I'm an Asian female who has been taking hydroycut for a few days now. I only consume half the recommended dose, as I'm 5'5 and 140lbs.

I do not plan to build muscles, just tone my body and lose the fat. I take it before breakfast then I go workout in the afternoon.

I lift weights then do taebo in the evening. No jitters for me. I've noticed that i am awake the whole day after taking it and don't feel sleepy even if I go to bed late.

I started taking Hydroxycut Hardcore about a month ago. Since then I've been having trouble sleeping at night. I go to bed around midnight and probably don't fall asleep until 5 or 6 a.m.

I'm not sure if I should if I should start taking sleeping pills to get to sleep, but I'm concerned about how the two may interact. Otherwise it's seems to be doing its job... I've lost 15 lbs.

I almost went to the emergency room. My heart was racing out of control. I returned it and bought Slim Quick. Hopefully its not as strong. Hydroxycut was a bad experience.

I would first like to say that I been on this product for about 2 weeks now. I started off at 195 lbs and now weigh 178 lbs. following a hardcore workout routine and a strict diet. I'm running 2 miles a day and pumping iron.

I have no side effects like others here are getting -no jittery feeling or racing heart beat. I have a lot of energy! Great product! Recommended!

I would first off like to say I've been on this product for 5 days only and have already went from 190.2 on Monday to 182.3 now (friday). So in merely 5 days I've already shed near 8 pounds.

Editor's Note: It's likely the majority of this is water weight; the bathroom scales are not the best measure of your success as they do not measure body composition.

I am pumped but skeptical, I only wanted to take the 120 bottle pill until it ran out and then keep my workout regimen as is (running 5 days a week over 3 miles each time and lifting for an hour 2-3 days a week) and hopefully maintain the weight.

Now with the amount of weight I'm losing I think I will easily obtain my goal of 175 lbs. since the bottle should last 24 or so days.

So I ask any people who have started with the bottle and then maintained their exercise...

Were you able to keep the weight off?

If so I would say this is a remarkable product, and I have yet to be jittery!

I've tried this product in the past and definitely noticed the product doing it's job. Having a knowledge of the working mechanisms in the product and having experience in the supplement industry, reading 80 per cent of the above posts makes me roll my eyes.

My best advice for those wanting to avoid the "jitters" is this: don't take it on an empty stomach.

I got this product on Friday, it is now Tuesday and I want my money back. I've been sick every day since starting hydroxycut hardcore, and today I was throwing up about 15 minutes after taking it.

I fallowed the directions on the bottle, but it just makes me so sick. If thats how it makes people lose weight, by throwing everything up, then I'm not interested....

I am a active duty soldier in the U.S. Army, so I don't really have to mention that I have a fairly regular exercise program.

I have been taking Hydroxycut Hardcore for about two weeks now. I did experience the "jitters" for the first few days but then my body adjusted to the supplements.

As far as curbing my hunger, well it did that too. I can't tell if the irregular poo I've been having is because of hydroxycut or the MRE's lol.

I'm convinced though - it's expensive but I'm convinced.

The pills are great, you just need to drink a lot of water because you might get dehydrated - then the side effects come out!

So far I've lost 5lbs pounds in 18 days, and I'm feeling great!

I am on my fourth bottle already. It was so helpful in the beginning and right now my body has gotten used to it.

I was 138 and right now I am 118 at 5"2 and half. I want to stop taking it but I am scared if I will gain it back.

I go to the gym to pump iron 5 to 6 times a week and I run every morning for 10 to 20 minutes. I eat very healthy between 4 and 5 meals a day. Will I gain if I stop using the product?

Editor's Comments: Lisa, it looks like you are doing all the right things. As long as you don't over-consume calories and continue to exercise and eat healthy, there's no reason why you should gain it all back. Regardless, it won't happen overnight, so if you find yourself gaining a bit, cut back on the calories a little.

For most of my life I have been on an uphill battle with my weight. I have tried going to dieticians and embarked on several diets along with exercise and nothing worked.

Two weeks ago I decided to try hydroxycut hardcore. This, along with a diet of 500 calories less than what I normally eat, and two protein shakes a day (and exercise of course).

