Hydroxycut Pro Series, Jan 03, 2012
|
reviewer: Marc from PH
|
| This is my 2nd day of taking it.
On day 1, I started with 1 cap in the morning and 1 cap in the afternoon.
Didn\'t feel any side effects, but on my 1st pill i felt a burst of energy, it was quite impressed. Did well in the gym in the afternoon after the 2nd pill. Increased stamina in my cardio and strength in lifting weights, pretty much good in the 1st day.
2nd day, took 2 pills in the morning as suggested in the dosage in the label. Didn\'t felt any effects but a little bit sleepy, went to the gym. And the increase in stamina and strength showed up. I felt good with it. Then ate heavy brunch. After 4 hours of taking the 2 pills in the morning I took the 2nd dosage at the 4th hour, 1 hour after I ate.
I don\'t know if there will be any effects after taking the 2nd dosage 1 hour after eating.
About 1hr, I felt that my heart rate increased, a felt a little bit restless because I was just sitting in class. My stomach feels a little bit bad, thought I was going to take a load off, but not. I felt a bit of pinch in my upper part of the stomach, the pain in my upper stomach subside sometime after. But after that I felt a little light headed, felt kinda sick. Then 5hrs after I took the 2nd dosage I went to the bathroom and dropped some load off. There was some green colored in my waste. Don\'t know if it was from the food I ate(Rice, Beef steak, bean sprout, Pork Sausage"Longganisa").
** I drink 1 serving of Scivation Xtend before and after workout. With lots of water through out the day, about 10-12 glasses of water. **
At this time, I still feel a bit sick. |

Works with proper Diet/Exercise, Feb 15, 2011
|
reviewer: Bbrittain from Ontario, Canada
|
| I have been taking this product for about 40 days now while following a strict Diet Plan (1500-2000 calories/day) while exercising regularily (30min Cardio and Major Muscle Groups Workout) 3 times/week. I felt Hydroxycut Advanced gave me more energy throughout the day and during my workouts without any side effects. I have lost a total of 15lbs since I\'ve started taking this product bringing me from 190lbs to 175lbs. Whether or not this pill actually works it definately acted as a placebo that I required to shed the unwanted pounds. You will not shed pounds by taking this product and sitting on a couch all day eating unhealthy foods, however I would recommend Hydroxycut Advanced to anyone willing to diet and exercise and I guarentee you will achieve results! |

waste of money, Jan 25, 2011
|
reviewer: Jake from whitehall, PA USA
|
| These pills aren\'t worth it at all... I took hydroxycut before they banned the ephedra in them and now its just a waste of money... there are no side affects but there are no benefits from it. This is just filled with caffine and not the same at all... if you are looking for a powerful weight supplement the best one is lipo 6! I have been on it about 2 months and have lost 40 pounds with very little excersize... trust me you will be please!!! |

So far so good!, Oct 19, 2010
|
reviewer: L. Hamilton from Riverside, CA, USA
|
| I have been taking hydroxycut now for two weeks and along with every other day at the gym and really watching what I eat I have lost 5 pounds. (NO JOKE) I have however felt some of the side effects such as the headeches every day. It\'s silly but I deal with the headaches and I hope that slowly my body will get used the pills and adapt. I think the pills work great,but everybody has a different opinion! |

Hydroxycut Hardcore X, Sep 09, 2010
|
reviewer: Vicky from Malaysia
|
| Hi....i have being using this pills for almost 2 months and this is a great work.Some people thinking that taking this pill without exercising can give effect.Yes it will but not good instead a lot of side effects.As for me the side effects that i get is headache and constipation because lots of water needed but i don\'t drink a lot.The main reason.To be safe from this constipation is take the pill for morning exercise and drink a lot of water more than recommended.I did get a very good result. I lost 10kg of fat without losing muscle. Of course with training.So guys its a safe product but don\'t go overdose. For me i take 3 pills before exercise and i take only during my exercise days. |

Hydroxycut not for Seniors, Jul 13, 2010
|
reviewer: C. Thompson from Ester, AK
|
| I am an over 60 Senior. I had heard a lot about Hydroxycut over the years and decided to give it a try. I needed to drive and stay alert for 6 hours, and rather than drinking a lot of cola and coffee and having to take a number of "rest stops" along the way, I thought I\'d try this product and get the added benefit of an appetite suppressant without the water content.
A week before the trip I took one pill with my meds in the morning. Half the recommended dose. The following week which included my trip, I took two with my morning meds, also half the recommended dose, as I didn\'t take any later in the day.
Once I arrived at my destination, I resumed drinking the large amounts of water/liquids I normally do.
To make a long story short,I thought I had caught the flu! I suffered nausea, stomach cramps, dizziness, high heart palpitations, extreme irritability, and marked sleepiness (taking a nap every 2 hours). It was only today (2 weeks into the regiment) that I decided to look up the side effects.
Thanks to this site, I see that a number of people have suffered the same side effects. Mine are so severe even on half-dose, that I will have to discontinue its use.
It DOES do a marvelous job suppressing the appetite, though. And one can feel the thermogenic properties of the product.
But the side effects and due to my age and other meds I take, I think it unhealthy for me to continue. My quality of life is more important to me than a quick-fix to the weight problem. Next time I travel, I\'m taking the plane. :-)

