This is my second day using it. I absolutely love it. I actually like the taste! It kind of tastes like a cross between Kool Aid and Crystal Light. I love the energy it gives me. I don't eat dinner until around 7 p.m. and I took it and had no problem going to sleep. I'm taking it, eating healthy, and exercising so when I do lose weight I know it will be a result of all of that. Like someone said earlier, I don't think you can just drink something and the weight is going to fall off. Anyway, I only bought one box, and I'll see how it goes for one week. If I don't have any weird side effects I will continue.

I have been on it for 3 days now and lost 4lbs. The taste is not bad; different but not bad. It does curb your appetite and I just take drink it before breakfast and lunch. Good Luck to all of you.

I started taking hydroxycut because my routine of exercise and dieting wasn't helping me to lose the weight I wanted to. I'm 21 years old, 5'6" and I weigh 150. I work out vigorously 5-6 times a week with a personal trainer, that involves running, sprinting, swimming, boxing and circuit training. My diet is a 1600 calorie diet, high in lean proteins, low in bad carbs and full of veggies. By no means am I over weight, and my BMI is normal. Due to all the exercise, my strength, flexibility and speed increased dramatically and my body fat percentage dropped significantly. I feel better than I ever have, but for some reason the love handles and layer of fat around my stomach and thighs didn't want to subside. Its like my body was just refusing to let it go. I'm not trying to be a body builder, but I'm 21 years old and I should feel confident in a bikini. I decided to try Hydroxycut to sort of...jump start my metabolism a bit, to try and get the fat burning ball rolling. And so far- It seems to be working. I take it twice a day and I feel no side effects. I'm highly sensitive to caffeine, and while this does make me feel energized, it doesn't make me feel cracked out the way coffee does. I continued with my usual diet (5-6 small meals a day), and my usual water consumption (about 3 liters of water a day) and I kept up my exercise routine. My mid-section is beginning to look and feel thinner (i've lost 3 inches to my waist so far), and my pants are buttoning a lot looser. I've got tons of energy to continue my work outs, and I never feel starved or deprived of food. I haven't had issues sleeping, and no jitters. The taste isn't awful, but very sweet. And sure it turns your mouth red, but I solved the problem by drinking it with a straw instead then my tongue is the only thing that turns red. I just rinse my mouth with some water and -problem solved.

For those of you who take this and expect for the weight to fall off, you're sadly mistaken. No such thing exists. Stop being lazy. Thats probably also why you feel so awful. This stuff is created to help you burn fuel, if you're just sitting around nothing will happen, and you'll feel jittery and have problems sleeping. You have to expend the energy its giving you. I only recommend taking this if you are doing the diet and exercise routine (seriously doing it, not half assed) and you aren't getting the results you want completely. remember, losing weight and getting in shape takes patience and time, nothing will happen over time and if it does, its probably incredibly detrimental to your health. This definitely works for me, and I say this as a college student majoring in kinesiology and exercise science. Im fully aware of the side effects, and the metabolic processes involved when consuming hydroxycut. In a few weeks, im going to begin cutting my dosage until I've weened my body off of it completely, but I will continue with what i've always been doing. You're never going to lose weight by sitting on your ass, trying one fad diet after another. You need to make a conscious, educated effort for yourself mentally and physically.

I wish there was an option to leave a thumbs up AND a thumbs down. I think the cons over-weigh the pros though. When I first opened the little packet I though, "Oh wow, it smells really good, I think I'll like it." WRONG. It tastes pretty bad. It's drinkable, but it tastes like powdery fruit punch. Now, if you like fruit punch you'll probably like it, but if you don't, I'd avoid this product, or at least the "Wild Berry" flavour I got. Also, it dyes my mouth red every single time!! It goes away after brushing my teeth, but it's still not very attractive. All that being said, I've lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks, with diet and exercise, so I don't know if the Hydroxycut is really helping or not, but it seems to be going well. I've had absolutely no side-effects, except for the horrible taste and bright red mouth. I'm almost done the box, so I've bought the pills this time because the drinks are really bad. I'd recommend Hydroxycut Advanced, but NOT the drink packets.

I just started using theses packets, at first i was hesitant but it is my 3rd day with hydroxycut packets and so far so good. You are suppose to drink 2 a day but because I am new to it I only drink one about thirty mins before i eat a meal or go to the gym because it does give me energy. The taste is pretty good, not BAD. The only negatives is that It does make my stomach hurt a little (like coffee would) but not even for long. I get dizzy randomly for a few seconds but of course any supplement will have SOME effects. Nothing drastic though, so far I am pleased! i only want to lose 15 lbs and tone up so this hopefully jump starts that! day 3 and i have lost only 2 lbs... we'll see!

I was taking the berry flavored diet packets for about a month. The days I didn't take it I felt very weak with no energy just to go on with my day. When I did take it, it would give me a ton of energy. I would be able to run for hours. Sometimes it wouldn't allow me to sleep. When it was wearing off I felt like it was crashing like the same affect with coffee. I became very grouchy and snappy. Now I do an all natural diet. I've lost 10lbs on it and I don;'t have to worry about liver issue

Today i have started to use this product, the berrry flavored one.
My sister started using this product and i noticed that she lost a lot of wieght.
Today i felt energized and it curbed my appitite.
Most people just need to drink more water daily that is why i think that people have been feeling dizzy or seeing dots?.. Even without using this product it is always important to not dehidrate yourself becuase that can lead to major health problems.
but i am confident that this will help me loose some wieght along with a healthy diet and daily exercise:)

I am 30 years old, 170ish pounds, 5'7" tall, and am a full-time working mother of 2 boys 4 years old and under. Like most mothers with that extra 15-20 pounds in the stomach area, I want to get rid of it. I have never before tried diet pills. I have been active in sports all of my life until I got married, got responsibilities, and couldn't think about caring for myself like I used to (tied down - no time). Hoping this will be a tool to help stick with exercise.
I have purchased this drink mix, and today, I injested only half of the bottle of this diet mix (still a bit leary of how it will effect me - recall on this product scares me a little). I was sleepy before I drank it, and it DID energize me -- cleaning the house! I'll try this again tomorrow at work in the morning in hopes that it will curb my appitite throughout the day. I like food a lot. My goal is to loose approx 20 pounds before upcoming anniversary. No jitters yet, and my body did get warm about 20 mins after I drank it. We'll see:)
