I usually use the Ripped Fuel, which is a great product, but I heard such raves about this one that I had to give it a try. after one month of using it, this is what I experienced. Abnormal Bowl movement. Restless sleep some good physical results i.e 1 inch off my waist Dehydration and mild stomach cramps. so all in all, the product was just not working the way I wanted it to for me, so I'll stick to ripped fuel, just because I've had awesome results with that. But I know it has worked for others and they have had some great results. ( Reply )

I have attempted to lose weight and tone up the normal way by working out without any supplements for a couple of years, but I never could discipline myself to hit the gym regularly and consistently. I realized that my problem was in not seeing results. It seemed pointless for me to workout hard, 2x a week and not see the results I wanted. Then, I thought about taking a dietary supplement that would stimulate a desire to workout and would enhance my workout so that I could see results quickly. After much research among the many brands of supplemtents and workout enhancers, I came across Hydroxycut Hardcore. What really appealed to me was that body builders used this to lean down and tone up quickly. I purchased the item and on the very first day I noticed a complete difference in my metabolism and way of eating. I was excited because I could feel my body kick into overdrive. I decided to try it out in a workout, and let me tell you that I had never sweated that much in my whole life in such a short amount of time. The thermogenesis was definetely there. And the best part, I was so motivated to continue, that I quickly began to enjoy going to the gym. Plus, I began to see results within the first week!! That motivated me even more to continue the program. It has now been a month since I began to take these capsules, and I look completely different! My body actually is beginning to tone up and I have bought a new wardrobe to show off my body. It feels so good to walk around with a tight muscle shirt and not have to suck in your stomach and hide your love handles. My whole lifestyle has changed. My eating habits are different and it actually feels good to eat healthy foods!! I never thought that I would be so into fitness, but I guess when you look into a mirror and you see muscles on your body getting toned, it encounrages you to continue and fully develop them. These pills definetely helped meet my goals!! One thing worth mentioning is that the dose progressively increases and may be too much for some people. I had problems when my heart rate increased when I took 3 capsules at a time, 2x daily (max recommended doseage). I went back to 2 capsules a day, 2x daily and I have felt great. The good thing about Hydroxycut is that you can lower the dosage if you cannot handle the indicated dosage and still see results! This is no miracle drug. It is simply a capsule that assists you if you assist yourself into becoming healthier. ( Reply )

I do not review products very often, but I have to say that this one has made a HUGE difference in my life. I started taking HCH [Hydroxycut Hardcore] in April. I was 125 lbs, 5'1". I lost 19 lbs by July, and I look and feel like freshman year in highschool plus some breasts and hips. HCH enabled me to eat only when I was hungry, give me energy and results at the gym, and feel better about eating when I did. If things hadn't gotten so busy, I would probably have defined abs by now due to the dedication I put into working out. I hate admitting that I used a supplement, but I have never been so excited to hit the beach this summer. This product is worth the money if you have the persistence. ( Reply )

This works okay but it really will keep you awake if you take any after 5:00pm. I found that the original worked just as well if not better for me, and I had no insommina issues. ( Reply )

I tried this product about two months ago and so far have lost almost 15 pounds. I have portion control issues and this product helps A LOT. The only problem I have with it is it makes you feel tingly an hour to two hours after taking the pills. Like you just drank a venti cup of coffee really fast. Drinking lots of water helps. I also want to point out that I go to the gym two to three times a week and can see results with the help of this product. I used to go more and could barely see results, now I am down three notches on my belt. :-) ( Reply )

for the sake of your own health and life, do not take the full serving of this product if you are sensitive to things like this.....the odd thing is, is that it did NOT give me energy but it still gave me really bad shortness of breath and high blood pressure all symptoms ceased to exist once i discontinued use of this product....if you are using this to lose weight, you need to rethink why you are trying to lose weight....for looks...or for your health....for me it's a bit of both reasons, and i think it is for most...but just keep in mind that health is far more important than your appearance...keep working towards your goals and you will achieve them...but not if you have a stroke half way there taking this junk ( Reply )