Question, Aug 03, 2009
|
reviewer: Cynthia from Mobile, AL
|
| This is not a review but a question. One of my good friends took Hydroxycut in the past & said she saw results within 4 weeks of taking it. My question is can taking Hydroxycut make someone test positive for drugs? I really want to take Hydroxycut to help me lose weight but I also have to take drug tests & need to know if this is ok to take. I dont do/use any kind of drug & cant have a false positive. Please help! |

This product is awesome, if you take it right!, Jul 04, 2009
|
reviewer: Piker26 from Campbell River, BC
|
| Ok, for all the people who say they get sick, headaches, pains, whatnot, then they are obviously taking it wrong. This is probably one of the best products out there. Some of the world\'s biggest bodybuilders, like Jay Cutler and Jackson are taking these pills to get cut up. They are really great pills, if you follow the instructions that is.
You cannot take these pills, and expect to sit on the couch and shed the weight! You actually have to be working out on a consistent basis.
I have been taking these for awhile, along with lots of water(2.5 L +), and the results are great. I actually kept track of all my eating habits this week and limited myself to under 1500 calories and then I weighed in after 7 days. I lost 10 lbs in 7 days. These pills gave me energy like the incredible hulk!
If you start out slowly and take probably one pill in the morning, and another one before your afternoon workout, you will be fine. If you feel good after a couple of days, then up the doses to 2 pills twice daily. Please watch the time before you sleep though. Even take them 6 hours before sleep just to make sure.
Any questions, please reply to me. |

Greatness, Jun 21, 2009
|
reviewer: Samantha from Australia
|
| I started taking hyroxycuts (the one with Caffine) 2 weeks ago and on the first day I scared myslef.I felt like a monkey working out on the bike and treadmill and felt like I wanted to climb trees.I followed instructions and took 3 in the morning and 3 avro.definetely 5 hours before sleeping because they really do keep you up. It did make me sick to the stomach the next 2 days but now I feel fine and am completely immune to it.I have noticed the energy boost,weight loss and loss of appetite.I advice NOT to take if you don\'t work out. It works for me and i\'m loving the results. I sleep and feel fine thank god. The only reason I\'m taking it is because I was taking medication that made me gain weight very fast and I never had Love handles before and now they are going going GONE!! I do recommend it but u have to follow instructions. |

it works.......but if its not for you don't take it, Apr 25, 2009
|
reviewer: Devin martin from Brooklyn,NY
|
| I just started taking hardcore and I can honestly say it works. I've read the reviews and the ppl takin the pill are doing it wrong. If you can't sleep and you find yourself up all night on the computer then you've takin it too late. I get plenty of rest after a great workout. Don't take the pill if you don't work out cuz then you'll only be waisting money and time. Drink plenty of water so that you don't get dehydrated. You will burn plenty of calories and have energy but you have to release that energy or you will be up all day. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS PEOPLE! do not take within 5 hours of bedtime. its simple....you don't wanna be up all night then following the directions. You wanna see results? then work out. Everyone is complaining but if you read what you posted then you would know your not doing something right. I've been using muscletech products for some years now and I've seen results with each so I have no complaints except for the fact that you pay more then what you get and I'm talking about quantity. |

just starting, Apr 20, 2009
|
reviewer: Hopingforthebest from USA
|
| I just started HC a couple days ago. I tend to have an excessive heart rate on a regular basis so I'm always nervous to try a different weight loss pill that just makes it worse. Obviously there hasn't been weight loss yet but theres been an ovbious decrease in appetite and major difference in the amount of energy I have. I'm very alert all day, but it does make me a little shaky. I try not to consume any other caffiene to prevent it from being worse. I have had less side effects with this pill then others I've tried. |

works well if you work with it!, Apr 08, 2009
|
reviewer: James from Long Island, New York
|
| like all other supplements out there, you have to know how to use it. taking the recommended dose without changing your diet or doing any exercise at all will do nothing but make you sick. these kinds of supplements give you massive amounts of energy so that you can burn it by working out! simply taking the pills and not releasing the energy it gives you will obviously make you nervous, jittery, and sleepless. i've taken HH several times throughout the past 5 years (due to my own inability to stick with a plan and yo-yoing my weight). i take one pill before lunch, and two pills before my evening meal and 2-hour workout. this dosage works just fine for me (i'm 26 years old and weigh 185). since every body is different, experiment with exactly what dosage works for you. taking this product in conjunction with a multi-vitamin and omega-3 is a great way to help its absorption so that it lessens the side-effects. of course, it's not for everyone, but like everything else out there, it takes hard work and dedication to achieve the maximum benefits of the product. expect slow results at first because any effective weight loss plan will be slow moving, so don't get discouraged when you don't lose 10 pounds a week. just keep at it and stay healthy! |