So far I have lost 6 lbs and 2 inches from my bust (this may sound undesirable to others but it is a blessing for me).

I love the extra energy it gives me when I am exercising and helps me to push myself to work out longer. I make sure to follow the dosage correctly and take multi-vitamins since I am eating less.

I have not experienced any jitters or anxiety like others but they may because my body can handle the amount of caffeine (if you drink a lot of caffeinated drinks you might wanna stop - the website encourages users to not take other things that have caffwine in it, sorry coffee lovers).

I also have not had any "red stool" as some have claimed.

I started taking Hydroxycut hardcore about a month ago, and noticed a great increase in energy, no jitters - just an extra push in the right direction.

Unfortunately in the same month, I had some really bad chest pains out of nowhere (that no doctor could explain); they lasted me two days straight and then I missed my period, which was even more upsetting!

So far I've been tested, and it doesn't appear that I'm pregnant, but I don't like anything messing with my body like that.

I'm really disappointed because I think it was going to be just what I needed to workout harder at the gym. Now I'm too scared to keep taking it!

I've been taking the product since April 2008 and to this day i have lost a total of 30 pounds. I was thinking I would lose more.

These pills however do have horrible side effects, starting the first couple of days you start taking them. Once you start taking 6 a day is when you really start feeling those side effects. But other than that, it has helped a lot and I have lost A LOT of weight from this product.

I'm on my 2nd week. I have noticed more energy. It seems to help make you use the bathroom more regular so I don't need any more fiber supplements. So far so good!

I was very skeptical before purchasing hydroxycut. I was very much over weight, and needed something fast. I worked out regularly and ate well. Taking in the amount indicated on the bottle worked for me.

I had no side affects whatsoever. Its been a month and a half and I have officially reached my goal. My weight is back to its original amount.

I am very scared that if I stop using hydroxycut I'll gain all the weight back. Keep in mind I work-out 4 days a week and eat 4 healthy meals a day.

I've heard from other reviews that a lot of customers reached their goals, stopped using hydroxycut and gained it all back. I'm also very worried about my blood pressure. I'm going to make a appointment with my doctor very soon.

I took hydroxycut for a week, I've always been an athletic person, during the time I took this product I was going to the gym about 3 times a week and doing other sports in between days.

My diet is low fat, low calorie, high protein was eating about 3-4 times a day healthy stuff - being doing this for a while so I know what healthy food is - also I was not really what most people call fat - I was 174 just wanted to drop a few more more pounds to be down to 165-168 and get back to my optimum weight when I used to surf. I'm 5'8.

I was doing fine with these pills the first days of the recommended dosage until I upped the dosage to 2 pills a day 2X. The first day I noticed muscles in my shoulders started twitching - which means either I wasn't resting enough or my body wasn't liking the amount of caffeine I was taking.

The second day was the worst. The second time i took the pills around 3pm - I was at my desk at work and all of a sudden I just felt like everything was going in slow motion - just like If I was high on some drug - of course I panicked.

I started noticing that my heart was going faster than usual yet my breathing was normal. I could not concentrate I felt like I lost all focus - then I got really anxious I was sure I was going to have a heart attack so I told my co-workers that i wasn't feeling good and to keep an eye on me in case I fainted.

I just started to sipping a bunch of water and my protein shake and some food but the effects where still there. These lasted until night - eventually they wore off but I felt like I couldn't focus completely - I will mention that I waited 45 minutes before I ate when I took the pills and I was also taking some multivitamins so maybe that's what intensified the effect. At night I could have sworn that I wasn't going to wake up in the morning.

The next day I had really bad headaches and hot flashes. I read about the symptons and it seemed as caffeine withdrawal - so 2 days after I woke up with a headache so I took only 1 pill - shazam!! Headache was gone!

I took one yesterday and I noticed that I started getting that high effect a few seconds before I took the pill which leads me to believe that I'm just super paranoid and anxious about this product.

I also noticed if I'm up and doing stuff the effects are less noticeable than if I am at my desk concentrated trying to work. Another thing I'm going to add was that I was drinking boatloads of water.

