CUSTOMER REVIEW
Hello, fellow hefty friends of Amazon! Below, I have listed my basic stats and a little note, followed by a Q&A that I've made for those who are considering taking a happy journey towards weight loss and fitness with Hydroxycut Elite. At the end, I disclose my honest thoughts on the product, the experience while using it, and a bit of advice. If you have any more questions and thoughts, feel free to comment below.
Starting weight: 160
Current weight: 135
Starting measurements: 38.5/32/40.5
Current measurements: 36/27/37.5
Duration: 3 months, (two breaks in between)
Height: 5'2
Gender: Female
Body figure/type: Curvy/Hourglass (has stayed consistent)
Age: 22
Goal Weight: 110 (planning to reach goal without Hydroxycut Elite)
Goal: To be able to run down the street without becoming tired, so I don't have to miss the bus and be late for work anymore. The struggle is real. Also, to slim down by building muscle and cutting the excess fat away. *High Five*
(Admittedly, my initial reason for purchasing this product was for energy, but this gave me great results at the gym.)
*Note: I give this product 4 stars because of the positive outcome, a star is off because of the negative side effects that come along with it.

Your question: Does Hydroxycut Elite help you lose weight?
My answer: Certainly. But, If not used properly, you will get sick and you can severely damage your body...permanently.
Your question: Does this enhance your work out routine?
My answer: Very much. You will be running laps, my friend. You will sweat, feel the burn and have a more fulfilling exercise. My workouts can literally go on for hours when I take just ONE pill, I'm being serious. Double up on the fluids or you will suffer the dire consequences.
Your question: Is this a quick fix?
My answer: Yes, but only temporarily. To keep your weight down, you'll have to drastically change your diet, health and lifestyle to be able to go about your life without it long term. You will have to keep that strict diet for some time before you go buck wild on those cheeseburgers and fries at Five Guys, again. Truthfully, taking this red gem of joy long term is not recommended if you want long term weightloss. Doing so will leave you dependent and living an unhealthy lifestyle.
Your question: How does Hydroxycut Elite compare to the original Pro Clinical? (No Ephedrine)
My answer: Without going into heavy detail (details are on the front of the bottle), Hydroxycut Elite is MUCH stronger. I have tried both, this obviously "works" better. But if you don't use the energy it gives you, it WILL make you sick. I say this with confidence. You will have to eat more, exercise more, drink more water than you do with the the Pro Clinical. To give you a better analogy, the Pro Clinical is like swimming at the shallow end of the water, the Elite is like swimming in am ocean above sharks. On one pill, I experienced massive headaches, floating feeling, stomach aches, etc. I never got that with the full amount of the Original Pro Clinical. Use with caution.
You question: How long until you see results?
My answer: If you work out and eat right, you will see results almost immediately. Evidently, the first day is very rough. Especially if you do not ingest caffeine or stimulants on a regular basis. The first and second week will seem easy. The scale will give you a lower number...everyday. But keep in mind, most of that is just water weight. Overtime, you body will build tolerance to the drug, and you will become very dependent on its contents. After the second bottle or so, the actual pill loses affect. Your body will begin to become immune, spooky stuff. Therefore, I recommend taking breaks in between to give your body a break. When I took Hydroxycut continuously without breaks in the past, I built tolerance fast.
Your question: Does it curb your appetite?
My answer: Yes. Like any other stimulant, it will cause you to feel full quickly. In the beginning, you won't even want to eat. You have to remind yourself "Ok, I NEED to eat my meal now or I will get seriously sick". After a week, you will get used to the drug, and you will begin to eat normally again. However, you will most likely eat less - maybe even half your usual portion. That being said, once the crash starts to kick in, you may have an intense urge to snack and eat everything in sight. Self control and will power is necessary.
Your question: Thoughts on the recommended dosage?
My answer: Do not take the recommended dosage in the beginning. Even if you are used to the insane amount of caffeine they put in it, don't. Let your body adjust to these foreign, possibly dangerous chemicals you are putting into your body. The bottle will tell you otherwise, but we all know it's because that's how they make money. Start out with one a day, for about 4 days to the first week. It should depend on how much caffeine you are used to. Then, take 1 pill, 2 times daily. Do not take it 6 hours prior to bedtime, especially if you are sitting at a cubicle, procrastinating on your studies or playing video games on your bum all night. Try to start your magical Hydroxycut Elite journey on a day when you are free from stress. For normal people, this is rare. So, for you normal people out there - start this journey on your day off from work, school, AWAY from kids and serious responsibilities. Do not operate a vehicle on your first day. You will get into an accident.
Your question: Is this a healthy way to lose weight?
My answer: Absolutely not. This is probably one of the most unhealthiest ways to lose weight, especially if you are not working out HARDCORE, as it is advertised on the label. However, it is a fantastic edition to your work out if you are attempting to become very fit or add to an already intense routine.
Your question: Is it worth the side effects and health risks?
My answer: No chemical is worth risking your health along with the terrible side effects you will experience for the first few days or weeks. (With any drug - and I do not say this lightly). However, if you are completely committed to losing weight, getting fit and working out. Then, it is up to you to decide whether it is worth it or not. You may experience nausea, headaches, body aches, stomach aches, fatigue, insomnia, dizziness, jitters, lack of focus, loss of appetite, and a strong dependency to caffeine while taking this magical pill.
Your question: Can I take this with other medications? What if I have pre-existing health conditions?
