Does Hydroxycut make a difference?

Hello All!

I started taking hydrxycut max today and have a few questions.

I am flying to see my boyfriend in 4 weeks and want to look better by then!
My goal is to lose 10 lbs by then, but i would have to cut out too many calories to reach that safely.
Will taking this diet supplement help me melt the pounds faster?
And if so, how much more will i expect to lose vs not taking it?



And by the way, I know the health risks, I have read up on them and studied it before buying the product

Thanks!

its true alot of them will make u a jittery mess. the only one ive saw since the bad ephedra rap is hot rox. thats the only one that seems to be halfway decent. hydroxy has changed their formula a million times.

1) The photos of you ARE NOT FAT - NOT FAT AT ALL. I've NEVER said this to anyone here and am only saying it because it worries me.

Hydroxicut and other similiar products used to contain ephedrine. Once the ephedrine was taken out after it's use was made illegal in nutritional supplements hydroxicut became a really, really expensive energy pill.

EC stack (ephedrine and caffiene) is the best, cheapest fat burner legally available, although you have to lie to get it (you have to sign a paper saying you will use the ephedrine, in the form of the product Bronkaid, as directed for dilating the bronchial tube.) If you want more info on it, the best site to go to is hotnfit.com. That website is considered the authority on the cubject currently.

Will it make a difference in 4 weeks? Hell no it won't. I didn't use it to help me lose more weight. Rather, I used it to make dieting more tolerable, as part of its appeal is as an appetite supressant. It does also have a thermogenic affect, helping to keep your metabolism burning even while you go an a caloric deficit. It also give syou energy to help with the "down" feeling some get while dieting.

It's not unreasonable for you to want to drop a few pounds, even though you are obviously already at a healthy weight. But there are two things that are extremely important, the first being self image. A diluted self image is what leads to most eating disorders. If you look in the mirror right now and see yourself as fat and gross, then you're heading down a really bad path. If you see yourself as a healthy young women who can lose a few lbs if and only if you really want to, then you're doing alright.

The second thing is patience. 10 lbs in 4 weeks is unreasonable. It's an unrealistic expectation, and the desire to do something unhealthy to reach an unreasonable goal is also a bad trend to set. There's nothing wrong with wanting to look good for your signifigant other, as long as you remember that if he really loves you then what he wants is for you to be happy and healthy.

Caffiene, Taurine, Ephedra and such don't have anything do to with the Metabolism.

They make your heart race ..I.E Artificially elevated Heart Rate. That's why the side effects are so bad.

If you actually take the time to look up each individual ingredient in the stuff, you'll find that most of it has no proven use what-so-ever while the caffiene content is equivalent to about 10 cups of coffee.

That being said, as Caffiene is a natural diuretic...so called Weight loss comes due to frequent trips to the bathroom.

This weight loss however is NOT fat loss. It would be Water weight that's directly associated with Lean mass...not fat.

Furthermore, since Lean Mass is directly correlated to the metabolism, and lose of healthy lean weight results in a drop of the metabolism and an expected weight gain later down the road.

There are no quick fixes or cheats to losing weight. It's a long-term path of lifestyle changes over time.

Consider this...no one in the world has ever gone to bed looking like an Olympian and woken up a biggest Loser contestant. So how can people expect the opposite to happen?

A study performed by PA Daly, DR Krieger, AG Dulloo, JB Young, and L Landsberg (1993), ephedrine was combined with caffeine and aspirin. They used 24 obese individuals in a randomized double blind placebo-controlled study for an eight-week study followed by two other long-term studies. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the efficacy and safety of ECA. The first phase of the study included the administration of treatments three times a day, 30 minutes before meals. They measured weight, blood pressure and heart rate, and side effects at the end of week 1, 4, 6, and 8. The mean weight loss for ECA was significantly higher than the placebo group (P value of .003). There were no significant differences between ECA and placebo concerning blood pressure and heart rate. Side effects for the placebo group consisted of dry mouth (2), constipation (1), and jitteriness (1). The ECA group had complaints in each of these areas; 2, 2, and 3 respectively. In phase two of this study, nine patients were used and evaluated at the end of week 2, 4, 6, and 8. This study was performed five months later for another eight weeks; however, this time it was an un-blinded study. The mean weight loss of ECA was significantly greater, providing a P value of .09. Once again there was no significant difference between these groups with respect to blood pressure and heart rate. Side effects were only found in ECA consisting of dry mouth. This did not continue throughout the experiment. In the last phase, six of these subjects were used and evaluated every month ranging from 7 to 26 months. The increase in weight loss was significant statistically and clinically because the weight loss happened without the restriction of calorie intake. In conclusion of this experiment, the ECA group lost more weight than the placebo group. It was also concluded that ephedrine taken over an extended period of time was still safe and still provided weight loss.

Just saying you might want to check your facts. I can find studies on caffeine if you like.