I don't know if this product is for everyone. After reading so many good things about it I tried it and decided that my body is telling me no just do it the natural way.

I don't like the anxiousness that I feel when I take it. I don't like that for some reason I feel high when I take it. I don't like that - like the last user said - feeling fluttering in your chest or different muscles. One more thing to mention I have an irregular heart beat which my physicians and doctors have told me its normal.

I took hydroxycut for about two weeks, the entire time I was counting calories and doing taebo 2 hours daily.

The first day I took hydroxycut I felt extremely full, after eating half a sandwich I felt bloated and stuffed. I had to use the bathroom soon after- so I figured it would constantly decrease my appetite and increase my bowel movements.

Half way through the day, I felt like I had drank a few cups of coffee, sort of a little antsy, and a tiny bit of a flutter in my chest, like nerves or something. By the time I went to bed, I thought I was having a panic attack or going to die... seriously.

My heart was racing, like just jittery and I couldn't control my breathing rate. Normal respiratory rate is 20, mine was 35. If I put my hand on my heart, I could feel the flutter. I was just so nervous.

I've had panic attacks, years before , but this was nothing like it. My hands were shaky, I was nervous, and I couldn't control my thoughts. The only way I got through that night was by begging my friend to stay up and talk to me the entire time. Having a conversation kept me from relaxing and noticing how shaky and how loud my heart was pounding. But once we'd stop talking, I would notice my nerves.

Imagine trying to take a sip of water from a glass, but you keep shaking it. Now try to take a breath of air, but you keep shaking - and you just can't seem to breathe properly, you either take in to much at once, or too little. That is how I felt on hydroxycut.

Truthfully I kept using it for one or two more days, thinking it was just the initial effect.

Eventually, I could only handle one pill a day, not the daily 6 recommended pills. Having one pill a day was useless for me, so I stopped taking it.

I hope you put this review up, or someone else's that is similar, people need to know how strong the side effects of hydroxycut are. It is a definite common complaint among other users.

I have started using this product a week ago. I lift heavy for around 40 mins and hit the treadmill for around 20 mins in the evening. I am also using Optimum Nutrition's Whey Gold.

I haven't experienced any ill-effects (not even jitters) till now although I have been taking the full dosage since day one. (One reason I can think of is that I used to have a lot of black coffee before this so maybe my body is used to stimulants).

As far as results go, I haven't started seeing anything as of yet, except maybe a bit more tightness around the chest area. (a problem area for me). Also my appetite has reduced somewhat.

I tried Hydroxycut Hardcore and yeah I dropped some pounds pretty quick actually. Following a good solid workout program really helps in any supplementation and now that I am about to go to the cross-fit program, I'll bet the combination of Hydroxycut Hardcore and extreme strength conditioning will really help me surpass my intended goal of 200!

I start in one day! As a fitness specialist I know that most folks claim failure, and think only the pill works. You have to work hard to achieve your goals in anything you do. I work with a lot of people who used supplementation without proper education.

I just recently went on Hydroxycut Hardcore to help lose some added weight from college and trim down. After only being on the product 9 days now I am already seeing its positive effects.

First off my energy has spiked without even having a cup of coffee in the morning. My drive to get to the gym and work out has gone through the roof, I have not missed a day at the gym since I took these pills.

Most notably is the fact that I have a very small appetite now. It is so easy for me to follow a really low calorie diet and stay away from the sweets with this product.

Take this product with a good multivitamin, drink at least 80 oz. (10 cups of water) a day and exercise around 30 minutes and you will see the results.

Like I said I am only 9 days into the product but I have probably dropped 5 lbs already. People are commenting about how my face looks thinner, the whole nine yards! IT WORKS!

Hydroxycut WORKS! I saw my abs become more and more defined each week. Which is what I needed because of my upcoming bodybuilding show. With a little hard work EVERYONE can and will see results!

I've been using hydroxcut hardcore for about 2 weeks now, I work out a lot, I just need to lose 10 lbs though.

I do pilates, spinning, hardcore cross training but some how this pills are stuck on my system, not seen the results yet... how long should I wait?

