    Hydroxycut is generally used WITH a good health and exercise program. It's pretty handy for knocking off that last % of body fat that otherwise may be very difficult to remove, irrespective of lifestyle.

    I personally would steer clear of it, however its proven to be effective and from memory it takes 7-8% of body fat off more than someone who is not on it. It's basically a crazy caffeine tablet mixed with other chemicals that burn body fat. It raises your heart rate so your body is constantly working harder than it usually would, thus burning more calories. It's not particularly good for your long term health.

    You do realize you're supposed to take it of a night? Make sure you don't workout while it's in use, it can elevate your heart rate to very dangerous levels. The first week you're on it expect dizziness, nausea and headaches as well.

    That's not a very responsible logic you've applied there. It actually really provides no benefit, except boosted energy levels for a workout. If you're looking for higher energy levels, in a safer manner, look into glutamine or tribulus. They won't elevate your heart rate to dangerous levels like Hydroxycut will. But will aid in muscle growth far more.

    Hydroxycut is far more beneficial before bed, as it effectively gives you a workout, while you're sleeping. Doing it before a workout won't help you lose fat any quicker, but puts you at risk of cardiac arrest if the workout is too intensive.

    Agreeing with that, Your heart beating at 1000bpm doesn't mean good workout. Your heart beating at your optimum level is what you want.

    I believe that's another reason why they say when you go for a jog, you want it so you can speak a sentence but don't want too because its annoying. You're not out of breath etc.

    You'll only do yourself damage.

    I have quite a few friends who are personal trainers, who have all used hydroxycut of an evening. It says on the bottle to have it with breakfast and lunch, but all of them swear by using it in the evenings. Most of them adopted the routine of workout in the morning, have it with lunch, and have it with dinner. By the time bedtime comes, the "buzz" had passed and sleeping was easy.

    It can be very dangerous having it before a workout. Think of using it this way, you workout, you're burning calories. The rest of the day you're lazing around, you take hydroxycut to continue that workout. Having it all for one big workout provides no extra benefit except for elevating your heart rate which is outside healthy ranges. It depends on how intensive your workout is obviously. Before weights may be fine, where your heart rate would not normally go above 120-130bpm, doing intensive cardio where your heart rate may reach 150bpm or more poses a large risk.

    Ive taken Lean-R by Xenamax(diet pill), cant really say if it was helpful or not, but i did lose alot of bodyfat. IMO its not worth it, just count calories your calories and make sure your getting the right amount is the key.

    Im currently taking "Mega Tribulus PM" which increases your bodys natural testosterone, Ive tryed a few different brands of these types of products and they all seem to give me anger at the gym, so i keep taking them

    I mentioned tribulus before. I agree, I love the stuff. Closest legal thing there is to steroids, but without all negatives. Makes getting up for the gym so much easier.

    much better than all those horsepower, purplewraath and co. But noexplodes pretty awesome the first couple of times you take it, i was like a 8yr old on a sugar high.

    When i was taking Lean-R i was told to take 2 in the morning, 2 at lunch time and 2 before bed. God knows why.

    Any place that sells your regular nutritional supplements will sell it. BSC make one called triandrobol, but it's massively overpriced. You can pick it up for around $40 for 60 capsules at most places (Triandrobol is around $130 for 90 capsules). 3 caps a day generally, promotes muscle growth and gets you psyched up for a workout as well. There are alot of sellers on ebay as well. The tribulus content varies greatly from each manufacturer, so you're better off going into a shop and speaking to someone who knows what they're talking about.

    Hydroxycut was alot better at assisting your body burning fat when it was first released in the USA because it used to contain an Ephedrine substance.

    But since its been linked to all sorts of symptoms & side effects from people abusing the product, it since had that ingredient removed.
