I started Hydroxycut a week ago and have lost 5 pounds. I am 58 years old and have gained 30 lbs over the last five years. I found it impossible to lose until now. I am sold on this product!

I finished the entire bottle of Hydroxycut Max, and never noticed any difference. I didn’t lose any weight and i didn’t have any more energy.
The GNC’s and Vitamin World stores in southeast Michigan haven’t even heard of it. My husband bought it for me from Georgia.
The only day that I actually HAD any energy was my 2nd to last day taking them. I’m really disappointed. I took them religiously with absolutely no effect. This was even with exercising, and I eat healthy already.

I started Hydroxycut max two weeks ago, and I have lost 3 pounds. I’m exercising 3 hours a day and on a diet, and Hydroxycut gives me so much energy, I’m getting diced!
I love it, but I’m having trouble sleeping. I don’t get much sleep even though I’m tired and sleepy at nights.

I am only on my second day and the lowest dose, of course, I have tons of energy and am really alert and I’m not as hungry.
One problem is I have a slight headache all day long. I slept 10 hrs last night, maybe my body was exhausted from running on high all day?
I can’t imagine taking any higher dosage than I already am, I think I would feel weird and maybe a little sick.
Marni on 03 Nov 2008 at 10:40 am #
I have to say at first I had stomach pains about 10 min after I took them. This lasted about a week. After that span of time, I felt more energized, less hungry and I ate smaller portions.. This was essential to me.. Also, after finishing one bottle, I lost a total of 13 lbs. I must add, I cut out dairy- cheese, milk and egg yolk’s while on this product. The reason was to reduce my cholesterol. However, that combined with Hydroxycut Max worked for me!!! I love it!!!

I have been taking Hydroxycut max for almost one month and have not lost any weight other than the 2-3 pounds from exercising.
It does increase your energy for the first couple weeks other than that I got much better results from the cheaper diet pills.
I was very disappointed, as I was hoping to lose at least the 10 pounds the label said I would. Just having my third baby, I want to lose the extra weight that I have gained quickly.
Any suggestions on other diet pills would be greatly appreciated.

I started taking Hydroxycut Max this week and have noticed a vast improvement in my energy levels. At times though I have been too HYPED and my friends have had to tell me to take a chill pill. I
am finding it hard to sleep even though I am only on 1-2 tablets a day. My mind is clearer and I am loving getting back into exercise, it has helped me get a new mindset. After working in retail through December I am needing something to get my A** into Gear.
I realize that just taking the tablets alone is not going to make me loose weight, but if it gives me the energy to exercise then I have no problem with taking them.

I just started Hydroxycut Max for Women yesterday. It made me feel very energized and made my appetite almost non-existent. The only bad thing I can say about Hydroxycut is that I felt a slight “crash” at the end of the day. But that’s nothing unbearable.
I love the fact that it doesn’t make me feel weird or give me stomach aches, even when I don’t eat a few hours after taking them.
I can honestly say that it gives me the push I need to get my butt in the gym and also do rigorous household chores without feeling overwhelmed.

I have been on Hydoxycut max or about 2 months now and have lost approximately 25lbs. I am also dieting and exercising, but I have been on diets before and nothing has ever made me lose the weight so fast.
I’m loving it, and I hope it can do the same for many others!

I have been taking Hydroxycut max for 3 weeks now and I feel very good with the results so far. I haven’t lost more than 3 pounds but have lost inches. My jeans are very loose and thats how I know it’s working!
I have tons of energy with out the jitters and or being hungry or cranky. So far so good!
Jeska on 19 Jan 2009 at 12:48 pm #
This is my second day on Hydroxycut Max and I have already noticed the amazing increase in energy levels, only half an hour into taking my first pill.
I am starting on 2 pills twice a day before exercise! My usual running route usually takes me half an hour to 40 minutes. After taking Hydroxycut I did it in an amazing 20mins and kept going with weights when I got home.
I have never lifted so much weight and done so many sit ups in the one session, and it felt amazing.
The downside is I do feel a bit queasy pretty much straight after I take my tablet and a little light headed.
Other than that the energy levels are great and I hope to see some fat loss results soon!

