the hydroxycut and i'll
probably restart it to see what happens.
I do realize there are reports of it
lowering your immune system, but these
are vague. I think we need to discuss
more about the side effect of these
supplements.
No doubt it works and helps, but we need
to know these side effects and make our
decisions based on these
Reviewer: MD from washington, DC on August 11, 2007
Work in Progress I have been on Hydroxycut for the second
time in the past year. The first time I
took 2 pills a day and I had the shakes,
but a lot of energy. Then I kicked it
up to 3 pills a day and my heart raced
and I was too stressed out. I have been
on blood pressure medication for over 30
years and got a little worried. I
stopped for several months and have just
started up again. This time I am only
taking one pill in the morning and I
have already lost 6 pounds. I have a
lot of energy and feel more like working
out, but at a slow pace and I am
sleeping better. I am 57 years old
and have never had a weight problem
until last year. I have joint problems
and all the other health issues someone
my age aguires along the way, so working
out at a hard pace is not an option. I
am being practical in taking these
pills. One a day is fine. I am only a
little over 5 ft. 1 so one pill a day is
plenty and the side effects are mild. I
have noticed the sore throat, mild
shakes and periodic mild heart racing
within the first 3 hours of taking the
pill. I do hope the side effects don't
get any worse as I really see results
with this drug. Being practical and not
pushing is working for me.
Reviewer: Gloria from Loomis, CA USA on July 18, 2007
Shortness of breath, chills, Anxiety, increased heart rate and vomiting My subject describes all of my symptoms.
I have never had them until i started
taking this pills. They are bad for
you. I am very close to going to the ER
and having myself check for heart
attacks. I read somewhere that this med
have cause people to die all of the
sudden. I have not taken the pill in
1.5 days and i still feel the same
(considering i took it for about 1 week
- probably it takes a while for it to
get off my system) Anyways, one of this
nights i called 911 and the rescue team
went to my house - there they told me
that it must be the pill. One of the
rescue guy told me that he takes the
pill and the those are some of the side
effect, to drink LOTS of water and to
keep my self busy. He also said that
the pill is not for everyone.
Reviewer: Alejandro from Miami, Florida on June 21, 2007
Severe sore throat side effect. Everytime I use hydroxycut I end up with
a severe sore
thraot that always turns into a month
long sickness. I
rarely get sick and in the past couple
years the only times I
have been under the weather is when I
have began using
this product. I also have had mono and
wonder if the effect
of hydroxycut coupled with a sickness
that is sprung from
stress on the body is the reason for
this occurance.
Reviewer: Wayne from Los Angeles, CA USA on April 10, 2007
Problems, mood, anxiety attack, panic attack I had trepidation in buying it. My
concerns were: Too few tablets in
bottle. W@ill last less than 2 weeks,
Too high priced per tablet. A daily
cost of thid weight-loss pill is $ 7 to
$ 8 at the prices at K-Mart and at OSCO.
No thank you.
The panic attack I had the 5th day on
the recommended doe printed on the
bottle lasted all day-long,
unfortunately, and the anxiety attack
was horrible -- I could've run right in
front of a moving car on Irving Park Rd.
inChicagoland.
I have read the above 10 reviews from
readers and learnt that heart beating is
a side-effect for them.
Listen, Folks! This could mean death
white taking your 2 tablets for 3 times
a day. Total: six tablets. Thank you
to your reader who said the heart
problem occurred not in a geriatric case
(65 YEAR OLD) but in a young man. He was
25. He discontinued use, so I am
discontinuing use now. Thank you very
much.

