Anybody here taking Hydroxycut for weight-loss?

[unsoberx]

Hello everybody, anybody here taking hydroxycut for weight-loss? I went to Walgreens and bought a bottle of Hydroxycut Weight loss formula, fo weight loss. It is supposed to have green tea, chromium and other components good for weight loss.

However i have heard from people saying it makes them too nervous, too dizzy, too irritable and kills night time sleep.

Here is information about Hydroxicut

Once making headlines for containing a controversial herb, Ephedra, banned by the FDA, Hydroxycut now offers an Ephedra-free product that claims to increase metabolism and energy while curbing your appetite, cutting calories and maintaining blood sugar.

When Hydroxycut is combined with a diet and exercise regimen, the product claims to help users shed two-to-three times more weight that without. When taking Hydroxycut, it is suggested that users commit to consistent exercise and a low-calorie diet. Take Hydroxycut half-to-one hour prior to meals with eight ounces of water.

Anonymous: Hydroxycut rocks! I have been taking it to tone up for the last few months and totally notice a differnce
Anonymous: anyone who has been on this could you give me any ideas on what foods to eat thank you
jack: Does hydoxycut still have ephedrine in it? I just bought ephedrine p57 because I didn't think hydroxycut contained ephedra anymore? anyone know?
Anonymous: I've been on it for about 1 week. I eat the same things I did before just less of them. I've lost 5 lbs. I quit drinking soda and added carrots and celery as a snack.
Jessica: I have been on it for a week and lost 6lbs...i have only been drinking water (no soda) and eating healthy...i think it works great
Larry: I have been using Hydroxycut for years and it works great. Now they came out with Hydroxycut Hardcore and it really helps you burn the fat so you can tone up even faster. If you lift weights or do cardio, you will really see results. Make sure you drink plenty of water.
Anonymous: what are te side effects??
Jade: I have been using Hydroxycut for a little over a month, and I haven't had any problems. I think it's a great product and I would recommend it to my friends. In fact, in the past week, I lost 6lbs. I haven't had any side effects, so I don't know what these people are talking about. Just like any other diet pill, you have to be willing to commit to it fully. Any diet pill that says that you can lose weight and eat whatever you want, is a lie. In order to get the results that you want, you still need to eat right and exercise. I drink nothing but water and I watch what I eat. Most of the side effects come from adding caffeine to your diet. Hydroxycut has Caffeine in it, and if you add more caffeine to that, than that's where you get the side effects like high blood pressure and irregular heart beats.
julie: I have used hydroxcut for a year now and have lost a total of 130lbs I have the before and after pictures to prove. It is the best out there
Anonymous: what about the side effects of it..

Anonymous: I can not take 2 pills 3 times a day. I could only take 1 pill because evn that made me to edgee.
Anonymous: first day i started using HYdroxycut i couldn't sleep.....the next day, i woke up in the morning with a chest pain and dizziness....i took a pill that morning and i felt even dizzier......so i had to leave work....when i got home and checked my blood pressure, it was off the chart.......
Anonymous: My question is if it's truely hydroxycut that is melting the fat away or the fact that you're eating healthier and exercising. My wife and I are having our first baby and I have gained 30lbs of "sympathy" weight so I was considering incorporating hydroxycut into my diet and exercise. However, it sounds like hydroxycut has the same results as typical exercise and healthy eating which is required with hydroxycut. Which gets me to what's the point of hydroxycut? It honestly sounds like it's more of a lifestyle change versus hydroxycut. But I may be wrong...UGH!
Anonymous: I just started taking hydroxycut 3 days ago and so far lost 5 lbs!!
April: I started hydroxycut about a week and a half ago and have noticed results. Not only weight loss and supressed appetite.. but energetic as well.
Anonymous: I started Hydroxycut yesterday, 01/03/08. Knowing that it has high amounts of caffeine I am starting off with only taking 1 pill before breakfast, 1 before lunch and skipping dinner. I still have a little caffeine buzz. My energy level during the day is fantastic so far and I woke up feeling better then I have in years.

Savanah: \I'm starting HYDROXYCUT tomorrow. Does anybody have any tips I could use for better results??
William: Hey I was 347lbs and I'm only 20 years old. I started Hydroxycut a week ago and I'm almost down 14lbs. This was the only pill that worked, along with whey protein, albacore, and other healthy foods. I've only done minimal work outs.