I have used two bottles of Hydroxycut Max and I loved it. The only bad thing is it gave me extremely bad acne! I have never in my life had any skin problems until I took this!
It did do everything it said and I lost 30 pounds really fast! I haven’t taken it in 4 months and my skin started clearing up after I got it all out of my system.
I want to start taking it again but I’m hesitant. I don’t like having acne – it is very embarrassing! So I can lose more weight and have zits or just find something just as good and lose weight hopefully no zits!
Any suggestions?
keyshia on 24 Jan 2009 at 5:05 pm #
I have started taking the pills about 2 months ago and I have lost about 5lbs. I have noticed a huge difference in my energy levels. You will feel wired up for awhile.
If you stick to it, taking the pills as recommended, DRINK A LOT OF WATER, and exercise, you will definitely see a difference. You have to be patient… do not expect the weight to come off tomorrow. Definitely take two full bottles and you won’t be disappointed!

I started Hydroxycut Max for women a week ago, so far I have managed to lose six pounds. It is only used to curve my appetite as you will need to eat and exercise to achieve results. I recently went through menopause and was unable to lose weight regardless of what I tried and trust me, I have tried a lot of things – from Jenny Craig to to starvation. This product works for me. But I can say that not everything works for everyone.

This is my 3rd day on these pills. I dont know if it’s all in my mind or what but I do have a lot of energy. I work nights and sleep maybe 5 hours then I’m half dead most of the day laying around and falling asleep a lot, Since I took Hydroxycut, I still sleep 5 hours but I’m alert the whole day – I work out and actually have energy to clean and organize my whole house! If you need a kick this is it! I’m also taking gnc ultra mega active multivitamins… these two products are helping me make it through the day (btw I have a 18 month old son).

I used Hydroxycut Max last summer and went from a size 10 to a size 6 in 8 weeks. It gave me the energy I needed to workout 3-5 times a week. I also kept it off. I stopped working out/dieting in November (still somewhat eating healthy, but not strict dieting) and did not put much of the weight back on. I just started taking the pills again and have lost almost all what I put back on very fast!

I have just started taking the Hydroxycut Max and love it. I have not had the jitters and can sleep at night. I am also doing the px90 workout with it and eating cleanly. When I look in the mirror I can see my waist. I am sure it is just water weight, but hey – it’s a start. I have recommended this product to my girlfriends who are serious about having killer bodies for the summer!

Hydraxycut Max has been the best fat burner I have used. Never got a side effect from it and had very good results. Hope it comes back to the market.

I just started these tablets. I started with the recommended dose of 3 tablets. After half hour or so I was off my head. I felt like i was having an out of body experience – it was very unpleasant, so definitely work your way up to the full dose.

Hydroxycut does NOTHING. Studies have even proven that. It is worthless.
Editor’s comments: Sarah, on this web site, you’re not allowed to say “studies say” unless you provide a link to those studies. Would you be so kind to provide them to us? While we’re no fans of Muscle Tech, and do agree that the claims for Hydroxycut Max are exaggerated, it does contain some ingredients for which a small body of positive clinical evidence exists. We’re unaware of any published studies that verify Hydroxycut’s worthlessness; if you can provide them to us, we’ll post the link here!

I began taking hydroxycut max a few days ago, and found that yes it does give me a boost of energy, and I am only taking the lowest does. Although, I haven’t had a does of caffeine in nearly a year either. So that feeling coming back to me was a little weird, but not overwhelming. I am mainly taking it to help boost my running energy levels and to trim up my shape. Dieting and exercising alone wasn’t helping. I hope this will.

I started taking Hydroxycut Max yesterday and have noticed an increase in energy and was less hungry. I had the energy to run and I pushed out 12 extra min. I felt good all day and even had energy to clean my whole house and play with my three kids (2 of which are under 2). The only problem I had was a slight headache but nothing too bad. I hope to lose the rest of my baby weight.

I just started Hydroxycut Max 2 days ago and I feel awake (not wired)and have notice a decrease in my appetite. I haven’t weighed myself yet but I will in about 2wks to see if there have been any changes. So far no complaints and I’m not feeling any adverse effects either. Will keep consumers posted.