Reviewer: STACY from DALLAS , TX USA on March 12, 2007
It works and requires respect Hey, it's my second week. Found taking
three pills difficult. I don't workout
extensively. Modified to two times a
day(2 pills) everything is super. You
must respect this powerful supplement
and follow intructions. Mild
palpitations and once nausea but I
dropped the dosage to 2 pills now all is
fine. I'm already slimmer in week 2. I
recommend this product if you're
willing to drink lots of water and not
alcohol or other caffeine products.
People complain about side effects and
then they reveal (oh yeah i drank a
coffe/red bull/didn't drink enough
etc.) Follow instructions and things
will be great ! Energy levels are high,
so don't blow out on workouts. Go slow
and develop a new lifetsyle of healthy
eating with the SUPPORT of hydroxycut.
Just be smart about it, don't go and
max yourself out by the end of the first
week thinking you'll get better
results. You'll trash your body your
appetite and comfort will disappear ! It
works, but you must respect the
directions given.

worked pretty good while i was using it im 21 and i used ephedra free hydroxycut
for about a month, i have a minor heart
condition and my dr said i CANNOT take
ephedra or i'll most likely have a
heart attack.. so i tried ephedra free
hydroxtcut. the biggest thing i noticed
the 1st week was a big loss of appetite,
and after 2 weeks i started really
noticing the fat loss in my arms, and
later on a little by my stomach. the
first week or two though i would
randomly get sharp pains in my chest
which worried me, but they went away
after 2 or 3 minutes. i dont drink
coffee or anything so i figured it was
my body reacting to the caffeine. i
would recommend it to people that wanna
lose some weight just to look skinnier,
probly not to someone whos looking to
lose 100 pounds or something, i'm
probably going to start using it again

at 175 . but not without a price . i was
taken to the emergency room at my local
hospital with a heart fibulation . had
to be shocked back into rythym , i am
now in my early 20's , no heart problem
history in my family i i have daily
heart screw ups . it beats irratically
and sometimes you can feel it stop and
start back up again. i figure ill be
dead by the time i hit 30 from a heart
attack , BUT HEY I LOOKED GOOD DURING MY
SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL. goddamn diet
pills , gotta fit the mold , the perfect

see my children walk down thier
graduation isle . and you assholes that

control and more than likley an early
death.
Reviewer: macy from central illinois on January 18, 2007
Recommended It works great for me, makes me look
really lean after
just a week (with working out of
course). I feel really full
after I take 2 pills though, and it's a
little uncomfortable.
It make me a little high strung too,
where my hands are
shaky... must be the caffeine. Other
than that, no
problems. It's not for everyone, and I
think a lot of
people abuse the directions. Like, drink
LOTS of water.
EASE yourself into the routine of taking
it... your body
has to get used to it. It's only for
those who are serious
about burning the fat and keeping it
off... it's not
something you want to use as a quick fix
and then not
use it anymore. You have to use it
constently for
consisten results, just as you need to
conistently
workout and eat healthy to stay lean. I
recommend
using it at your own pace, and I hope it
works for you like
it does for me! Good luck!
Reviewer: Rachel from Tampa, Florida on January 16, 2007
Buzzin N Pumpin Well I\'ve been taking the Ephedra
for a week now, and like most people
have claimed, it does sometimes makes
you a bit dizzy, but it feels more like
adrenaline overload to me, after a
workout it should go away. As for the
runs, yeah i get that in the morning
too. Heart rate goes through the roof
after a workout too, and i would
probably advise drinking heaps of water
with it. Wouldnt recommend taking this
if you dont intend on doing any form of
exercise or cardio workout, mad
adrenaline rush.
Reviewer: Ray from Australia on January 10, 2007
Why People why! I have only been taking this product for
about a week. However, i followed the
directions, you have to stay hydrated.
when your body becomes dehydrated you
tend to have the runs, its your bodys
why of telling you to drink water! other
side effects are headaches, sleepiness,
lazyness, the shakes.... i could go on
but i think everyone gets the point. you
can't take this product unless you do
it right. I have just started taking 3
servings of 2 pills a day. I have no
side effects. when my stomach starts to
hurt i eat something.

