A miracle for me
I have dieted since I was a teenager. 20 + years. I maintained while on them, gained as soon as I gave up. In the past few years I gave up on hoping. Then I heard about this. I figured I had tried so many things, one more would not hurt. I was 385 lbs. I could barely move so exercise was out of the question. I got tired just walking acrossed the room.

Its been 18 weeks since I started this diet. I did cut way back on my calories. I have many times before. But this time it worked without me being hungry. The hydroycut helped with that like nothing I have tried before. I have energy when I take it too. I feel so giddy even. I call it my happy drug. I want to go places and do things instead of sit on the couch moaning about how I hurt.

At weeks into it I have lost 51 pounds. That is without any real exercise. I still live a very sedetary life. I just CAN move now. I can get off that couch without help! I can walk without pain! I have no trouble maintaining my 1600 calories a day diet now. In fact, I find it hard to get hungry enough to eat that much a lot of days.

I have not noticed headaches or bowel problems or any of that some mention here. I do once in awhile feel sick to my stomach. But I have discovered that happens when I eat things with butter or particularly fatty things after taking the hydroxycut. What this is done is taught me that I do not need so much butter on my popcorn. Which in turn stopped the sick feeling from happening.

I have dropped down from 385 to 334 pounds in 18 weeks! Thats this and diet. No exercise! Now that I am feeling better I can start that exercise. Imagine what my next 18 weeks could be like! I never dropped a single pound in my life. For that happy feeling alone this is a wonderful item.

I can however note that I got my father to try it to help with his diet. He got some chest pains from it. So decided it was not for him. I guess side effects must just very by the person. So its something to try. But may not be for everyone.

I hope it works for you like it did for me!

Good, if used properly.
I purchased this item to help me shed the remaining fat from my body and get myself to a healthy fighting shape. I am about halfway through the bottle right now and I'm down roughly 5 pounds, and look leaner than I ever have before. I do not take the maximum dosage, as that just seems excessive to me. 4 pills a day, rather than 6. It keeps my energy level up, and I seem to metabolize food a little better/faster. If you couple this product with an exercise routine consisting of both cardio and resistance training, you WILL see results faster than you thought.

While it does seem a little gimmicky at first sight, I can vouch for it, and would recommend it to those of you who can actually stick to a routine and not believe in some "miracle" pill. If you're taking it just because you think this product can end your woes of being overweight, think again. There's not a pill to cure laziness. This is merely a /supplement/, not an end all, be all!

It works . . . . if you let it. And other suggestions.
I tried Hyrdroxycut Hardcore during my last cutting phase and it worked. I started taking it when I was at 5% body fat and I cut down to about 3% after a month of working out and taking the supplement six days a week. Most importantly, I was on an every day low carb, high fat and protein diet that I feel allowed the Hydroxycut to work its magic. I did chisel out more than I ever have before but I'm sure that the Hydroxycut wouldn't have worked so well without the diet. I wouldn't expect it to work unless you are exercising and dieting correctly. Also, I couldn't imagine taking it daily for over a month because after a month, my body and mind had grown quite weary of the stimulation. I started to not feel the "rush" any longer. I have tried other thermogenics and Hydroxycut definitely didn't provoke the euphoric feeling that I have experienced with some. It was more of a jittery sensation with heightened senses instead of the calm, relaxed and mellow euphoria that I have enjoyed in the past with other caffeine based products. At times, when I was too hopped up on Hydroxycut, I would feel faint or weak during a workout, which is always disappointing. One aspect that some of you could enjoy is that this product drastically decreased my appetite. I could literally start to feel hungry, take a couple pills and suppress the urge for a few hours. So in conclusion, Hydroxycut works. It boosts energy, suppresses appetite, and allows you to burn more calories. However, you need exercise and a good diet plan for it to truly work. Also, be careful of the dosage and quit taking it when your body gets use to it. As with any diet - drink a ton of water, although I don't need to tell you that because your body will.

Pretty Disapointed
For all the positive things said about this product, it was a very huge let down. Before taking hydroxycut hardcore I usually went lifting for about a hour 3 days a week and would do sit ups/push ups every morning. After taking it I started running two miles along with what I normally did. The sad fact was that this pill did nothing for me. Maybe it gave me energy, I'm not sure. I followed the pill instructions exactly, ate reasonably, did a decent amount of work (I feel at least), and didn't lose a pound or notice toning in 3 weeks of usage so I'd look elsewhere for a better fat burner.

Not for everyone
I purchased this product for energy and fat burning. I had read a lot of good reviews that indicated few side effects with great results. The directions indicate that you are to take 3 pills twice daily. I do not like taking pills as it is so to take 6 a day is a pain. I started slowly as the directions state to work your way up to the recommended daily intake. I still experienced horrible nausea the entire time taking this product. I suffered through about 3 weeks and just could not take it any more.
