Cellucor Super HD (or any other fat burning supplements)

Hi all! I've been hearing a LOT about HD and I was wondering if anyone on here has any personal experience with it or opinions? Good or bad. I'm very curious. I'm having a lot of trouble with fat in some "trouble" areas and I'm kind of interested in using a fat burner. I know some are really bad for you, especially if you don't have a healthy, consistent diet. I tried a fat burner about 4 years ago, but I by no means had a healthy diet and it messed up my stomach. Now, I exercise regularly and have cleaned up my diet pretty well. I do Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 6 days a week and usually take long walks. I'm currently just ending week 2 of Ripped in 30 and will be starting week 3 tomorrow. After I'm done w/ Ripped, I will be moving on to No More Trouble Zones by Jillian as well (I stick to her dvd's because I love them and she kicks my butt!) I just wanted to know, do you have to be a body builder to use this stuff? Should I be a weight lifter in order to take it? ANY input would be helpful! I know you might not be doctors or nutritionists, I'm not expecting any professional opinions. Just personal 
Thanks!
Thanks! 0

Fat burning supplements are not well received 'round these parts.0

I have taken one cycle a year ago and just started another one yesterday. Last year, I wasn't doing everything else right to see a big difference. This year, I've been a little more strategic in my approach. I personally love HD. The caffeine jolt is crazy, so be prepared for that. It will work if you're doing everything else right. Good diet, strength training, cardio, supplementation. I'm tracking EVERYTHING. My food, my routine, my weight, pics, everything. I can keep you in the loop on my progress if you'd like!1

I've used the stuff with a lot of success in the past. But be prepared, like Alphastate said; this stuff is POTENT. I've never been able to take the max does and I've taken many different fat burners in the past. The tweak and heat on this stuff reminds me of the days of legal ephedrine, although ephedrine was slightly better. Just be prepared and follow the directions on the bottle. It tends to raise your body heat so don't be surprised if you feel warm after taking it. But if the max dose nauseates you, then stick with one pill in the AM.0 -

That would be awesome! See, what I'm worried about is the fact that I don't do a lot of weights or strength training. I use my body weight as resistance while working out and I do a lot of cardio, but that's about it. I try to hit my macros 40/30/30 Carbs/proteins/fats. Key word "TRY" I'm still new to macros and I'm really trying to get on board with it. The one thing I want out of it is fat burn! I can feel my abs below my layer of fat and I can feel my quads and definitely SEE the progress, but there's that stubborn fat around it that's just getting me down!0 -
ughhhh personally, Cellucor HD does nothing for me. neither does Hydroxicut. Appetite suppressant my *kitten*. I think I'm even hungrier on fat burners. your diet definitely has to be on point otherwise its useless. ie. clean eating, hit your macros, work out and such. when i did use it, i would take it first thing am and then do fasted cardio.
if youre just looking for a pop of energy, i much prefer Optimum Pre Workout. great caffeine boost, great pump and no crashes.
I use Campus Protein's FUEL as a pre workout and I love it! Though, I only use one scoop, any more than that I can feel it sloshing in my belly while working out and I almost vomit lol.0 -

I drink one-two cups of coffee every morning, I'm assuming I wouldn't want to do that if I take the supp then?? Haha. I've read a lot about the caffeine charge when people take it, I think I'd only start out with one in the morning for a couple days then bump up to one in the morning and one 5-6 hours later just to ease myself into it.0 -
I took it and liked it. I've never really taken diet pills for weight loss though. More to get through 9 to 16hr days of working0

hmm...Would you think I would need to lift weights in order for this to work? Or do you think doing Ripped in 30 and No More Trouble Zones (Jillian Michaels dvds) will be ok? That's what I'm concerned about...not getting any results because I don't lift lol.
Thanks everyone for your input! I really appreciate it! 0 -
Do you do ab exercises? That will help them pop out. I've read that HD is good for the stubborn fat, that's one of the reasons I took it the first time. I can't really speak to the need for weight lifting while on them, but I strongly say that pushing yourself harder with weight training while on them will help burn calories, I sweat like crazy working out!I have taken one cycle a year ago and just started another one yesterday.

Point taken. Agreed and won't interfere again.0 -
If you want real fat loss results you need to lift. it's possible to do challenging bw routines, but a progressive weight training routine is still the best and EASIEST way to go. Hit your minimum macos in protein and fat, and get as close as you can to your calorie goal. fit in some treats tat are 10% of your calories for the day for your sanity if you want.
it really can be that simple.0 -
Meant to quote the first sentence...apparently MFP was against me.0

A diet pill that worked?
That would be international news, surely?0 -

I would recommend you still be careful. You can probably still drink the coffee but I'd say take the pill first and see if you still need the coffee; I doubt you will. I've taken a lot of supplement laded caffeine over the year to the point where I now detox one a quarter just to reset my tolerance. I've gone up to a gram a day before and still the super HD was too strong. It wasn't the caffeine though, there is something else that nauseates the heck out of me, probably too much green tea extract.0 -

It doesn't claim to be some "magic weight loss" pill!
I don't understand why people that are so anti-supplement keep coming on these threads to talk about things they either:
a: know nothing about and have never tried
b: maybe have tried, but expected it to be that "magic weight loss pill" and failed
It's not magic....it's a supplement, and it may help some people. The fat burning aspect is up for debate, but to say it can't help with energy and appetite supressing is dumb unless you've tried it.
In fact many of the people that bash these things have no problem drinking massive amounts of caffeine, which also has some of the same effect!
If you don't like it, don't use it....but why be negative about someone trying to ask a simple question?0 -

:noway: :noway: :noway:
ab exercises, or any other exercise, don't make the muscles 'pop out', unless your bf is already really low.
the calorie burn for most people during weight lifting is minimal. it works to bring out the abs, but not bc of the calorie burn during the workout. lifting both strengthens the muscles and changes body composition to lose fat while keeping muscle.0 -

Everyone needs to chillax a bit. Neither one of us posted anything negative... I asked what it was and he copied/pasted from a website he found. I don't see anything wrong with that.0 -

Thanks everyone for your input! I really appreciate it!
No, you wouldn't have to lift. Any type of actvity would be fine. They give you that little boost of energy that you might need to get over that 'lazy' hump. At least they do for me. I say if your healthy and you've read the warning label, take em.0 -
I was on it and it worked great for me....i wasnt lifting i was doing a lot of cardio....i took a long break like recommended and...i am now doing p90x and just started it back up today along with CLK...im excited!!

Thank You!!...if someone wants to take something...or workout or eat a certain way that is their business....theres no sense in being negative just because you dont support it...everyone gets results their own way!! There is NO harm in asking a question for help or guidance!0 -

THANK YOU!!! I was clearly just asking a simple question. No, it is not magic. I still work out, I still monitor my diet. It just gives me an extra "boost" of energy and helps with metabolism. As he said, you don't agree? Don't give your input. Thanks.0 -

WOOOO! If you see this, please let me know of your results!! My friend is taking the HD in a stack w/ CLK and I'm excited to see her results. I've only been taking HD and LOVE it! Sometimes I get a bit jittery or sweaty, but then I grab a snack and feel just fine It's helped me lose the 5 lbs of water weight I gained from the beginning of this month AND an additional 1 lb. Might not sound like much, only 1 lb, but when you've been at a plateau forever it really is wonderful!! 0
