Are there any down sides to hydroxicut's dietary pills?

Answer 1

I don't know about hydrocycut specifically, but typically over the counter diet pills have some substance in it that feels like "speed." For a while, the substance was ephredra, but the FDA has banned that in most pills.......so, some pills have moved on to caffeine or other stimulants. Some even use stimulants found in cold medication..........and cold medication is one of the ingredients in meth amphetamine. Not that I'm say that hydroxcut is meth..........all I'm saying is be careful.

Any time you take a stimulant, you make the heart beat faster. I don't know about you, but I like my heart just as it is, so I don't want to take a substance that will make it beat faster than it wants.

I know you probably want to lose weight, but the answer isn't in a bottle. Losing weight is hard work. If you just use pills to do it, you are taking risks with your health and might just turn around and gain it all back.

If you lose weight the old fashioned way, you'll probably keep the weight off AND be healthy. I know the old fashioned of exercising and eating healthy is hard work and boring, but it really is the best way.

I'm sure lots of people who lose weight with hydroxycut end up losing weight.......but I bet they are losing muscle too. Most fad diets do lose muscle.

When you lose with exercise and eating healthy, you never lose muscle.....you build muscle.........and not only will you lose the weight and keep it off, your skin will glow with radiance, you hair will be healthy and shiny, and you will have muscles and abs that will be totally hot.

Don't take short cuts. You are worth it. Be fit AND healthy.

Good Luck

Answer 3

Yes. Over the counter (OTC) diet pills are considered as food supplements, and their use is unregulated. However, these are very popular and people continue to use them without considering the adverse side effects.

Answer 4

Yes -- the key ingredient --- ephedrine --- speeds up your metabolism. However, if you have a mitral valve prolapse (heart murmur), this could cause heart palpitations or flutters. It may not be life threatening, but it is very alarming.

Check with your physician immediately if you show such symptoms, or check with him / her first, before beginning your regime.
