Hydroxycut Reviews

With such an extensive advertising campaign going for it, Hydroxycut is one of the most famous weight loss supplements on the market. An entire line of Hydroxycut weight loss supplements was developed after the initial success of the premier product Hydroxycut, but do any of these weight loss supplements really work to help people shed weight and keep it off?

Millions of dollars were spent on the Hydroxycut advertising campaign to pay for television commercials, internet ads and magazine spread ads as part of the huge marketing campaign. But do all those ads really mean a product is going to work? Hydroxycut creators knew popularity sells. Most people purchase a weight loss supplement based on whether they’ve heard it or not. With the thousands of weight loss pills currently on the market, people tend to trust the ones they’ve heard about. But research is critical to determining which one is more effective than solely hype.

So let’s look deeper into the original Hydroxycut. Hydroxycut contains the mixture of hydroxycitric acid and caffeine called Garcinia cambogia. This ingredient is relatively new and being used to help people lose weight by fighting their appetite. Hydroxycitric acid has not been clinically proven and even if it was, you won’t know how much you are getting. But the main power behind Hydroxycut comes from caffeine. Hydroxycut includes more caffeine than two cups of coffee.

The best thing about Hydroxycut is its availability. You can find Hydroxycut almost anywhere locally without having to pay for shipping and handling. You can also find thousands of customer reviews on Hydroxycut because it is so popular.

On the downside, Hydroxycut is very different than original formula. Hydroxycut initially contained ephedrine before it was banned. But instead of changing one ingredient, Hydroxycut changed its whole formula, and it is much less effective and still cost the same hefty price. With such a high advertising cost, it’s no wonder Hydroxycut is double the price of similar formulas.

If you really want a weight loss supplement that works and is backed by a 100% money back guarantee, try one of our highly rated supplements listed below.

ENERGY!

4.0 of 5.0

10 Mar 2010 - kali

So far so good! I’ve been taking the advanced formula of hydroxycut for one week now & have loved everyday of it. The amount of energy it gives you is amazing! I am working out longer & harder because of it. I had trouble sleeping the first few nights, but now that I am working out so hard everyday I am pretty much falling in to bed at the end of the day. I also make sure not to take it less than 5 hours before bed time & I cut out all other caffiene.
I am following all the directions very closely and drinking a lot of water & have experienced no side effects except for increased energy and motivation. I have yet to weigh myself but this feeling alone is worth it! I have suffered from depression for many years and struggle to motivate myself, but this has really given me that extra boost.

I highly reccomend hydroxycut as long as you are careful & follow the directions :)

I used to be OBESE in the past, Now, being 22 yrs old wouldn’t be funny, I started with Hydroxycut as an experiment back last year around this time, I am 5′10″ and was around 260 lbs, yes 260! I got a personal trainer in Chicago and started exercising and dieting as well, when she weighted me on May, 3rd 2009 I was 258lbs, 3 weeks later on my next session I was 239 lbs and so on until in July 9th I weighted 221lbs, since then I been taking it until reached my goal of 179lbs in January this year for my wedding, Now I am 182lbs and still on Hydroxycut until next month to reach my goal of 160lbs. Even though FDA says it might give you liver damage, I think is only for certain people, no doubt this product changed my life, thanks Hydroxycut!!!!

I’m 2 weeks into hydroxycut hardcore and besides from some blinding headaches – the only difference is that I am PUTTING ON weight!!! I’m drinking the recommended 10 glass of water a day and I have not varied my diet (on which I had lost 8lbs of weight and dropped my body fat percentage to 18%) but now I have gone up in wieght by 4lbs!! and it’s not even muscle – it’s pure fat – my “love handles” are back and bigger than ever before!! I paid a fortune for my supple ments when I wasn’t even in that bad shape and really just wanted the push to burn the last few pounds of fat off and I am SEVERELY upset with the so called “results”. Buyer beware all things from muscle tech!!

Hydroxycut Advanced Review

04 Mar 2010 - Melissa

So far I am on day 4 of using the new hydroxycut advanced. I am taking the crystal packets 2X a day. I have one in the morning and one in the early evening right before i work out and I feel absolutely amazing. I have so much energy. I exercise 1hr 4x week so far it hasnt even been a week and i feel alot better about myself. It is really important to drink lots and lots of water and also to follow the guidelines and not take to much or take at the wrong time. The only affects i have noticed are the jitterness. Which i actually havent minded it just makes me feel like doing more with myself. Along with working out at the gym on cardio for an hour 3x a week i also do an hour of aerobics class. I think exercise is really important too if you want to see results. Before i ever took hydroxycut i would work out and i lost about 25 pounds on my own in about 5 months with the hydroxycut i plan to lose about the same amount in half the time. Hopefully it works. so far the scale says i have lost 3 pounds but everyone has to remember that working out alot means more muscle which means the scale will say you weigh more i would take measurements of you thighs, stomach, and arms and go from there. Am baby steps first to achieve your overall. Best of luck and i will definetly update on how i am doing :)

I just started using hydroxycut 2 days ago and so far it has been good. The noticable side effects are mass amounts of energy, really pushes you to have good workouts. Cut out all other caffeine sources! Also, it says to not take it 5 hours before bed but I would say more like 8hrs. I have yet to weigh in, but my appetite has been surpressed and energy levels way up.

