One thing people don't take into consideration when they are pondering using this supplement is that its metabolic enhancing effects are only temporary. They only work while you are taking the pills. Besides your body eventually getting used to the raised metabolism and not responding in the same way, once you stop taking these pills your metabolism will just go back to the way it was before and you will probably gain all the weight back eventually. That is, any pounds you actually lost DUE to exclulsively Hydroxycut.
If I thought my metabolism was forever going to stay elevated and I was going to burn calories forever like the Energizer Bunny, well, that would be one thing. But the pills are expensive, there are many risks, and they won't work forever unless you plan on taking them forever (HOPEFULLY NOT).
I am not altogether innocent when it comes to Hydroxycut. My husband had some extra pills and, I will be honest, I was curious. So I took one before I did Cardio Kicks for ENERGY. My heart was beating so fast I thought it was going to burst out of my chest and by the end of the very hard to get through workout, my body was all red due to increased blood flow?? I know the pills do something to your circulation. I took them a few more times before my cardio workouts and noticed that my workouts actually seemed HARDER due to the fact that my heart was racing. Then I did CK without pills and it was SO MUCH easier. So I was less than enamored.
I would take these pills every now and then for energy if I didn't just have coffee....that is also a hell of a lot cheaper. BUT I would never take them consistently for weight loss. It won't last forever!!!! Besides, sometimes you "think" it is the Hydroxycut that took the weight off you, but you are still exercising and probably more intensley. Many times, it really is not the Hydroxycut that made the difference, it really is other things in the person's lifestyle that they failed to realize.
Just my honest opinion...Janice
