Hydroxycut

cool order of events going on in here...

Started taking hydroxycut today. . . can anyone give me any thoughts about this good and bad.

It's just a placebo plus a little caffeine, but hey, placebos work. Just don't use it for too long. That stuff can't be good for you.

I say take them when you're tired. They're basically speed

Also....if you buy these things based on online reviews....don't. The companies that sell them pay people to give positive reviews. And on sites like Amazon where you can rate someone's review as helpful or unhelpful? They rate all the negative, real reviews as unhelpful and the positive, fake ones as helpful. That pushes the negative to the bottom and positive to the top.

Not sure if ephedra is still in them (might be banned now) but I'm going to leave this here. This guy was my old hitting coach's roomate in the minor leagues.

There is no magic pill, just hard work.

Why are you searching for motivation in a pill? That makes ZERO sense to me. Eat less and move more. It's simple.

I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but seriously. If you're not happy with your current weight then DO something about it instead of expecting a pill to do all of the hard work for you.

I lost 13lbs the old fashioned way and have since plateaued. I've lost just 2lbs since May 12th and I still have around 20-25ish to go! I drink green tea a lot and have a cup of coffee every other morning. I'm not very sensitive to caffeine, so it takes a lot to get me going. That's why I decided to try Hydroxycut too.... as some other people have suggested, drinking a whole pot of coffee probably gives the same effect, but who can/wants to do that?!

I have been taking the Hydroxycut Hardcore Elite for the past week. I started out as the directions say, taking just 1 capsule for the first two days, then taking 2 before breakfast for the past 5 days (I haven't taken the second daily dosage at all yet, starting out slower as I've read it's better to do). My weight has stayed exactly the same for the past week.

Some people only lose with this because of dehydration, but I drink a LOT of water. The only good thing so far has been an increase in energy, which has helped push me through my workouts, etc. I know that weight loss pills are a "waste of money" but hoped this would help push me through this plateau with higher intensity workouts.

Unless you're willing to put in the extra work, this will not magically help with weight loss. Use the extra energy though and stop taking them if they make you too jittery or light headed! I have had no side effects yet, but they're really not something to play around with.

Please stop taking them right now. I once took Zantrex and it screwed with my heart and head. It took three months for my heartbeat to go back to normal and slightly less time for the headaches to go away. I didn't feel energetic, just anxious and paranoid. I actually thought my heart was going to explode.

If you're not feeling the side effects now, I hope you're one of the lucky ones to never experience the havoc these so-called "miracle pills" can cause. You said that they put you in the right frame of mind to eat healthy and exercise? I think you owe yourself credit for that. If a diet pill were capable of this, then it's not a diet pill.
