It works but had side effects, Apr 14, 2013
|
reviewer: Amanda from Raleigh, NC
|
| I used this product for about a week. I followed the directions and took 2 before each meal. I lost 2 pounds in 2 days! The downside to these pills are for one, they gave me a buzz; I felt high, spaced out! It wasn\'t a bad feeling, I could function and I had more energy and no headaches. But the other side effect was once I stopped taking them my face broke out with bad acne! I did some research and read that a lot of people complained of acne on their chest and back but mine was on my face! It was horrible! It took about a week to get the pills out of my system! My review is it works but I don\'t feel comfortable with feeling spaced out all the time or the acne, thanks but no thanks! |

Amazing!, Oct 06, 2012
|
reviewer: Dana from United States
|
| I usually work out daily, running 5 miles some days and walking 6 miles on other days. I will admit I am 5\'3\'\' and was only 120 on the Thursday that I started taking Hydroxycut Caffeeine Free, and now (Saturday) I weigh in at 115. I started taking this aid to help with a very low metabolism due to an eating disorder I had for a while, but I\'ve noticed that I can hold down smaller portions and I don\'t feel hungry again until the next day. No side effects, I have already recommended this product to friends! |

dangerous, Jun 14, 2012
|
reviewer: Jennie from Mora, MN.
|
| I have been taking this Product for a few months now. I have had wierd headaches, dizzy feeling lasting all day. Today I have been experiencing this all day and I only took the pills yesterday. I can\'t even concentrate today. I can\'t spell, think or function properly. My memory loss has been so bad some days that I have no idea where I am when I get up in the morning. This is not a safe product. |

10 lbs in 3 days??? No joke!, Apr 11, 2012
|
reviewer: T.S. from Los Angeles, CA, USA
|
| Yes, that\'s right: on Sunday night, I weighed myself at 230. I stepped on the scale today, and I weigh 220 (I\'m 6\'2 and very stout). And the weight loss is visible - the piece of fat that hung under my jaw is nearly gone, upper body and fat around my waist is greatly diminished. Went down two rungs on my belt and most of my clothes are fitting a bit big now.
Now: here\'s the caveat... I rode about 60 miles on my bike in that time. This is not totally abnormal for me; I ride on average about 100 miles a week for fitness (not commuting), and have been doing this for about the last four months. I keep a very strict vegetarian diet, no sodas, no energy drinks or coffee. I\'ve dropped a lot of weight in the last few monhs, but this much in this short a time is unreal.
I can\'t comment on how this stuff will work for you if you still plan on being sedentary and eating McDonald\'s for breakfast and lunch and then Hamburger Helper for dinner, but if you are actually using this as a SUPPLEMENT to your workout routine, this stuff really rocks.
I chose the caffeine-free variety because heart disease runs in my family and it\'s the main reason I\'m getting back in shape. Caffeine can aggrevate heart problems. The caffeine free Hydroxycut doesn\'t give you a "rush" like most energy/weight loss supplements; it\'s more gradual. I take it along with my other vitamins, and then not long after, my body is telling me to go for a ride or lift something.
I have noticed a couple side effects, and a change in my workout routine. Although I ultimately am able to ride longer, and feel way more pumped for way longer after my ride, riding up hills actually seems to take more out of me than before, and I also seem to recover from a serious burst of exertion about a minute longer than before (for instance, when I pedal hard to pass a slow-moving car). Previously, it only took about 30 seconds to feel recovered.
I have had a harder time sleeping, and I already have insomnia issues. Picked up some liquid melatonin to take care of that and got to sleep normally last night; woke up earlier than usual, and ready to go jump on my bike.
I\'m drinking WAY more water than before - used to drink 1 liter of water per 20 miles, now drinking about 2.5. I notice dry mouth much more quickly and frequently than before.
If you\'re serious about a workout routine and lifestyle change, or already are an athlete and want to shed some fat for the summer, this is your stuff! |

Works great for me, Mar 05, 2012
|
reviewer: Jenna from Seattle, WA
|
| I bought the caffeine free version because I am super sensitive to stimulants, a grande latte will make me feel like I\'m having a heart attack. I have been taking hydroxycut caffeine free for 2 weeks, have sort of been watching what I eat, but I have to admit have only exercised twice, yet as of today I have lost 8 pounds so far! I have had no jitters or any major issues, the only side effect I have had is heartburn/reflux symptoms, but I bought some prilosec otc and that fixed that. So now I am completely side effect free and losing weight. I highly recommend this product! |