Not sure about it I have only been taking this product for
a week and have not started losing
weight yet (as expected). But I wanted
to share my side effects with this
posting. Some of you are saying that
"this is all just in your head." BS!
I had no notions of what to expect, but
I too am experiencing "panic attacks."
Strong enough that I have been very
close to having my wife drive me to the
ER and make sure that it is not a heart
attack. Luckily, I have a heart rate
monitor that I use while working out and
have checked my HR to find that I am at
normal pace. I am a 34 year old male
and I started the first 3 days by just
taking one pill, 3 times a day, as
recommended. The last few days, I've
been taking 2 pills, 3 times daily, also
as recommended. Twice, after taking the
third dose, I have been getting this
heavy anxiety feeling. I saw where
another person in this post recommended
skipping the 3rd dosage after talking
with a GNC consultant. I will try that
and hopefully that will help. The first
2 doses do give me more energy and
appetite suppression, but weight loss is
not worth this weird feeling. Hopefully
the lesser dose will work, but if not,
to hell with this!
Reviewer: Marc MacConnell from Houston, Texas on December 10, 2006
Word of advice I haven't tried this yet, I'm planning
on it btu wanted to read some reviews
first. Just wanted to give some advice
on the panic attack//dizzy spell
victims. It's not all in your head,
however you are letting it get to you.
This contains extracts of caffeine, and
if you are caffeine sensitive taking in
any amount of it can give you just the
burst of energy your body can't handle
and will send you into a panic attack,
which in theory is all in your head but
it does derive from the sudden jolt of
energy you receive and you're not sure
what to do with it. Just remember to
pace yourself in any activity, drink
plenty of water, keep your breathing
paced when you're feeling faint and
take a seat to calm down if needed.. you
control it, so don't go thinking
you're dying.
I hope with this information you can
continue to use the product and
experience results.
Hopefully I will be able to do the
same.. I will write up a real review
after I start taking it.

i would'nt take this if your athlete
beause it's hard to work out when your
chest is on fire, water helps... but it
helps in losing weight,but it hurts!
Reviewer: MEgan from Texas on November 23, 2006
Not convinced that it helps... I have taken Hydroxycut regularly on a
number of occasions. I took it for the
energy boost before workouts more than
the weight loss aspect. Each time I
have had to stop taking it because of a
severe sore throat. The first time it
happened I went to my doctor. He was
concerned that the Hydroxycut was
affecting my thyroid and recommended I
stop using it. I did so, and the sore
throat cleared up in a couple of days.
Twice thereafter I started taking it
again and the sore throat returned. It
does provide an energy boost, but the
sore throat is a definite minus. I
noticed that one other review mentions
the sore throat as well.
Reviewer: Jeff from Tampa, FL USA on November 15, 2006
Good if taken right I took this product before and
experienced weight loss intially. I only
took 2 tablets twice a day because the
extra dose would cause heart
palpitations. Gnc clerk said not many
people take the full recommended dosage.
After two months, when i would take the
pills it would cause me to be more tired
and nauseous than energetic. I stopped
taking them for two months. I have now
resumed and take one pill twice a day.
gives me the needed energy and appetitie
suppressent. I agree with the others to
not take the full dosage and definetly
dont over do it.
the Gnc clerk also recommended taking a
multivitamin when taking this product.
Because it is a diuretic, you could be
losing vital nutrients in the process.
Good luck to all. and as the others
have said..everybodys body reacts
differently to a new product. Heed to
the body's warnings.

this year and I have lost 25 pounds. I
absolutely love the burst of energy I

before breakfast. I have no problems
sleeping; nor have I had any other side
effects. AWESOME PRODUCT! I recommend
hydroxycut to everyone who comments on
how much weight I have lost. All of you
who are having problems- take in
consideration that it takes time for
things to get into your system. And not
every product is the same for everyone.

