Hydroxycut

I took it after having my son,it works I lost like 30 pounds with it I was also eating better and working out. I quit taking it because it was expensive. I think that as long as you're eating right and working out that it doesn't hurt to have a little help.

I took it for a while also. It helps a lot as an aid. For example, it helps you workout longer and more often, and it curves your appetiate. I stopped taking it after a couple of months. I lost weight on it but at the end of the second month, wasn't seeing any result so I quit because it was expensive. I didn't gain any of my weight back, but I also stuck to my lifestyle change of eating better and working out more. I started loosing weight again after I stopped, with that said I think my body got used to it. Hope that helps.

Watch out for side effects. I was extremely queezy and jittery!

Here is the whole post
If you don't believe me just read below to know about the bad effect of diet pills on your health and why you should stay away from them. And do you know that diet pills might not work after a while in helping you lose weight. Most of these diet pills work by curbing your appetite so that you can lower you calorie intake. But if you lower your calorie intake, your metabolism rate might drop down too.

Slower metabolism will then result in slowing down your weight loss. So after a while people taking diet pills might notice that they are not losing much weight as they did earlier. So its really a very short term solution to weight loss.

The bad effect of diet pills range from heart problems, seizures, irregular heartbeat, heart attack, hair loss, nervousness, high blood pressure and many more. These are reported by people consuming such pills.

The ingredients contained in most diet pills, namely ephedrine and phentermine can also cause harmful side effects. Prolonged use of Phentermine is known to cause blurred vision, dry mouth, nausea, vomiting etc.

Ephedrine can cause heart attacks and seizures. It has been linked to many deaths by heart attacks. It can also cause sleeplessness and nervousness.

Even though many people are buying and using diet pills, they do not realize the severe damage they can be doing to their health. Most diet pills are not controlled by government or approved by FDA. The companies are just out there to make some quick bucks and you might be putting your health at risk if you are not aware of the bad effects of diet pills.

So what do you do?

Even though it is important to lose weight, keep in mind that you should look for healthy ways to lose weight.

Eat healthy, maintain an active lifestyle, eat more of fruits and vegetables, drink sufficient quantity of water every day, do moderate exercise regularly and avoid junk food if you want to stay healthy and fit and lose excess weight.



Here are the responses
Quick fixes are just that, quick fixes. You may have some success with diet pills, but then the instant you stop taking them you balloon right back up. Why? Because you never really learned to alter your patterns of behavior, and to live/eat healthy.

If you want a lifelong change, you have to work for it. PLUS a lot of those chemicals later turn out to be dangerous. Just look at ephedra



I know all to well what diet pills can do, I was on Hidrocxycut (sorry for spelling) and I had used them for a month I got all these tinny red dots on my body, I lost 20 lbs that month but I stoped tacking them right after I saw the red dots. I will not use them ever agian. I plan to lose the weight the healthy way.

I need to add one more thing......If diet pills worked, we would all be thin and the price of the pills would be a whole lot more.

I keep thinking about Oprah, one of the richest women in the world...
If she couldn't find a magic pill to lose weight, what makes you think we can? She had to workout and eat right, just like the rest of us...

So i have heard that diet pills aren't good for you but what do you think about Hydroxycut?
I am thinking about starting to take it!

Is there any particular reason you are doing this? I mean, it's a shortcut, and diet pills can be very dangerous. Eating right and exercise works for 90 some odd % of people, the ONLY reason most people have for using some kind of pill is because they want it faster. Seriously, I'm all for modern medicine, but this isn't medicine, I put this up there in the same class as unnecessary and dangerous surgeries like stomach stapling or liposuction, maybe not quite to that level but still.

i understand what you are saying about oprah having to work out just like we do, but i can't afford a personal trainer or someone to cook the right food for me. heck i can barely afford food! plus she doesn't have a job and house and family to keep up with. so i don't think a little aid in losing weight is a bad thing as long as you use it along with proper diet and excercise! i personally am thinking of trying it just to help me jump start my loss along with following this site. summer is just around the corner!:noway:

Have you read the small print on the commercials?? Results not typical. You can do the exact same thing eating right and exercise. Some they show are 20 in 18 weeks. That can be done with aid of exercise and proper eating. Why spend that money on a bottle of pills, when you can take that $20 and buy healthy food that will last you a few days.
Summer is right around the corner and you can do this without a pill.
I am going to try to get my best friends mom to get on here and do a post. She was a try all the fad diets. She is now in poor healthy. She almost died due to diet pills. She simply followed directions. She will never work a job again, or do the physical activities she used to do. She is lucky to be here today. She did Phen Phen and all those commericals that guarenteed weight loss.
Think long and hard before purchasing the bottle. Think about how important your health it. If you feel that the quick fix is the way, you are a grown woman, it is your choice. Take the time and really think about it first. Research it. Don't research their site, it will prase it up and down, research it from webmd or other sites.
Life it too short as it is.

I had a whole big diatribe that I wrote, I deleted it though, because it sounded way to preachy. I'll just say this, most of us are in the same situation (or similar) financially with food and the gym. I know our budget is tight. It's an excuse to take pills, not a reason. The proof is in the pudding, eating right and exercising works, maybe not as fast, but it works! why turn to dangerous chemicals when you can do it all on your own? That's just crazy IMHO.

Watch out for side effects. I was extremely queezy and jittery!

two words : pooing blood.

