hydroxicut!

I wouldnt take it. By the way. If you want more responses, try posting in the general weightloss section, the only reason being that there's more people there. But, yeah, I wouldnt take it.

I have never been a fan of those kinds of products. The best way to lose weight is to control your calories, work out and drink lots of water. It is hard work, but the best way to lose and sustain the weight loss.

but, what happens if your headaches come back? Why not keep them out, instead?

I tried it 10 years ago, right after I had my daughter, and I recall my heart feeling like it might explode out of my chest. I quickly put an end to that.

Did you notify your doctor about taking these pills, and if so, did you let your doctor know about the headaches? Just be careful not to hurt yourself.

I've tried it, but didnt see to many if any results. I just tried the Jillian michales 2 week detox and had a huge allergic reaction to week 2's pills. To help me get a little boost, I wanted to try to detox myself. I was doing the every other day diet, mostly eggs chicken, bell peppers, leafy greens and couscous and rice. to give a little boost, i tried the cleansing and detox pills. I followed the directions. In the morning, I had 2 pills with a 16 oz bottle of water, and again at night. the first week went great. felt more energized and cleaner. week 2 was 3 in the morning and 2 at night with main meal. thats where the troiuble was.

week 2's pills started to make me really sick... allerigic reaction sick. I don't know what it was, but on day 2 of week 2 i had broken out all over my face, and i havent had a zit since i was 17, other than pregnancy, got a rash on my chest, and began having bad nose bleeds.

needless to say i didnt complete the second week. the break out has cleared, and so has the rash and nose bleeds.

If anyone is concidering this, please think twice!

Jillian's wikipedia says she has gotten sued over a couple of the pill-boxes with her face on it, this is what it says about the detox suit (not that I think Wikipedia is the end-all defacto fact site) -

"In August 2010, a $10 million class action suit was filed against Michaels and Thin Care International over the ingredients in Triple Process Total Body Detox and Cleanse. The plaintiff in the case is a registered dietician who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation.[15] According to the suit, the supplement in question contained ingredients that could allegedly cause gastrointestinal ulcers, digestive distress and even irreversible liver damage. The suit also alleged that these ingredients represented a "potentially lethal combination." The Courthouse News Service reported that the plaintiff claimed that the suit was not about the money, but that "she simply wants [Michaels and Thin Care] to stop poisoning the public and give consumers their money back."[16]

While experts interviewed about the supplements doubted that they could prove fatal, they agreed that they were ineffective. Lynn Willis, professor emeritus of pharmacology at Indiana University called one of the supplements "an absurdity" and "completely bogus." Dr. Keith Ayoob, director of the Nutrition Clinic at Albert Einstein College of Medicine also suggested that "if you have any of these problems or need help losing weight, see your physician, not Jillian Michaels."

There are too mayny unknows in the pills, and I've tried a great deal of them. Hydroxycut was already pulled off the shelfs for being linked to liver dammage, and if you've already had bad headaches from the usage, think of what could happen if you continued.

id google super fruits and food if you want to get an edge.

Most people on these boards will advise to stay away from pills, that they don't work, and that you're wasting your money.

It did wonders for Anna Nicole Smith.......

Why do people think that taking these things means you are not allowed to workout and diet as well?

If you have any preexisting conditions I wouldn't bother, but I used them myself I didn't have any bad reactions whatsoever. Just more weight loss than normal. They worked exceptionally for me. I didn't just rely on them- I was also doing daily workouts, lifting, and a protein diet. I also used Lipo6 and got similar results by swapping back and forth between the two. I went from 341 to 265 in roughly 3 1/2 months doing this.

My brother initially used them and said I could try them if I wanted. He had similar results to me. He lost close to 200 lbs in less than a year and pretty muscular now, so I figured why not

They also didn't have any addiction affect for me- when I started running low, the effect they had on me had lessened and to me they weren't worth the expense. I still lose weight quite fast without it- 9 lbs in the last 2 weeks. Take that for what it's worth.

I tried it around 7 years ago, and had positive energy/weight loss results, but I couldn't keep taking the recommended dose, they were making me feel terrible, to the point that my partner at the time opened the jar and emptied the remaining pills in the bin so I had no choice but to give it up.

I then tried to buy them again a couple of years later (the things we do when we want to lose weight fast!), went into my local GNC and was told the formula had changed and was nowhere near as effective as it used to be, so bought something else instead, that didn't work at all.

At the end of the day, the constant energy to work out and not eat wasn't worth the side effects - even if I did try to go there again, I'm glad I didn't actually do it.

I know you've heard it before, but finding a natural (and preferably from within yourself) source of motivation is going to be all that you need to work out hard and achieve your goals, it might take longer, but it will probably last longest to.

I look at it logically. Since all diet programs feature the phrase "eat right and exercise" I just cut out all the crap and "eat right and exercise." Turns out it saves me a LOT of money and I get the same results. That's just my two cents worth.
