    doesn't do ****. i used to say that they are just loaded with caffeine, and they were. now i think they have a different active ingredient


    you'd be better off with caffeine pills lol.

    at best, they'd give you more 'energy' to work out.

    I haven't used it but I think it's comparable to other stimulants on the market in the US. If you use it in conjunction with working out, it can allow you to work out longer or harder due to your heart beating faster. Your body does build up a tolerance so it can only be used for a short time. It might help you get over a hurdle if you have hit a plateau.

    In other words, it can run you the potential risk for heart damage, right? Is it safe to assume anything that pushes you further than your body is naturally willing to allow is harmful? Not worth the risk. Not worth the money

    There is no magic pill ... sorry. If you are truly bottom of the barrel unfit then the caffeine loaded ones can help you to do better workouts. But that's where there benefit ends.

    In all my years of trying various diet pills, I have only found three kinds:

    1. The kind that works great but then gets banned.

    2. The kind that hasn't been banned yet but probably will be, and that yes, might have unknown, harmful (likely cardiac) effects. In other words, natural stimulants.

    3. That other kind of diet pill that either flat out doesn't work or used to work before they got reformulated due to getting one or more ingredients banned.


    And I think that's all I've got to say about it.

    Oh wait, one more thing: Even if you find something that works, don't expect it to work forever. Stimulants are really easy to build a tolerance for.

    Okay, one more thing: Before you go pill shopping, try plain old caffeinated coffees and teas. If you don't already have a tolerance, you might be pleasantly surprised at the appetite suppressing benefits of sipping on one or both all day. A lot of the current crop of diet pills are full of nothing but different forms of caffeine anyway.

    Not sure what it is but the name implies that all you are "cutting" is water.

    hydroxy cut works the secret to it is you take the pills, then take what ever meal you are about to eat. cut everything in half and throw half away. next you go outside and run. ;)

    the secret to dieting is……wait for it…..EAT AT A DEFICIT! Be patient..you did not put it on in xx days, you can't safely take it off in xx days. Get a scale, weigh and measure everything, eat back a percentage of your exercise calories, stay hydrated, observe rest days and get adequate sleep. Good luck! :flowerforyou:

    Yep, that is the secret all right. But some of us will eternally chase the secret of eating at a deficit or maintenance without feeling so hungry all the time. And the diet pills that work are the ones that kill appetite.

    Edit: Not trying to be rude, though. Sorry if it came off a bit snarky. I just hate hate hate being hungry!

    Had a friend take hydroxycut for months and he got sent to the hospital because his resting heart rate was so high. It's not a safe product for weight loss.

    If you want more energy, just eat a balanced diet of fats/carbs/protein , drink plenty of water and get a good nights sleep. An extra kick? Coffee, tea, dark chocolate.