I just thought I'd put my 2 cents in. I got this product based on the recommendation of one of the GNC store owners. The guy seemed pretty knowledgeable, so I decided to try it. At first, I just tried taking 1 or 2 pills at a time in the morning on my workout days. I did that for a few weeks and didn't see any change. After a while, I decided to take the 3 + 3 schedule and once I did that, I started noticing larger weight losses. The problem is it gives me an upset stomach sometimes. Also, if I take it on days when I eat light, I don't have the energy to workout. My only guess is that I'm burning up all my calories, so thats why I don't have any energy by the time I get to the gym. I don't use it regularly anymore. I just use it when I need an extra boost if my losses are leveling out or on days when I have more than normal to eat(around Christmas and Thanksgiving). The product definately works, but use it cautiously. People probably react differently to this product, so see what works for you. ( Reply )

I expected this product to give me great energy and burn some fat. I took it pre-workout to help with the weights. The first time I took it...I took two. About fourty-five minutes later I felt an enormous rush of energy. Unfortunately, about twenty minutes into my workout I experienced one of the absolute worst energy crashes I'd ever experienced. It was like I had been on an adrenaline rush that decided to let me go. I didn't finish my workout. I continued to take them hoping my system would adjust. Nope. Big energy, Bigger crash. Obviously, you're not going to burn a lot of fat if you can't make it through your workout. I wasn't too impressed. ( Reply )

This product really work, but i had some issues, like pain in the chest and unorganized heart beats, those things are listed on the bottle back, so they are known issues, i used it for one week, and it gave good results, but i couldn't proceed with using it because i didnt want to have any complications, the reason im giving it 3 stars is to be fair, it works but its not for everyone and this is the bad part and there is no way to know except try it yourself, but if you were wondering if it works or not,it works, but bear in mind, that this is not a permission for you to go and eat whatever you want, IT IS A DIETARY SUPPLEMENT.

(FYI- I Posted this review under my wifes account)I took this product for 3 weeks with no results at all! I didnt even lose a single pound. I workout almost every day. Im in ok shape trying to lose 20 lbs. I am just over 6' and weigh 210 and im a 25yr old male. Anyway. It doesnt even curve my appetite. The Hydroxycut regular weightloss pills work much better at curving my appetite then the Hardcore pills. Im not impressed at all with this product. Next im trying the Lipo6x pills. ( Reply )

I have used this stuff for awhile now and I really feel it works. I know that everyone's body is different and mine seems to work well with this product. My appitite goes down energy goes up and my workout seem more productive. I can understand the headache issue because I got them when ever my water intake lowered. As soon as I began to drink more water the headaches went away. The only thing I would warn people is that you do really need to begin taking one pill and working up to the three... I'm pretty sure my heart would have torn out of my chest had I taken all three when I began. Good luck and rememeber it's not for everyone. ( Reply )

I recommend this product, and here's my experience: I have been dieting and exercising since January, and have been losing 6-7lbs a month. Keeping up with the same exact diet and exercise routine, and the ONLY change being taking hydroxycut hardcore, I have lost 10-11 lbs each of the last two months. Due to my adherence to a strict, consistent diet, It is MY experience that hydroxycut hardcore has helped me lose 50% more weight than diet and exercise alone. At the cheaper price available on Amazon.com, I would recommend anybody struggling with weight loss or looking for a weight-loss accelerator, to try it. Obviously the healthiest way to lose weight is with diet and exercise alone, but I have been struggling with my weight at college and wanted to shape-up for a cruise I am going on this summer. I started taking 1 pill 2x a day, then 2 pills 2x a day, and then 3 pills 2x a day as directed on the bottle. I take them first thing in the morning with breakfast, and again with lunch. For the first week or so, I had difficulty sleeping which is a common side effect. However, I found that I had more energy throughout the day while taking hydroxycut, so it was just a minor annoyance waking up; it did not affect my functionality during the day, and after a few weeks I was able to sleep normally. The other side effect I noticed was that I was hungry nearly all of the time. I had cut down my caloric intake to 1800-2000 calories per day for my diet to begin with, but I noticed my metabolism was higher while on hydroxycut. For me it wasn't unbearable by any means, and I feel much better feeling slightly hungry all day than slightly full. A word of CAUTION: Drink PLENTY of water while taking hydroxycut, or any other supplement, including basic protein. Keep in mind that hydroxycut does contain the same amount of caffeine that is in 4 average cups of coffee, and caffeine IS addictive. I would certainly not recommend taking any additional caffeine into your body such as coffee, soda, and certainly not energy drinks. You won't need them with the caffeine in hydroxycut, and in my non-professional opinion it could be dangerous, especially if you do this for any duration. I experienced some mild headaches when I stopped taking hydroxycut, which may or may not have been caused from caffeine withdrawal, or something else pertaining to the ingredients. They went away with drinking some water and taking a little advil. I will not take hydroxycut for more than two months, because I don't want to become dependant on the high amounts of caffeine in it. Hopefully this review helps for those of you who took the time to read it. I recommend trying this product as a supplement to a healthy diet and exercise, and certainly recommend using hydroxycut as directed, and stopping immediately if you have negative side effects.