TJ: My problem is usually that a diet pill works great in the morning/afternoon... but taking it close to evening, I would never sleep. So I take the regular Hydroxycut in the day and add an extra dosage in the evening at 8pm (caffeine-free)... works awesome since my nighttime eating is what always got me into trouble. So far, results are awesome. Hopefully I do stick with my New Year's resolution to lose weight this year! It's been easier so far at least. Good luck, everyone.
Anonymous: I LOVE YOU JULIE!
Anonymous: Good for you William! thats awesome!
Anonymous: I'm young and probably shouldn't even be worried about diet pills yet nor do I need them at all but for some reason still want to lose more weight. Hydroxycut seems to actually be working I've lost 2 lbs. since Saturday and tomorrow is Tuesday. I'm only looking to lose about 10 more lbs. However, Hydroxycut is making me nervous because at times I have gotten very dizzy and light headed, has anyone had those side effects? Plus, it says eat things with low calories, what else is good to eat while using it?
Ange: I just started today, I hope this works. I have gained 10 pounds over the holidays. I have already lost 50 pounds on my own with diet and exercise, I have been trying to lose these last 15-20 pounds for months and its not working very well. I just hope hydroxycut works.
Anonymous: "My question is if it's truely hydroxycut that is melting the fat away or the fact that you're eating healthier and exercising" It's probably more the latter than anything to do with hydroxycut. And i say this after cycling on and off it the past few years to kick start new diets/workouts. It definately limits your appetite which is a big plus when first kicking off a diet, beyond that its more of a motivator to eat healthy and exercise. You have to elimiate caffeine products, a big calorie cut for most people, and you have to excercise fairly reguarly to keep your blood pressure in line. bottom line to help kick off a diet and ajdust your eating/activity lifestyle its a huge help. beyond that its not a miracle solution. you will experience increased blood pressure (especailly the first week or so) you be antzy and fidgety during down time, and the first few nights trying to sleep can take getting used to.
Ben: Hydroxycut helps but you cant use it exclusively. I am taking it so that i can lose the 10 pounds I gained at college. i am taking 6 a day and not eating as much as i am used to. i have lost 5 or 6 pounds in a week. i cant tell if it helped. p.s. the first night i couldnt sleep at all but if you can get past that you should be good. give yourself 5 or 6 hours before bed if your going to take it
Mark: 1 Pill 2 times a day no side effects 2-3 headache dizyness nausea. Not sure about the weight loss yet, only had it two weeks. Read studies about it causing liver problems in a small number of people. Probably going to stop taking it
Amanda B.: Hey guys!! my dads getting married in march and i need to at least loose about 10 -15 lbs before then so my dress will look decent on mt lol!! it kinda tuggs me!! what can i do with this pill to help me loose wait faster :} im 21 i weight 200 ilbs i look more swollwn then i do fat bc im tall help!! thanks
Anonymous: the product's problem is sleepless for me.
Anonymous: hey guys, hydroxycut just gives you energy so you can go out an workout...if you guys want...to save money just take a caffeine pill or energy drink...who wouldnt want to go workout if you feel jitters...save your money, every diet or workout supplement will tell you to work out and you have that mindset that you have to workout for it to work when really all it is is you working out...good on the pills part for making you workout haha...but try something cheaper, hydroxycut is expensive...just take some kind of energy pill like caffeine pill and you will workout good like 5 times a week
Anonymous: Caffeine pills and/or energy drinks does not compare Hydroxicut ………Trust me….I have tried both with diet and exercise and Hydroxicut is unbelievable. I started with 1 pill 2 times a day and worked my way up to taking 3 pills 2 times a day. But you will experience side effects if you don’t eat properly and/or consume enough water. My starting weight was 214 and after 8 weeks of hydroxicut, diet, and exercise I now weigh 175. Now that I’m at a comfortable weight I stopped hydroxicut and for the last 6 months I’ve maintained the weight by dieting and exercising. I try to drink at least eight 8 once glasses of water while eating between 6-7 small meals a day (which increases your metabolism) and I rotate between a low to high carb diet.
Anonymous: Hyroxycut is the best

