Hydroxycut Max Reviews

Since the popularity of the original Hydroxycut, the same company has released a number of other supplements. The latest is a specific formula of Hydroxycut designed for women called Hydroxycut Max. We’ve received a number of questions about it since it was released and we wanted to find out if this was something great.

Basically Hydroxycut Max is a supplement with a lot of green tea and some other ingredients added for show. There aren’t even ingredients included in it that make it stand out as a supplement that would benefit women specifically.  Even with the website claiming it is scientifically developed and doctor formulated, you don’t get a formula you should expect if you are looking for something specific for women. And the only clinically proven ingredient is the green tea, not the product as a whole.

The other key ingredients besides green tea are caffeine and yohimbe. There are several other ingredients included but not in sufficient enough amounts to be truly effective. The green tea and caffeine are great for helping people increase their metabolism and energy, but they also increase the heart rate, increase anxiety and cause headaches, jitters and stomach aches. As far as yohimbe goes it has never been proven to help with weight loss in any way.

At the end of the day what you get with Hydroxycut Max is a high amount of caffeine and green tea and some side effects. If the side effects don’t bother you, it may be something you could try, but if you’re sensitive to stimulants, it is probably best to avoid taking Hydroxycut Max.

I started taking this product about 8 weeks after having my second son (February 2009). I absolutely loved the results!! So I was really upset when I heard that they had recalled the product about 2 months after I started taking it. I have tried other products and did not see the same great results from any of them that I got from HCM. So now you can imagine how happy I am that they have reformulated it and put it back the market!! I went into GNC on Sunday and decided to try the AcaiSlim and a colon cleansing pill as a cleanse before I start back on the HCM pills. Hopefully I see some great results over the next few months. My brother is getting married May 22 and I am a bridesmaid. I hope to lose 20 lbs by then. I am at 160 now. Wish me luck!!!

I have been taking HCM for two days now and I feel so wired but tired at the say time, I go to sleep at night just fine I started to get numb fingers and really bad jittery I only take one pill a day I eat before I take the pill. I drink lots of water and still feel the same. I feel hungry all the time. I have been working out now for four days and have lost two pounds. I’m 22 5′4 125 I don’t want to loose a lot of weight I just want to be in shape and look great for summer time. I am not sure about this product yet. Maybe my body is just trying to adjust to it. I have drank caffeine in a week. Does anyone feel the same?

I did a total body cleanse before starting Hydroxycut Max, and I started my diet plan about a week before starting hydroxycut. I bought a 120 pill bottle and I finished it off this morning. I have lost 15 lbs in a month! I feel great! I did feel a little like I had just taken speed with the first dose but I think that it’s because I had not had caffine in about two weeks when I started taking these pills (they have a lot of caffine) but by the second dose later that day I was fine. I have not had ANY side effects. I consider myself lucky to have lost so much weight and had so few side effects. I do want to say that every body is different, and this might not be the product for you. Do not expect to get the same results as someone else, like I said I feel lucky but some people have had no results with this product.

Hi guys. I just started taking the Hydroxycut max! advanced for women capsules. I am following the instructions and started with 1pill 2x a day. I took the first pill 30min before meal and after that I went to the gym. After the gym, I took the second pill, and wait for another 30min to eat. Please tell me if I am taking the pills in correctly.

I am planning to take the first serving after I wake up, have a breakfast after 30min, and go to the gym after 1 to 2 hours (depending on what I eat for breakfast). And I am planning to take the second serving after my workout and have a lunch after 30min.

So far, I’ve not experienced any side effects (even though it’s my first day). My appetite is at the lowest level, and I am so happy :D

Keep you posting for any results noticed. BTW my goal is to get 6pack abs for the summer. I am 22years old, 153cm height and 46.5kg weight. I just have to lose some stomach fat. I am visiting the gym 5 to 6 times a week, doing a 20-30min cardio and 1hour of weight lifting.

I love this product. This is my second bottle. When I first used it I started out at 150 just a month later I dropped to 135 ( with a 5-7 day a week cardio and weights work out), in december I went out of town to see my family for a few weeks and stopped working out and stopped taking it and now im 145. I just started back up yesterday again. I’m hoping to see amazing results again like last time :) I know it works because of my results last time. It gives me so much energy!

Today is my first day of trying HCM. I’ve used all kinds of products before and non of them worked. Being 31 I must say that it’s very hard to loose the weight that’s why I’m giving last try on HCM. I started with one pill twice a day, I want to make sure that my body gets use to it and then after 3 days I will increase my intake. So far the only thing I can say is that I’m not too hungry so we’ll see what happens. I only have 20 pounds to loose so I hope that with excersising 5-6 times a week it will work. I will keep you posted.

I read reviews before deciding to purchase this product and even though there were some negative, most were positive, so I decided to give it a shot. This is my 5th day taking it and along with moderate exercise (10 mins every other day on the elliptical) so far i’ve lost 8 lbs. It curbs my appetite significantly and gives me more energy to get things done and work out. I love it!

