my friends taking hydroxycut hardcore... 1% body fat?

Question

he has never been fat.. hes a athelete.. played basketball and what not so hes in shape... he started taking hydroxycut hardcore, and about 5-6 weeks later he says hes down to 1% body fat... is that even possible?

Answer 1

I seriously think 1% is really impossible. But hydrocut is for that purpose...t fat loss. It had been banned because it contained some ingredients not apporved by the FDA.

Anyways, you friend being an athlete should not be taking this . It can be harmful. He should be lean enuff form al the exercise he does. If you really care advise him to quit using hydrocut before sommething bad happens.

Answer 2

Even Pro bodybuilders have about 8-9% body fat in competition. Anyone who's dieted naturally to sub 10% body fat levels knows this to be true: the leaner you get, the more muscle mass you tend to lose. I've read in the classic starvation study (the Minnesota Semi-Starvation study) men were dieted for 6 solid months reaching 4-5% body fat at the end of the study. So unless the guy is a skeleton with skin stretched over it he isn't at 1%. He must look like one of those poor souls rescued from the concentration camps in WW2. See ladies it's not woman that have dangerous body issues.

Answer 3

Not possible. Contemporary male bodybuilders are sometimes able to get down to like 2 - 3%, I am told, and after tons of cardio and taking lots of steroids and supplements, but below that? 1% bodyfat? No, I don't think so.

Answer 4

He's lying.

Going below 10% can become dangerous to the body and it requires at least 3% to maintain proper function.

Answer 5

uhh no u would be deathly ill at 1%. he does not need hydroxcut that is for large people. he is going 2 kill himself. u need bodyfat to stay alive. he may have a very low single digit bodyfat, but anything lower then 3% and u get very sick

Answer 6

No