Editor's Comments: Please see this blog post to learn how to properly assess success (or failure) with any diet or fat burner.

I noticed by reading everyone else's comments that they all got jittery and sick and I think that is probably because they took too much too soon.

When I bought my hydroxycut hardcore the lady told me to start out only taking one a day to give my body a chance to get used to it, then after one week increase to 2 times a day, then after 2 weeks 3 a day and then stop at that.

This worked great for me, I lost weight and never got any bad side affects.

I have tried several other diet pills,(Lipo 6, Jet Fuel, Ripped Fuel,a nd even the original Hydroxycut twice) and nothing has shown me results like Hydroxycut Hardcore.

I have been on it for only 3 weeks and have lost 14 lbs of fat. I think I gained some muscle mass so the weight itself wasn't as much as it could've been.

But I am in the oilfield here in Texas. And when I left town 2 weeks ago to stay on location, I got in my head what I needed to do to stay focused.

I ate the right food, no junk food; drank ALL water, and only worked out for maybe an hour to an hour and a half at night.

I didn't even work out a couple of nights. And 13 days later I get home and EVERYONE that saw me paid me compliments. Not only did it make me feel good, but it also gave me a reason to continue the product.

I started at 256Lbs and now at 242.5. I haven't had any side effects, so I guess I'm just lucky. Maybe what they need on here is picture testimonials, just so people with results can compare.

So, drink all water, no junk food, and just do the right workouts with cardio. Yes it takes sacrifices, but until they invent the "miracle" pill that just takes the weight off, you will have to sacrifice. Talk to y'all soon.

At about the age of 17 I started using these pills out of curiosity to see if they had worked, including Hydroxycut Hardcore.

When I first started using it I got the jitters and shakes for about 10 min because I took 3 pills at once. After about 10 min I started to feel a burning sensation in my body. I guess you could say a thermogenic experience.

So with my use of hydroxycut it basically suppressed my appetite, made me sweat a lot more, and kept me alert, but it was hard to wind down and fall asleep sometimes.

It also makes you use the bathroom a lot. Would not recommend to people who do not exercise regularly or are very unhealthy because it seems like the product would cause more harm then good.

Hydroxycut Hardcore is amazing!

Let me just say that pre-product I weighed 224lbs. I started taking Hydroxycut on April 6th, and within a week I had already lost 7 pounds. I am now 217 and I feel great.

I did however combine the product with GNC Lean Shake. I also eat every 3 hours to keep my Metabolism up, I exercise 4 days out of the week, and I don't eat after 8pm.

It's been great!

My goal weight is 130lbs and I truly believe that I will achieve my goal by my birthday in 3 months!

Editor's comments: It's likely Kellee's results are tied to the combination of smart diet, exercise, not eating after 8, and Hydroxycut Hardcore.

I tried it for three months, and I found it to be more of an energy booster rather than a fat burner. Over the three months, I lost 12 pounds. I cycled off it for six weeks and tried it again, but no results. I did not lose any weight, and during the Hydroxycut phases, I ate a low calorie diet, ran, and participated in weightlifting. I think it slightly worked the first time, but I think my body was used to the pill on my later attempts.

I have had great results with this product. It's not a miracle drug though. You have to stick to a diet plan or better yet, change the way you eat and have a regular workout plan. I'm a runner so this definitely helped me out. I found that I was able to last longer on my runs.

I did have the same side affects with the "red" stuff but I've never been in the habit of checking that stuff out so it didn't really bother me.

I started out using 1 pill 2x day. After a week I moved up to the next level according to the chart on the bottle. It gave me the jitters and made my heart race. That chart is there for a reason. It's to help you find your tolerance level. Mine was the first level and that's what I ended up sticking with.

It's a great product and very effective if used properly. It's obviously not going to have the same effect on everyone, so don't expect miracles. You get out of it what you put into it.

I have been on the product for about a week now. I do like the kick from it and I am seeing more of my abs then I have in a while.

