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", 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.

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

I tried Hydroxycut for a week. I can see my skin tightening but, all at the cost of one disaster. When I go in the morning I see lumnps of dead cells coming ot. And the site is horrifying.My menstruation cycle is disturbed too and I found dizzyness sometimes. I stopped taking this pill and found relief. My health is still the same, and I am going to the doctor soon. Am a student and am afraid what will happen to my bank account if I ever found it serious. I will never take this pill ever again. I have trashed it yesterday, am telling you all the beautiful women out there, "NEVER TAKE ANY DIET PILL". Do YOGA and Run in the morning. Fall in love with yourself.

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 have been taking hydroxycut-drink packets(lemon) for a week now and i have not experienced any side effects. Non whatsoever.I do drink about a gallon of water a day so I can't tell how much weight I've lost. I work out daily and maintain a healthy diet. 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,

Started Hydroxycut in 2000 and take it intermittently as the directions say. Switch to the caffine free because of the bad headaches. Nine years later Hydroxycut just does not seem to be working the same and I have lost no weight at all.

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.

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 took this for awhile. it worked very well. i shed almost 30lbs in 3 months while working out regularly. my workout is an hour run at 9mph. the only thing i didnt like about this product is i took it a few times on an empty stomach and almost puked every time i did so. i fixed this by eating an egg or sandwich a few hours before.

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.

This product helped me shed 20lbs in 2 weeks. I know it sounds ridiculous to lose that much in two weeks. But I didnt care. I looked gooooood. Here was what I did. I did 20-30 minutes of cardio in the morning 4 times a week. Weights 4-5 times a week at night. Rest one day in between. Eat well. (seriously just do it for 2 weeks)... Plan Physical activities with friends such as playing tennis, basketball, hiking, rollerblading. WHATEVER you like. Add Hydroxycut to all this (30 minutes before meals) and you WILL see amazing results FAST! Please keep in mind that you should not drop weight too fast or you could get stretch marks so after 2 weeks, take a break and take it easy. You have to let your skins elasticity take effect so you dont have all this LOOSENESS. Ok thats my suggestion. Hope you can lose 20 lbs in 2 weeks too. =)