Love Hate Relationship I started using hydroxycut about 7 days
ago. Not only I, but some of my friends
noticed a leaner me. I have lost weight
on it but one day I was running and my
chest started to hurt. I don't have a
history of any cardio-disease in my
family, so this worried me. My advice is
to use it in moderation. If your chest
starts to hurt, cut it out for at least
two weeks, then ease yourself into it
(start again with one pill and only once
or twice a day)

is this really how it works i decided to take hydroxycut to help
supress my appetite. well it worked... i
took it and within 2 hours i felt so
sick to my stomach and dizzy that i had
no desire to eat (along with the fact
that if i moved i felt like puking) all
of this occured after experiencing such
a rapid heart rate that i almost fainted
and had uncontrollable jitters. however
do keep in mind that this could be due
to the fact that i took two pills my
first time taking them (2 minutes later
i read that you were only supposed to
take one). is this really how it curves
your appetite- by making you sick?

pros but more cons Ok i took this product for about 2-3
months the first time and noticed a big
difference in appearance which im sure
what everyone cares about most here. I
looked leaner and seemed to lose a lot
of fat. However, i did have some major
side effects, i think restlessness was
one of them but it wasnt too bad, i did
get a sore throat often while using it,
and also had to excrete (mostely
liquids) much more often then i usually
did. I also developed a form of the runs
which really sucks because it kinda
makes you smell... overall it didnt
really make me feel that great
physically, however it did seem to do
what it said it would, which is lean me
out BUT! it was all water weight, it
mostely just makes your body become semi
dehydrated.

which I think is in direct conjunction
with my meth amphetamine addiction. My
skin is breaking out and I am not sure
if that is due to the hydroxy cut or
again the meth. I see shadow people
after not sleeping all night (again
maybe thats the meth) but I get one heck
of a work out from my midnight runs that
are inspired by hydroxy cut (and maybe
meth). Also I have found that once I am
done with the bottle of Hydroxy Cut I
can fit up to 14 grams of meth in the
empty bottle which is a nice little
stowaway.
***this enitre email is a spoof if you
are too slow to actually have figured -
All you lazy people need to assume
direct responsibility for your out of
shape bodies and begin to do somthing
about it. Remember, nothing happens over
night. It will take weeks and months not
days to begin to see true results. You
don't need a product to assist you with
loosing water weight - rely and a
balanced diet and true to God exercise -

hydroxycut I didn\'t really need to lose
weight, wanted to lean out alittle and
have some energy, i gained 6 pouns in 2
weeks using it.. ouch... so, must have
opposite effects some people. The
exadrine worked great for me!!
Reviewer: lucy lu from fort worth texas on April 05, 2006
acne with hydroxycut I read that a girl had acne, that's
because hydroxycut
gives you a lot of energy and body
supplement, and to
use it all, you must be on the gym at
least 2 hours
and max 4 hours to burn all the energy
that the
product gives you, i didn't have any
side effects with
hydroxycut, because always i've been 3
or 4 hours on
the gym. Another thing is that always
must respect
the time of taking the pills, for ex.,
if u take the 3 pills
at 7am, u must take it at 11am and lunch
at 12 am,
and take again 3 pills one hour before
your training,
and no exceed more than 9 pills per day,
and
remember to workout really hard to burn
all the
energy that hydroxycut gives you, it's
a wonderful
product!
Reviewer: Miguel Angel Flor Ocampos from Asuncion, Paraguay on April 05, 2006
good results I took hydroxycut with great results
(lost 10 kg!!), but had a really bad
acne break down!!...I've stopped taking
it for that reason, but would love to
find a similar supplement that won't
ruin my face!! any suggestions?
Note: Don't take it after 4 pm
otherwise you won't be able to
sleep....too much energy!!! and also
drink at least 4 lts of water...it helps
your body to get rid of the fat...
Reviewer: Tania from Sydney, Australia on March 30, 2006
Works So Far I started taking the product 6 days ago
at the recommended dosage. The first 2
days I could feel my body trying to get
used to the pill so I'd have to shit
after every meal. Now my body has
adjusted and I lift 3 times a week and
play basketball the other 2. I only
want to lose about 10 pounds and I
already lost 5 pounds in 6 days to get
down to 178. So I got to say it works
so far. I recommend it.
Reviewer: Anonymous from Winchester, VA on March 27, 2006
Works but makes me tired? I found that this product does really
work as far as curbing my appetite and I
have lost ten pounds in about 2 1/2
weeks, i dont get any side effects like
the dizziness or acne etc...but i do
feel tired all the time, its wierd
because i still go to the gym at least 3
times a week but i just feel exhausted
and i have to force myself to work out,
its kind of wierd....and i agree with
the depression on an earlier review...i
feel as though i'm depressed and in
turn makes me tired and fatigue, maybe
its just me...but it has helped me lose
weight.