I just started on Hydroxycut Max and while I didn’t have my heart racing last night I had a great deal of trouble falling asleep. Today I will experiment with taking pills earlier. I am on a protein shake diet. This morning is bagel day at my office which is usually hard to resist.
Today I made my protein shake, took my pill and so far, so good. I don’t think these pills will work miracles but they do give me that extra little bit of help to stay on course. Last night I didn’t snack at all either which is huge as I’m a late night nibbler.

I have been taken all kinds of fat burners and nothing really worked – Not like this one. Right away my energy levels went up, I lost my cravings completely and trust me I have cravings! lol. I don’t have the desire to eat as much in regards to portions as well as I have to FORCE myself to eat sometimes or remind myself because I might forget as I am not hungry that much. I do work out 4-6 days a week. 3 days with a trainer working mostly with weights and strength training and the rest I do basic cardio exercise for 20-45 minutes plus I don’t own a car and speed-walk everywhere. I haven’t restricted my diet but naturally I curve toward healthy choices and am disgusted with fast/junk food. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy a unhealthy snack once in awhile but I find with this pill I really don’t again have those cravings as much.
I don’t weight myself as I think the scale is evil – I just go by how my clothes fit me. In just 2 weeks of using this pill I already have gone down about a full dress size.
The key is remember to drink at least 500 ML each time you take it. I try to do a full liter each time which is nice because water helps weight loss not to mention with your skin and overall health. And I take 2 pills in the AM, 2 at lunch and then 2 early evening with again a full liter of water each time. I felt sick the first week and now feel nothing unless I drink too much tea that day which I have had to cut back.
Bottom line, I think there is something for everyone – Some things will work for you but not for me and vice versa but hydroxy cut max is for SURE worth a try. Along with Oolong tea I have never had such a fantastic weight loss reaction – It is a nice addition to working out and eating better.
Goodluck!!

I have lost 20 lbs with Hydroxycut. I’m down to my second bottle but it doesn’t seen to work anymore. I just hit a plateu – I exercise about 3 times a week and follow my diet plan… I will try something new now.

Hydroxycut gave me a little energy, but it also made be feel nauseous. The nauseous feeling may not apply to everyone, but for me, I was not able to continue using the product. Hydroxycut Max made be feel better while at work, but later after using the product I felt down in energy. I do not know if that down feeling would go away with future use, but for me I need energy all the way through the day, not to have energy during the day, and not at night. Timing it and having more faith in weight loss products might make one have a good nights sleep on more reflection, but the down feeling was sluggishness, not sleepiness.
Visitor Rating:Falan on 12 Jun 2010 at 5:28 pm #
I have been taking Hydroxycut max for almost a week now and it does give me a much needed boost of energy…nothing too dramatic but enough for me to want to go to the gym as opposed to dragging myself there. I felt slightly nauseous the first couple of days but Im fine now. My appetite has been supressed somewhat (especially early in the day) but when it comes to evening I am rather hungry and end up eating a larger amount (this is probably the reason why I havent lost any weight!) so I might try what Dee suggested (3 doses of 2 caps). My partner seems to think I look more toned since starting this product though. I’ll provide another update in a weeks time… Good luck to all reading this!!:)

I just but Hydroxycut max, hoping to increase my energy and loose some fat. I´m starting to do exercise after two years of a sedentary life. What will be the best diet to do a long with these pills… any suggestions please!
I need to loose 20lbs!
Editor’s comments: Restrict simple carbohydrates (sweets, breads, buns, pastas, cereals, etc) and eat high fiber fruit and vegetables and lean proteins. Stay away from processed and pre-prepared foods. As far as programs go, we recommend Tom Venuto’s “Burn The Fat“. Or alternatively, check our diets section to read about other options.

I just started the Hydroxycut Womens formula about 2 weeks ago. I have been boxing for almost 2 yrs, have changed my diet completely. I was disapointed that I wasn’t loosing any weight for a few months, I was exercising and eating right, I planned to do it right. I thought I needed a boost, so I thought I try a product that would push my metabolism a bit. Well so far I dropped 5lbs, I don’t really know if it is the product working or stress from work, exercise or changing my diet. Well I will tell you I didn’t feel any side effects or anything, just nausea when I really start to exercise, then it goes away. I drink lot’s of water, so I think it helps. I sleep fine, no headaches or pains. But I will let everyone know, how I am doing on it. I am taking 2 capsules twice daily, no coffee, just a glass of orange juice in the morning and water for the rest of the day. I eat a healthy breakfast, veggies and seafood for the rest of the day. I eat no bread, rice, pasta’s or anything sugary. The product has given me energy, but then I crash at the end of the day. I think it has been good so far.

