Are there diet pills that we do like? Yes - quite a few actually. When we rate diet pills we look at a variety of factors including: ingredients, customer feedback (which is why we allow you to post your reviews) and the satisfaction guarantee (if there is one). There are a few diet pills that have received extremely high marks across the board, and our favorite is Apidexin. You can read our review or go to the official site. Hydroxycut Max
What is Hydroxycut Max?
Hydroxycut Max is the newest fat burner in the Hydroxycut family. Hydroxycut Max is designed / marketed to women, though you couldn't tell by reading the ingredients. There have been many versions of Hydroxycut over the last decade, and we will focus on one of their latest versions - Hydroxycut Max.
Now, Hydroxycut Max is essentially a green tea supplement with a ton of other ingredeints ? thrown in. If you visit their site you will see terms like "Doctor Formulated", "scientifically designed", they will also cite clinical studies. These are the same 'clinical studies' used by other supplement companies. It should be made clear that the clinical study wasn't done on Hydroxycut Max, but only on Green Tea. Hence Green Tea is where all of the clinical studies have been done on Hydroxycut Max.
This isn't to say that Hydroxycut Max is or isn't a good fat burner, but don't get confused and think that there were double blind clinical studies done on Hydroxycut Max. This is just how Hydroxycut products are all marketed.
Now a "Proprietary Blend" is what companies do to mask the amount of each ingredient that is included in the product. This has both it positives and negatives. The positives are that you get to see what is in the pill, the negatives are you really don't know how much of these ingredients are actually in the pill. So companies may just include a tiny amount of those ingredients in the product to give us that ?wow? factor. My guess is that with the amount of caffeine contained in Hydroxycut Max, this is exactly what they do.
Well, let's take a look at the ingredients. I won't go into detail about the ingredients in the Hydroxycut Max?proprietary blend? because there aren't enough of them to be effective, but I will talk about the Caffeine, Green Tea, and Yohimbe.
- Caffeine & Green Tea ? The amounts of these ingredients will increase your metabolism, energy along with your heart rate, anxiety level which will most likely to give you a stomach ache and the jitters. Some people like that feeling some don't. I like the extra energy when I am exercising.
- Yohimbe ? There is no documentation or studies done that show that Yohimbe encourages weight loss. There have been studies done that show that Yohimbe may have a negative side effect on nursing or pregnant women, people with high blood pressure or kidney disease. It is a strong stimulant that has been banned in Canada and Australia.
Overall, Hydroxycut Max contains a potent amount of Caffeine and Green Tea, which are shown to be an effective fat burner when combined. If you are concerned with any of the side effects mentioned above, I would stay away from this product. The main thing that Hydroxycut Max has going for it is the name.
HydroxyCut Max User Reviews
" ... I have taken Max for 8 days. I faired well with one tablet 2x a day but when I bumped it up to 2 tablets 2x a day I had heart burn that was intollerable. I stopped all drinks but water and was watching what I was eating.I have to stop because I cannot handle the gas/heartburn. "
"I am not a caffeine drinker but Max really gave me the jitters and what felt like acid reflux. I was nauseus, had increased bowel movements and was very nervous all of the time. I lost 1 pound in 2 weeks, but I don't think it was worth it."

Hydroxycut Max Conclusion
If you ladies have ever walked into a GNC, I am sure they have tried to push Hydroxycut Max on you. But be strong! Hydroxycut Max is a "below average" diet pill. They don't disclose how much of the active ingredients are in there.
My guess is that it is 75% Green Tea. The Three Teas are good supplements. Many women who just want the fat burning, appetite suppressing and anti-oxidant power of these tea's end up buying a 'Tea' supplement.
We recommend HydroxyCut Hardcore over HydroxyCut Max. The best deal is at HydroxyCutOnline.com, where you can get a free bottle.

baby and i cant get to the gym because i have no one to watch my baby, so i try to dance at home, hope i still have results
hope i'll see some changes soon!
Good luck everyone! :)
This was a great investment, and I'd HIGHLY recommend it to anyone!
