Hydroxycut Review - Lose Weight Fast?

Introduction to Hydroxycut

Hydro is a prefix used to denote water and it is a word that is borrowed from the language of the ancient Greeks. Hydroxycut does not really utilize the power of water for anything, but does help you get rid of a lot of water weight according to the people responsible for its creation. If this is true, it means that people can lose a significant amount of weight fast with Hydroxycut while they are getting rid of their extra water weight. Whether the claim is true however is something that remains to be seen.

Hydroxycut Ingredients

Hydroxycut ingredients include calcium, chromium, potassium and two blends known as Hydroxagen Plus and HydroxyTea, both of which are registered trademarks on the part of Hydroxycut. The former blend contains garcinia cambogia rind extract, gymnema sylvestre leaf extract, phosphatidylserine-enriched soy lecithin and rhodiola rosea root extract. The latter blend contains green tea leaf extract , anhydrous (without water) caffeine; white tea leaf extract , oolong tea extract , ginger root extract, raspberry ketone and quercetin dehydrate.

Why Take Hydroxycut?

One of the great things about Hydroxycut is the fact that it is loaded with so many power ingredients in the weight loss field. HydroxyTea in particular has quite a bit going for it as ingredients such as green tea, white tea and oolong tea have all been shown through scientific studies to have some excellent weight loss powers. In fact, the anhydrous caffeine has also known to do this because of its ability to stimulate both the mind and the body and with those four ingredients together in the same treatment, there is definitely some serious weight loss potential there if you are looking at it in terms of reputation.

Hydroxycut comes with a fair amount of backing. For example, many studies have been done on individuals going through the process of diet, exercise and Hydroxycut for eight weeks and when their results were compared to results from people that went through a process of diet, exercise and placebo instead of taking Hydroxycut, the end results were quite a bit in favor of Hydroxycut. The results showed that people on Hydroxycut ended up losing between 3 and 5 times as much weight during those eight weeks as people on the placebo and for that reason Hydroxycut has proudly been portraying these results at every opportunity, touting them as absolute proof that their product works just as well as they claim.

Any Reason Not To Take Hydroxycut?

Hydroxycut definitely has quite a few high powered ingredients, but there is a problem that some of those ingredients might not be around in particularly large amounts. Both the Hydroxagen Plus and the HydroxyTea mixtures are proprietary blends and for that reason it is impossible to know how much of the constituent ingredients each pill happens to have. Hydroxagen Plus weighs 1.32 g collectively while HydroxyTea weighs 473 mg collectively. For HydroxyTea, it is actually mathematically impossible with that particular weight for all of the teas and the caffeine to be present in the amounts that would be required for weight loss to kick in and for that reason even though Hydroxycut has some good ingredients, caution is still required as their plans may not be as bulletproof as they claim.

Hydroxycut is backed by results via testimonials and studies, of that there can be no contention. That having been said however, there were studies done that also showed a lack of statistical significance regarding the results from Hydroxycut and at the same time it can also be argued that those studies were slightly more scientific in nature than the ones that showed the 3 to 5 times weight loss increase. These studies are in the minority, but any responsible reviewer would need to take them into account as a potential con showing that Hydroxycut might not work for anyone. Based on all of the studies, the most accurate and guarded statement to be made is that those that Hydroxycut works for will experience huge weight loss successes while those that it does not work for will be quite disappointed at the results that they get. The trick is in knowing who will fall into which category, but unfortunately the studies do not help much in making that particular determination.

Finally, one last problem with Hydroxycut worth mentioning is that it relies quite heavily on diet and exercise to be successful. The creators of the product are quite careful to make sure that it is made quite clear to the purchaser that their product will not work at its optimal level unless it is combined with both diet and exercise and even when that happens that results will vary. Essentially, what they are saying is that Hydroxycut will magnify results that people obtain through regular exercise regimens. If the multiplicative effect is the appropriate way of looking at Hydroxycut, the end result is that zero gains from diet and exercise will also mean zero gains from Hydroxycut. At the end of the day, that can hardly be a satisfying answer for most people.