Theodore: Hey guys, I gained an unfortunate 15 pouns during my first semester in college. I want to lose a couple of them early, before the semester starts, and also wish to start some type of diet regiment that I can get accustomed to by the time I start classes(in about two weeks). How safe is Hydroxycut for the lower losses(I want to lose just about 20 lbs and I am currently 20 yrs. , However, I want to lose them fast) for a guy my age? Thanks
Anonymous: Like wow man.
Anonymous: I started Hydroxycut because my weight loss was stalled out (work out every day, only water, eating healthy)...after starting it, I dropped 7 lbs in two days and I'm back on track. Just needed the boost, and I'm looking forward to more results!
Elaine: I find that the product does curb my appitite but I can't seem to takie but 1 pill before each meal. 2 pills seem to make me dizzy. Am I going to get any real result;s with just 1?
Anonymous: I've been taking it for five day now can't sleep at night and gain 4 lbs. I was already on a low cal diet I'll give it another week if I gain any more pounds I'll quit. It did do one thing doe It increase my sexual appetite. I had sex 6 times in one day, all six time for over and hour. At lease it worked for something.
Franklin Peterson: this product is amazing, i have lost close to 23 pounds now and i hope to lose more, but of course you will have to cut down on the foods that you eat and work out regularly to see results, but if you just plan to take this product without regular exercise then i suggest that you dont bother with the pils.

Anonymous: Be careful with hydroxycut. It works well, but if not taken according to the instructions can cause major problems. I used hydroxycut in college to tone up. It lead to kidney failure. I was dialysis for 3 years before receiving a new kidney. I was only concerned about looking good at any cost. In retrospect, it wasn't worth it.

1. What is Hydroxycut??
Hydroxycut? is a premium weight-loss support supplement that contains several unique patent-protected ingredients and compounds, including Hydroxagen?Plus™ and HydroxyTea™. These research-driven ingredients help increase energy levels, and boost metabolism and calorie-burning, thereby helping you support your weight loss goals when you combine Hydroxycut? with diet and exercise. By adding Hydroxycut to your overall plan, you can lose up to 4.5 times THE WEIGHT than diet and exercise alone. Subjects using the primary ingredients in Hydroxycut? lost, on average, significantly more weight than subjects using a placebo (14.99 vs. 3.06 lbs. and 12.54 vs. 3.53 lbs.) in two 8-week studies in which all groups followed a diet and exercise plan.

2. What's in Hydroxycut??
Hydroxycut? is a combination of ingredients that can help you achieve your weight-loss goals when combined with diet and exercise. Included are two proprietary compounds - Hydroxagen? Plus™ and HydroxyTea™ - that help boost your metabolism, increase energy levels, burn more calories, and ultimately support weight loss up to 4.5 times the weight than diet and exercise alone. This special combination of proprietary ingredients is exclusive to Hydroxycut?. They can't be found in any other supplement! Remember that Hydroxycut? also contains Gymnema Sylvestre extract which can promote normal blood sugar levels. Stable blood sugar levels can help reduce cravings, which can ultimately help you lose weight. To view the labeled ingredients, click here.

3. Does Hydroxycut? contain ephedra?
No. Hydroxycut? does not contain ephedra.

^ top
4. Are the ingredients in Hydroxycut? supported by research?
Yes, key ingredients in the Hydroxycut? formula are supported by research. In two 8-week studies, subjects using the primary ingredients in Hydroxycut? (Garcinia cambogia extract, chromium polynicotinate, and Gymnema sylvestre extract) lost on average significantly more weight than subjects using a placebo (14.99 vs. 3.06 lbs. and 12.54 vs. 3.53 lbs.) in which all groups followed a diet and exercise plan. Therefore, the significantly greater weight loss observed in the groups taking the primary ingredients in Hydroxycut? can be directly attributed to the use of this unique combination of ingredients.

In the same studies, subjects using the primary ingredients in Hydroxycut? experienced average decreases in BMI that were significantly larger than that of subjects using a placebo (2.3 vs. 0.7 kg/m2 and 2.7 vs. 0.5 kg/m2).

Another study showed that subjects who consumed other ingredients found in Hydroxycut? (green tea containing 90 mg EGCG and a total of 200 mg of caffeine) showed an average 24-hour caloric expenditure of 158 kcal higher than when using a placebo (2410 kcals/day vs 2252 kcals/day).




5. What type of exercise and nutrition plan should I follow when taking Hydroxycut??
Regular exercise and proper nutrition are essential for achieving your weight-loss goals. Follow a program consisting of resistance training and aerobic exercises performed at a level that is comfortable for you. For weight loss, many nutrition experts recommend a calorie-reduced diet moderately high in protein, moderately low in carbohydrates, and low in fat. Protein should come from foods like lean chicken, beef, and fish. Carbohydrate sources should include foods like rice, whole-grain breads, fruits, and vegetables. Also, ensure that your diet includes healthy fats (like flax and fish oils) and is low in saturated and trans fats.

When you combine Hydroxycut? with your diet and workout plan, you're giving yourself an edge in your quest for a lean, attractive body!
