Any women using any really great products for fat loss on top of their diet/exercise plan? I heard Hydroxycut Elite was pretty good but after reading the reviews on bodybuilding.com it seems like mostly men use it and that it's got some pretty strong side effects. Any feedback/thoughts are welcome!

    I've had a really good experience with OxyElite Pro. I took it for awhile last spring and just recently started again. I am VERY sensitive to 'uppers' and this does not make me feel lightheaded or weird. Just focused and full of energy. The makers recently took out the 1-3 dimethyl from the OxyElite and re-released it. I still prefer the old version (if you can find it where you live). I take one in the AM and then another in the afternoon before I run. Good stuff!!

    I should add that NO fat burner is effective unless you are working out and eating properly.. it should only assist you in your weight loss/overall fat burning.. :)

    I bought a 2-pack hydroxicut late last year before I started p90X and started eating properly. I lost 28 lbs+ and 14% body fat without using the 'fat burner'. Hmm...I'm not sure if I still can return them to costco. LOL

    I was coming here to post that is heard of a great one called exercise. For once, we agree. :)

    Short cuts mean you'll just gain it all back.

    I am trying extra strength lipozene, but haven't been on it for very long. My sister recommended it and said it really worked for her.

    If you take it as directed, it is intended as an appetite supressant. Before taking it myself, I did notice that it seemed to give my sister more energy. My husband jokingly referred to it as legalized speed, because my sister just seemed so energized!

    It is available at Walmart and their site has reviews at the following link:

    1) Every diet supplement says "with diet and exercise." That's an indication of what actually does the work.

    2) If a pill was good enough to make you lose weight, there'd not be a fat person left in America.

    I want to know how these "supplements/burners" work. Don't you notice they never say "how" they work? What are the effects on the body? They never tell you! Why?

    everyone I know that have use weight loss suppliments gained all that weigts right back as soon as they stopped using it. all that crap is not good for your body at all, what is good and your body will love is a good diet, not a 1200 calorie starve yourself diet, but a good TDEE minus 20% of good healthy food, and a good amount of exercise, and the crazy part is, it works, very well, and then the weight stays off as long as you keep up the good habits

    I've heard rave reviews on this new thing called methamphetamine. Apparently the side effects are a bit rough though.

    Calm down people. I am sticking to my calorie counting and exercising with lifting 2-3 times a week. I was asking NICELY about advice on supplements ON TOP of diet and exercise plans. GEEZ!!!! Who needs all the sarcasm and snarky comments?! Just wanted some advice!

    You got good advice here. Don't let your frustration of how it was delivered sway you from it.

    Hey

    I got some yesterday. took them as advised, felt good and done my workout. I had taken them at 4pm and never slept a wink last night and still feel 'buzzing' just now. Its such a horrible feeling. I was just wanting an energy boost really but blegh. I'm in the uk and used semtex but from what i hear the ones on myprotein called thermopure are good. I'm just going to put it down to bad judgement in my case and try to do it with diet and exercise alone. I'm not used to high caffeine either so mybe it was too much for me, everyone is different.

    There's a reason so many people said the very same thing to you. short cuts just don't work in the LONG TERM. They may help you drop a bunch of weight quickly (and unhealthily) but what happens when you stop taking the pills? What's the endgame? Much better to figure out the best way for you to lose weight through a combination of exercise and eating well that you can maintain the rest of your life without having to resort to dangerous pills. It's much, much cooler to know that you have absolute control over your body, than to give that control away to pharmaceutical companies and the weight-loss industry.

    Do it the right way, and you'll be happy you did.

    Work out an extra day a week, and eat more whole foods, and the weight will drop off.

    lol Looks like you asked the wrong question. :laugh: Since you didn't come here to be flamed for something you probably (hopefully) already know, I'll tell you worked for me. I use Oxyelite Pro and it helps majorly with appetite suppressant and giving me energy to make it though the day. I'm still using a bottle of the old formula and it is VERY potent. I'm not sure how the new stuff is, but I would recommend starting off with only one a day and make sure you drink plenty of water and eat soon. If you are just looking for something to boost your energy for a workout, I would recommend a pre-workout. I've used several of them and my favorites are C4 and Jack3d from GNC. They give me that kick I need in the afternoon to make it to the gym and I feel like they help me perform better. I like the Oxyelite because it stops my cravings but the preworks are nice because they do the job and wear off faster.

    Wow there was whole lot of fighting words to your post huh? Guess no one learned how to give advice like a nice person...(that was for all those writing rude responses to a perfectly normal question most woman who start excercise and diet programs have)

    I was exactly like you in wanting to know who had taken what and what had worked for different people, eventually went through about 20 different pills to find that none of them really worked to do anything but make me jittery and not sleep at night lol so gave up on them, upped my food intake, and made myself get off the couch in those lazy moments when my body wanted to start storing fats.

    Hope you find the answers your looking for, as no one is wrong at all, just rude.