Final Thoughts on Hydroxycut

When all of the facts regarding Hydroxycut are considered, there is really just one simple conclusion that must be reached. Hydroxycut treats each person as if they were part of one of two groups. The first group of people are those that have the resolve to diet and exercise on their own. For these people, Hydroxycut is a fantastic product because it seemingly has the ability to magnify results and for that reason you might be able to use Hydroxycut to lose 20 lbs over a period of time when you might have otherwise lost just 10 lbs. The second group of people however are people that do not have the ability to diet and exercise regularly and are people that are looking for a heavy duty weight loss supplement to help them get started. For these people, Hydroxycut is not a good option because it does not have the ability to perform well on its own.

Sounds good

Wednesday, 21 March 2012

I am one that typically likes to lose weight with just exercise and diet reduction. After not being able to get to my goal weight, I tried this but didn't see any results. I lost more with just using a raspberry ketone supplement. Good luck to everyone out there fighting the constant weight battle!

Hydroxycut Review - Use it Properly

Saturday, 10 December 2011

I baught Hydroxyvut 5 days ago, yes it is a bit expensive (45$) but im going to try it and give it a chance. The first 2 days you only take 1 pill in the morning and 1 at night, Then after these days, you can take 2 in the morning and 2 at night (5 hours before sleeping!). Use hydroxycut 30-60 minutes before eating (very important)!

Working so far....

Saturday, 20 August 2011

I have a thyroid issue. Going to the gym 11 times a week for 10 weeks and only lost 8 pounds. Started taking Pro Clinical Hydroxycut for a week now and the second day I was down a pound, yesterday I was down another two pounds. It gives great energy to get through my gym workout and also really curbs my appetite, I am not hungry all the time anymore. Whether it's a fluke sudden weight loss or because of Hydroxycut remains to be seen, but so far so good and will continue to take it as directed.

I have a thyroid problem. I was hesitant over hydroxycut but, a loved one informed me of his success to shed a few unwanted pounds so, I wanted to try. I lost 7 pds the first month. If you know anything about thyroid problems you know those with this has overactive or under-active. Basically with me, I loose 1/2 or less as fast as normal people. I have the metabolism of a 40-50 yr old lady when I'm in my twenties. I would say if I was normal I'd lost double or more. :) Gonna keep up the hydroxycut I sure think!

Why Take The Risk?

Tuesday, 09 February 2010

Dear Rayan, I agree with u it burns fat like hell! but why take the Risk ,and if this side effect was known,what about the unkown side effect that can't be determind only on the long run! and any fat burning pills have a direct effect on your liver therefor they alwayes tell u not to drink when u r taking fat bruners because it will have a great damage on the liver! so i don't think it's worth the risk!

It works!

Sunday, 03 January 2010

I took two bottles of this stuff last year during track and I lost between 20 and 30 pounds. Mind you that is when I was dieting heavy and working out just about every day too. This year i started to take it but I was not working at at all and I was only on a small diet and I only managed to lose between 2 and 5 pounds with the same amount of pills. This just goes to show you that these pills really are just a fat burning multiplier. If you are going to put alot of work into losing wight, this product will give that hard work a large boost, if you do not put any work into it it will have nothing to multple on and you will have just wasted 5 bucks. Also the FDA did recall the pills, but they are now back on the market which tells me that they have fixed the problem. Also the amount of people who got sick was about 40 in millions that use this product. You have a better chance of getting struck by lighting or bitten by a shark than you do of getting sick (let along dieing) from this product.

ZooBurn combined with FatFlush is a MUCH

Thursday, 08 October 2009

I used to take Hydroxycut until it was recalled and it was revealed that it could destroy your liver. For the last 2 weeks, i've been taking Zooburn and Fatflush and the results are pretty impressive. Combined with a pretty simple workout program, i've lost 12 pounds and have had a sustainable increase in energy without feeling nauseous the way that Hardcore used to leave me feeling.

One death due to liver failure has been reported to the FDA. Other health problems reported include seizures; cardiovascular disorders; and rhabdomyolysis, a type of muscle damage that can lead to other serious health problems such as kidney failure. Liver injury, although rare, was reported by patients at the doses of Hydroxycut recommended on the bottle. Symptoms of liver injury include jaundice (yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes) and brown urine. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, light-colored stools, excessive fatigue, weakness, stomach or abdominal pain, itching, and loss of appetite.

Hydroxycut

Tuesday, 24 March 2009

I have used Hydroxycut and I must say that I did have a lot more energy and did not feel as hungry as I usually did during the day. This helped me to lose 10 pounds... BUT I gained it back after I stopped using it (Which is why I'm now trying P90X).
