Hydroxycut - anyone used the caffeine free kind?

[purbeast0]

Since I've been eating better the past few weeks and I'm trying to cut up, I was thinking about throwing in some hydroxycut and seeing if it helps anymore than just doing my cardio and eating proper.

I know the normal stuff has a lot of caffeine in it, but I came accross the caffeine free version of Hydroxycut.. Since I've completely cut out diet sodas from my diet and drinking a lot of water now instead, I am trying to get as little caffeine as possible in my diet. I don't drink coffee or anything either. The only time I drink caffeine is in mixed drinks on the weekend maybe once or twice, if that.

So I'm wondering if anyone has tried this out. I used hydroxycut back in college when I was tiny (like 150lbs) and was just trying to get ripped, but now I'm like 192lbs and trying to get cut up, probably around 185lbs or so. I'm pretty lean as is but I want my abs to show more than they currently do. I have been doing cardio for the past 3 weeks and eating properly as well, and the results are showing.

But I'm just wondering if I should try this stuff out and incorporate it into my diet. I am pretty strict with my diet now, but I know when I took this stuff in college, taking the pills also helped me out mentally as far as eating properly. But as I said, I'm not struggling with eating properly at the moment.

So has anyone used this stuff, and if so, how did it work for you?

I tired the caffeinated kind. It made me poop a lot. A LOT. Sloppy too. I stopped taking it because of that, so I don't have any results, I only took it for about 2 weeks.

I didn't see those results when I took it back in college. Protein shakes usually makes me shlt all weird for a few days, but once my body gets used to it, it's back to normal.

gonna keep an eye on this thread as I've been considering taking some kinda fat-burner to get cut. i work out regularly and do cardio on a regular basis. I just dont know which pill is effective. From what I've heard though is that hydroxycut isnt the most effective.

I've used SAN Tight and got good results. I started cutting up a week ago and Im trying out Lipo-6.

These have caffeine in them? As I said that's something I'm trying to keep out of my diet. Ever since I cut out drinking 3 diet sodas a day, I've had more energy than when I was getting teh caffeine.

I use the caffeine free kind. Works pretty well for me. No side-effects or anything. Still gives a pretty good boost, just not an instantaneous one like a caffeinated version would.

 

[JS80]

uhh you want the ephedra free kind, which is replaced with caffeine.

 

[Kadarin]

If it has neither ephedra nor caffeine, what's the point? Placebo effect?

 

[krunchykrome]

How about San Sesamin? It doesn't have to be that brand, but I think sesame oil supplements are free of caffeine and they've gotten good reviews regarding cutting up.

I dunno, I don't even know exactly how these things work, which is part of the reason I'm asking about them.

The caffeine ones do not have ephedra in them according to the webpage.

Same question from me. I've been using hydroxycut hardcore on/off for the past few months and I honestly couldn't tell you if it's done anything or it's just my new habit of eating properly and getting back on my exercise kick but I was thinking about trying SAN Tight just to see what else I could do. Now that I've lost most of the excess weight I once had from being lazy I wanted to cut my abs out a bit.

About $20-$35. Muscletech makes good products, but I dont buy them because they're too expensive. There are cheaper products out there that are just as effective or better.

where do you buy your stuff from? $20-35 isnt that big of a loss if i try and decide i dont like it.

I buy my supplements from www.bodybuilding.com. once in a while, I'll order from www.bulknutrition.com.

EFA's, green tea capsules and morning cardio are staple for moving/avoiding fat. Good anti-oxidant properties too.

I used lipo-6 a while back, lost an extra 2 lbs in 6 weeks, or to put it another way, i was burning about an extra 200 calories a day. Huge caffine buzz until you get used to it.
Its not exactly ' i lost 15 lbs in 8 weeks' but thats for people going from sedentary to an hour of cardio a day + dieting.

If you use fitday.com regularly you should be able to tell if something works or not.

I have personal experience with a product called "Scorch" by "Man". Good company, great results and good reviews from others at bodybuilding.com I think it was. Worth Googling.

 

[purbeast0]

Okay guys so I'm about to place an order from 1fast400.com today because I'm running low on protein.

What would you all suggest as a fat burner type of product to work into my routing? I'm doing 3-4 days of cardio and eating well right now, so I figure I'll try one of these fat burners for a month or so and see if it helps at all. Seems like a lot of people are saying other stuff than Hydroxycut is the way to go, so I'm looking for some suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks to the government, all fat burners have been "pu$$ified".

hydroxycut

i assume it cuts out water in your body. you're probably not really losing weight in the traditional sense, just the water your body retains

 

[jlbenedict]

Looks like the government is cracking down on meth production, so I have noticed alot of suppliers are out of Vasopro (contains Ephedrine HCL).

If you can find Vasopro, get a bottle of that (real cheap also), a bottle of caffiene and a bottle of the 81 mg low dose aspirin. This will kick the $hit out of any of these so-called fat burners.

Yeah. I was going to get some Lipo-6 but I heard some bad stuff about guggelsterones so I thought I would just do the EC stack. The only problem is this seems to be a total pain in the ass. I can't find/don't know what to buy for the EC stack, and nobody will give a straight answer. I did find some vasopro on the internet but it was like $80. Screw that, i'm not willing to spend more than $30 for about a 6 weeks supply, because that's about only how long I'm going to cut for.

Please point me in the direction of where to buy this stuff.

 

[SVT Cobra]

Best fat burner's out there besides DNP or ECA stacks?


Stimulant: Lipo 6, gugglestrones are nothing to worry about when you are cutting, you are going to lose some muscle anyway
Another Stimulant MAN Scorch (thermogenic if you want to go that route)

Non Stimulant: Designer Nutrition's Melting Point

BTW sesimen does not really do anything by itself it is better to be stacked with something.

A new product is also Dialene which looks pretty good.

 

[purbeast0]

I don't know anything about these stacks. I just have seenthe ones that are 1 pill and you take dosages of them.

SVT you know anything about this EC stack that Allenwho is talking about?

Also what are the pros/cons of a stimulant vs. a non-stimulant ?

I'm kind of like Allenwho in the fact that I'll only be cutting for a few months.