I went through an entire bottle of Hydroxycut and I did not lose any weight and this pill increased my depression and actually made me feel even fatter even though I was not gaining weight.
I would not recommend this product because it sent me into a deep depression. I am glad that I stopped taking them.

The comments really help to motivate myself… I’m starting my 1st bottle 3 days ago. It’s giving a lot of energy that I need. All I have to do now is go to the gym, at least 3x a week and cut down my rice. All I want from hydroxycut max is lose 10 pounds in a month, but most of it is in my waist line.
Any suggestion for me editor? My problem is cutting down my rice. If I don’t eat rice… I feel hungry.
Editor’s comments: Jasmelyn, 15 minutes before eating try drinking a large glass of water and taking a serving of a fiber supplement (like Metamucil). This will help fill your stomach so you will feel fuller, quicker – without eating as much.

I drink a ton of water and nothing else with caffeine. I’m hoping on any suggestions to stop these migraine side affects so I can continue taking hydroxycut. Thank you!
Editor’s comments: Alesha, a full daily dose of Hydroxycut contains 600 mg of caffeine, which is a LOT. Maybe try cutting the dosage a bit to see if that helps.

I took HCM and lost 20lbs and I was taking 2 pills 2x daily w/ plenty of water. Continued healthy eating and exercising (at least) 20 mins a day will surely give you results.
I now take only 1 pill 2x daily w/ healthy eating and exercise and I’m still losing the weight slowly. All I can say is do your research before starting any exercise program, HCM may not work for everyone’s weight loss goal. Be Blessed!! =D

I took Hydroxycut Max for Women for a little over 2 weeks. The first week was fine, but after that I started having side effects such as chest pains and neck stiffness.
I thought me sleeping wrong could have been the cause of my neck issue but when I stopped taking it for 2 days and then took it again, the neck stiffness even got worse. Use Hydroxycut at your own risk!
The product does work because I saw results within the first week but it wasn’t worth the pain! My bottle is now in the trash! Thanks Hydroxycut!

I have taken Hydroxycut Max for two days. I am more energized and for the first time actually enjoy working out. I take 2 pills at 8am and then 2 pills at 1pm. I work out after taking them and it feels like I’m not exercising.
I started at 83kgs 7 weeks ago and only lost 3kgs, which is the reason I’m taking Hydroxycut max.
So far my appetite is suppressed and my mind does not think about eating all the time. My weight now in 2 days is between 78 and 79 so I am feeling great. I will keep in touch and post how it goes by Monday.

I started taking hydroxycut max for women about 5 days ago, and so far I have lost about 6lbs. However, for about a half an hour after taking the pills, I experience shortness of breath, my heart pounds like crazy, and I get extremely nauseous. Right now I’m up to the 4 pills a day, I’m honestly afraid to up my dose to 6. it has curbed my appetite, and I have lost weight, but I feel like I am going to have a heart attack.

I just started taking Hydroxycut Max for Women around lunch time yesterday. I have ALREADY lost 4 lbs. I have a constant headache, increased heart rate, constant thirst, shakes/muscle spasms, & can hardly sleep.
This supplement obviously works, but 4 lbs in one day cannot be healthy, not to mention all of my side effects. Good for weight loss, but I wouldn’t suggest using this product.
Editor’s comments: Bailey, most of what you have lost is water weight. Please take the product for a month and report back your results.

I have taken this product for 4 days now and I do have a slight headach, reduced appetite, sometimes extra energy and sometimes I feel like I need a nap. Day 2 I weighed myself and was 2.5 pounds lighter. I have been drinking tons of water so much it makes my stomach hurt. But the one thing that I am really astonished with is that my sex drive is insane. Can you tell me why?
I do recomend it, I have 2 clients who love it and one is done and lost 40 pounds in 3 months. I just want to loose 20. I exercise vigorously 3-4 days aweek and try to eat healthy on most occasions. This is the only diet pill i have ever tried. I started it because of what my clients said.