Fever & Headache, Feb 21, 2012
|
reviewer: Jason from Singapore
|
| Took 2 tablets before breakfast for the first time and had fever for that day. I was not aware that the fever was caused by the Hydroxycut tablet. Tried that again and had fever and headache. Still not suspicious as there was this flu epidemic here. Took a week break and tried again on last Friday and had a headache. Started to suspect Hydroxycut was the culprit. Tried again on Saturday before heading out to the zoo with my family. Had a terrible headache and could not stay focus the whole time. I rarely have headaches and found this strange. I have stopped taking and threw the bottle away. My head still feels heavy now. Having read from others complaining about headaches, I believe that is the cause!! Be very careful! |

DONT DO IT!!, Apr 07, 2011
|
reviewer: Samantha from Lakeview, MI USA
|
| Ive been taking hydroxycut for a few weeks, but I use half the recommended dosage. I would take two pills before breakfast. I decided to cut out the drug and eat healthier food. First of all, I became dizzy and disoriented. I began tripping over my own feet!! My heart rate dropped to 65bpm!! My husband came rushing home to take care of me. I was completely exhausted and passed out for several hours, my husband came & checked on me to make sure I was still breathing. It\'s been a few days and my bowel movements are still not normal. My system is still purging the drug.
If you want to lose weight watch what you eat & exercise. (It\'s not difficult at all) Donate your "fatty foods" to a food bank and load up on healthy foods. Go on a walk!! Fresh air & sunlight does the body good. If you still want to use this drug PLEASE, please be careful!! I honestly thought I was going to die & I will never use any weight loss drug again, ESPECIALLY HYDROXYCUT CAFFINE FREE!! |

First day of taking caffeine free Hydroxycut, Jun 16, 2010
|
reviewer: Rose Licort from Naples,FL
|
| Well its my first day today in taking this new caffeine free hydroxycut pills. The first one I took was the regular hydrocut pills 2 weeks ago and felt like I was having a heart attack, then I went to the hospital and my blood pressure was sorta high. Im now starting this new 1 caffeien free, maybe it was the caffeine that caused this. Hopefully now with this new product I wont feel so much tremor or heart attacks!! |

It works, but i had a side affect, Sep 28, 2009
|
reviewer: Nicole from NY, USA
|
| Ok, i did notice some weight loss results after taking this product for a few days. I only experienced one side affect that i seem to get from every weight loss pill i take and that is, Constipation. I dont know what it is, but these pills dry my body out and then i have horrible problems going go the bathroom. So to anyone who already have constipation problems, i wouldnt recommend you taking these pills, as it will just make your problems worse-most likely. I did lose a few pounds, but as of now, i must stop taking them because if i dont i know i will just run into more problems with my body. |

Hydroxycut Caffeine Free, Jul 23, 2009
|
reviewer: Anonymous from North Carolina
|
| I have been taking Hydroxycut Caffeine Free for a week, and I have had absolutely no side effects. The only side effect I have had is more energy!! I want to work out 2-3 times daily now because my energy level is so high. This is a great product for those of you that desire little or no side effects. |

it is easy on the stomach, Jul 08, 2009
|
reviewer: Brooklyn-cyclist from new york city
|
| Male-30, work out 5 times a week.
I chose the caffeine free version because I have an extremely sensitive stomach and caffeine is an irritant. If I drink more than one small cup of coffee a day, I get stomach ache. so far 3 days into taking 4 pills a day, there is no stomach ache. Still early to see if I\'ll loose weight but overall I feel well and normal. |

reason for the headaches, Apr 22, 2009
|
reviewer: Headaches be gone from Baltimore, MD USA
|
| In references to the headaches using the hydroxycut caffeine free... If you are a person that consumes a lot of caffeine and you change your diet and use hydroxycut caffeine free you are cutting out the caffeine your body is used to intaking. Caffeine has a natural ingrediant that the body some how functions with it and the lack of it can cause headaches. Therefore, you are probably expierencing headaches because your body is no longer getting the ingrediant that is in caffeine. just like any addict if you drink a lot of soda or coffee sometimes if you dont drink it for a while you get headaches, crack open one and drink it back...headache is gone. that is what most likely if you expeirce headaches as a side affect is from the withdraw fromt he caffeine |