40 year old As someone who was used to being fit
(size 6) I have been frustrated for
years since the birth of my two kids. I
have hovered between a size 10/12 for
over a year now. I run almost every day
and didn't think I ate that much.
What's the deal???
I was desperate and depressed.
I have been on hydroxycut for three days
and the size 10 I just purchased are
now loose.
In fact, I went back shopping today and
I am offically in between sizes and
bought my first size 8 in years.
I have cut out my in between snacking
completely and am trying to eat in
smaller portions but I admit I am
shocked at the results in just a few
days time.
I will probably only take the pills
twice a day as my goal is to stay around
a size 6/8.
Yea!
Reviewer: Jeanne from South Louisiana on March 10, 2006
Waste of money I can\'t believe I wasted 18 bucks
on this junk. I had no energy before
and now I have even less. Thus, I eat
more and no doubt will be getting
fatter. I\'ll be fat forever.
Should have bought a pizza with the
money. 18 bucks down the commode.
Reviewer: John Nomoney from In a hell hole on March 09, 2006
It works great! I have not taken supplements before but
wanted some added boost to my weight
loss. I took the first pill as
instucted and thought maybe I wouldnt be
able to handle it. But now My body has
adjusted to the dose and my appetite has
been suppressed. I love this because I
too would eat out of boredom. Now I eat
less, exercise more and lose weight. I
am very careful to drink the 10 glasses
of water a day. I think this aids in the
appetitie suppression and overall
effectiveness of the product.
Reviewer: Vanessa from Pennsylvania on March 05, 2006
Ive had it Ive tried this before but not to much.
It does curb appetite and give energy. I
took it to tone my muscles better (im a
weight lifter) and shed some fat (18%
body fat to 16%).
I know that this can be addictive from a
biological perspective but from the same
perspective it works. You do have to
exercise when you use this. If you are
on the same diet and sleep the same
amount while taking this product you
should lose weight.
Weight gain or loss doesnt mean anything
to me at all. I want to gain muscle and
lose fat. This product, when used
responsibly, should help anyone lose
fat. Do be careful not to get addicted
though.
Reviewer: Matt from Missouri on February 17, 2006
Duh I just stared using Hydroxycut 2 days
ago and I lost 3 pounds. So for me it's
working, you have to remember everybody
isn't the same, so what might work for
some, might not work for others.
Reviewer: Stephanie from Detroit, Michigan on February 16, 2006
Side Effects i just started taking Hydroxycut today
and i already got a blood nose (which i
never get) and very light headed and
dizziness, so i looked up the side
effects and of course they are all on
there. I usually don't get any side
effects from medicine. Im a little
scared to continue this product but i
really want to know if it works for me.
Reviewer: Jackie from OH USA on February 15, 2006
Just starting I have been taking Hydroxycut for 2
weeks now although the first week I did
not take it faithfully and not at all
last weekend (plus I pigged out) This
past week I did take 2 pills 3 times a
day, 1/2 to 1 hour before meals and I am
definatly seeing small results already.
I also have been doing some piltes and
cardio. It definatly helps stop me from
unnecessary eating, I have to force
myself to eat at times and I used to eat
all day long! It also gives me energy.
Before taking this I was tired 10
minutes after I woke up and just got
lazier as the day went on, not anymore.
My mom told me about this product
because she lost alot of weight with it.