I took the product exactly as directed and I do exercise very regularly. This made me hyper and sometimes a bit nauseous with no benefits. I did loose about 3 lbs but I'm not sure if the Hydroxycut was the reason, 3 lbs can be a reduction in retained water. I recommend that you save your money and exercise a little more and cut calories a little more. ( Reply )

I have taken Hydroxycut Hardcore before and noticed the effects on it right away. ex. a lot of energy when working out. When I take this Hydroxycut Hardcore I don't notice any sord of reaction when I'm working out. I looked at the expiration date thinking that it could be expired but it wasn't. So I really don't know why it's not working like others, but I'm not happy with it at all. ( Reply )

I gave this stuff a shot and it really didn't work for me. During my workouts it did give me a little extra energy but some heart palpatations came along for the ride. Hydroxycut made me feel irritable. It also kept me from gettng a good nights sleep. Even if the last dose I took was at noon, I STILL didn't get a good sleep. As soon as I stopped taking it, I was back to being sweet as a peach and sleeping like a baby. Also, it really didn't do much for curbing my appetite. If anything, I think it made me hungrier. Before anyone assumes anything; I am not one of those that takes the pill and sits on the couch and waits for a miracle. I eat well and workout a minimum of 5 days a week for an hour and a half to two hours each time. For me, it just didn't do anything. ( Reply )

I've never had a visible "six-pack" before until I tried hydroxycut hardcore. I'm not even halfway through the bottle and the small layer of fat over my abs is nearly gone. I am very pleased with this product and would recommend it to anyone trying get an extra boost in fat reduction. ( Reply )

After my research with M&F magazine, I decided to invest in this product. I am extremely satisfied with the results. After one week I lost 5 lbs around my belly and regained my 6 pack that i lost this winter. I recommend not taking this product after 3pm. It is difficult to go to sleep if you use it after that time. ( Reply )

I wish that I had known a good friend of mine tried taking this product before I decided to buy it. I read the reviews here on Amazon and thought they were pretty positive so I spent some money and got 5 weeks worth of Hydroxycut. I learned soon after that my friend lost no weight on the product. Well I would have like to have had the same result. I've actually gained 4 pounds after 5 weeks of taking Hydroxycut. I followed the instructions pretty well and did exercise. Stay away from this product - it's another gimmick. ( Reply )

I think these are great, but like all things maybe you should try it first. They sell these in stores in very small inexpensive packs so don't go out and buy 5 weeks worth with out trying it and making sure you like it. I have used these for a very long time. My favorite used to be dexatrim natural with ephedra, but since ephedra has been made illegal, there isn't anything that quite measures up. I've never taken the full dose of these because I find 3 a day work just fine. They do cause some jittery-ness but I think that anxious feeling is what keeps you from food. I do however take 2 of these only if I am going to run and they do make a difference. They give me extra power and help concentration. These are also great for when you don't get enough sleep and need to be awake lol. As with taking these, exercise and a sensible diet are a must to see results. I know for a fact that these have helped me to eat less and be able to work out longer. ( Reply )

While this product definitely does have its drawbacks, its positive effects have been overwhelming. First, it curbs hunger cravings like nothing else I have encountered, and, because you are required to take this three times throughout the day (before meals), it has helped me eat less at each meal. Second, its caffeine load is marginal, which means that headaches and other caffeine-withdrawl symptoms are out of the question and you have more individual control over caffeine intake. Personally, I think caffeine is a great metabolism-booster, as well, so I take caffeine supplements too; it's entirely up to the individual. The only thing I have noticed with Hydroxycut is that I have more trouble falling asleep at night. Perhaps this could be attributed to caffeine intake or a more active lifestyle, so I'm not completely sure. Overall, it's a great product and I'm satisfied (though somewhat pricey!). ( Reply )