HYDROXYCUT MAX WORKS!!!
I just started this product going on probably two weeks now and I have notcied extreme BM problem. I can not stop going to the bathroom, so im going to cut back on 2/2 and try it slower. I hope it works!
BTW, today was day 1 and I took 1 pill before my workout this a.m., and 1 at lunchtime before my tuna garden salad. Keep me lifted in prayer! ;)
omg i cant stop scratching. ever since i started taking the pill. I took it for 4 month about 2 years ago. when i started taking it again recently, i started breaking out in rashes. Really ugly. I dont recommend using this product. >-(>-(>-(
The stories are quite scary and I will not go beyond 3 pills a day because that's just plain unhealthy. This was my first day and it made me more "active" in a good way, it increased the endurance to finish the work outs. I eat rather healthy and in tiny proportions so my diet and exercise was not the problem. I hope this will help me and I will keep you updated.:-) I was very skeptical, I didn't really feel like I had "more" as in I became very hyper, jittery but it did allow me to have a heavy workout of 1hr 30 mins without feeling tired and I do realize that 6 pills is the equivalent of 6 cups of coffee=UNEAHLTY! so I will not take more than that. Hopefully this will help me break to 130-120lbs mark.
Lady you are so wrong! Everyone is different and can be affected in different ways. Youre heavier so yes you will lose more quickly.
The product makes me itch. It starts with my scalp then moves down to my neck and within 15 min my whole body itches! I am discontinuing use.
I started taking hydroxycut max on January 8 2009.
It is now January 22. I first weighed 195 lbs and I've lost 12 lbs I weigh 183 now.
I walk around a mile every day, I'm taking a swim class MWF and my coach is kicking my butt, I go hiking on the weekends, and I do sit-ups, push-ups, leg lifts daily. I eat a big breakfast and small lunch and dinner OR a Lean Shake (vanilla) to replace lunch or dinner if I didn't do a lot of exercise that day.
I take 1-3 pills twice daily depending on how much activity I'm doing that day. Today I took two in the morning ,and none this afternoon. because its thursday so I only walked .75 miles and am about to do my pushups/situps.
I drink about 80 ounces of water a day, a glass of soymilk if I need the protein that day, and about one glass of green or black tea a day.
I started out really strong and I'm trying to keep my motivation.
I really reduced my diet, I used to be a habitual smoker of tobacco and potts. I gave up both and I also gave up drinking.
I used to eat whatever whenever, now I eat mainly raw foods high in protein and fiber.
I'm a vegetarian but I have been for years.
I'd really like advice or feedback if anyone has any.
hhydroxycut gives me the energy to exercise but I worry a lot when I take it because I don't want to rely on it.
When I began I was all in and trusted the pills, I haven't had any negative side effects, other than too much energy that I can't pay attention (i.e. Driving, In Class) anyway, thats my story... so far so good. 12 lbs in 2 weeks :)
MUAY THAI class....after 20min training i felt really bad, i had difficult breathing and
a bit of irregular heartbeat!
could not continue exercising cause i was feeling really weird!
i am throwing it away!
in 2009, i decided that i needed to lose more weight. i work retail, so i'm always eating fast food, or whatever i can get my hands on. but since i was promoted and moved to a different store, there was more work involved. other than being more active (felt like the gym), i wanted to start the pills again. i started going back to the gym after all, but i go for a week, and take a week off. i rememeber being 150lbs in the summer and when i stepped on the scale; more recently, i weigh 130lbs.
i'm happy i lost the weight (if it was even the pill), but i hate the side effects. everytime i burp, i get this completely disgusting taste in my mouth and i dread taking the pills every time (3 in the morning, 3 at night- half hour before any meal). it might be all the caffine in it but i just hate it. i am still jittery, even after hours of already having the pill in my system. i drink plenty of water just to settle the uneasyness in my stomach.
thinking about it, i don't even know why i'm still taking it. i'm looking for another pill to help me lose my extra 15lbs to be at my target weight. if anyone has suggestions, let me know.
