Supplements like Hydroxicut

I've tried them all. If you are overweight and have health insurance or can see a doctor, go see a family practitioner (general doctor) and ask them to prescribe you diet medicine. They will monitor your health, your heart (this is important), and give you good advise without trying to make money off your problem. My advice is NEVER go to those fake "doctors" that are for weight-loss only, go to your regular doctor. Mine prescribed me phentermine 37.5mg, which I cut in half, take half in the morning and half around 3pm. This gives me energy, keeps my apitite normal, and doesn't make me jittery. I get it at Costco for around $15.00 for 30 pills.

I have high blood pressure so I feel good knowing I have a regular doctor monitoring my health. If I don't loose weight, show progress or if my blood pressure gets too high, she will not continue to prescribe it. I hope this was helpful.

Alot of these diet pills end up being so dangerous for your body. its not worth it-just exercise and watch what you put in your body and it will thank you in the long run.

I would say not to use them, there are plenty of better ways to loose the weight and keep it off with not needing a quick fix. There is a rule that take the weight off fast it will come back just as fast, take it off the right way with regular exercise and watching what you eat or what the portions and it will come off. I was in the army for 11 years and have helped over 60 people loose 45lbs and pills are not the way to go. I wish you the best of luck and i hope you make your goal.

Good question. I did use Hydroxycut a few years ago and really liked it in the beginning. I could really tell I was burning more calories because I was getting so much hotter and sweatier during workouts (it's a thermogenic). BUT...not too long after I started taking it, I started having chest pains and pressure on my chest when I'd work out. NOT COOL. I stopped taking them immediately and haven't since.

The other thing to think about with supplements is the lure...they promise faster weight loss because you're taking their product. I always ask myself, "so what happens if I lose the weight and then stop taking their product?" I certainly wouldn't want to take something like that for the rest of my life to maintain weight loss. As someone said earlier, the most important ingredients to long-lasting weight loss are watching what we eat and exercising. CONSISTENCY of these is really the key, instead of being "all on" and then "all off" again. Doing the right things, just one day at a time, can turn into a lot of days and terrific long-term results. Keep taking advantage of the support on here! Feel free to add me if you'd like. Good luck!!!!