I use Hydroxycut to loose weight for modeling shoots. I am 5'8 and about 120 lbs but even in the industry I am considered too overweight. In the past few years, my genes have caught up with me and it is now harder for me to keep the weight off. I am a vegetarian who doesnt eat any white flour or fried foods. I have been trying to avoid the industry's problem with eating disorders by eating right, exercising and taking hydroxycut when I need to take some weight off or to sustain my weight. As for the actual pills, I take 2 before breakfast and two before lunch. I never take them after 4pm because they cause insomnia. The pills supress my appetite a little and cause me to have bundles of energy. I can normally only run on the treadmill for a max of 30 minutes but with Hydroxycut I can run for about 45-60 minutes straight. Normally I can loose about 5 lbs a week (probebly water weight) and can workout without getting exhausted. I would recommend this product to anyone who needs to lose weight. If you will be ok with the boost of energy and the restlessness then I think it is right for you. The benifits definetly outweight the negatives. The product might not work as well for you if you dont excersise or eat right. So use this product as a supplement to healthy nutrition and excersise. ( Reply )

Been using this product for about a year and I must say overall, it is good. Let me first say that I used the product to maintain a certain weight and for a energy burst. I took two pills every morning and one on nights when I worked out, about 3 times a week. The product would subdue my hunger all day and give me that energy burst. However, on weekends generally at first, I did not use the product and I would eat everything in sight. Also, after work, it was always hard to drive home when the product wore off, because of the dropoff. Good product overall though. ( Reply )

Well, first I should begin by telling you guys that I've been using Hydroxycut religiously for the past 4-5 years and always found it to be the best 'diet pill' out there - and yeah, I've tried all of them. I have stuck with Hydroxycut through the years and through the changed versions and it has helped me manage my weight (5'5, 105lbs) as well as always giving me that extra 'kick' that I've come to appreciate, due to being a busy person and not being a coffee drinker. However, I recently placed my newest order and receieved this new version of Hydroxycut. On the first day I had high hopes - the pill looked and tasted a lot better and the bottle promised great results, along with more servings per bottle etc. The first day, I got up and took two pills. After walking my dog for an hour, I am usually wide awake and raring to go as the pills have kicked in. Not this time. I was crashed on the sofa, finding it hard to stay awake, and remained that way for most of the day. I took another 2 at lunchtime and just ended up feeling worse. I couldn't place blame on anything other than the new pills - I was eating fine, had enough sleep, and hadn't done anything differently. I am yet to examin the bottle to see what exactly is different in this formula, but whatever it is, its not good. (for me) Needless to say I was very relieved when I went into a local store the next day and found they still had the old formula in stock. I grabbed a bottle of it, and am now taking half of the old, and half of the new, every day. This gives the new formula a chance to work, but without me missing the 'kick' of the old one. It almost makes me feel less like I've wasted money on the whole bottle of the new one. I'm going to try and find only the old one from now on. ( Reply )

I have tried every pill over the counter. I still have 2 bottles of Hoodia unopened, because the 1st bottle did nothing for me. I like pills that are specific for women, even though some critics think it's a bunch of bull. If I can get some vitamins while taking diet pills, it's worth it. I love this pill. I take 2 pill 2X times daily. I have lost 12 lbs in 1.5 months. I've been working out and eating right for years now and the older I get, the tougher it is to lose weight. It's very frustrating. This pill helped me lose weight slowly, but it's still working for me. It did make me jittery for the first few days, but now, I love it. ( Reply )

I just started taking the hydroxycut max 6 days ago. I am on the second step up (2pills twice a day). They are giving me that push of energy and a decrease in appietite. The only draw back is if I don't follow the water directions. VERY IMPORTANT - IF YOU ARE FEELING DIZZY, SICK OR WHATEVER MAKE SURE YOU ARE DRINKING TONS OF WATER. It calls for you to drink at least 10 8-oz glasses of water and I find that if I don't that is when I feel yucky. As soon as I go and get a drink and stay hydrated I feel fine again. ( Reply )

I just started taking Hydroxycut Max four days ago. Have been doing the "ramp up" as suggested. Took 1 pill 2 times a day for the first 3 days and didn't notice any decrease in appetite. Had a slight headache but not enough to take anything for it. Did notice a little increased energy and had no trouble sleeping (took the 2nd dose at 3pm each day). Now on the 4th day I've increased my dosage to 2 pills 2 times a day and have had diarrhea but no headaches and my appetite has slightly decreased. I have lost 2 pounds so far so I'll see if the diarrhea goes away and will see how it goes. ( Reply )