My answer: No and no. With that being said, I am not a doctor. Ironically, I study nutrition and health. And I will tell you in confidence that taking this will make all pre-existing health conditions worse. Taking Hydroxycut literally shortens your lifespan, and you are basically compromising your health in the long run. Unfortunately, I know this through experience. (Hydroxycut product user for years).
Your question: What are the long term effects/results?
My answer: Cutting yourself off from this obscene amount of caffeine and the other chemicals you cannot pronounce will pretty much give you the same effects you felt the first few days you take Hydroxycut, the difference is that you will be insanely tired. Initially, you will feel shortness of breath as well. It is terrifying. So, to set yourself free from this red demon, do so by lowering your dose each week. That way, you will safely land on Hydroxycut-free Earth blissfully. And there, I will welcome you with open arms. As for the long term results, you will get fat, gain weight, become unfit, weak and lazy if you do not continue to eat right and exercise. You will gain weight fast RAPIDLY if you get back to your old habits. You may even gain much more than you lost. It will be very difficult to cut yourself off from Hydroxycut completely. I am living proof, as I have been taking this drug since I was a teenager. I am JUST starting to get used to living without it. So, tread softly.
Your question: Who should take Hydroxycut Elite?
My answer: Gym junkies, those who are called pleasantly plump but their colleagues, family and friends know that it is just a backhanded compliment for being fat, people in their 20-40's - who have the lost hope at losing weight in general and those who are 100% committed to eating right, staying hydrated, exercising and using this drug PROPERLY.
Your question: Who should NOT take Hydroxycut Elite?
My answer: Please do not take this if you are under 18. Do not take this if you are a sweet elderly man or woman. In fact, anyone younger or older than the age I've listed should run far away from this product, and never look back. Of course it is your decision to take it or not, but remember that this stuff can be very dangerous if your body cannot physically or mentally handle this product.
And for the obvious, do not take this if you are on any medications (both prescription or OTC). Do not take this with any mood stabilizers, anti-psychotics, sedative, stimulants etc. Do not take this if you are pregnant, breast feeding, or a lazy college student who drank too many energy drinks and has now become addicted to caffeine. Do not take this if you have a tendency to become dependent on stimulants or drugs in the form of a pill. Combining this with any medication or harmful substances can lead to serious side effects and dare I say it, death. And lastly, this is not recommended for anyone faint of heart, with any eating disorders, epilepsy, ADHD or insomnia...the list goes on.
Your question: Can I take this with other supplements?
My answer: You can take this with essential supplements. When I say essential, I mean things such as vitamins and proteins or whatever you else you typically take. Don't take this with other caffeinated supplements, avoid drinking caffeinated drinks as well. Also, you should be cautious when taking this with other supplements. Make sure they do not interact with one another. If they do, take the vitamins at a different time, or hours apart if you must. Taking them at the same time will make you feel no bueno.
Your question: Should I ask my doctor before taking this?
My answer: You can, but you won't get the answer you want. If you do, you should probably get a new doctor. Any doctor that advises a human being to take anything remotely close to Hydroxycut Elite may be an idiot, especially if they are giving a thumbs up to someone with other health conditions. I have nothing against doctors, just the ones that do not care about their jobs and only care about the money.
------------------------------
Thoughts and experience: The key to weight loss is to lose the weight slowly. The effects will be long term. The faster you lose it, the more likely you will gain it back. You are probably hoping to losing several pounds a week if you're seeking weight loss. This will do that for your from the get-go, but it is NOT good for you at all. You will gain that weight back right away. For the first month or two, you will likely lose anywhere from 1-2 pounds a week on average (more or less), IF you eat enough proper meals, get a good nights rest and exercise. Some, if not all of the weight you initially lose, will be water weight, you will gain that back eventually. Trustfully, I lost 1-2 pounds of water weight a daily on the first week, the week after that I lost a pound daily of water weight. After that, I began to see normal results. So, if the numbers stop going down on the scale, don't fret - you shouldn't be losing it too fast. Soon enough, the amount you lose in a day will be the amount you'll be losing in a week, and that is normal.
Losing weight should be a positive journey, you will get either half of that or an extremely negative journey while taking this. I say that because the most positive journeys to losing weight is with natural foods, and these chemicals will give you unpleasant effects and a terrible crash more than half of the time. Taking Hydroxycut Elite is a huge health risk. You may lose weight, but keep in mind that it isn't a promising solution. You have to remember that this is MAN-MADE, which should be your first red flag. NOTHING in this drug is "good" for you. It isn't a sustainable solution, it's a product that will aid you temporarily with weight loss and fitness. Don't take this if you have intentions of using it forever, that will harm you.
Please avoid taking this long term. It can cause SERIOUS damage to your kidneys, and liver.
My last bit of advice: Eat a lot of carbs and proteins. Avoid food-like substances, the middle aisles at the grocery, and go easy on the heavy oils. Your body will need to burn something off while you're working out. Double up on your fluids, avoid excessive snacking and rotate your work outs. Give your body a break every other day from intense work outs. Working out too much can be counter-productive. If you plan to wean off from Hydroxycut Elite, stay on a clean diet. Attempt to end your Hydroxycut Elite journey with a natural DIY liver and kidney cleanse for a few days and try getting on a raw food diet, even you can only manage that for a few weeks. That way, you WILL keep the weight off and stay fit.
Good luck my fellow hefty friends, I wish you well.