I swim 2km, run 5km & do weight training 5-6 times a week. I have no fat or red meat in my diet at all, nor do I eat complex carbs and all this product did was make me extremely jittery and anxious.
If I could get a refund I most definately would!
bye :)
POSITIVE: Energy Increase, Better Self Image, More BM'S
NEGATIVE: Cannot fall asleep, itchy on arms and legs, extreme chest pain that goes right through to my back
I am going to stop the product and just continue eating healthy and exercising.
Good Luck to All!:-P
Anyway, I am also doing Jenny Craig and walking 6 times a week, doing the yoga and strength training exercises on the Wii Fit and also doing lower ab work on the Bosu and arm work with dumbbells at night (twice a week). Now, I have dropped 24 pounds recently with just Jenny Craig and wanted something to give me a boost. I'm pretty sure this is going to help.
How anyone can be working out so much and taking this pill and not losing weight, I don't know, but from my past experience with weight loss programs, I would suggest you go back and journal everything you put into your mouth. Something's not right if you're not losing. Usually that's the problem, hidden calories that we eat without thinking. And let's face it, we can look at a product sometimes as an open door to eat a "little" more, cause it'll counteract. As for anyone who is working out a lot and not seeing results...you may need to eat more. You calorie level should be based on your activity level. If you're not eating enough, your body will hold onto fat to "survive". It's a known fact.
The only negative thing about this pill so far is the heartburn...it's the caffeine, it always has this effect on me. I will probably only ever take 2 in the am and 1 mid-day for that reason, but I am guessing that will be more than enough.
Toodles
I need loss weight and I know that the hydroxycut Max Wild berry is very good but my question is:
I have tireoid problem, can I used this product or not? Or can you send me the name of another product that I can use if I can't used this one?
Thanks so much
Telma Oliveira
And bad for your health I have proven it with 3
THREE! Hydroxycut Products, I committed to 4 weeks
of HEALTHY HEALTHY CLEAN EATING and Exercise 4/5 days a week and THIS IS SHIT! I Lost 1 LB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think if i wouldve done it naturally i wouldve already been at my goal weight, it is a waste of your $$$. THey have great ads and persuade you to buy them but they DO NOT work!!!
Well to everyone out there saying it doesnt work, your obviously lazy and did not read the instructions! I read all of these reviews and a lot of you out there just are NOT using this product correctly. You must drink A LOT of WATER, EXERCISE, and you have to change your DIET completely! I have been taking this pill for about a week now and i already see improvement. I started at 136 and have lost 2 pounds in the week i have taken it. I think this product is great if your using it correctly.
Hi
I wrote review earlier regarding not experiencing any side effects and was on a dose 1x 3 times a day
today I increased my doese for the morning to 2 capsules and I did experience nausea
This is a tip for any one who could be feel nausea as it worked for me, I just had a cup a tea with a fat free water cracker.........even if I was not hungry but it helped and now I feel all good....
Must say I skipped my lunch time dose as may be for now 2x 3 times a day could be strong so will go back to 1 x 3 times a day
another think the person at the sport store told me, if your exericising after every 5 mins you should intensify your work out for 1 minnute - say like i walk, so if I am doing a 20 mins walk I should split into 4 5 min sets. in every set for 1 minute I should intesnify my walk, put heaps more extra energy that way makes the fat burn faster..
Just some tips given to me and working for me, might help you if you in the same boat
All the best
#89 Pleased: You were on it for 6 months. Were you losing in the first two months?
If anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it!
Amanda 5-3-09
I\'ve lost 2 kg which is fantastic. It is likely to predominantly be water loss but it\'s enough to give me the motivation to stick it out for a while.
My only concern is the anxiety I experience from being hyped up on the caffeine. I am a chronic coffee drinker and have given up drinking coffee because of the caffeine content in the pill, but I still feel very anxious. I was on antidepressants earlier this year that gave me the same very anxious effect. I am taking 3 pills morning, 3 in the afternoon
I do agree that I am able to work out longer which is never a bad thing so will continue to complete my first course (20days worth) and review my results.
