Hydroxycut

[sproing99]

I'm 185 lbs, 5'11 and i run/jog 4 to 5 miles a day, and I eat a granola bar for breakfest, 6 inch Subway sandwich for lunch and lean cut turky for dinner. Not to mention I only drink water. I'm just looking to shed about 15 lbs to get to the weight i was at in college. I'm not overweight for my size, i just want to be a little more toned, and why is half the people who respond being such assholes, did I really ask anything that bad. Jesus Christ.

On this basis, your intake is about 1500 calories a day (depending on the sub)

Your output is around 2500 calories a day

Unless you are losing around 2 lbs a week you're either not jogging *every* day or you're not taking into account other sources of calories.

In my case, it wasn't until I counted all calories consumed that I realised that I was consuming several hundred calories (through various drinks/snacks I hadn't registered) more that I thought.

By keeping an accurate count I managed to go from 225lbs to 175lbs over an 8 month period (and keep it off for 8 years so far)

I'm not sure if Hydroxycut works. I know ephedra works.
I wish I could find more.

I'm sick of those 'Cash for Gold' commercials.

You and me both. They only pay you a fraction of its actual worth and they don't pay for the diamonds or anything else that is attached to the gold.

Rip off, keep your gold.

Not surprising considering MuscleTech make it the kings of over priced crap.

MuscleTech also has some of the most ridiculous (and hilarious) advertising on the planet.

I know just take a look at this there's no way he's not on the juice.

just do a shitload of crystal meth and then once you drop down to like 87 pounds, go on a diet of nothing but mcdonalds and steroids. sure you'll look like shit and it will take 30 years off your life, but you'll be at your ideal weight in no time.

Yeah imagine if you could incorporate the chronic weightloss of Crystal Meth into a weight loss supplement without the deadly side effects, it would be just as popular as that hydroxycut & other gimmicky rip offs that are supposed to help you lose weight.

And if I am not mistaken and others have touched on this. If you exercise and diet properly you'll lose weight naturally, taking any of that commercialized is just that BULLSHIT that's there for somebody to get rich off of people's ignorance, stupidity, and the other smart people who are just naive.

Nothing I said is directed towards, nor meant to insult you "Yankeefan" just stating my opinion on how these con artists operate there ploys and scheme's. :thumbsup::hatsoff:

Good point Marlo nothing beats good nutrition and exercise,and a lot of the supplements out there are a complete waste of money that rely on marketing and have very little science to back them up.

I have no interest in trying it, but I'm curious know if anyone here has or knows someone who has taken it. I'm curious to know if they shit themselves from taking it.

I managed to make it to the bathroom thankfully.
Oddly none of the new news is all that surprising if you've taken it. It's not something to be taken lightly and even the gnc guy tried to warn me about taking this stuff for the first time... then tried to sell me creatine.

I used to use Hydroxycut about 8 or 9 years ago when it still contained ephedra (mau huang) as a part of my supplement regimen...It worked 100 pct. for helping me get as ripped as I've ever been but as soon as there were reports linking ephedra to cardio-vascular injury I stopped using it and all other ECA stacks.

There is nothing that will raise your metabolism and fat burning engine faster or as high as ECAs but apparently anything that works that well is too good to be true.

The only safe way to raise your metabolism is to eat progressively smaller meals during the day and work out. If you start your day with the largest meal you'll eat, loaded with protein your metabolism with rise naturally.

It's weird how steroids are looking to be the safest thing out there.

Yeah to bad there's still the whole if you take steroids your worse than Hitler mentality.

That's not necessarily true. Based on genetics and other things there is a wide range or responses from people on how much the steroids work for gaining muscle and what long term negative health consequences are going to be for people. The bad thing is that it's hard to tell fully how they are going to effect somebody's health long term until a person has taken them for an extended period of time. A minority of people get lucky and can almost take a moderate amount of them for years and have minimal long term repercussions. Then again, there is a handful of people out there that can't handle them at all. Most people will fit in the middle somewhere.