I was a little bit hesitant to purchase this product because I was taking hydroxycut hardcore and although it was an amazing product the dose was way too high for me and made me feel jittery and gave me headaches. However, as it says it is made for women I thought i would give it a shot. Let me tell you that the results are amazing, lots of energy no more food craving, noticeable decrease in body fat, the 3pill dose did not made me feel jittery at all which was great. Im only giving it 4 stars because I expected to see results sooner, I do go to the gym 5 times a week and I carefully watch my diet and fat intake and I didn't see any results until they started showing a bit the last 2 weeks of taking it.

I've been on a lot of fad diets and taken a lot of diet pills. So far I am impressed with this one... about one week into them. Usually diet pilss help curb my appetite, but I don't have enough energy to exercise. I have pleanty of energy, controls my appetite well... and I'm not real jittery. I didn't notice a quick weight drop that I normally do with diet pills (most likely from water loss). I give it 5 stars! ( Reply )

I have been taking Hydroxycut Max for about 4 days now. I have already increased the dosage to 2 capsules twice a day. I have not had any side effects with this product at all. It does not make me feel at all jittery, no signs of a headache, and unlike other products I have tried in the past... it does not upset my stomach when taken. I have definately noticed a dramatic increase in energy levels and a decrease in appetite. Aside from taking this supplement, I work out 5-6 times a week lifting weights along with eating clean 6 days a week with one cheat day. So far, I do recommend this product and hope to see amazing results. It has made me feel great thus far and has helped me get through intense workouts. I will keep you all posted! ( Reply )

I am a former user of The Hydroxycut Hardcore which coming from a women was a bit too much for me. Although it works great it gave me the gitters way too much. However I very rarely feel the gitters with Hydroxycut Max. I find it works great with curbing my appetite sometimes a little too much so be careful eating enough is a must when working out. It does give me an abundance of energy and I would totally recommend this product to any women. Men you should stick to the Hydroxycut Hardcore LOL. Oh and most importantly I am seeing results already. I have only been taking this product for about a month now although I do workout on a regular and eat a clean diet this product isn't a substitute obviously but I do believe it helps with aiding with diet and exercise. As far as weight loss I have not weighed myself because I know I have been building muscle but I will say I have definitely lost a couple of inches. So follow the instructions, use good judgement and this product should work for you. And one last thing this seller offered a great price on this product as opposed to others. Goodluck!!!!!!!!

I'm very fit at 145 lbs but going for my pre-pregnancy weight of 132. After seeing an ad for Hydroxycut Max I gave it a go. Since I have a science background, I research anything I take, regardless of claims about the ingredients, and I record my diet and exercise. Here's what I found on Hydroxycut Max: in spite of all the Latin on the ingredient list (for example, xanthinol nicotinate is vitamin B3), and the unspecified proportion of each ingredient in the total product, the primary ingredient appears to be caffeine. The ingredients are mainly herbs, vitamins B3 and C, the amino acid l-lysine and soy lecithin, which is a food additive in everything from ice cream to salad dressing. The "6-level mechanism" in their print ads and web video is just a pretty description of what goes on in your body when you lose weight and use caffeine. So I called their customer service line, which was AWFUL. When I asked for more technical information, the representative didn't understand my questions and actually argued with me. Still, as soon as the Hydroxycut Max arrived I began using it as directed. A sample day from my fitness log shows a desert hike in 102*F sunshine. I carried a 42-lb pack containing my son. We climbed so hard that one of the women with us threw up. I was the first to the top of the mountain... and this was one of my "rest" days. Yet during this 3-week trial, with disciplined workouts and a 1300-1600 calorie diet, my weight fluctuated between 144-147 lbs. Yesterday I stopped taking Hydroxycut Max because it not only didn't help, it interfered with my sleep. I believe others have had positive results, but I'm curious about how much of their weight loss is due to concurrent lifestyle changes. Personally I don't have trouble with appetite control, a benefit many reviewers cite. I'm returning to "just" a solid diet and a hard daily workout. A final note on Hydroxycut Max's marketing: I modeled for 8 years, so I want to warn people that no over-the-counter supplement will make you look like the Hydroxycut girl. Fitness models are genetically gifted. I had a boyfriend who maintained this look by consuming a steady diet of processed food, alcohol and illegal drugs, and occasionally riding his dirtbike. It can be frustrating, but your best body is still going to be the best possible version of *your* body. ( Reply )

