    ALL fat burners are pretty useless. You might get a "jolt" of energy, but that's from the stimulants in it. No thermogenic works without calorie deficit. And calorie deficit STILL WORKS without the thermogenic.
    People who may possible benefit from thermogenics: competitive fitness, figure, bikini and bodybuilding trying to lose that last bit before comp. And even then they aren't using Hydroxycut. Prescription drugs are more likely.

    Is there a "fat burner" out there that isn't just basically caffeine?

    Well sure, but people refuse to hold still when I get out the acetylene torch.

    I'm not sure what the active ingredient of Hydroxycut is (I haven't looked) but I bet its essentially caffeine or some variant. All "fat burners" are are stimulants that elevate your heart rate which is a response you can get from drinking a cup of coffee. Now if you feel your workouts improve by drinking coffee right beforehand then maybe you would benefit, but in that case I'd just go with the cheaper cup of coffee.

    From a CNN article

    "Hydroxycut used to contain ephedra until it was banned by the FDA for triggering heart attacks and at least one death specifically linked to Hydroxycut. Iovate replaced that active ingredient with garcinia cambogia"


    Ephedra is a powerful stimulant. Garcina cambogia as far as I can tell is just todays magic bean. To my knowledge it is supposed to be an appetite suppressant which is an odd thing to market as a "fat burner".

    Yes, I agree. My best friend has been taking Hydroxycut for a week so I was wondering if anyone has successfully completed the process with it.

    and looked up hydroxycut-sx-7 and yeah the active ingredient is caffeine and coffee beans...the rest is a bunch of colorful bullsh*t.

    From the hydroxycut website, one of the ingredients that isn't caffeine or coffee beans:

    "Salvia officinalis
    Premium compound that synergistically contributes to the sensory experience."

    lolwut?

    I looked up Savia offcinalis...know what it is? Its sage. Yeah...sage.

    nutmeg. Yeah, nutmeg is another ingredient. You know that thing that they have the free bottle of in coffee shops that you can sprinkle on your latte...for free.

    So yeah its a can of flavored coffee for about 20x the cost of coffee.

    You can get the same results just drinking some good strong coffee.

    Here is my personal experience with caffeine as a workout supplement. I recognize this is anecdote and I don't claim my personal experience applies to everyone but thought I'd share. This little experiment was unintentional, I just happened to have an energy drink mid afternoon followed by a workout shortly there after.

    When I workout I like to push for progression, max myself out during a workout to the point where I can't push myself further. That point typically comes where I reach my maximum heartrate. Caffeine elevates my heartrate and that effect seems compounded further by exercise. So what happened to me? Well I found that I hit that wall much EARLIER when I had caffeine because, of course, my heart was pounding out of my chest much faster than had I not had the caffeine. So for me it seemed very counterproductive...I was able to workout for less duration with less intensity because of it...not more.

    I get that some people swear by it so it must do something for them but I do not really comprehend how elevating your heartrate prior to exercise is going to help you exercise when exercise itself elevates your heartrate and when you hit a max heartrate you are going to not be able to sustain for long.

    Ive used it before and I actually really like it. I don't like taking a ton of pre workouts and i like the fact that it has yohimbie. I love it and have actually noticed a difference in my body. Ive lost 5% of my body fat in 2 and a half months. I would highly recommend it especially the added energy because I really do notice a difference in my workouts especially my dreaded cardio.

    I think with a lot of these things if the user believe it works, than it works. It's a mental battle really. Just remember, supplements like that are meant to "assist" with weight loss and overall fitness... not a magic fix. You can't expect to just pop a pill and be thin and fit. Like with any over the counter weight loss aid just make sure you read the label, the pro's, the con's, etc. Make sure it doesn't interfere with any prescriptions you may be on and make sure you watch for any side effects. I had taken various supplements off and on and found that most of them do nothing. I tend to stick to things like iron, zinc, etc. because my body lacks in certain nutrients.

    I've tried some of there stuff.....IMHO, since they got bought out//soldout/transiitioned from the "MuscleTech" name - they are trying to be the new Slim Fast.....lol. I dont say that in a bad way, but check there site, they got all sorts of testimonials there.....and now hell, they even have "Protein Shakes" - "sprinkles" (reminds me of Sensa really.....lol. now granted, I dont remember what "sensa" had as far as ingredients.....but yea. The whole fact that they sprinkle on the food, just makes me associate it with Sensa lol) - they even have a new frothy drink mix you put into your morning cup of coffee that appears to be green coffee bean.

    Like I said, I've tried some of there stuff, never tried the stuff with ephedra....lol. But I tried the new version, and it's definitely an upper....when i took it I was bouncing off the walls and got **** done (lol taken before work - not a desk job thank god lol).....was good times.

    But yes, like all things, its not gonna make miracles happen, you still gotta eat right, and watch your cals......I use it on occassion as a "supplement" - 1 bottle maybe every 6 months......definitely not long term

    The gal I worked for in college took it for a while. It made her completely nuts, she literally went around and apologized personally to all of the staff after she stopped taking it because she was so awful. ....and she was still fat.
