Has anyone tried hydroxycut as directed on bottle? With a healthy diet and exercise? Results?

Question

How long before you noticed results?

Answer 1

I can only tell you what my doctor said. He did not approve because of possible heart complications.

Answer 2

No, but IF, and that is the key word... If you have a healthy diet and good exercise program and need a little boost, they can be fine for short term loss. The biggest problem with these things, is that people rely on them 24/7 and then slack off hoping the pills will make up for them. This isn't the case.

Now to the poster who said their Doctor wouldn't recommend them... Doctors and their decisions are a whole other topic.

IF the doctor is worried, the only thing they are going to be worried about is the 200mg caffeine. Now there are many people in this world who get close to that on a daily basis with all the pop and coffee they drink, so YOU personally have to know how your body reacts to caffeine.

There are quite a few Doctors who love to think they have a handle on the supplement industry and they dont. They have a PhD or MD and think they are experts in this field. THEY ARE NOT.

My guess is that they dont even know Ephedra is off the market, You could probably tell a Dr your fat burner has Ephedra in it, ask if it is ok, and then see if they go on the rant about how you shouldn't take it. If they were smart, they would know it isn't in there.

Some do know what they are talking about, some do not. This is why when you go to your Dr, and ask about losing weight, they dont elaborate very much on it. A Doctor is NOT an expert in every area.

Hence why you have exercise scientists, exercise physiologists, etc. They are not trained in those areas and do not go to school for exercise and nutrition. This is why you dont ask your doctor to design a periodization program if you were an athlete. He cant unless he is in the exercise field.

Its the same thing you hear about creatine by some doctors. Creatine is bad. Creatine is NOT bad, and creatine is the most researched supplement out there. Of course they have MD behind their name and claim to know it all, when they dont.

All i'm saying is there is nothing more than the caffeine in that bottle that will cause that problem.

Results will vary from one person to another. And at the same time you have people make outrageous claims, so you have to weed them out. Some people have good results cause they have a great program in line too. Some people dont cause they eat everything and the kitchen sink too, and then wonder why the pill isnt working.

If you have JUST started out, you should do without them. If you have been at it for a long time and want to incorporate them into your regimen, then you should be ok, assuming you follow directions.

Answer 3

Diet pills are a big no no. Get rid of the diet pills and follow this:

Eat less, excersie more.