For people that take them part of the biggest problem, other than having a reliable supplier and the cost, is all the other drugs people have to also put into their system to counteract all the side effects of the steroids they also take in. Most of the hardcore people that use don't just take one thing or pop one pill every once in a great while, they are virtually walking pharmacies, and all those drugs they are taking will probably catch up to them someday if they keep doing it.

It's true that it would be really hard to overdose on steroids or have them be what kills you right away, but there is significant side effects that can occur, especially for people that don't know what they are doing or how to take them. I'm sure out of millions of people steroids have adversely effected more than a dozen or so people like Hydroxycut.

I should also note that I don't care if somebody takes steroids, outside of them being in some athletic competition. Things like that are always a personal choice. For me personally I just don't think it's worth it.

The thing about steroids is that people use the term in too much of a generic term and don't know that there are multiple different types that have there own set of side effects.

Dekka,D-Bol,Anadrol,Winstrol.What kind steroids are we talking about?

Professional bodybuilders have learned over the years how and when to juice in order to avoid severe side effects.Although,we will see how these Mr. Olympias are in about another 5-10 years.

Regardless of steroid use or not,amateur and professional bodybuilding is very taxing on the human body and is quite unnatural.

With most of the gear they use I suppose it's possible for some people to take a low dose every now and again, especially if they are built to handle it and know what they are doing, which a lot of casual people don't, and not come out too bad years down the road if they want to bulk up a little bit. (Then again if somebody just wanted to bulk up just a little steroids probably wouldn't be worth it then.) Some people might even be able to use moderate doses and not have any long term effects. Then again those are only some people.

That doesn’t describe anybody close to being a pro bodybuilder. Even the genetic freaks have to take a lot of stuff just to compete. I'll admit there are some people that come off their careers and don't seem to have suffered that much. Then again for all their knowledge about the use of gear there are others that don't come out so well and you can tell they pushed it too far where they start having some health issue, start showing the onset of pulombosim, have their natural test level drop to that of a 12 year old girl, or have HG gut (although that isn't do to ABS). Plus, even for the others it's hard to tell how much it's effected them. I wonder how many of the retired bodybuilders that are off the juice now have to take HRT the rest of their lives. I still think half of the reason some people can have minimal side effects it is just plain fortunate genetics and not that they are that knowledgeable at taking the stuff. While anabolic steroids is demonized to an irrational by the government and society and considering it isn't really acutely mind altering I think people should have the choice of making the decision to use it or not on a personal level. That doesn't mean it has no risk or is always going to be safe for everybody that uses it.

Just from my personal perspective I wouldn’t use just because I like being healthy and it gives me a sense of accomplishment knowing I reasonably pushed my body as far as it could naturally go, which I admit is a far cry from what a highly dedicated juiced person with above average genetics will achieve. Sometimes for people the window for having a superhero type physique is only a handful of years, and I often wonder if they will think it was worth it after it's all done. For anybody else, from my perspective, I don't see the reasoning for it unless it will somehow result in them getting a lot of money in doing it, like an athlete, model/actor, or the very top handful of pro bodybuilders that can make more than it cost to keep them in that condition and even a lot of them eventually pay a price.

As far as it being unhealthy or unnatural, I would say yes and no. I think doing it naturally is a lot closer to what the human body is supposed to experience than being a couch potato or sitting in an office all day and getting fat for example. I also think as long as the person doing it pays attention and doesn't push it to the point of injury, takes care of their joints as much as possible, and doesn't go crazy with the bulking/cutting phases they go through, and doesn’t have an absolutely no cardio of any kind attitude it can be a reasonably good activity. The only think I really worry about is creating all those free radicals in the body from eating so much food, but I don’t' know if that happens for anybody that eats a lot or if it's just the people that don't use the food and get fat.

You don't fucking need pills to lose weight.

All you need
1. HIIT - training a few minutes a day
2. Good diet - don't over eat because it's healthy
3. A mind set to lose weight without any help

Most of the time if you need something to help you lose weight it won't work. The weight will just come back after your done using it since you haven't changed your diet and life style.

4. remember to stretch, as it allows you to work out longer, work out with more power, and thus lose more weight and gain more muscle....plus more muscle=more calorie burning as well

and as mentioned hydroxycut is toxic
