Heart Health Dangers



Hydroxycut is designed to reduce appetite and increase metabolism. However, serious side effects have been reported by people who use it. Hydroxycut contains caffeine, which can speed up the heart rate and put people at risk for heart attacks. The combination of willow bark, natural aspirin and caffeine in the form of guarana increase this risk as well as the risk for high blood pressure, heart murmurs and stroke.


Kidney Dangers



Along with caffeine and aspirin, Hydroxycut contains potassium. Potassium and calcium are included to help regulate weight loss, but they can interfere with kidney treatments. People with kidney ailments have to limit their potassium intake and should therefore be careful about taking Hydroxycut.

Warning for Diabetics

Nay

NO.

For whatever its worth, a good friend of mine took it a good while back and said it worked but they have since changed the "recipe" and they are pretty much useless now...

I took it for just over a week before because I was lazy and didnt want to put the effort in to lose weight and it made me CRANKY! jitters all the time and angry at the world from the minute I woke up in the morning, no joke. The day I stopped I felt GREAT. I regret every minute I wasted on those things.

Besides ALL the health risks, in the end I think they are just expensive caffeine pills, green tea and coffee have the same affect and are much cheaper. If you eat well and exercise I don't think you need them. Good luck

Just buy yourself some caffeine pills, save a ton of money and it will provide the same energy without whatever else is in the proprietary blend.

I tried them and every now and then when I need a boost I still take them. They will give you a jump start. But what I learned is that certain vegetables also give me a jump start such as peppers (red, yellow, green)

Agree on this. I love the energy, so I have tried some of these different pills (a friend of mine works at GNC and gives me samples of stuff from time to time) They dont make me jittery or anything really, I have no health issues though. But if its me BUYING something, I just get a cheap caffiene pill, or my fav thing to do is have strong coffee mixed with protein powder prior to a workout. Gives me the kick in the butt I need to get in there and work my hardest, which is all those expensive pills really do anyway! And as someone else said, I did once take them for about 30 days and when I stopped I WAS REALLY REALLY REALLY MEAN!! For like a week I was the biggest ***** EVER!

I tried them a few years ago and I felt like my heart was gong to beat right out of my chest....it was the scariest feeling. I just kept talking and talking and was just bouncing off the walls... I flushed them away... I would definitely suggest staying away from any of those "diet pills"...

I've never gained anything but shakiness and headaches from products like that. If you need a boost of energy have a coffee or espresso an hour before the gym. Real results come from real work! If products like these actually did good and worked everyone would be on them. Eat clean and stay active! You got this girl!!!

Feb. 15th I decided enough was enough. I reached my highest ever on my weight of 288. I started taking hydroxycut as a boost to my diet and exercise program that I was going to be starting. I took them as the directions read.. but, started getting really jittery. I started having heart palpitations and my breathing became erratic. So, I cut back on the dosage. Eventually stopping entirely. After a few weeks, some research, and long talk with a good friend. i decided to start taking them again at a lower dosage than directed. Its been 75 days since I started my diet and exercise regimen and so far I have lost 51 lbs. It does give you a lot of energy. That's certain. Am I losing weight because of it? Most likely not. But having the energy does certainly help.

big nayyyyy! thats a quick fix, longterm fixes are best. besides diet and exercise try looking into intermittent fasting! could give you some articles if youd like... i recommend it to anyone trying to loose excess weight...all it really is, is schedualed eating..gives tremendous health benefits

Coffee is cheap and tastes good. No need for pills.