I’m only rating it a 3 because I’ve been on it for 4 days and I’m sure I can’t see major results right now, but so far, I’m okay with the product. All my side effects consist of lots of sweating. I’ll be sitting and just sweat constantly. Other than that, my appetite has gone down a lot. I used to eat ice cream 24.7 and now I don’t want to eat it at all, I feel like hydroxycut caused that. Anywho, I’m hoping to receive results. Hopefully, I won’t regret it in the future. Best to all.

I bought hydroxycut yesterday and today I started. I’m taking 1 pill 2x daily and I took 1 this morning and ate half a sandwich. So far I’ve had tons of energy when I usually don’t. Feels like I’ve been doing drugs to tell you the truth so I hope I don’t have any side effects. I usually eat 3x daily but have only eaten once today a small half sandwich. Kinda amped up at the moment but I guess we will see where this leads. Wish me luck! So far so good

not as effective as the commercial – but definitely does work. i weighed 221, which is actually somewhat healthy for someone of my height (6′8) but i wanted to lose a little bite to get rid of the double chin. i used 1/2 servings of hydroxycut a day for 60 days, did a ton of cardio, watched what i ate, and got down to 205. now i might have lost that much anyway without it, but it did give me the energy i normally didnt have to accomplish an hour a day of cardio and less food – so it may not have affected any target of my body, but it did allow me to push hard enough to lose weight.

I bought hydroxycut advanced wild berry drink packets 2 days ago, yesterday I started, and it felt fine until I started to come down off it, I felt really weird and sick, the 2nd time i drank it yesterday, I experienced very little symptoms but by the end of the night, i felt like i havent slept in weeks, today before work, i drank it again, i was very energetic, but by the end of my shift, i felt very tired again, I just took my 2nd one of the day, and I have a terrible headache and my eyes are pounding in my skull. My body is not used to this much caffeine, and I thought at first my body just had to adjust, but now im thinking its not worth all this pain its causing.

For years i had been trying to lose weight, but only to fail every time. I was 18 years old at 250lbs, yeah wow. And at a 33% body fat. SO i wanted to make a change in my life. I started taking hydroxycut and right away i lost 20lbs, so i was really satisfied with the product. Then i was told about a product that “works faster” but cost about twice as much. At the time i didnt care i just wanted to look good, so i changed to that product. i saw some results, but it was short term. I lost 10lbs but gained them back overtime. About a month ago i was 230lbs with 29% body fat.Then i though i gonna try the new hydroxycut formula, so i did. And a month later i am almost under 200lbs, the lightest ive been in 5 years. SO all im trying to say is the PRODUCT WORKS. Oh and did i mention i have no side affects. SO just give it a chance.

It was a chance I took

24 Aug 2009 - Guy of California, USA

“It was a chance I took”, about 5 years ago, when I for many years had difficulty loosing weight. Even when I ate the right foods, drank alot of H2O, and exercised, my metobolism was not allowing me to see weight shed off. I looked through Men’s Health, Exercise for Men, and other publications, and could not help notice the advertisements for this pill which started to get my attention and couriosity. In my mind I thought that this was just another way for working people as myself to buy a product that promises what it states, and then to see no results, which could be a waist of money. When I was shopping at RightAid, which used to be Thrifty, I tought about the weight loss pill and headed to the health section of the store. I saw Hydrxycut on display and saw that they were anywhere between thirty and fifty dollars. So after choosing the amount of pills that I would take to try out this product, I bought Hydoxtcut. I think it was the thirty of sixty day pill supply. But none the less, I purchased the product. After I read the instructions on how to take this pill, the next day after I began to take it on a regular basis. Week one it was 1 pill 3X’s a day for the first week. The second week it was to increase to 2 pills 3X’s a day for the second week, and then the third week it was again increased to 3 pills 3X’s a day. By the time I was using Hydroxycut every week, I was seeing the results that were promised. I was more energetic, and was noticing that my stomach was getting flatter, and the rest of my body was getting thinner. What even made me more confident with myself were all the compliments I was getting from all that knew me, from my few close friends, and my co-workers. I WAS HAPPY ABOUT MYSELF FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS!!! I couldn’t stop looking at myself in the reflections of car and store windows at the “NEW ME”. I was thin and didn’t have the role just above my waiste line. I was even getting honked at by cars as they would pass me by. After 6 months of taking Hydroxycut, I stated to gain back the weight, because I got out of the habit of taking it on a weekly basis. After I stopped taking the pill, with in about two months, I gained the weight back and haven’t taken it since. Then sometime last year I saw the news that stated Hydroxycut was going to be pulled off store shelves becasue of several deaths and health issues. I was shocked and disappointed by what I had learned, I decided to quit it all together. This past month I was visiting my Father in upstate New York, and saw a television add for Hydroxycut. If it was taken off the shelf, why was it still being promoted but in another state? Today I was watching television and saw a add for Hydroxycut once again, and I’m back home from my trip. So since I have use this product and was VERY HAPPY with the results, I am going to buy Hydroxycut again and get back into the habit so that I can shed the weight off once again. So, if I have to take this pill for the rest of my life just to keep the pounds off, I will. Even though there were warnings in the past about this pill, I haven’t had any harmfull side effects and would say that for me, it was a good product and it worked for me. Looking forward to loosing the pounds once again.