The rack in a bottle!!, Apr 21, 2009
|
reviewer: Russ from San Francisco, CA
|
| I only took the caffeine free Hydroxycut for 3 days. Strangely enough I noticed a 3lb loss, but no results are worth how I feel. At the end of day 2 I was feeling a little achy. Day 3 it hurt to walk, I had a bad headache and my back hurt. I didn't take the evening dose last night or anything today and I'm damn near a cripple! My back is in excrutiating pain when I do anything. I thought a sneeze this morning would kill me. My whole body aches, although my headache is slightly better than yesterday. I tossed and turned last night. I don't know if it was as a result of ingredients or the pain of not being able to find a comfortable position. Hell, it could be both. In any event, I don't recommend this fine product to anyone. I've got friends that swear by it, but clearly some of us have drastically different body chemistries! Danger, Will Robinson! |

Fortune Cookie, Apr 03, 2009
|
reviewer: Jen from Columbia, MD
|
| The product is amazing. It is so much better than the regular hydroxycut because it does not give you the jitters or make your heart beat faster. I've tried both. Since, last week I've lost 7lbs, of course I also excerise everyday as well as count my calorie intake. Before, I was constantly hungry although, I would watch what I would eat as well as excerise I would stay at the same weight for a month. Thank you hydroxycut. |

Caff-Free Hydroxycut - Fast Weightloss!, Mar 20, 2009
|
reviewer: Gin from San Diego, CA
|
| I started this on Tuesday morning, taking 2 caplets, 1/2-1hour before each meal. The first day, my stomach was a little upset by the evening time, but after that, I had no other issues. On Tuesday I weighed in at 254lbs, and on Friday morning, I weighed in at 248lbs - that's 6lbs in 4 days! I've been drinking about 120oz-200oz of water each day, but it helps keep me "full" and away from snacks. Also - I'm extremely sensitive to caffeine, so this version was ideal - I've had no problems sleeping, etc. The only side effect has been weight loss! |

To Yxerd, Mar 15, 2009
|
reviewer: Elisa from Miami, FL
|
There's no problem of taking naps (this is, if you can, hehehe)! They advise you not to take withing 5 hours before bedtime just because you may experience problems to be able to sleep.
I had already used the RFA-1 and it was great, lost the fat I had on my belly completely and as I run daily, it didn't come back! The only problem I faced was a hard time to sleep! That's why I bought this one... let's see how it goes! I'm not fat... I'm pretty athletic, but still have some deposited fat here and there that would like to get rid of. Am going to start tomorrow together with gym + diet... will be back later to tell you the results!
Good luck to all!! :D |

So far so good, Feb 12, 2009
|
reviewer: Carly from Fort Riley, KS
|
| Today is the 4th day that I have been on hdroxycut the caffeine free version and I have already lost 4 lbs. So after the 3rd day I have lost 4 lbs. I have had no side effects. I battle with anxiety and sometimes I am borderline panic attack so thats why I choose the caffeine free version. I took 1 pill and felt fine, I took a total of 3 pills the 1st day and felt normal. The next day I took the recommended 2 pills and realized that it made my anxiety go up to where I felt like I was gonna have a panic attack so now I only take 1 pill at a time for a total of 3 pills a day and I feel great. I feel totally normal and I have not been eating that great and I am still losing weight. I will start eating better soon and plus I run about 8 miles a week |

| Took my first pill about 6:00a, 1 pill only to see how I react. Its 2:00p and I have a sick to my stomach headache (I don't get headaches), am dizzy and my ears are ringing. Needless to say I wont be taking any more. To be fair, I do have a friend who uses this product and has no problems with it. |

Very Tired, Dec 06, 2008

reviewer: Elizabeth from Canada

HELLO EVERYONE!
I am a 20 year old female with a clean history of health. I taking the CAFFIENE FREE HYDROXYCUT to lose about 15 pounds. I am 5'3 and weigh 140lbs. I have been taking it for three days now and find that I am always ABSOLUTELY EXHAUSTED! Now, I'm not sure if this is the pills taking effect or the fact that I am just tired from school and work and stress etc. I have noticed that some others are feeling fatigue too.
I recently lost 40 lbs by just diet and exercise. An entire lifestyle change. But recently with school and work it has been hard to keep up with exercising. I started off by taking the recommended dosage right off the bat. 2 pills three times daily before meals. BUT it really hasn't curbed my appetite that much.
DO I HAVE TO WAIT LONGER TO SEE RESULTS?
And also people PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THIS REVIEW BOARD IS FOR CAFFIENE FREE PRODUCT USERS. I have been reading many posts from regular Hydroxycut, and Hydroxycut Max or something. I am going to continue taking it for a week and see what happens. So far no results. Just really tired. |