I am concerned though because I had some blood work done (coincidence) after using Hydroxycut Hardcore for 4 days and I had a very elevated AST level. This sent up red flags to my doctor who asked me to come back in a month to have a retest. I told her that I was taking HH and her reaction was like - "Oh OK that sounds about right then."

It still concerns me. High levels of AST are a sign of liver damage. I have no proof that this is caused by the HH but I have never had elevated levels of AST in the past.

I am in the process of finding out more about this. Oh, and I agree with the people who claim that you will be using the bathroom more. I'm glad to hear that it isn't just me. My initial reaction to using the product was like "I guess I am going to crap out the weight".

I have been using hydroxycut hardcore for 2 weeks and I love it. I have lost 9 lbs. I have energy to keep up with my 2 yr old son.

It doesn't give me too much energy -- its just the right amount. I would recommend this product if you need to lose 10 or more pounds. If you want to lose faster -- watch what you eat, exercise and take the pills like you are supposed to!

I'm a 25 yr. old female, and my husband swears by this product. However, I noticed his lack of patience and his irritability, and even frequent anxiety.

I thought I'd be brave and try it, and I too was irritable. I tried to work out in the mornings, but I noticed my heart beating so fast I wasn't able to perform as usual. So I stopped. I'd rather be in my normal frame of mind.

Oh people -- just so you know...

I checked with a Licensed Physician and if you have Discolored Stool, no need to worry.

Any shade of red, or purple is fine its just the color in the pill.

BUT if you have solid dark black stools, you may want to be concerned as this can indicate internal bleeding.

I have used Hydroxycut for 2 months now as a test. It is part of my personal research. I'm currently in college taking Police Foundations, it's my first year.

Through my learning in physical health and through research I have found that losing weight just in the mid-section of ones body is impossible. There is no such result from spot training (meaning you cannot just work out your abs and only lose weight in the stomach) there are few people in the world who can do this. (around 3%).

Hydroxycut only gives the body a stimulation of high caffeine.

There is only one solution to losing weight that I have learned and it's not taking supplements.

20 minute exercise per day will give a 100% better result than taking Hydroxycut for a 3 month period. And your workout doesn't have to be "UFC intense." About 50 sit ups, 40 push ups and a little jog should do it. Oh and cutting back on chips, chocolate, and soft drinks help a ton.

The reason people will see an "effect" from Hydroxycut is that they do not eat or they start eating healthy or they start working out to "increase the effects".

Trust me, this is the biggest waste of money and time. Get on the floor and get some sweat on you.

Hi, I am a 36 yr old female and a deputy sheriff, staying fit is a priority.

I have switched from the Hydroxycut Hardcore to the Hydroxycut Max and I couldn't be more satisfied with it. It is a great tool for giving you the "Oomph" you need to get your workout started AND helps you maintain that energy level throughout your workout.

As far as a miracle pill... it's not. You have to combine a sensible workout with it. However, it does in fact curb your appetite. The down side is you have to be careful. I find with this product, you tend to lose your appetite completely for hours.

Other than that, I've lost weight and gained muscle, I couldn't be happier with this product and God knows, I've tried them all!

I used this product for close to a year. I didn't take the recommended amount all at once, but rather gradually worked my way up to 1 pill every 4 hours (4 a day).

I followed a decent low calorie diet, exercised randomly and lost 50lbs. I was very happy with the product and my weight loss until Oct when I had a stroke.

I am 43 years old and in good shape. They couldn't find anything physically wrong with me to justify what happened so the doctors attributed it to the product.

According to their statistics, lot of women are having strokes at a young age from taking this type of diet product. I did have some warning signs a day or two before that I wish I hadn't ignored, but it is what it is, right.

Just be careful and listen to your body. If something doesn't feel right, then don't do it or take it.

I have been using Hydroxycut Hardcore for about three months now and the results are close to what I expected. My beginning weight was 245lbs and I am currently trying to reach 175lbs to join the military.

My current weight is 200lbs and along with Hardcore I have stayed working out and a reasonable diet. (Yes, sometimes I do cheat on the weekends).

When using the product, I try not to use the maximum amount that is listed on the bottle. I heard about the jitters, nervousness and did not want to deal with that.