You HAVE to exercise and eat healthier
to see the results, if you want a pill
that you can take, sit on your butt all
day and lose 20 pounds, good luck, and
if you find one, let me know! I do
sometimes feel dizzy or a little
drunk...lol.. but I eat and it goes
away. If I take them and do nothing
physical I feel jittery... nothing major
and it never lasts long at all.
Reviewer: Dawn from Pa on February 12, 2006
Am I doing something wrong? I've been using Hydroxy Cut for about
three weeks now. I am up to three pills
no more then nine a day. I have not
noticed a real boost in energy other
then the very first time I took one.
That energy has not been back since. In
fact, I get sleepy when I take it. I
exercise with The Firm at least three
times a week. ( not every week) What am
I missing here? Am I doing something
wrong?? Let me know before I overdose
off of these things.
Reviewer: Hydroxy Junky from Maryland on February 08, 2006
Doesn't work for me At first I tried Propolene which didn't
do anything for me, and now Hydroxycut.
I've been taking it for 3 weeks now and
it's done nothing. I exercise, watch
what I eat (which I have been doing for
years)... I just wanted to lose a few
pounds before spring break, but it
hasn't done anything for me yet. I'm
not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Reviewer: Kristen from Terre Haute, IN on February 07, 2006
Message to Vix Vix,
I am relieved to hear that someone else
is experiencing these nasty side
effects. After taking this product for
approx. 5 weeks I too have suffered from
both depression and serious panic
attacks. I stopped taking this product
about 3 days ago and I am looking
forward to being my normal self again.
How long did it take for these side
effects to subside?
Reviewer: Schwy from Brantford, On Canada on February 06, 2006
a very poor product.... I live in Quebec, where ephedra-based
fat burners arent sold in each corner,
so I tried the ephedra-free
hydroxycut... 2 weeks ago....and i'm
still waiting for the pills to kick
in....
This is a real waste of money....
A fat burner without Ma huang is like a
Buick GNX with a civic engine....
Reviewer: Kim from Longueuil, Quebec on February 06, 2006
its good....but be carefull I started taking this product last year
with the help of my personal trainer,
and i found the results fantastic...he
told me only to stay on the product for
3 weeks, which i did, and i felt great
and lost loads of weight....
I then decided to re-take this product
without the help of my personal trainer
this year, and with regular gym visits i
still found the results amazing and
incredably addictive. But then found it
very hard to come off this product and
stayed on the tablets for what i think
was too long (6 weeks)...I am now
experiencing some nasty side effects
such as nervousness, panic attacks and
depression!!! and believe me I am a very
confident young lady and Im not used to
these sorts of feelings!!!!
I think this product really works but I
also think you should take it under
guidance and supervision!!!
Has anyone else experienced similar side
effects???
Reviewer: Vix from London, UK on December 14, 2005
It doesn't work for me... I've been following a pretty strict
diet and besides being an asian who
doesn't really eat alot. I've took the
hydroxycut for about half a month and I
make it a point to jog for about half an
hour at least 3 times a week. Somehow it
doesn't shed any weight on me and on
the contrary it's putting me on with
more weight. When I stopped taking this
product I began to lose weight with the
constant excercise... Weird...
Reviewer: Gnayed from Singapore on November 15, 2005
It only works if you let it It can work, but you need to put in the