That was my experience. Not good.

Yep, I'd say TMI but I think we passed that 2 exits ago.

Just my opinion. I have never had any lasting results from any "quick fix" for weight loss. Not even dieting will give long lasting results if "we" do not make a change in what got "us" here in the first place. Which for me was bad eating habit.....and over eating ect...ect... ! I agree with Banks " the proof is in the pudding."

Here is a little something

Hydroxycut Side Effects to Report
There are a number of side effects with Hydroxycut that you should report to your healthcare provider (and which may indicate that you should probably stop taking Hydroxycut). These potential side effects (due to the stimulants in Hydroxycut) include, but are not limited to:

High blood pressure (hypertension)
Seizures
A rapid heart rate (tachycardia)
Rapid breathing or difficulty breathing
Anxiety or agitation
An irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia)

One Hydroxycut product ("Hydroxycut Ephedra Free") has been reported to cause liver damage. However, it is not known which ingredients of this product were likely to cause liver problems. This particular product is no longer available and has been replaced by other Hydroxycut formulations that are also ephedra-free.

Final Thoughts on Hydroxycut Side Effects
If you think you are experiencing a Hydroxycut side effect, please let your healthcare provider know. Also, let your healthcare provider know if you develop something that "just does not seem right." While it may not be a side effect of Hydroxycut, your healthcare provider will be able to diagnose and treat the problem.



An Overview of Hydroxycut Safety
Hydroxycut® is a group of popular weight-loss supplements. You should talk with your healthcare provider prior to taking Hydroxycut if you have:

Glaucoma
Any heart problems
Anxiety
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Any other health problems or concerns
Any allergies, including allergies to foods, dyes, or preservatives.

Also, let your healthcare provider know if you are:

Specific Hydroxycut Warnings and Precautions
Some warnings and precautions to be aware of concerning the safety of Hydroxycut include the following:

Most Hydroxycut products contain caffeine, which is a stimulant. Stimulants can make anxiety disorders worse. If you notice increased anxiety while taking Hydroxycut, it is probably a good idea to avoid Hydroxycut products.

If you have glaucoma, do not take Hydroxycut without first talking to your healthcare provider. The caffeine in Hydroxycut can make glaucoma worse.

The caffeine in Hydroxycut can worsen some heart conditions. If you have any heart problems, do not take Hydroxycut without first talking to your healthcare provider.

If you have high blood pressure, Hydroxycut may increase your blood pressure even more (due to its caffeine content).

If you have any other health problems or concerns, please check with your healthcare provider before taking Hydroxycut.

Hydroxycut can interact with a number of medications (see Hydroxycut Drug Interactions for more information).

It is not known if Hydroxycut is safe for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding (see Hydroxycut and Pregnancy and Hydroxycut and Breastfeeding).

If you decide to use supplements, what you see on the label may not reflect what is in the bottle. For example, some herbal supplements have been found to be contaminated with heavy metals or prescription drugs, and some have been found to have much more or much less of the featured ingredient than their label states.
Therefore, make sure the manufacturer of your Hydroxycut is a trusted and reputable manufacturer. It is a good sign if a manufacturer abides by the rules of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). It is also a good sign if a product has the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) seal, which means that the product has been independently tested and shown to contain the correct ingredients in the amounts listed on the label. Your pharmacist is a good resource for information about which manufacturers are the most reputable.

ok, ok, i get it! i'm too cheap to spend the money anyway! i guess i'm just frustrated right now and i feel lke i'm getting nowwhere! like i FEEL good then i look at myself and it's like uhg:frown:

It is better to be safe and healthy. A bottle is not the answer. You can get better results the natural way. It isn't easy. I would love to look hot in a swimsuit this summer, but if I don't next summer I will. Day by day step by step. You will do it. Each day you eat right and you exercise, you are getting healthier....you are getting somewhere. You are.:flowerforyou:

You know what the hardest pill to swallow is... Eat less, Move more.

And remember... even drops of water can eat through stone.

Hey,

I don't want to add to those nagging you but I just wanted to give you my experience with losing weight.

I have lost a ton of weight in the past. Sometimes I starved myself (Eating a carrot a day!!), and sometimes I took Xenadrine (before it had the bad stuff removed). The results?? As of last September, I was 270 lbs! Why? Because they were quick fixes. I lost weight yes...I think part of the reason I lost with Xenadrine is because it made me feel sick to my stomach! But, I was jittery and my heart was racing! It scared the crap out of me.

Also, with both of those unhealthy methods, I wasn't learning anything. I wasn't teaching myself how to eat right to KEEP it off. Finally, I made up my mind that I needed to do this the slow and healthy way. I need to eat less (and eat healthier) and exercise. It is pretty simple. Now, I am down to 193 as of yesterday. So, it may seem like it will take forever doing it the healthy way, but as you know, time flies. I have lowered my calories too much at times recently (just due to working out more and not eating a bit more and not even thinking about it), but it wasn't intentional and I didn't start the super hard workouts until recently.

Basically, I am saying that I just did this the right way. I didn't lower to 1200 calories either. I slowly lowered my calories to gradually change and get used to it all. And the result is, I understand how the body works and when I do get to my goal weight, I will have the knowledge to hopefully *fingers crossed* keep it off this time.

Well, there you have it!! Good luck!! You can do this!