I have 4 year old and 2 jobs (waitressing) and walk 4-9 miles a day, 6 days a week, at work. (some days I work doubles which increases my distance) I don’t have time to go to the gym but I do 2 boot camp classes each week. I am 5’6 and weigh approx. 150 lbs. I hope to lose 15-20 lbs in the next 2 months. Is this an acheivable goal? I do have workout videos that I can do at home, and I like to play Just Dance on the Wii.

Just a question for the EDITOR and everyone who has taken Hydroxycut Max, and has been off of it for a while. Many people are worried about diet pills and how it ruins your metabolism when you stop taking them. Is it true that metabolism slows down even more once you quit?
Editor’s comments: Most fat burners contain central nervous system stimulants that can elevate the metabolism slightly. When you stop taking them, this effect is no longer applicable. There is no evidence moderate use of common stimulants “ruins” your metabolism, but it is true people coming off a diet find their metabolism to be slower than when they started.
The reasons for this…
1) Extreme caloric restriction lowers the metabolism.
2) Extreme dieting causes the loss of muscle mass as well as fat. Since muscle is metabolically active tissue, it contributes to an elevated metabolism. If you lose a substantial amount of it while dieting, you will end the dieting period less enabled to sustain an elevated metabolism as a result of this loss.

I have just started Hydroxycut Max today and I have already noticed that I have much more energy. I did feel lightheaded after I took a pill but then that passed after a couple of minutes. I have also already seen a dramatic change in my appitite (no more cravings or feeling hungry all the time). I feel fuller faster n already eating smaller portions without even realizing it. I plan on weighing myself in about 2 weeks from now. My goal is to lose 10-20lbs in 2-3months. So far I am already sold on this product.

I just bought Hydroxycut max for woman 2 days ago, but I’m hesitant to drink it – I was wondering if it will interfere with my birth control. Is it safe to take it even though I wont be taking them at the same time?
I need to lose weight – being 24 with 4 children my last being a girl, I don’t feel to happy with my body. I am eating less and doing zumba exercises but I need an extra boost and I’ve heard this was the pill to take for that.

Hydroxycut is great! But not for all. I makes you very hyper and not hungry at all. It makes me feel like i had a 4 course meal when in all reality i didn’t even eat. It like an anorexia pill if you ask me… I lost 3 pounds in a day just to the simple fact of forcing myself to eat isn’t my favorite thing to do.
Visitor Rating:Kimberly on 14 Jul 2011 at 2:25 pm #
Well, since my last post, I have stopped taking Hydroxycut. For the first week, I had amazing energy and motivation, and was less hungry and ate smaller portions. Then after that, I started feeling tired and my eyes hurt. I was burnt out. I didn’t do any workouts. And my eating changed, too. Now, the 2 days after I stopped taking it were pure hell. I was basically in bed going through withdrawls, like I was coming off a drug. It could have been the caffeine, becuase in 2 weeks I had not drank any soda or coffee and my body may have been craving for it, but it was awful. This product is good for a short period, but takes its toll on you! I am a pretty active person, I eat ok, (not super healthy, but ok) I should not have had this reaction. Best of luck to all you, I hope it turns out better for you than it did for me.

I have been taking Hydroxycut Max for Women for about two weeks. I haven’t seen any real weight loss yet. I am having some constipation. I take two in the morning and I don’t feel any more energized than usual. I can’t sleep at night. Editor are these side effects normal?
Editor’s comments: Tara, if you have a tolerance for stimulants, you may not feel any more energized. At the same time, the unique combination of ingredients – including those for mental focus (see the full Hydroxycut Max review for details), may make it difficult to sleep. Additionally, some people complain of constipation when consuming large amounts of caffeine.

This is the added kick in the butt I just needed!! I have been working out for 3 weeks and lost 3 lbs. So I figured I needed a kick in the butt. I have goals I need to reach now!! With the added energy I got in to the gym 3x more working out harder!! I worked out 2 hrs a day 6 days with calorie consumption of 1200 cal max!! While on that plan using the product I lost 5lbs the first week I’m very impressed!! I feel great!!! It’s worth it to take it if you will take full advantage of the extra energy and hunger Supressing effects!! If you are gonna walk once a week and eat moderately you will not see max results!! For the max results you need to push yourself there with the help of the product!!