spring breaker I took this produst for 2 months before
I went on spring break.. It gave me the
energy to get my butt to the gym every
day. I was in the best shape of my
life! I only lost like 10lbs, but I
gained soo much muscle, people need to
rember to workout w/ theese pills! even
if its walking around the block on your
lunnch break!
Reviewer: kate from SD on July 09, 2005
Better than Animal Cuts...but not much. It seems that this product isn't very
effective if you only need to lose about
10 pounds. I suggest using Redline RDT
by VPX Sports (don't think it's sold
on this site) over this product if you
fit into that category of desired weight
loss. If you're just looking for more
definition, then i highly recommend
using a Nitric Oxide boosting product
such as NO-Xplode by BSN, Super Pump250,
or the more powerful Nitrix by BSN.

No results yet...... :-( I'm an avid gym-goer! I was recently
in a car accident, which dramatically
reduced my workouts. I've probably
gained about 5-10 lbs. I'm still going
to the gym 5-6 days a week, but my
work-outs are less intense then they
would normally be. Since I've been
frustrated in gaining weight, I decided
to try Hydroxycut. (wishing it still
had ephedra) So far, I haven't lost
any weight....& am wondering if I'm
experiencing side effects??......my skin
has been breaking out (doesn't usually)
& I've been feeling nauseous a lot.
Anyone else experience these kinds of
side effects????
Thanks!! (Still taking it..& still
hopeful!)
Reviewer: Christen from NY on March 30, 2005
Worked Really Well I was about 155 lbs at 5'7. i decided
to take this supplement and in a couple
of weeks i was at about 145. i could
already see my 6 pack that ive always
wanted. hydroxycut really helped me.
Reviewer: Sam Gomez from Brea, CA USA on March 29, 2005
completely suprised I have never taken any kind of weight
loss supplement before but i have
noticed my tummy getting a little soft
lately and I really wanted to get back
in shape as quickly as possible so a
friend reccommended i try it. The first
time I took it I had been feeling kinda
lethargic all day and about 30 minutes
after taking the first capsule I felt
like a million bucks. It does wonders
for curbing your appetite as well. I
have always been one to eat when im
bored, or upset, or just if there was
food around, but not with hydroxycut. I
can go all day without snacking, and
could probably eat only once a day if I
knew that it wouldn't affect my
metabolism. I am SO pleased with this
product....and that is saying a lot from
a skeptic. I was 140 when i started
taking the capsules, adn 5'7'' and
after 2 weeks i have lost 8 lbs. That
is ALOT of weight for someone that was
within a normal weight range to start
out with. I am so pleased with this
product, and im also pleased to know
that after 2 weeks i only have a few
more lbs to go till i have my rock hard
body back once again ;)

Good so far.... I have been on a week now and lost a

regularly and am putting on muscle while
trying to lose fat. This product has
pretty much curbed my apitie like it is
supposed to but not like the effedra
used to I can still eat when it is meal
time. Have tried numerouse supplements
and so far this is the best fat loss
supplement.

Reviewer: QUEEN B from OHIO on February 03, 2005
Works Great but did you know this It works extremely great. It sheds the
weight extremely quick, but I bet you
didn't know this. I have a good reason
not to buy this product. Hydroxycut has
been out for about 3-4 years. It takes
at least 10 years until people know if a
product is actually safe without any
side effects. Over 150 people have
died, and they found out that there is a
chemical found in Hydroxycut that caused
their death. If you don't believe me,
whatch the news. They are banning the
sale of Hydroxycut after 2005. They
also said that the people who took it
only took one bottle. I have taken 16
bottles of it. 210 caps in each one
too. Just be careful if you still want
to take the product. Also when you take
it, make sure that you don't play any
sports that envolve alot of running b/c
your heart will beat so fast. Don't
believe me, try it. You won't last 2
minutes sprinting down the court, b/c
your heart will hurt so bad. Just be
careful. I recomend German Creatine
POWDER. It has to be powder b/c it is
the best. I get all my stuff at
Nutrition express. Look it up on the
net and have them send you a magazine
and you will get good deals.

waste of money I was on a strict diet/ exercise program
for weeks. I wanted to speed up the
weight loss so I took hydroxycut and the
only thing I lossed with this thing was
$40. This thing does not add energy,
raise metabolism, or burn fat. Not only
that but its a hassle having to take 9
thats right 9 pills a day. If your
going to spend money on something you
might as well spend it on protein shakes
(Protein burns carbs). This product is
definitely a lost cause.

Not bad
Put me in the Hospital
JUST STARTED TODAY
It works and requires respect
this is my second time to use it within 5 years. the first time (2002) , i was taking 2 pills per meal and i lost 30 pounds within 2 months, too fast, too soon. hair loss, too much energy. this year, i started using 2 pills a day, and only with breakfast, plus a better diet and better exercise regimen. i've lost 25 pounds within 4 months and i feel great. the hair loss has stopped, and my energy level is never better. i wanted to use it to kick off my weight loss, and its working beautifully in that sense.