It's okay. I miss the old days of the original Hydroxycut. I feel like I have adapted to this one quickly. It does, however, make me feel fuller than not taking it. I wouldn't invest in it, though. ( Reply )

As with any weight loss plan, you have to incorporate a balanced diet with an exerise program. Hardcore will help you shed the pounds but don't expect it to happen just by taking them. Recommend you follow the dosage instructions to give your body a chance to adjust to them. Overall a good buy. ( Reply )

Seems to be working but isn't giving me energy will working out. Mostly because the caffeine levels was higher before i was taking this product. The product warning says not to add any other caffeine source. Well this month i decided to add one 200mg of caffeine before work-out and I'm happier. The overall is okay I've been loosing a average of 5lbs per week without changing my food intake/cardio... ( Reply )

I purchased Hydroxycut Max, because I ran out of the original. I had decent weight loss with the original HC 7lbs in 3 weeks. However after taking the minimal dose of the Max, I was scared out of my mind! My stomach cramped, and I had increased bowel movement. In the gym my heart beat wildly, I could not focus, and I was jittery. So jittery in fact I became embarrassed becaouse I could not perform my exercises properly. The amount of caffeine is ridiculous! I drank a gallon, and still had major probs....be careful with this mess, I'm taking my bottle back to the store! ( Reply )

I have taken several different weight loss products including the first Hydroxycut which I had no luck with, but with Hydroxycut Max I can feel the extra energy, and it curbs my appetite. If you are considering this product you need to know that just taking it will not make you lose weight. You still need to make the effort to eat sensibily and exercise. ( Reply )

Everything arrived fast. Only problem I had was the smaller package had a capsule open up so the whole bottle had stuff all over it. Not a big deal since it only killed one capsule but it made it harder to take since the stuff was all over the other capsules (think tasting aspirin or tylenol before they had coating). Amazon has the best deal with the largest quantity that I found so I'd purchase again. ( Reply )

Yeah, we've all seen the televisions commercials for Hydroxycut with the "before" and "afters," and the ads in the fitness magazines that make you think you're going to burn 10% of your body fat overnight. Naturally, if you want to feel like an "after," you can suck in your stomach and improve your posture, but does Hydroxycut Hardcore really work? It depends. If you want an appetite suppressant, Hydroxycut Hardcore works well. I'm not a massive eater, so one pill in the morning does it for me. I imagine if you worship at the altar of fullness, you'll probably need to take a couple more. In addition, Hydroxycut Hardcore has a bit of caffeine in it. One pill has an equivalent to one cup of coffee's caffeine. And, naturally, because of all the stimulants, it's great for an energy boost (which is the primary reason I use it). That being said, did I notice any significant fat burn as a result of Hydroxycut? Not really, not outside of my normal cardio/strength training routine. However - the strong appetite suppressing qualities will definitely limit your caloric intake, and the stimulants will probably help you burn a few extra calories, in addition to supplying you with more energy for your workouts. So, I guess it'll indirectly cause fat burn... but I imagine you should be careful about that, because your body will likely burn your lean muscle along with the fat, so make sure you get enough protein in your meals to reverse the catabolic effects. If you want a super fat-burner, my friends have spoken wonders about Lipo 6X in comparison to Hydroxycut Hardcore - I haven't tried that myself, but it's something to research. Though I can't imagine it's that different - look at the ingredients in all the fat burners, and they have a lot of the same crap. One cautionary note: I've read from all sorts of customer reviews giving the product a low rating because they failed to follow the directions and got sick on it. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE LABEL. Don't exceed the recommended dosages, and in fact, I wouldn't recommend more than three a day - people who are sensitive to caffeine or small in build are NOT going to have fun if they move up too quickly or take too much. If you feel headaches or nausea or something, immediately decrease your dosage, and if that doesn't work, stop taking it. Bottom line: Hydroxycut Hardcore may help with your weight loss efforts, but don't expect it to be a quick solution. If you want to lose weight, improve your diet and hit the gym! ( Reply )