I started taking Hydroxycut Max for women about two weeks ago. I began a weight loss kick at the beginning of the summer and had lost some inches already. I just wanted an extra boost for energy as my college course load started again. So far I have had good results. I have lost about an extra inch or so around my waist but I have not weighed myself in months. I can definitely tell the difference. I get a little jittery sometimes right after taking it but not to the point where it interferes with my functionality. It doesnt really destroy my hunger, it just makes me feel full faster and for longer periods of time. I still have an appetite when I need to eat. Dont take it after 6 or 7 at night and you’ll sleep fine, especially if you take advantage of the energy to get some exercise. All-in-all, a great product to try at a good price.

Ok as promised I’m back. I started taking these pills on the 20th of august! And within the first 2 days I felt a lot of crazy energy. I was sweating a lot and I felt hungry a few times but once I drunk the water I felt fine! I do advise that u drink a lot of water or else your going to be very thirsty! At the beginning I did feel that they were working but as soon as I got use to them I felt that they were not working as much. I still have hunger cravings and if I eat too much I feel sick!
When I went to work (I work in retail) I felt jittery but awake! I haven’t weighed myself yet but I will do so when I finish the bottle!

This product does not work. I have taken a whole bottle, 6 tablets a day and i don’t feel any increase in energy and have only lost two pounds in the last Month. What weight i did lose is probably due to better eating and working out every night for an hour and a half….I say Don’t waste your money by fooling yourself into thinking it works. Over the counter weight loss pills, in my opinion,have not been worth it in at least the last six years. One plus is it Didn’t make me feel sick like others have in the past. Probably because it Does not work!!!!!

I started hydroxycut max about two weeks ago and I’ve already lost a couple pounds but I wasn’t too too big to start with so maybe my weight loss will be less. They make you feel full faster so you’re not wanting to eat all day and also they make you have regular bowel movements!
I recommend these to anyone who overeats or who binge eats because it definitely helps break that cycle! Best wishes!

Dear Editor…
I am 29 and 10 pounds overweight. I have hypo thyroid disease more than 10 years. I’m taking a pill for it and as u know, losing weight is so hard for ppl with hypo thyroid disease. I want to know, is Hydroxycut Max going to be helpful for me to loose 10 pounds during one month?
I’m doing exercise every day at gym and in diet for 2 months. I’ve already lost 7 pounds till now without taking any fat burner pill. I’m looking forward to hear from u soon. Thank you very much
Editor’s comments: Unfortunately, stimulant based products are not recommended for anyone with thyroid disease. You’ll have to keep doing it the old fashioned way.

Dear Editor
I wish to know if its safe taking the pills 30 min before working out, like spinning or weight lifting? Hope you can help me, thanks..
Editor’s comments: Sarah, this product contains a lot of caffeine, but if you don’t have any health problems or aren’t sensitive to caffeine you should be fine. We’d probably recommend only taking a single capsule prior to workout to assess your tolerance. One thing to remember; taking caffeine prior to a workout will allow you to workout longer and harder and place greater strain on your heart. It may help you “overdo” it without knowing you’re overdoing it.
Does that help?

Hello good morning.
Like I was saying in my previous post I really need to clear my doubts about this product, in the directions section says that 2xday, this is from day 1 to 3, now my question is: on what time during the day should I take the first pill? and the second, could be one hour or half before my exercise?
Thanks!
Editor’s comments: It’s usually a good idea to take one dose in the morning and one in the early afternoon – you’d don’t want to take it too late in the day or you may not be able to sleep.

Thank you for your advice! excellent. Only one more question, is best taken before or after breakfast? Hence in general I felt amazing I took one in the morning and then an hour and a half before my exercise and it was great, this will be my second day, so I hope to continue as well. Soon I will be checking my weight, thank you dear Editor that were the right ones to clarify my doubts.
Editor’s comments: Usually the first taken is taken 15 minutes before breakfast. Have you checked the product label?

