Hydroxycut Worth it?

austrianblitz · 03-11-2008, 03:57 AM

hi dungeon peeps, first time on this forum dunno if it's been posdted before but,.ever since ephedra (sp?) has been removed from HH, is it still considered an effective fat burner? Anyone experience good results while using it?

Welcome to the forum bro!!
I personally dont think its worth it.Its way overpriced.It has some effectiveness but you can get the same thing alot cheaper.

Gave me terrible anxiety...better options for a better price as Kaboom has said, ie - levi, Venom 3.0, etc

I use animal cuts, I have hydroxycut as well. Cuts is a better fat burner but hydroxycut is a better appetite reducer.

GO with Atrophex by bsn. I think anythign muscletech sucks. I took hydroxycut hardcore for a while and it did ntohing. I lost weight but thats becasue i was eating less carbs and doing cardio

anthk · 03-11-2008, 11:27 PM

with weight loss supplements i am a firm believer that it only amplifies your input. i stacked mx ls7 with allmax rapid cuts and i didnt really see any results but again my cardio was near to none. lmao but when i do cardio i dont take anything and when i take it i don't perform any cardio..always happens.

for your question ephadrine i believe does work if you complete it with caffeine and asprin but i didn't feel a 100% after 2 weeks on consuming an ECA stack, it did help me trim a but. The more cardio the more u'll burn obviously.

As much as I hate MuscleTech, Hydroxicut works.

LiLRedRock · 03-12-2008, 01:03 AM

Man for me Hydroxycut wasn't nearly worth the money. Astrophex didn't give me a the results I'd hoped for either. Right now I'm using Stimerex that has some ephedra extract in it (its not banned) and its working quit well! A little cheaper than muscletech and BSN. I'd lost about 20lbs in a month and a half, so its doin pretty good considerin I wasn't counting on losin that much til about month 3, but you should try to get something you system can tolerate so your not all jittery and kinda cracked out. You'll feel like that on Stimerex for a few days then it goes away, or atleast thats how it worked for me.

I never heard a good opinion about any of the museltech products exepct of the Nano V-apor. Anyway I have 2 friends that use that products and were totaly dissapointed....In thier words "It didnt do ****...It's Crap!" Tow of them used Lipo6 and were satisfied with the resaults!
Animal Cuts as BigPoppaSnake said is also better than hydrocrap works faster and from my own experience gives very fast resaults!

Good Luck

i've used hydroxy cut, and the "hardcore" version it had no results i was lookin for.

LiLRedRock · 03-12-2008, 04:01 PM

Welcome to the Dungeon!

Well the results of a fat burner really depend on how balanced your diet, cardio and training are. No fat burner will acquire the results you want without these. I personally feel you can gain the same results without a fat incinerator. These supplements generally contain ingredients to speed up your metabolic rate. Which can be done naturally: eating efficiently 6-8 times a day.

There are other products on the market that fit the same purpose and aren't a ****load of money. So, I think it's a waist of money.

Any results obtained from this are not worth the money.

johnnyO · 03-12-2008, 04:26 PM

You can still buy Ma Huang and if you stack it with asprin and caffeine you will get a better affect than from the products available with out affedra.
Just don't over do it on the Ma Huang. (only the recommended amount)

johnnyO · 03-12-2008, 04:27 PM

One more thing. NOTHING works as well as good ole cardio and clean diet.

Bryan_Collier · 03-12-2008, 06:22 PM

If Hydroxicut Hardcore doesn't work, then why did I lose 10lbs in 2 weeks? Of course my diet and cardio greatly contributed to it, but the supplement did work.

couple of reasons why you COULD lose 10lbs in 2 weeks:

1) Your a noob ( not jumping to conclusions but a possibility )

2) Your severely overweight

3) You lost a ton of muscle and look worse than you did before ( rather be a fat kid than a skinny fat kid with zero muscle )

4) You were on the V-diet and used it as an appetite suppressent ( there are better choices out there )

..Im sure there are other reasons but I just cant think of it right now

ffbulldog · 03-12-2008, 10:18 PM

i took hydroxycut hardcore awhile back and really screwed up my stomache idk why but aside from severe abd pain i saw no dif in my metobolic. THG suggested Cytolean. thats what ill try next

1. I'm FAR from a noob, I promise you that.

2. 12% BF

3. Didn't lose much muscle mass at all, if any, nor am I a skinny kid with zero muscle. I'm 6'5, 216.4lbs.

4. I was on a damn solid diet and trained hard with cardio.

The reason I took the Hydroxicut was because I was trimming down for my RCMP physical test, and my friend had the bottle at his house with no intentions on using it. I'm highly sensitive to fat burners and stimulants, therefore I could not take the recommended 3 pill servings. I had to take two pill servings and I still got jittery.

Again I wasnt calling you a noob ( I have no clue who you are to make assumptions ) but I do not believe that you were at 12% or 15% BF for that that matter on a normal diet ( AD/CKD/40-40-20/etc ) and dropped 10lbs in 2 weeks and didnt lose muscle.

Doesnt happen unless you were holding an insane amount of water or you changed diets and depleted yourself from CHOs

I've taken hydroxycut and it blows, gave me anxiety and headache but not much more.
