[tommymac]

Anyone have any experience or knowledge of this stuff or if its even worth it. I ma going to be trying to get back into a good workout/cardio routine as well as tweaking the diet ( I was a complete slob this weekend) and was wondering if this stuf fmay be helpful.

It helped my brother in law. Every time I went to buy it I was talked into buying something else. I heard Lipo 6 and Ripped Cuts are good. I'm thinking of trying one of them soon.

[Curb]

I tried it a few years back and lost about 15# with it. I actually lost more weight from just dieting then I did from using that stuff

[tommymac]

Anyone heard about any bad side or adverse effects of it.

A pink one! With purple hearts! :D And don't forget to take pics! :dthumb:


To your original question, it does give your heart a beating.

And you're not old! Thirty-ten isn't old at all! Unless you're already taking Geritol. :lol:

[tommymac]

I am on the fence about using it right now. I may work up my cardio a bit first so I can lower my bp and resting heart rate, and may give it a go for amonth then get off of it. Def dont want to use it long term.

Wade used to take NO-Xplode with good results and he's sensitive to alot of stuff. He couldn't take the hydroxycut or anything similiar but he could take that. IIRC, it's a muscle builder too. I don't know much about it. Maybe one of the other guys do. Just thought I'd throw that one out there since Wade had good results with it.

I must have a sensitive heart because it totally messed with mine.

Yeah, what he said. About six years ago when I decided to get back in shape, I hit the gym regularly and took some hydroxycut. The damn thing made my heart race like a motherfucker. So I quit taking it but just kept on working out. Lost a few inches around my waist. But then I moved down closer to the beach...add the bars and the babes. That was all she wrote with the get-in-shape plan.:sorry:

Forget taking ANY weight loss supplement. Stick to doing cardio and stop feeding your face. Diet and exercise will cure ANY weight problems. You ever see pics of fat prisoners from Auschwitz?

[Homeslice]

Diet and meal timing are more important than shit like that.

Plus, green tea accomplishes most of what that shit does, with no side effects.

[Ninjakel]

clean up your diet first.

get a good schedule with the gym.

cardio is great and all, but you'd also need some lifting in there too.

seriously, losing weight is like 75% diet and 25% working out

[jtemple]

My diet is clean, and I tried Hydroxycut. All it accomplished for me was constipation and a lighter wallet. Don't waste your money.

Never had any problems with it.... but never got results with it either...

[Avatard]

I've always had the most success with the "Take the fucking fork out yer mouth" diet.

[umairhashmi]

Anything made by Muscletech is generally extremely overpriced. Go to bodybuilding.com and check out other stimulant based fat burners that cost a fraction of that and work just as well.

[Apoc]

It was great when it was full of ephedra, now those supplements are a bunch of crap...

Push the fuck away from the table...

That's the honest truth right there :dthumb:

Reduce your calorie intake to below what you burn each day and you lose weight, plain and simple. Exercise and eat less.

Back when I was in highschool I went to a gym that was the steroids capital of the southeast. Anyways it was a haven for bodybuilders and such. Someone squatting 700lbs didn't draw any attention, cause it was just a normal routine for most.

Anyways I remember when it first hit th scene. The gym people loved it but figured out what it consisted of quickly. Instead of buying the Hydroxycut they'd take (can't recall fully) Ephedrine, Aspirin, and Caffiene. The Ephedrine curved your appetite so you ate less, Caffiene kept you geeked up so you burnt more energy, and I forgot what the Aspirin did. But they'd take those three pills instead of the hydro. With many states banning Ephedrine I'm not sure what they use now. Nothing in it makes you loose weight faster as in taking fat off of your body. You just burn more from doing more.

But any generic brand will work as well.

Best thing to do is pick up a physical hobby that you enjoy. When I would mountain bike for about an hour or two every other day, it was about impossible for me to put on weight. I went from a 36 to a 34 in no time. I didn't alter my diet at all. I still ate fatty burgers or chicken wings at Taco Mac every thursday. I ate out Friday and Saturday night with waffle house in the morning on Sunday (To cure the hangover from all the beer I drank). And ate fast food everyday since I was always on the road.

If i'd just cut the crap out of my diet I'd lose alot of weight. I live a really active lifestyle with hockey, and then golf/tennis on the side. I just like to eat....

I worked with some guys that did the whole hype up on ephedrine and caffine before working out and training for ufc. Crazy shit. They go to basically a "dealer" that sells discontinued ephedrine pills. Or if you know where to look, online. I remember them taking the oldschool Stacker yellowjackets at work and they would go nuts.....

They banned ephedrine in Georiga. But I got a bottle a couple years ago in Alabama. Infact cleaning out my room I found it the other day and it's sitting next to me. Cheap as hell there.

When I busted my spleen I went in weighing 230lbs and 6days later weighed 180lbs. 6days of ivy feed and morphine is where it's at.

hmm could be on to something there, I dont need my spleen and am sure it weighs a pound or 2.

I tried Hydroxycut once ... made my heart race and gave me the jitters ... BAD BAD BAD

[NeonspeedRT]

Since they can't use ephedrine in Hydroxycut anymore, they use caffine. So basically caffine pills is all Hydroxycut is nowdays. They actually make a caffine free version as well, but i'm not sure how that works.

I used it for a few months. It didn't help me loose any weight, but it did give me a good amount of energy through the day. The big thing is you have to drink alot of water with it. I researched it before I took it and I found tons of posts and reviews of people complaining about intense headaches from not drinking enough water with it.

From my experience, it's not really worth it. But if you need an energy boost to start working out and exercising, it may help you out there.

Reduce your calorie intake to below what you burn each day and you lose weight, plain and simple. Exercise and eat less.

Just make sure you don't drop below a certain point (I think it's 1200 for women and 1800 for men). If you simply cut calories drastically, you're body will go into "starvation" mode and then when you do start eating again, your body will store as much fat as possible. Exactly the opposite of what you want. Weight training helps because muscle will help burn calories.

So, you want a combination of a good diet (proper percentages of protein, carbs, and good fat), weight training, and cardio training. Eat healthy foods. Get on a nutrition plan, not a diet. And forget the BS shortcuts like hydroxycut.

You have to increase your intake very slowly over time to avoid shocking your system into more weight gain. There's no magic calorie number for men & women, though. Everyone is different. You have to find your own sweet spot.

I agree with that. I was just stating not to drop below a certain number. I think I stated the correct minimums for daily maintenance, but could be off by a bit. Plus, everyone's body composition is completely different. Some can eat complete crap, but as long as they work out, they'll be fine. Others can just barely look at an Oreo and gain 5 pounds (I exaggerate, but you get the point).

[tommymac]

the other problem is your body can go into a ketotic state (kind alike with the atkins diet)

I kinda hit rock bottom last night so my motivation is now very high so I am hoping by just a lot of cardio and kickboxing I can do what I did last year and then some.

Some can eat complete crap, and they dont gain a pound.

Thats my best friend....