So after some calculations I only use two pills at a time and after my second dose, I take a muti-vitamin with food to control all my nutrients. This helps me take a nice smooth pace into the day and still feel the effects of the dosage.

I have been using it for a few weeks and have been seeing a decrease in the 'fat rolls' or the stomach. I lost a couple of pounds the first week. At the start of the second, I also got on the protein shakes from the same company. So, I am putting the weight back on but in the form of muscle. I work out 6 days a week.

As far as side effects, if you follow the directions, it will be best for you body. I really didn't have any side effects. I will say this, I have been in a little bit better mood.

Eat right, work out, and just do something with your body. Don't take it with the mind set that you don't have to do any else but take it and lose weight.

The biggest thing that I have had to work on while taking the product, is myself. Learning how to use self control, eat right and do something about how I was looking.

With me initial symptoms were nausea, a little dizziness, and yes, the red poop and gas. These went away after a few days (except for the red poop and gas). I only take it twice a day as opposed to three and with plenty of water. I never take it on an empty stomach or more than 15 minutes before eating.

Now that I am adjusted it gives me more energy for my workouts. The increased energy during workouts is what I believe contributes more to my weight loss than any ingredient in the supplement.

It has definitely helped me lose weight and improve my muscle definition. However, I would only recommend it to those that are on a regular diet AND exercise plan.

And more important is the fact that I told my doctor and at my regular checkups he does blood work to make sure all is well.

I have used the product for one month. I only took 3 pills every morning not the full dose.

Combined with weight training and running 2 miles per day I lost 22 pounds in 4 weeks.

I think it is a great product I just think half the people that take it sit on the couch. You can't expect to see results without changing your lifestyle.

I've been using Hydroxycut hardcore for a little while and I've read a lot of the reviews on this and I came to the following conclusion.

It is a great product, as long as you do the right thing. First of all - exersice. Don't go crazy on the exersice, all you need to do is to sweat -- running, bycicling and things like that. Believe me, you will sweat.

It freaks youm out if you over do it with the doses so for the first few days you really need to find out what your dose is. I was fine with the two pills a day but I had to get used to it for longer in order to take the 4 per day. I heard some people had to start with just one pill a day.

Not every product is perfect but you can make it work just right by keeping your self healthy.... and please dont eat anything tht has to do with bread after 5pm.

End results: Really, I don't weight myself... I look at myself in the mirror. I have a full six pack, my muscles are visibles but not annoyingly gross.

I lost a bunch of FAT... seriously.... and that is because I ate healthy, exercised healthy, kept my meals just right and kept myself to the right dose of Hydroxycut.

You have 4 bottles of Hydroxycut left? You can send them to me -- seriously!

I used Lipo 6x for 3 months and then switched to Hydroxycut as I did have any noticable results except that I had had felt a pump while working out.

After switching to Hydroxycut Hardcore for three months I have seen the results I wanted.

I had an upset stomach in the beginning and also loose stools but not anymore. I have been working out regularly at least 2 days a week just focusing on 1 body part and following a healthy diet plan.

It worked for me ... I can now see my definition of my 6 pack also. At 39 years having a distended midsection and stubborn visceral fat, I had lost hope of seeing my midsection. This stuff really works, but you have to be committed to having a healthy diet and exercise.

I used hydroxycut hardcore for a year and a half (off and on, totally maybe 9 months). The first 2 months it was a miracle -- I lost 10 lbs without excercise. By the 4th month I had lost 20 lbs! (I was 6", 202 lbs--> 182 ). Wow!

But after that I saw no change, I hit a plateau. I'm waiting for more miracles, but after that first initial period, I just experienced just side effects (hot body, hot/dry mouth/throat, heart racing, extreme anxiety, insomnia).

These were killing me, so I stopped taking it --still have 4 big bottles of it left!

I just started taking hydroxycut hardcore about a week ago and I can't belive how much it has cut my appetite. I have already lost a few lbs. without working out -- this is money well spent!

I've been working out and taking Hydroxycut Hardcore for the past four days. I'm 5'5 and 150lbs - The only thing I've notice thus far is feeling fuzzy headed, slight nausea, moodiness, and strange to say -- TIRED?