I’ve even been to the hospital and I am being put to sleep for feather testing sept,3rd “i cant blame hydroxy cut ” but i wish i never took it .. maybe it just helped make something worst ..

People, First things first, If you take a sip and feel like you are going to have to call 911… Then take another sip??? What the heck? STOP. Don’t drinking anymore. Ask your doc. Second. This stuff can not make you gain weight (like someone said), but it’s not also magic. You can’t take it and eat like a cow and then complain you aren’t losing weight. I am taking the powder; it seems to be helping in the process. But you must completely change your diet and your fitness. Right now I am at 1600 cals. max and 15grams fat max per day. I don’t watch carbs or anything else (except sugar, try and keep away)( not as hard as it sounds to keep on this diet. I have made my own meal plan and there are a lot of fast food places you can get big meals for 4-5grams fat 250 cals. Well not a lot but some. I will get you my meal plan if anyone is interested) I workout with weights, Mon. Wed. Friday and cardio Tues & Thurs. no more then 50 min to an hour each day. Nothing extreme and I am down about 10pnds in 2 weeks. But you have to be doing something other than taking this and waiting for the weight to go away. If it makes you feel bad don’t take it, very simple, ask your doc what you can take. I like this, my wife takes “Alli” she likes that, no side effects for her. To each his own. Hope it helps, use common sense, =) Bryan

After gaining the infamous “freshman 15″ my first year of college, I became commited of loosing some weight. I have used hydroxycut for two weeks now and I have lost 10 lbs. I have accompanied the three daily dosis with one hour of running (every day) and a low carb, low cal, high protein diet (based on salads, chicken, eggs, fish and seafood, and low fat meat). Yeah, it gives me occasional headaches (or dizziness) plus insomnia, which is not that bad since I am on vacations and I like to go out at night and dance every now and then. Anyways, I could not use this product if I was working or having classes in the morning since I cannot concile sleep until 3 am at minimum. As far as loosing weight goes (not by itself), it works.

I will report back with results. right now im 207 19%body fat. A few years back I took the pill and i went from 200 at 25%body fat to 157 9%. then i cycled off and settled at 180 until i got lazy again and didnt work out. Now im back into it.

I would recommend this product to everyone as long as you don’t mind some moderate side effects. Racing heart, mind, and insomnia are all accurate. Even 8 hours after taking it I still had problems sleeping. It was worth it however, I used to take 2-3 20 mins. prior to workout and wow did it give me energy and put me in a “kick ass” mood. Unfortunately after 6 months of taking it my body has grown accustomed to the product and I am cycling off for a while. A must try for everyone though, trust me,

I have read other reviews about hydroxycut and I do believe that products effect each individual different. I have been on the Hydroxycut Powder Supplement for appoximately 2 weeks now and have not experienced any side effects such as jitter or nervousness. I do believe that using products like this, you also have to have a good diet regime and exercise routine. I have been obtaining positive results by eating healthy drinking supplements 3 times a day as well as extra water in between and going to the gym and walking the dog. Like I said, effects are different with each individual but I do feel it is helping. I hope this helps some people that are in question.

Dizzy, jittery

2.0 of 5.0

28 Apr 2009 - Jeanne of Massachusetts, USA

I bought Hydroxycut powder that you dump in a glass of water and just tried it this morning. I instantly felt very dizzy, jittery, and felt the kind of energy that makes you want to put 911 on instant dial. I decided to read other reviews and found all criticism to be true, though I don’t feel like vomiting. Anyone with low blood sugar needs to really watch out- that’s me. Make sure you have plenty of protein (not sugar as most people think who know nothing about low blood sugar), such as chicken, and even almonds. I have only drank 1/2 a glass so far, then decided to make some scrambled eggs. I decided to try drinking this mixture slow and see what happens. Each sip, and I mean sip, makes me instantly dizzy like I’ve been slipped some sort of illegal drug. I added more water than what it called for. Took a look at coffee I made and decided to dump it for fear of exploding from excess jitters and energy. I am going on camera in a month to do some filming, it adds roughly 15 lbs to you, and I already have 15 lbs to lose. It’s ridiculous what we women do to get thin and what our poor bodies go through. “Eat Right For Your Blood Type” is a great book too. My mother dropped a lot of weight just eating foods her blood type called for. Something to think about.

