    hydroxycut questions

    Hello, I recently got my first bottle of Hydroxycut Hardcore Elite. I have some few questions regarding its usage:

    1. I am a little confused as to why the directions say I should take it everyday rather than on workout days. Can anyone explain to me the logic/science behind this ?

    2. Owing to my work schedule, my workouts are spaced far from my meals of the day (except for the immediate post-workout meal) i.e. I usually work out around 7pm after getting home from work and my last major meal before that is around noon at the office. Given the instructions saying that I should take the product only before my meals, should I adjust my usage so that I take at least one capsule immediately prior to my workout ?

    3. Confused also that it says "avoid snacking." Why is this ? And should this be followed strictly ? I usually snack a lot with protein bars, whey powder, bananas, etc to fill up the rest of my calories for the day.

    4. It says also not to use the product for more than 60 days, so if I follow the dosage instructions to the letter that's roughly a bottle and a half. Does this mean after consuming say two bottles, I can never use this product ever again ?

    Thank you and I'm sorry if these questions have already been previously addressed.

    1. I am a little confused as to why the directions say I should take it everyday rather than on workout days. Can anyone explain to me the logic/science behind this ? Because it is used to give energy and suppress appetite, both of which are useful every single day while running a calorie deficit; it's a fat burner not a pre-workout.

    2. Owing to my work schedule, my workouts are spaced far from my meals of the day (except for the immediate post-workout meal) i.e. I usually work out around 7pm after getting home from work and my last major meal before that is around noon at the office. Given the instructions saying that I should take the product only before my meals, should I adjust my usage so that I take at least one capsule immediately prior to my workout ? You can, but it is not needed. The main reason it says to take with food is because fat burners might give you an upset stomach if not taken with food. Personally they never bothered me on an empty stomach, I did feel more energy though from the stimms; trial and error will tell you if you need to take it with food or not.

    3. Confused also that it says "avoid snacking." Why is this ? And should this be followed strictly ? I usually snack a lot with protein bars, whey powder, bananas, etc to fill up the rest of my calories for the day.You can snack if it does not cause you to go out of your calorie deficit, it says that since snacking usually ends up causing people to consume more calories than they need which inhibits the fat loss process.

    4. It says also not to use the product for more than 60 days, so if I follow the dosage instructions to the letter that's roughly a bottle and a half. Does this mean after consuming say two bottles, I can never use this product ever again ? No, after 60 days it is recommended (well with all stimm products it is recommended) to take a 'stimm break' to let your body tolerances reset. Stimms are also hard on the body so some time off is beneficial, a good stimm break is generally 2-4 weeks, though some products recommend up to 8 weeks off. After the stimm break you may resume usage of such products; just remember that during a stimm break the point is to not take in any stimms at all, no caffeine/coffee/soda and other things like that, unless they are caffeine free.

    Thank you and I'm sorry if these questions have already been previously addressed.

    Hey man thanks for the quick answers.

    Just a follow-up question, you mentioned to go on a stimm break to let your body recover. I just finished using a small tub of Jack3d a few days ago (is this considered a "stimm" ?), does that mean I have to wait until I can use Hydroxycut ? It last me roughly a little less than 8 weeks (though I only used it three times a week when training)

    Another thing by the way, do you have to strictly follow to take it 30-60 minutes before a meal ? Because I'm thinking of breakfast i.e. first thing in the morning I wake up and eat immediately. Not a big deal if I take it right before eating ?

    Yes, Jack3d is a stimmed product. It is up to you if you want to take a stim break in between, but its not necessary.

    It is considered a stim. That product has a lot of caffeine needed. A stim break between is just recommended, it isn't needed in most cases though.