I have a lot of Energy and I don’t feel hungry. Its only been 4 days and I checked my weight on Friday – I’m 147lbs. I’m not doing any crazy exercises 30min walking or running daily I don’t eat after 6pm and if I do snack its fresh veggies but that’s not needed now that I’m rarely hungry. I do drink lots of water and when i purchased the pill at GNC i was told to take vitamins and drink plenty fluids.
I hope to lose 20lbs but ill be happy with 10lbs. I don’t think its possible or healthy to do it in 1week so no crazy goals here….I’ll post again after Friday

I also have a HUGE appetite normally; I thought it would not do anything to my appetite. I was wrong, it really does surpress my appetite. I workout and have been eating healthy, so I think that also helps. I have not weighed myself because I don’t believe in scales. I hope to lose and I am sure I will. I would recommend this product to anyone!!

Love this product!! Because workouts/diet differ from person to person I don’t want to give false hope talking about how much weight I have lost while taking this supplement.
HOWEVER, I have lost weight. I take only 1 capsule approx 30 mins prior to working out, purely for the energy it gives me to push harder and drive longer. No jitters whatsoever.. Be warned, the three days or so I did get light headaches but they went away as my body built up a tolerance to the new additive. Do not take this within say 5/6 hours of bedtime, or you’ll be pacing around your room. Otherwise… Love, Love, Love! Good luck to you all in your fitness ventures!

Hydroxycut causes liver damage. I was a huge fan of the Hydroxycut powder packets because they did increase energy and decrease appetite. I went for my yearly physical and got blood work done. My Dr. insisted I stop taking it immediately. There are other reviews online with this being related to liver failure. Please take caution. Thanks.

Just started taking it this morning, so far seems effective. I’m not hungry (not full, but not hungry) and I seem to have more energy to devote to the things I’ve been procrastinating on. My circadian rhythm has been off so I made sure to take it when I was woken up “early” this morning by my phone (10:30 a.m. is early for me now). Popped that sucker in my mouth before I could fall back asleep. 30 minutes later I was wide awake in bed. (As a frame of reference, if left unattended I will sleep until 3 or 3:30 p.m.) Wasn’t hungry, but ate a 90-cal granola bar and drank some water. Wanted to take a multivitamin because it seemed like I wouldn’t be up to eating at all today, but skipped it because I didn’t want to stress our my stomach (maybe I’ll take one tomorrow). I’m not feeling jittery, and I never drink coffee (but I do drink Coke on occasion, but never more than 1 can in a day). I received some surprising news this morning and felt a little freaked out/shaky, but I don’t know if I should attribute that to me or to the pill. Walked about 30 minutes today and if I had the right running shoes I could have jogged a bit, which is encouraging because I severely dislike exercise. Haven’t weighed myself; I’ll wait a week to let the water weight go first. I’ll keep updating as I’d love to hear more updates from other people and am always left wondering when they disappear. I am a notorious eater/snacker but so far have only had the one granola bar, and a small bowl of meat, veggies, and rice (which I kind of had to force). Before I took the 2nd pill this afternoon, I felt pretty hungry, but about 10 minutes after I took it, I wasn’t hungry anymore. But you still gotta eat anyway. Couple times I dry-heaved, but that happens to me every once in a while during cold weather anyway.

Probably spoke a bit soon. I’m feeling pretty lightheaded and dizzy despite the fact that I’ve been sitting for the past 2 hours or so. I was thinking about eating something light, but of course because it’s not recommended to take any pills 5 hours prior to sleeping, I’m going to have to break the “no snacks between meals” rule. I think anyone can lose weight if for 13 hours a day, they don’t eat anything (5 hrs buffer + 8 hrs sleep). I’m re-rating this as 3 stars. Not bad, not fantastic.

