Hydroxycut

I don't know if this really help you..

Please tell me you opinion if you're taking it or if you read something about it please !!

Doesn't really work.  Best one on the market is SAN Tight also take CLA along with it, but you have to exercise 5-6 times a week.

I wouldn't say it doesn't really work.  There are a group of guys where my husband works that swear by the stuff.  He bought a bottle and never took it.   I have been but Ive  never been really good at remembering to take stuff like that.  When I do remember, I lose a pound or two if I don't remember then I will either gain back what I lost on the day I remembered or just not lose anything.

Its main active ingredients are Green, black and white teas.   Ive found if I just drink white tea and a lot of it, that it has pretty much the same effect as Hydroxycut.  Note: Don't take Hydroxycut with any kind of tea.  Wait at least an hour to drink tea once you have taken it or you will get one heck of a headache.

I have personally used the stuff and found it to be a good product. But, you have to combine that with excersice and healthy diet + counting calories. Not going to do alot if you just take it without the other 2.

It made me jittery.  I didn't find that it really helped me with weight loss, either.  Better to go at it on my own!

If it worked, we'd all be skinny.

I use Hydroxycut everyday and it does work. It works for working out. If you take this as a diet pill without exercising it is not going to do anything. Just a waste of money. Only thing that it does for me is make me very aggressive and workouts easier allowing myself to push as much as I can. This is a not a diet pill. Should only be used as a supplement for working out. 

See... You say "This is a not a diet pill."  But that's not what their materials say... " If this is what you're looking for, make Hydroxycut® your weight-loss solution today."  That's straight off their web site. 

I stand by my original statment.  If it really worked, we'd all be skinny.

First, last, and always:

If the *&^%$#@! pills worked, we'd all be skinny. 

Now, that said, let's see what's in them before we get bent out of shape:

Calcium - good but it's only in dairy products where this has been shown to increase weight loss.  It's not the calcium specifically but something else going on there and that's not been isolated yet.

Chromium polynictonate - Nicotinate look familiar?  As in maybe nicotene?  As in tobacco?  Well, it's similar - both a stimulat and a control for blood sugar.

Potassium - helps your body shed excess sodium and thus water weight and helps to make you less sore when you work out. 

Garcinia cambogia - helps by helping your cells not to convert excess food into fat.  However, as this, plus the Gymnema, Soy, and Rhodiola all total 1.32 g, there here probably isn't enough to do much.  You'd probably get more from eating a nice strong curry. 

Gymnema sylvestre - lowers blood sugar but again, you're not really getting what I'd consider a "theraputic dose" of it.  Cinnamon works better at this.  Sprinkle some in your morning coffee. 

Soy phospholipids - aka Soy Bean Oil

Rhodiola rosea - mood enhancer like St. John's Wort.

Green Tea Extract - mostly antioxidants and caffiene

Caffiene Anhydrous - aka powdered Caffiene aka No Doz aka Vivarin

White Tea Extract - mostly antioxidants and caffiene

Oolong Tea Extract - aka Lipton Tea - mostly antioxidants and caffiene

In short their own label says that they're supplying about 200mg of caffiene per every 2 tablets. 

Frankly, there isn't anything that special.  The only thing I'd be concerned about your girlfriend about is taking that much caffiene on an empty stomach.  Caffiene irritates the lining of the stomach and that's probably not a good idea if you're not eating.

 

I agree. If it worked like a miracle diet pill we would all be skinny. Like I said makes my workouts easier. Damn, Morrigu, you know a lot. 

if you have any ANXIETY issues - DO NOT TAKE IT! I am on Lexapro for GAD and my trainer said to try it for workouts. I had the WORST attacks of my life. I ended up in the ER and from what they could figure - too much caffiene (even natural) is not a good thing

I agree with the post above.  If you have anxiety issues, don't take it.  At first I tried taking it without excercising and although it supresses the appetite a bit, it doesnt work that much.

BUT if you take it before you work out, I have found that it gives me more stamina to run just and to life a little bit more.

It is FULL of ingredients that are bad for you.  Take a look at 'other ingredients' on their website.  I read up on Hydroxycut when i was looking for a diet pill. 

I am now taking an all natural, stimulant free weight loss pill and have lost 30 lbs in 3 months!  And it is stimulant free so I don't get the jitters.  I'll stay on for another 3 months (have 30 more lbs to go).  So I am very happy and full of energy!