I just recently bought the Hydroxycut Powder Mix. Today, I decided to give it a try. Within 15-20 minutes I became very lightheaded,almost dizzy, noticed that my heart was racing,and my hands were shaking. Luckily I work at a pharmacy, I took my blood pressure and it went up to 150/91 and my pulse was 112.(And I do not have a blood pressure condition what so ever) I felt HORRIBLE. I was told that it was probably some stimulent that was in the mix that my body reacted the way that it did. All I have to say is that really look into what you’re trying because everyone’s body reacts differently to different things.

One week after taking hydroxycut, my vision was blurred, I developed pounding headaches especially at base of my neck and behind my eyes; also had trouble sleeping, and had excessive sweating and leg cramps. I stopped taking this product 2 days ago and am still unable to feel “normal”. Sure you lose your appetite but that’s only because you’re praying for death. I have let everyone I know NOT to use it. I think it’s a dangerous product.

I’d like to share that I’ve been using this product for 3 weeks now. I have lost 13.5 lbs. total! I haven’t had any side-effects and have been blessed with tons of energy!!! It’s important to drink, drink, drink your water. Nothing I have ever tried in the past has surpressed my appetite like this. I would recommend to anyone looking to loose weight, gain energy (for the dreaded work-outs) and eat less.

I am now 3 to 4 weeks into the Hydroxycut regimen, currently taking 2 pills 3x daily (either with or just before meals). I have tried to couple it with at least a daily walk of 30-60 minutes (if not more), plenty of water, and reducing my calorie intake. So far, I have all the typical side effects: dizziness, headaches, lost focus, heart racing. Also, for the first time in my life, I now have PAIN when I go for walks. I used to get normal soreness if I overdid it, but now I get SEVERE calf muscle pain and tightness, almost immediately. I need to stretch for well over 1/2 an hour to even walk normally again. And, to add insult to injury, I have also GAINED 5 lbs while on it. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but it seems to actually make things worse.

I used half a bottle about half a year ago because I couldn’t lose weight no matter what, it didn’t help. Finally I found a diet and exercise plan that got me results yet recently all results have stopped because of overeating. I decided to try the last half of a bottle sitting in my medicine cabinet and wow, the appetite suppression works almost too well. I have only been back on it for about 6 days and have lost 5 pounds without changing my exercise routine from what it was and like others have said… if you get busy and don’t sit around all day you will actually have to force yourself to stop and eat something. My only real complaint is that I am not really enjoying food, for the most part, while on the pills. I just don’t have the desire to eat. Also the first 3 days or so at 2 pills 3x a day did make me jittery, despite cutting out all other sources of caffeine, but that has gone away completely, I wouldn’t even know I was on them now.

I am on day three of using Hydroxycut, and so far I must say, it is impressive. I have lost 2 pounds already. It gave me so much energy the first day, I ended up play 3 hour of Dance Dance Revolution and then taking an hour walk! And I STILL wasn’t tired! The only side effects Ive experienced is the jitteriness and shivering. This can actually be a good thing though, because it makes you want to exercise. You’re basically itching to move! And once you start moving, the jitteriness goes away completely. It also has suppressed my appetite a little TOO well. I have to remind myself to eat more often and to eat enough! I haven’t had any trouble sleeping, but I make sure to take my last pill 5-7 hours before bed. And I also plan to only take one pill, three times daily. I think that is plenty to give you the energy boost you need. I do have some advice for those thinking about taking it. First of all, don’t forget to eat. You can easily go all day (especially if you are busy) and forget to eat because you dont feel nearly as hungry. Also, I would be a little more hesitant to start taking Hydroxycut if you have a job that requires sitting for long periods of time without being able to move. If you can’t move to work off all the energy, then it’ll just drive you crazy and you cant concentrate. So far I am very pleased with this product. Just remember that it is an AID to your fitness and weight loss program, not the center of it. It gives you the energy you need to do what you have to do and it helps take your concentration from food. It will not make you lose the weight by itself. If you can handle the fact that it makes you feel a little “funny” then I would recommend this product. So far Ive been lucky enough not to experience any really concerning side effects. If I did, however, I might consider not taking it. It really is different for every person. You have to weigh the risks and benefits.