Got sick thanks to it., Apr 02, 2009
|
reviewer: Aaron from Dublin, Ireland
|
I have been taking it for the last month.
Started with 1 pill in the morning and another one before lunch around 2 pm. Also drinking more than usual, around 2.5L a day.
Then taking 2 pills in the morning 1/2 hour before breakfast and another one before lunch.
The symptoms are the following.
Weakness
Bad sleep
Headache
Tiredness
I even had a pressure fall today because I stopped taking the pills 2 days ago and my body feels its need for caffeine.
As a result of it I will stop taking the pills for good.
In this month of "Gym and pills" (nothing exaggerated as I never surpassed 150 beats per minute) I only lost 3 kilos and I'm not sure the pills helped, but I also changed percentages of fat/muscle so it isn't only the weight loss.
It did not work for me, bust as said, no body works the same way.

Hydroxycut hardcore, Mar 27, 2009
|
reviewer: Raaaaaalph from Stockton, CA USA
|
| I have used this product for about a month now. I started out weighing 205 lbs. Now I am at about 185 lbs. The first days I did make the mistake of taking the capsules at night and it took away from my sleep. As long as you take them before threethey don't seem to take away from my sleep. They work really good I still haven't completely changed my diet but regardless it works really good. |

Excellent, Feb 27, 2009
|
reviewer: Joshua from Nebraska
|
| I have been taking HC Hardcore for two weeks now and I love it. I have lost 6 lbs in two weeks but this is also do to me cutting out all unhealthy foods and drinks. I have more energy than ever and feel invincible in the gym. I will say though I have lost my sleep pattern due to how late in the day I take the pills. For me this has worked wonders and I hope if you choose it will work well for you |

Optimistic, Feb 23, 2009
|
reviewer: Anonymous from Anytown, AT 55555
|
| I just started taking HC yesterday and like most people have said I can already feel the difference in energy and focus at least. I am drinking tons of water a day and am more motivated to eat less. I've only eaten about 410 calories today with dinner coming up and I'm going to work out later. Yesterday, I did notice after taking the pill that I was more flushed than usual when working out and I sweated noticeably more. I also had more energy. Working out on an elliptical cross trainer, I can usually only average about 180 strides per minute, 30 minutes, and 310 calories before I'm spent. Yesterday, I was still feeling it after 40 minutes, going 200 strides per minute, and burning about 430 calories. So whether it's a mental thing, or the pills really are doing something for me is still a question, but either way I'm definitely seeing results already. |

good for suppressing appetite, Feb 05, 2009
|
reviewer: Scott from Fort Drum, NY
|
| After taking this product for approximately 2 weeks now, I have found that it certainly has helped as far as keeping me motivated, focused, and up and moving all day. More importantly for me it has suppressed my appetite significantly which was my main problem, eating too much. I run between 2-4 miles a day, and hit the gym every other day. I take the maximum recommended dose, first thing in the morning (3 capsules) and again in mid afternoon. By the time I get off work, I have plenty of energy to run, and work out, and eat a much smaller dinner. Also as long as I don't take any later than mid afternoon, it doesnt seem to affect my ability to go to bed either. All in all its working well for me, and increasing my weight loss |

|
| I started taking hydroxy after about a month of working out, only wanting to tone and lose those though baby weight areas (3 kids). My problem was always getting the extra energy and always feeling hungry. THIS PRODUCT has DEFINATELY helped in both, take it slow though. I only take 1 pill in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. RESULTS! |

curious, Jan 20, 2009
|
reviewer: Roni from oregon
|
| I recently started taking this supplement..i have tried others before..as far as this particular pill I do agree with most that it would make me slightly jittery..well lemme see that might be because I don't normally have caffeine in my diet..so my brother (a fitness fanatic) suggested that I don't take more than noted in instruction but actually take less then suggested instead of two twice a day I take one in the morning before breakfast another a few hours later before lunch and another before the gym..so usually three in the day. I don't use the pills after 7p.m..usually the last one is around 5..it is in the instruction to NOT take hours before bed..so those of you complaining you are up at 2am must not of followed or read the booklet that comes with this supplement. during the hours I'm active most it gives me that energy...and when working out its a nice extra boost. sometimes I even double up come work out time...so I guess in the all and all what I'm trying to say maybe try in smaller doses... |

Scary, Jan 12, 2009
|
reviewer: Missa Steele from US
|
| Let's just say I've been on HC for over a week now. I started on the caffeine free ones. I couldn't tell any difference at all with them. I bought the ones with caffiene yesterday. I'm now sitting up at the computer at 2 in the morning because my eyes hurt, my heart is racing, and I can't sleep. This is too scary. Listen- I honestly believe there is no miracle cure pill for weight loss, and as cliche as it is, EXERCISE people. I already do and just wanted to see if these pills would make any difference. I've never taken drugs, and I have a feeling it's a lot like this. |