When you start taking this, you begin with one pill two times a day and build up to 3 pills two times a day so that you can rate your own tolerance. At first these made me feel very energized and peppy, but after two weeks I do not feel that way. I think I have built up a tolerance for even 3 pills 2 times a day. These pills do seem to provide results, but lately I have been getting headaches after taking the first 3 in the morning, but that could be because I also drink coffee in the morning and the warning label says to not consume any other type of caffeine. But I love my coffee. So I think I have built up tolerance and I no longer feel so good when I take these. The results it provides are not worth the instability of my mood and the headaches. But otherwise it lives up to its guarantee. It just depends on how badly you want to lose the fat to see the muscle beneath. ( Reply )

My brother is a professional bodybuilder, and before his shows when he needs to lose his weight at a gradual pace, he uses this item. So I began using it when he offered for me to try it. I usually DO NOT take supplements to lose weight or gain muscle of any sort, I am NOT the type of person to pop pills everyday, so you can understand how aggravating it must have been that I had to resort to this. I did extensive research on Lipo6 before I began taking it. I was fearful of the caffeine content, as I don't consume any usually. And it did have a terrible effect on me, I was a bit jumpy, jittery etc,. HOWEVER- everyone is RIGHT when they say those side-effects DEFINITELY subside after the first week!! you will not feel a thing , trust me I am extremely sensitive to caffeine too. Going through the stress of graduate school I gained 20lbs. I've been taking Lipo6 now for about a couple weeks. The first week I lost 4lbs (great!), and its been wonderful from there. I DO workout and I eat a very nutritious diet. I believe that if you do eat horribly and do not perform some type of exercise, you will GAIN NOTHING from Lipo6. It has been a great addition to my workout and healthy eating plan- to say the least. I am getting ready for a wedding in August, and I am positive that I will reach my goal if I maintain my routine with Lipo6! I truly do hope you will take my review into consideration when you are buying this product- because if you were a skeptic like me, reading this honest review will be a great help, i know. If I could afford to, I would love to create a website for Lipo6, because this stuff really saved my life-- working out and eating right and not getting the results you desire can be a hard hit to take, but Lipo6 has saved me! :) .. GOOD LUCK! ( Reply )

Ok, I have tried every single fat burner out there, seriously. I used to take Hydroxicut Hardcore, which gave me ok results but affected my mood really badly, I would get depressed and it was even worse on my roommate, who went through awful mood swings while on it. That out of the way, I started taking Lipo 6 3 days ago. As far as fat burning is too early to tell BUT as far as energy goes, this stuff ROCKS!!!!! I took 2 pills on one dose by accident the first day instead of 1 and then 1and I was hyper. I took the recommended dose the following day..hyper...well, every day that I've been taking it, I've been very hyper. I light weights but had not been doing cardio (plus I don't like cardio), I started doing cardio this week and Lipo 6 gives me the kick I need, it gives me a lot of energy and it makes me want to be on the run until the effects wear off. I have not experienced "crashing" though, which is a good thing. I don't particularly want to lose weight per se because I just got out of a bulking phase, I just want something to help me lose the fat. So, I'll comment back in a few weeks and post what results I've experienced as far as fat loss goes. 3 stars for now, may give 4 or 5 if it actually helps me lose fat. ( Reply )

I purchased this item at least 3 weeks ago, and I tried it in the beginning, and it did NOT help at all with my cravings, and I actually gained weight!! Then, I decided to work on my diet for a week, then I started taking them again, only one in the am and one around 1:30. I did begin to lose a little weight, but I am gaining again because of my cravings. I DO NOT believe it helps at all with cravings or it is an appetite suppressent, but it could work for you. I am going to finish the bottle and hopefully will have lost about 10 pounds. ( Reply )

I was stalled for approx 3 1/2 weeks with no weight loss. I follow my eating very strictly. I am doing the cyclical ketogenic diet, doing 3 sprint HIIT sessions a week and heavy weight lifting on the weekends when I carb up. So one week before I credit Lipo 6 with unstalling my weight loss I had tried zig zagging calories. It did work, I lost 1 pound. Then Lipo 6 came in the mail. So beginning on monday (today is friday morning) I ceased drinking diet soda containing aspartame (this could have aided in the break of stall as well) and took Lipo 6. An almost entire month stall, I wake up this morning and proud to say that I am eight pounds down from about 5 days ago. Approximately how much I should have lost if I were losing 2 pounds a week, those 4 weeks I stalled. So you make the decision if it were the cessation of aspartame or the addition of Lipo 6 that did the trick. I am writing this review early because I am surprised at how much weight I lost just 4 days after I bought the product. The neat thing about this is that it makes your body extremely warm and you know that it's the thermogenics just making your body into a fat burning furnace. Beware you will sweat a lot, I upped my water intake by a quart a day when taking these pills. I have a hunch why these pills were rated best weight loss pills 3 years in a row by bodybuilding.com ( Reply )

