Is hydroxycut bad?

[Sortasoftbodied]

I keep hearing that it is good and bad...is it ok to kick start a diet plan?

Please let me know what you all think.

I think they're marketing department is good, and they have an excellent advertising budget. You can't pick up an issue of Hydroxycut Today, er, I mean Oxygen Magazine without seeing that fact.

I don't personally use thermos, and I wouldn't. Many people here do. Like any drug, dosing and duration go a long way toward anything resembling "safety."

I tried Hydroxycut but it gave me killer abdominal cramps! I've used other ephedra products and had no problems but for some reason the Hydroxycut didn't agree with me.

By the way I have pretty much an entire 120 cap bottle (minus the 3 days of pills I took) sitting on my desk gathering dust... if anyone want 'em I'd mail them to ya. But I guess, it's hard to know who's a pyschopath, and I wouldn't be too keen on taking something from an "opened" bottle from a total stranger either.. hehe. Ah well, I guess I'll toss 'em eventually, if I can't find a friend that wants them.

I used to use Hydroxycut. It worked pretty well for me, but I believe it started to cause some menstual issues for me. I wasn't taking any other supplements at the time and I have always been like clockwork. My period always started on the same day, I could almost nail it down to a 4 hour time of when it would start that day. It always stopped on the same day too. Then suddenly it went crazy. One month started a couple days early, the next a week early and it lasted until the normal end date... very strange. I stopped taking Hydroxycut and my problems ceased. Now I'm taking NYC. So far no problems and it is working well. I can't definitely say Hydroxycut was the problem, but can't come up with anything else.

I think Hydroxycut is too expensive when compared to other thermos that work just as well. I'd shop around, compare ingredient lists, and if you have to take 6 pills/day, there's something wrong. With most thermos, you only need to take 1 pill 2-3 times/day.

Hydroxycut is just like any other eca stack, it just cost more. They are helpful when dieting though.

I think that too many poeple rely on them for their weight loss. The two most potent ingredients for weight loss are diet and exercise, get these two in good check for a while and then re-evaluate whether you want to take hydroxycut.JMHO.