Hydroxycut for Women

I tried this product after have being completely faithful to Atro-phex. Honestly, I have never felt the nausea with Hydroxycut as I did with Atro-phex. However, I also don’t feel as energetic with Hydroxycut. It does help me with cravings. I don’t feel like I really want to eat unhealthy foods and I have been able to keep up with my regular work-out schedule. Hydroxycut for women is Ok, but I think I will just finish this bottle and go back to Atro-phex. I feel that Atro-phex gives me better ending results.

I really like the product! It is working for me. I have been taking it for the last three weeks and I work out 3 times a week (very intense cardio session of 60 mins. each) It helps to control my hunger and I am already seeing the difference. I HAD to stop drinking coffee and maybe that’s why I haven’t had any sleep problem!

I’m still unsure about this product. I started this yesterday just before lunchtime, took 3 tablets as per instructions and had a really terrible sleep last night. This morning I took 3 more and have a general ‘unwell’ feeling, and a little bit of nausea. I might take the advice of some other reviewers and maybe take less to start with and gradually build up.

18 Sep 2009 - Tonilea of Queensland, Australia

I started taking this about a month ago. I was taking 1 pill twice daily and could feel the energy about an hour after taking my first pill. After 3 days i went to 3 tablets twice daily – this was way way too much for me, i became anxious and jittery so ive dropped back down to 2 pills twice a day. I swear by this pill. I have tonnes of energy, im not as hungry, and I can definately see the results in weightloss. I work out twice a day and I dont think i would have the energy to do so if i wasnt taking the pills. I dont recommend my family members to take it – just because when you do take too much, its quite a terrible worried feeling but if my friends are willing to give it a go – i just tell them to take one pill twice daily..i cant imagine there would be many women that could handle the 3 pills twice daily??

18 Aug 2009 - Edina of Prague, Czech Republic

I was really looking forward to using this product, started 2 days ago. I couldn´t sleep at all, I had a terrible jittery nervous feeling and I only took 2 caps a day. As I am a “caffeinist”, I thought it would not take a toll on me. The opposite is true. I will return to daily exercise and control my craving (trying to exercise my self-discipline), that´s the only thing that works for me. I will throw the pills to the rubbish bin!!!

I started using HCM on the 1st of February and I went from 38% Body fat down to 31%Body Fat. I know my exact BF because I am losing weight and getting fit to go back into the Army. I could not have worked out twice a day for 90min each sessions if it were not for the energy boost I get from HCM. I do agree with drinking tons of water with this product. My normal intake of water is 64fl oz, but with HCM I have to bump that up to about 74-80. I take it for about 30days straight and then I come off it for a few days. Just to give my body some rest. On those days I completely crash, but that is just the sacrifice for my personal goals. This product is not for someone who lives a sedentary lifestyle. I do not encourage any of my friends or family to take this because I know that they are not going to get in the gym and really burn through the energy it gives you. This product is for people who are really working out 5-7 days a week. If you are not going hard on cardio and weights, then go with another product and don’t waste your money. This is for those who are serious. The appetite suppressant is so intense I literally would forget to eat sometimes. Which I come from a family of eaters so that was weird. Also, I had myself on a eat every 2-3hrs schedule and I literally have to watch the clock to remember to eat. This was the best part to me also. I stay hungry and this really curbs my appetite and cravings. Again, if you are working out for less than 45mins 5 days a week this is not for you. That is just my opinion. It is going to make you jittery and nervous because you are not burning it off. You gotta get up and move. Also, after the first month I came down off of the 3 pills 2x’s a day, now I take 2pills 2x’s a day. That just worked better for me. And yes if you do a high intensity cardio workout you will feel the burn from the inside out. I love that part. It makes me feel like I am getting what I paid for. I hope this helps.

24 Apr 2009 - anna of Texas, USA

I must say as a medical professional as well as a user of this product, I am so enthused. Listen I am on a strict work out regimen for my wedding which is in a few months but in the last two weeks I have lost 16 pounds! I did not expect this but I can explain it. The pills suppress my appetite and give me energy, for some reason I also crave high energy yield foods-fruits, veggies- and get really excited about working out, I think the formula supports the feel good endorphin release because the chemical addiction I have to exercise has been abruptly magnified. I do admit the nausea was difficult at first but it is so nice to not over eat or be starving after a work out and to have the discipline to commit to portions. I am not a female that keeps evil secrets to looking good to myself- this is a product any one with a weight loss goal should try.