My boyfriend has noticed that I've been tired only a few hours after taking this 2 pills. When I first started taking the one pill dose I felt as though I had a LOT of energy.

I weighed myself after only a few days thinking perhaps I will see at least ONE POUND or something gone.

Nope! Nothing yet. I will continue to endure the crappy side effect for another week, and if I haven't lost any weight by then, I'm taking it back. This stuff is expensive and so not worth the money.

I exercise, eat right and have for the past few months been drinking tons of water!

If anyone has any other suggestions, please e-mail me at frtunekookies79@yahoo.com Thanks :)

Hydroxycut works for me, but as many of you out there I notice a increase in my heart rate when working out when I upped my dosage to 2 pills twice a day. I cut the dosage to 1 pill twice a day, and usually 1 before my work out and it has worked like a charm since then. 12 lbs lost with a diet that involves not stuffing myself up food and drinking large amounts of water. I recommend this products to those who want to lose the body fat, but you have to work yourself hard in order to see results. I also combine this hydroxycut with muscle milk and a whole body cleanse to get rid of the unwanted things in your digestive system.

I have some good and bad feedback regarding this product. I originally started taking this product about 7 months ago. I changed my diet and began exercising. I followed the recommended dosing to a T.

The only thing that happened was anxiety, disturbed sleep patterns (no matter what time of day I took them), and jitters like crazy. I literally had to leave work one day because I felt so much tension and anxiety. I felt as if my heart was going to explode, yet I was going in slow motion! Needless to say, the scale NEVER moved (about 3 weeks to a months use) and it seemed as if the weight increased, and so I stopped using them and gave up on my weight loss altogether.

About a month ago I decided to REALLY go for my goals. I started the South Beach Diet and began working out 5-6 days a week (cardio and weight training). I have lost about 5-6 lbs, but more importantly, inches in this time. Initially, I just did the diet and exercise, but about a week and a half into it, I started taking just 1 pill of H.Hardcore right before my workout and got great energy results!

I now take 2 pills before my workout and I can EASILY do an hour of Cardio and still have tons of energy to get my strength training in, as well!

Will I ever follow it as recommended? NO! It's too strong for me, I guess, and achieved no results doing so. I do, however, LOVE IT as a pre-workout supplement to give me that boost! I know slow and steady wins the race, and I'm fine with losing weight the healthy way.

I have about a weeks worth of pills of the H.Hardcore left, and at that point will be getting the Lean System 7. If the only result I get from that product is the energy boost, I'll still be a happy camper. But I have a better feeling going into that one! Will be back to post my results regarding LS7!

I fell into the hype and used the product. I noticed some results but nothing miraculous.

My main issue with this product is its high doses of caffeine. My sleep patterns messed up my life style so bad that I had to stop taking the product. As soon as I stopped I went through severe caffeine withdrawal.

Be aware, this product is basically like drinking massive amounts of coffee. You'll burn fat, but there are some side effects.

After using Hydroxycut Hardcore for about two weeks I can say it is not for me. It is a great supplement but due to its side effects of anxiety, which I think was caused due to the equal amount of caffeine in one serving of the supplement to that in about 3 cups of coffee.

This is a great amount of caffeine esecially if you take two servings of the supplement (this is about 750mg of caffeine in a day). My body then developed a caffeine dependency. When not on the supplement I had a tremendous amount of anxiety. The side effects were: not being able to concentrate, nervousness, and irratibility.

The supplement did suppress my appetite and was great if you take it before a workout, but the negative effects was not worth the benefits.

However, I will be turning to the Hydroxycut product with no caffeine.

Hydroxycut Hardcore is not a miracle pill in any respect. It is a thermogenic that helps the body burn fat and increase energy for training. I am a 21 year old track runner, and i need to cut down after I bulked up for sprinting.

The bottom line is this pill does work, moreover if you don't workout or eat right don't expect to shed the pounds. This product has a huge amount of caffeine, so if you are sensative to caffeine be cautious of the dosage.

Hydroxycut Hardcore is a great product, if you stick with the training you will see the results.