I know this product is excellent for some, we\'ve all just got to bare in mind that we\'re all different.
Will keep posted:-o
I am very happy with this product so far. For those who complain of headaches, make sure you drink tons of water. I suffer from chronic migraines and am still able to use this product. I have increased my water intake in order to eliminate these side effects. I have only been using the product for 8 days now. So far, 6 pounds has come off. It helps boost my energy right before my work outs. If you consume more than 1200 calories per day and don't work out, you might not see results as fast. So far, so good. It curves my appetite and cravings for sweets. It really helps you stay on a 1200 calorie diet. I'm a fan
In saying that obviously I am yet to see results, but I'm intellegent enough to know not to have a tantrum if i'm still 48kg tomorrow B-)
the first day, i felt like throwing up, could NOT sleep.... a little worried about trying it again..... is this common? should I take a lower dosage?
I think it does work . I have not put on any weight during the holidays and I EAT!
I have been taking Hydroxycut max for about a week and have lost 5 lbs. without changing anything. I also don't take the whole dose b/c I didn't really drink caffeine before and wasn't sure how I would react. I usually take 2 pills in the morning and 2 more around 2 pm. I get a little bit of jitters, but I think that's just because I didn't drink coffee or much soda previously. I have noticed my appetite is suppressed quite a bit. I don't excersize regularly, either, and was very excited that 5 lbs. just sorta fell off! Hopefully the 15 more I want to lose will do the same!
I haven't had ANY side effects. (Good or bad) I still feel like my normal self. Which is good and bad. Good because I don't want the headaches, nausea, or jitters. But bad because I was hoping for more energy. But I am still pretty tired.. It's okay though cuz I am still losing weight! I think I don't feel side effects because I've been drinking TONS of water.
Anyways, good luck everyone!:-D
Please, if somebody feels comfortable, describe your everyday routine.
Keep you posting for any results noticed.
I am planning to take the first serving after I wake up, have a breakfast after 30min, and go to the gym after 1 to 2 hours (depending on what I eat for breakfast). And I am planning to take the second serving after my workout and have a lunch after 30min.
So far, I’ve not experienced any side effects (even though it’s my second day). My appetite is at the lowest level, and I am so happy
Keep you posting for any results noticed. BTW my goal is to get 6pack abs for the summer. I am 22years old, 153cm height and 46.5kg weight. I just have to lose some stomach fat. I am visiting the gym 5 to 6 times a week, doing a 20-30min cardio and 1hour of weight lifting
Not sure what to think,I starting taking this about 6 days ago..the first couple of days were ok. I felt a little off though..like my balance was not quite right. After a couple of days it was better. When I started to take 2 pills at once, I starting feeling worse more off balance, crazy heartburn, and a little dizzy. Had to go home and lay down, got sick to my stomach and napped for 2 hours. I saw someone else felt tired...this is obviously not a good thing. Afraid to take anymore pills!!
i weigh 150 pounds so ill come to this site in a week and see how things go.
if not im gonna fucken return this side effect shit pills!!!
It does controll your appitite and I know that I have to eat but the tummy will feel better if you feed it alittle something. So far I love it and I still have no side affects. Like I said before read the directions several times. Good Luck to all.
I definitely felt the jitters, but not too badly. I also felt the chest pains, but neither of those things have lasted. It does raise my body temperature quite a bit though. I constantly seem to be hot.
Either way, I haven't weighed myself. It's not how much weight I lose that is important. What I WILL say, is that it most definitely gave me a LOT of energy. It made me WANT to be active, which is something I am not good at motivating myself to do.
In summation, if you need something to help you curb your appetite, and something to give you the drive to be active, this is a good thing to try!
Thanks
I have yet to read about anyone who isn't on a workout type plan who's lost any type of weight. Just an average everyday person who doesn't work out and just does normal daily activity.
Personally I've been taking this product for a month now and have not had any real weight loss from it. I have lost 5lbs but I think most of that was water weight and a change in diet. To be honest I don't think this product really does much for weight loss for those who don't workout religiously, and aren't on some sort of diet.
Just my opinion.