I bought HCM today and im only a few pounds over weight.. But i have heard from other weight loss pills if you dont have much weight to loose taking weight loss pill will make you gain weight.. will this product make me gain weight? Comments please
Editor’s comments: You get fat only if you eat more calories than you require. This product may suppress your appetite a bit, or it may not, but it will not make you fat unless it stimulates your appetite. So if you find yourself eating more, this isn’t the product for you.
Visitor Rating:Allison on 18 Feb 2012 at 1:11 am #
Okay, so here’s my breakdown:
The “only” way to lose weight is to consume fewer calories than you burn, i.e., eat less, exercise more. Hydroxycut Max lets you do that. It’s incredibly easy to eat less throughout the day, but by nighttime you might get hungry. I know I did. I didn’t want to take any pills because they seriously keep me up 6-10 hours after I take them, but I can’t not eat a snack at night. So something light like low-fat yogurt should be fine. A couple slices of an apple. But if your hunger was like mine, a full meal would have to do. Because of that, I only lost a couple of pounds in the first few days. Days 1-3 I walked 30 mins, 1 hr 45 mins, and 3 hrs respectively, and I felt very very sleepy and lightheaded from the lack of sleep. But my body couldn’t sleep. i kept going. I may be a bit easy on myself, but in my mind, sleeping enough hours and getting proper nutrition is more important than some weight loss. I would say that they do work, and I’ll be holding on to these pills for when I run out of money at the end of the month and need to save on food. This easily cut my food consumption into 1/4. Now being off the pills for a day has made me feel more relaxed (easier to sleep) and I almost forgot how much I eat. My word. I do not stop eating. Overall, 3 stars.
Pros: Ate less, exercised more, really felt like I was losing weight because I felt so weak
Cons: Little to no sleep even though you DO feel tired, lightheadedness and physical shaking from the weakness

I started Hydroxycut Max for Women about two and a half days ago and am already see results although its probably just water weight because I have yet to get into a thorough excersize routine. I stick to chicken, broccoli and fruit ona small portion basis or a light salad and have already dropped like 5-7 lbs. I started at around 177bs and right now weigh 168! I am going to continue and start to exercise and hopefully see more results! So excited.

After taking hyroxycut max for women for 3 days I simply could not put another pill in my mouth. Everytime I took one, about 20-30 minutes later I had horrible stomach cramps. The only way to ease the cramps was to EAT! They did give me some energy and make me feel full, but the pain was crazy! Anyone else have this problem? Or know why this may be happening. I really don’t want to waste my 25 dollars that I paid for these things and would like to take them, but not if they are going to cause the pain. HELP!
Editor’s comments: We don’t know why this is happening, but it’s a pretty good indicator that you should stop taking the product immediately. Try returning them to where you you bought them; you may not get anywhere, but you may get your money back. It may be worth a try.

So I just started hydroxycut max this morning. I have already taken a full bottle of regular hydroxycut and lost 5 lbs. So I’m hoping to at least double my results. I took regular hydroxycut a few years back with an acai berry supplement as well and lost about 20 lbs in 2 months roughly. So I’m trying the acai with hydroxycut max and hopefully it works the same as it did with the other. Also, I’m on a crash diet type thing. Does anyone know of an additional supplement I could be taking for additional apettite curbing?
Editor’s comments: Try a simple fiber supplement like glucomannan; it’s cheap and there’s some decent clinical evidence behind it. See this review for more details!

My partner noticed it right away.. during the night got up like 5 times as I have been drinking more water; so guess it worked like water pill… Woke up this morning with slite stomach discomfort but no real pain. I hope this works. I am going to lower my carbs and start exercising for 30 mins.in treadmill….I am 45 and I have about 50lbs to get rid off…I will see how it works for me….I never use any hydroxycout products before… I will share my progress….

I’ve been doing a low carb diet and lost 7lbs immediately, but then hit a plateau. I feel as though I have some metabolic issues. I started taking Hydroxycut, I take two capsules in the morning and that is it, and I have so much energy. More energy to exercise, and I lost 3lbs in the three days I have been taking it. My workout seems to be more effective and I have more energy to do the things I want to do. It has definitely started my scale to moving again as I was becoming discouraged with my way of eating.

I have been on a low carb diet for about a month and a half. I lost 13pds and hit a plateau. I don’t workout, even though I should but I don’t really have the time, much less the energy (I have an 18mos old, work fulltime, and I’m in school fulltime). I started taking hydroxycut max three days ago and have lost almost 2pds. The first day, just taking 1pill twice a day, I immediately noticed the increased energy. I am currently closing out day three with 2pills twice a day. I know it’s different for everyone, I still have plenty of energy, but this evening I had gotten a pretty bad headache, and still do have one. I just may need to keep my dose at 1 pill twice a day. No jitters, just the headache. I’m going to continue taking them to see if they help. So far so good. I have 25 lbs. to loose to hit my goal weight. Keep you posted.