This is my 3rd day using HM. This is the not the first fat burner I’ve tried, so I am familiar to what kinds of side effects I should feel. I am drinking ALL day, eating every 2-3 hours, NO additional Caffiene, and I feel fine. A little jittery but as soon as I drink some water I feel ok. so keep yourself hydrated, and eat even though you dont feel hungry. I am hoping to lose atleast 17 pounds, so Ill keep you ladies posted, and hope someone can give me some advice as well.. Good luck ladies..

i started hm on 4-5-09, within 5 days i lost 5lbs.i was skeptical at 1st but decided to give it a try and i loved it. ii drink atleast 64 oz of water daily. i try to eat atleast 2-3 fruits daily (apple and banana).if i’m really hungry before a meal i’ll have a boiled egg.my energy is up and i also try to be more active at work.like walking more briskly.also i take the stairs over the elevator or use the bathroom upstairs rather than downstairs at work. i have also decrased eating out. hence by doing this, i’m likely to make better choices. i also take just money for transportation when going out or i vow to myself self that i would only eat out 1-2 times per week.

This is my second time trying this product. I maintain a very healthy diet and exercise 5 days a week. I began taking HM to get into that “competition shape”. The first time I used it I had the headaches, jitters, and naseau that some of the other reviews described, so after about a week I quit. After reading the reviews I decided to try again. To my surprise it worked. Come to find out I was not drinking enough water. After a month I have dropped 8 lbs. of fat and am really seeing that definition I wanted. My advice is to stay hydrated to avoid the side affects. If you notice the reviews people either love it or hate it. So i think as long as you stick with the program correctly you will love it.

I have been using Hydroxycut Max for about a week now and I am not sure if I recommend this product. It is controlling my appetite and I have lost 2lbs, but I am jittery, warm, can’t sleep, and I just have an “unwell” feeling in my stomach. I don’t drink caffeine, so that may be my bodies reaction to such a large amount of caffeine, but I don’t like these side effects. I am doing the 3*3 right now, so maybe I ‘ll cut it down to 1*1 and see if the side effects go away.

I took Hydroxycut Max for about 2 months. I did see results when it came to losing some unwanted weight. I didn’t see any results when it came to energy. It did make me regular when it came to using the restroom. What I noticed is that I broke out extremely bad!! I’m not one to have acne, with this product not only did I break out on my face and neck, but my back was HORRIBLE! I had to discontinue use in order to get my skin back to normal. I will not use the product again.

Maybe it is too soon to make a difference, since I have been only using it for a week. Still, other reviews have claimed weight loss in as little as two weeks. However I am the same weight today as I was one week ago. I haven’t even lost water weight. My hunger pangs still exist during the day. So I really do not think this product has done anything for me, except given me insomnia due to the caffeine. Maybe in 4 weeks I will come back to this site to write an update.

I started using Hydroxycut as an additional supplement to my healthy eating and exercise regimine. I just started 2 weeks ago and I attempting to go from 173 to 145-150. I am 5″8. So far I have lost 7 lbs. (water weight) I will weigh in again on the one month mark but so far appetite is down, energy is up and I feel generally the same, not too amped up and no ugly crash when the pill wears off which is a bonus.

Bought Hydroxycut max , took whole bottle , it didnt make me feel bad , well i had a little bit of nausea, but i didnt lose not even a pound. i actually gain a pound , it made me less hungry but i didnt lose a pound. A waste of $60 bucks for nothing.Will not recommend ,they say that is the most extreme womens fat burner and that you will lose extreme amount of weight . liars not even a pound.

10 Feb 2009 - Erin of Virginia, USA

Height: 5;7″, beginning weight: 165 lbs, current weight: 150. I have used this product for a month and I am very happy with it. I already ate a very strict and healthy diet and exercised regularly (I am a recreational triathlete), but I have always had difficulty losing those last 10-15 lbs. I have already dropped 8 lbs of pure fat (not water weight which is what I lost the first week). Why does it work for me? It curbs my appetite, and I don’t crave the pasta, cheese, and other bad-for-you foods. Now I am able to stick to the Gillian McKeith Diet (You Are What You Eat) with ease so I get a ton more fruits and veggies in. I don’t get the jitters that EVERY other diet supplement gave me, and I sleep fine so long as I follow the directions and not take it after 5 PM (I usually take it when I wake and at lunch). I am able to work out more and longer, but I do notice that my heart rate is higher if I don’t work out before taking the supplement, or late in the evening. Is there a downside? Well, if you don’t follow directions you may experience dehydration, headaches, or upset stomach. Most of this comes from continuing to eat a crappy diet and not drinking enough water. Additional caffeine will make you jittery or make your heart race, so stick to water and juice. Bad diets that are high in sugar/starch and fat will cause diarrhea or heartburn, so stick to fruits, veggies and lean meats. NOT eating will give you headaches, so still eat at least three to four times a day, but stick to healthy foods that have slow release sugars (like whole grain bread, etc. If you can put forth a real effort and use this as it is supposed to be–a helpful supplement, not your only effort to lose weight–you will experience rapid and easy weight loss. If you want to use this, not change a thing in your diet, and sit on your but all day don’t get it. You need more help than a bottle can provide.
