Does anyone know the dangers (if any) of hydroxycut? It seems like that's the only way i lose weight.?

Question

I want to lose weight, but it seems like the only time I do is when I'm taking Hydroxycut. I'm not extremely overweight, I work out maybe 3-4 times a week, and i don't over eat or eat too much junk food. So I'm not just some lazy couch potato trying to have a pill do miracles. I just can't seem to lose weight without it, but I don't want to have to rely on a drug. I haven't had any problems with it, but people keep telling me it's bad for you. Does anyone know the real dangers (if any) of it? Please let me know.

Answer 1

Since ephedra was banned these OTC fat burners are basically a giant caffeine pill. Save your money.

But to actually answer your question, it is completely safe as long as you take the recommended dosage.

Answer 2

I've tried Hydroxycut and other supplements like the original MetaboLife and Stacker, and Xenedrine, and have gotten mixed results. As long we you don't have high blood pressure or pre-existing heart conditionts, you should be ok ith a diet pill. Of course, if you ever feel any adverse effects, you should stop taking it an consult a doctor.

If you're looking to supplement your diet plan, you'll most likely want a good metabolic booster and appetite suppressant. I'd suggest taking a look at Herbalean. It does have Ephedra, which was unbanned this year by the FDA - so it's legal in the US again. It also has Hoodia for the appetite suppression, so the combination works VERY well for me.

I've been taking it for a couple months now, and the Hoodia keeps me from snacking and gets rid of the sweet cravings, while the Ephedra gives me a good energy boost through the whole day.

It's made by the original makers of MetaboLife, and they've improved the formula with Hoodia and 77 trace minerals and herbs. It's also an extended release formula, so you won't get the jitters from the Ephedra like you would with MetaboLife.

The ingredients can cause heart flutters and palpitations. I took Hydroxycut, along with other ephedra products many years ago. I dropped 120 pounds on the stuff.

Yes, it works, but it's not good for you. Doctors always say you have to eat right and exercise. We always make that to be complicated, but rather, it's really simple. You have to plan your meals and your exercise.

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

I plan my meals/exercise every day and it helps maintain my weight. There is an awesome website called FitDay. You can visit the site at:

It's a wonderful free site, and allows you to easily count and track your food intake, calories, and fitness workouts. I absolutely love it.

Diet pills damage metabolism down the road plus they are only weight loss aids. Diets do not work. 99% of people gain the weight back. Here is how it works. No one teaches the animal what to eat and what not to eat. He knows instinctively what to eat. Humans also have the same instinct. The way it works is just eat whatever tastes good and that will be healthy for you and non-fattening. That is why a baby tastes everything. So again whatever tastes good, is good for you. This is why you will spit out spoiled milk.

But wait!!! Man has the technology to create rat poison. It tastes like healthy food (good taste) but kills the rat. So man has done that to you. Note- any food unaltered by man (uncooked) that tastes good, is good for you. So if you are stranded in the woods, that is how you know what to eat (cooking changes that). So man has created fake fruit. It tastes like fruit that exists in nature but it is terrrible for health, addictive and fattening called sweets.

So it is natural to like real sweets called fruit, like a baby does, but they have fooled you just like the rat. But they do not want to kill you. They want you to become obese so you will buy lots of their foods. This is called GOOD BUSINESS. Remember the above (not on site) and see site below to re-learn how to eat so you can be thin and fit for life.