I have taken the regular Lipo 6 in the past and it definitely worked for me along with exercise and eating healthy. Now Lipo 6x, I am following the directions, closely because I wasn't too sure how it was going to work. So far, I have taken one pill before 30 minutes of eating and I definiltey feel an impact, including some dizziness. I feel my body overheating and also feel a definite appetite reduction. Its like, when I think of food, I feel sick so the urge to eat has definitely reduced alot. I am going to work out soon because I feel like I need to burn alot of energy. I will take Lipo 6x every monring at 6:30 and exercise at 7:00am and take it again at 2:00pm. I am going to take two pills for a week and half until I get use to the feeling and then I will increase my dosage by one each week. Good luck to anyone who wants to take Lipo 6 x; it;s really an effective pill along with a good diet and some exercise. ( Reply )

I used lipo 6X for around three months and lost about 25 lbs. But this was with eating right and two hours of excersise a day. There is no magic pill. But this helps. The reason i stopped was because i was getting a rapid odd heart beat my third month in. So I figured Id stop. But the mistake i made was not consulting with my doctor when I started. Although i doubt any doctor would recomend these things. I say if your careful and eat, drink and sleep right its good. If you cant handle caffine or other stimulants stay away or talk to your doctor. ( Reply )

I have taken these before and was familiar with them. They do seem to have a quick onset with a longer duration with not so much of a jolt then a decline in energy like some of the same sort. It also seems to be a good exercise suppressant if you take as directed thirty minutes before meals. They also contain yohimbe which is a factor in blood flow. Good for exercise, also good for indoor exercise if you know what I mean. I use them for my off days from the gym when I don't take specific supplements. I have taken many different things and this is one of my favorites. P.S. Right now at the time of this writing GNC sells these for $70.00 ( Reply )

Bottom line this stuff kix a! My fatigue time is down and when I get the lactic acids pumping I can work out for hours. I have never felt anything close to this in recovery. It worx from day one. You'll feel your recoup time get faster and work outs go longer. I'm stacking this with Mass-tec and so far i've upped my bench by 30 lbs in two weeks and arm curls by 15 lbs with no "hang-over" effects. Make sure to take the recommended dose on "off-days" otherwise you'll be sore for a while. Drink plenty of water and take some rest days for sure.

With Leukic I noticed almost IMMEDIATE gains in strength and reps. If I had anything negative to say about this product, is that the pills are rather large. But - after a week or so you get used to taking them, and it isn't half bad. Leukic definitely helps with recovery, too. I highly recommend this product for anyone who takes their training as seriously as I do. ( Reply )

I have to admit this is definitely a good product. I do not believe in 80% of supplements, and pay most of my attention to training and nutrition. However, whey protein, creatine and amino acids have always worked. Well, I have added this one to the list because the results were very noticeable. I was also taking NitroTech at the same time but not so much because it makes me loose definition and gets me a feeling of fulness for long periods of time. By itself, I think it is a good product to try, although I cannot say that for many of MuscleTech products (specially the newest ones) since they are getting way creative when it comes to releasing the newest and hottest stuff available. It is not the case many times, and could be very costly to be trying all of them out, so be aware!!. Try Leukic though, I even think the ratio between capsules quantity/price is not that bad. Hope this helps you. ( Reply )

I've been working out for 8 years after deciding that being severly overweight was something i had to tackle in my early 20's. I've been through over 10 different fat burners and I'll say, thank god now that i'm 30 i can finally settle on one. I've gone to very low carbs, cardio morning adn night and using this to give me energy (without carbs your energy level is low) and wow this things just keeps you moving. Lost a good 10 lbs of pure fat in about 5 weeks. Haven't lost this much fat since Xenadrine was out. But it only works if you cut your carbs and do cardio morning and night (at least 30 minutes 8 times a week).
