so here are my thoughts on hydroxycut. i took it a while back with the old formula and it worked great...yes i got jitters etc at first but once your body gets used to it it works great! also, if the jitters are too much for you instead of starting off as directed by taking 2 before pills with water in the morning and 2 in the afternoon just take one and one...then ease into 2 and 2. I am thinking of starting to take the pill again...I have gained WAY too much weight and need a little jump start to my weight loss. Yes, there have been reports of liver damage etc...but that will happen with too much of any pill...whether a diet pill, advil or whatever. Just take it safely...do not use it for more than 6 months, remember to drink PLENTY of water. And NEVER rely on a pill for weight loss. Look to it more as a jump start to weight loss...once you have loss half of what your goal is...even more...keep dieting and exercising. Once you reach your goal...keep a healthy lifestyle and you will never have to resort to a diet pill again...unfortunately I have not lived my my own thoughts and words because frankly I was young and stupid and living unhealthy...now that I am older I listen to my body...my body no longer loves junk food as it once did...sure its yummy every now and then...but the stomach ache is really not worth it....good luck everyone on your endeavours!
