Hydroxycut?

Diet pills are not good for you. You cant take them forever. Natural is better

Diet pills are not the answer! Only good eating choices and exercise will work!! Plus they boost your metabolism!

I too took the Hydroxycut and had a problem with the jitters & crash. I found something else that works far better! With working out & watching, I am down 8 inches in a month & 7lbs. YAHOO!

I take Methyl Drive... it's what GNC recommended to me. I only take it every other to keep feeling the effects. On the days I take it I do a double workout, on days that I don't take it I do a single workout. I know people say to stay away from pills, but I take it because I need the energy. I do not have enough energy on my own to complete workouts, work, and go to school.

My cousin had a heart attack at 23 while taking Stacker 2. I remember the doctor's exact words "If your over-the-counter diet supplements are working, stop taking them". The botton line is these drugs aren't regulated. Since they're labeled as supplements, the FDA doesn't test them for human safety. It wasn't until several people, like my cousin, started reporting heart problems and death, that the FDA got involved and decided to remove the main ingredient ephedrine. I would stay away from them. Who knows what new "natural ingredient" they're using the create the same effect as ephedrine.

Don't waste your money. Check out 'Oxy Elite Pro' by USP labs. That stuff will really get ya moving, haha.

Here are the ingredients in my fat burner: Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Niacin, Vitamin B6, vitamin B12, Green Tea Extract, Cassia Extract, Caffeine, Red Leaf Lettuce Poweder, Cranberry extract, Blueberry extract, Noni Extract, Grapefruit Extract, Apple Cider Vinegar Powder, Pomegranate extract.
other ingredients: soy bean oil, gelatin, purified water, soy lecithin, glycerin, beeswax, annatto, silion dioxide, titanium dioxide, st. johns bread and tumeric.

You have to watch the OTC Fat Burners (especially heat stackers) as a lot of them have caffine AND some sort of phylephrine in them. These should be FDA regulated and are not. They shouldn't be taken by people with heart problems or are very overweight.

I made sure I wasn't taking one that had both. I tried a couple days sample of a heat stacker and felt like I was on speed. When I looked at the bottle it had BOTH of those ingredients. I don't need that. lol

Tried and hated...Too much caffine made me jittery. Also my friend's bloodpressure rose when she took it. I've taken One A Day Energy with just some EGCG in it....the stuff from Green Tea. Now just a cup of Decaf Green Tea helps. Be careful with the diet drugs.

Diet pills can be such bad news but the main thing in Hydroxycut that gave you that "burst" has been removed. It was deemed unsafe

Which is too bad because science has shown that taken in the right doses (and not having any of the preconditions stated on the bottle), that it was fine and effective. Politics had a lot to do with it.

I tried it once before just short of a month and lost about 10lbs right off rip. The only issue was that I could *feel* the caffeine bursts about 15 minutes after taking each dose. Life took over and I stopped taking them, now I'm back on and I'm not getting any rush. Have I become immune? What kind of loss have you seen taking hydroxycut or other brand metabolism enhancer? Did you gain it back when you stopped? What 'rest' period is recommended?

I have tried hydroxycut hardcore pro back in may this year. I found it to be very effective and helpful. Might wanna take some again or will try oxyelite next year when I go on cutting phase again. Fat burner works but I do not recommend you to use it forever.

I would totally NOT use Alli. My husband is a pharmacist and told me the mast common reported side effect is anal leakage. Ewe! No thanks. Lol

I have been using Hydroxycut Hardcore Pro for about a month now and i can say from experience (well my experience, remember each body is different and reacts different) that it has helped me quite a bit. It does suppress my appetite and gives me energy throughout the day. I do supplement it with Opti-Men and Iron tablets, but that's only really out of necessity, got iron deficiency and my diet isn't as balanced as it should be...

Before that i used Stacker 2, before it got banned due to Ephedra. Since then nothing has worked for me till i gave Hardcore Pro a try. The regular Hydroxycut was just a fancy "vitamin pill" for me and didn't do anything.

The Ephedrine/Caffeine stack is much more effective and much cheaper (I got a 2 months supply for 18 bucks). And to those who claim its dangerous....

Here's a RAND study carried out for the National Institutes of Health:
"Safety assessment

RAND reviewed adverse events reported in 52 published randomized controlled clinical trials. No serious adverse events (death, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular/stroke events, seizure, or serious psychiatric events) were reported in the clinical trials. However, evidence from the trials was sufficient to support the conclusion that the use of ephedrine, ephedrine plus caffeine, or ephedra plus caffeine is associated with 2-3 times the risk of nausea, vomiting, psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety and change in mood, autonomic hyperactivity, and palpitations. The contribution of caffeine to these symptoms cannot be determined.

RAND also reviewed 71 cases reported in the published medical literature, 1820 case reports provided by FDA, and more than 18,000 consumer complaints reported to a manufacturer of ephedra-containing dietary supplements. Most of the cases were not well documented so decisions could not be made about the potential relationship between the use of ephedra-containing dietary supplements or ephedrine and the adverse event. A total of 65 cases from the published literature, 241 cases from FDA, and 43 cases from a manufacturer of ephedra-containing dietary supplements were included in the adverse event analysis.

Sentinel events with prior ephedra consumption included 2 deaths, 3 myocardial infarctions, 9 cerebrovascular/stroke events, 3 seizures, and 5 psychiatric cases. Sentinel events with prior ephedrine consumption included 3 deaths, 2 myocardial infarctions, 2 cerebrovascular/stroke events, 1 seizure, and 3 psychiatric cases. About half of the sentinel events occurred in individuals 30 years of age or younger. An additional 43 cases were identified as possible sentinel events with prior ephedra consumption and an additional 7 cases were identified as possible sentinel events with prior ephedrine consumption."

As you can see, even the NIH concludes there's not much evidence for the causation of adverse events with ephedrine use....

Amen to that!

I bought some Hydroxycut yesterday. I will keep you guys posted on the results.
