Hardcore Elite - 100 Rapid-Release Thermo Caps - Energy & Focus - for Men & Women - 50 Servings

Simply put this item works if used properly, however to leave it at just that would serve as an injustice to both the product and the potential customer. Because of that I plan to explain my thoughts on the product brought on by using it first hand. However, before going into the detailed specifics of the product I want to emphasize the key words in the first sentence "this item works if used properly". By that I mean you have to exercise, you have to be smart with your diet, and you MUST drink plenty of water (more on the importance of this later). I will go over all three of these points but first you must realize that not everyone will have the same results. The results that one person got in no way guarantee you the same or even similar results. Each person is different and therefore will receive results that differ, sometimes only mildly so and in other cases quite drastically. In my case this product worked and in order to help you understand why, I will give you a bit of back round on my physical condition. I'm a young college aged male who has been in good - great shape throughout my life due to sports providing consistent exercise. Once high school ended I maintained by fitness by regular weight lifting and Intramural sports while at school. Although I am in good shape I do carry around some fat (10-13% body weight) due in most part to my diet which could certainly improve. While I am able to put on muscle I do have some difficultly taking off fat (who doesn't) so I decided to try Hydroxycut Elite. It is important to note that there is no true short cut to burning fat (sorry if that statement is hard to come to grips with... it was for me). Through countless years of evolution the human body has adapted to maintain fat stores extremely well, its only in the past few centuries that procuring enough food to prevent starvation has been eliminated as a problem for the majority of people in the developed world. Therefore the only tried and true way to cause your body to burn fat (that it desperately wants to save and store, similar to hoarders on TLC) is by burning more calories then you take in. Hydroxycut doesn't really target/burn fat directly but it allows your body to more easily burn off fat. Ingredients such as caffeine raise metabolism, and stimulates you to be active. This is the main reason why Hydroxycut has the potential to work. However it will only work if you carry out your side of the bargain. First off when taking this product you need to exercise. I personally would lift weights 2-3 times a week and get in cardio by playing sports at least twice a week. This might be too much or too little exercise for you depending on your physical condition but it worked for me. Personally I didn't feel any rush of energy as some people noticed, in fact the only difference in terms of energy/alertness I noticed was my inability to take my afternoon nap when I took two pills. However regardless if you feel energized or not by this product you need to exercise to allow yourself to get results. Secondly you need to be smart with your diet. If you eat pizza and ice cream all day while taking this product chances are you will get no results besides a larger pant size. Hydroxycut does curve your appetite (an effect I did notice) and there is a good chance you will find yourself wanting less and eating less food. Needless to say this greatly helps in terms of burning more calories then you consume. Its important that you eat relatively healthy as well so your body continues to function normally. Fruits and veggies are great choices and some servings of lean meat help too. Lastly and most importantly you must hydrate! I can not stress this enough, you must drink a lot of water. We have all heard that its recommended to drink 8 cups of water a day, well when taking this product I recommend you increase that to at least 10-12 cups a day. Chances are you are like most people and don't drink your 8 cups a day, well if that's the case I highly encourage you to drink more water. This product does cause you to sweat a fair amount. In fact many people including myself lost a good deal of weight in the first week of using this product (I lost around 4 pounds). Well unfortunately most if not all that initially weight lost is water weight, and you will need to quickly replenish that if you hope to start burning some fat. If your still reading this I assume you are serious about trying this item so I will reveal my personal results. I started this product about three months ago and was weighing anywhere from 170-175 depending on time of day/recent meals. After these three months I am now around 165-167 depending on the time of day and have added a good deal of muscle from lifting weights. The vast majority of the weight I lost was indeed fat and the results can be clearly seen in my stomach and legs, my abs are now more cut and the muscles in my legs are more clearly defined. I continue to exercise regularly and drink plenty of water as well as improving my diet slightly. I have been off this product for just over two weeks and have maintained these numbers. Therefore I conclude that Hydroxycut did work very well for me. If you put in the work I am confident that you could see similar results and possibly even better ones. I have had no withdrawals after using this product and would be willing to try it again if I feel the need arises. I would additionally be glad to answer any questions you have. My usual routine: Two pills in the morning with a half a bottle of water before and a full bottle after (continue to hydrate throughout day). Would cycle 3 days on and one day off. On days that I knew I wouldn't be able to exercise I would take just one pill or coincide it with my off day. I have cut out soda entirely, I drink almost exclusively water although sometimes I mix protein powder with 1% milk. Good luck with your own weight loss goals!

From the first capsule, Hydroxycut Hardcore Elite struck with the precision of a well-planned operation. Its effects were immediate yet controlled, a calculated surge of energy that propelled me through my most demanding workouts with the efficiency of a seasoned operative. The formulation reads like a tactical dossier: every ingredient meticulously chosen, every dose calibrated to maximize performance without compromise. I have tested many supplements in the field, some failing under pressure, others proving unreliable when stakes were highest. Hydroxycut Hardcore Elite, however, performs like a trusted ally in the theater of fitness—consistent, formidable, and unyielding. Fatigue becomes a distant adversary, endurance rises, and focus sharpens as if each capsule has mapped the terrain of my body with military precision. For those who demand results without theatrics, this is a supplement that delivers, mission after mission, and earns my unreserved five-star commendation.

I'm BACK!!!! Its a lkng read, you can skip down to my recommendation last paragraph. ok, so I've been using this product for awhile now. I wrote a day 2 review, and a follow up. At first, upon taking the pills I was in EXTREME stomach pain and diarrhea. I mean I thought I was dying. After about a week or two, the pain went away. Have I seen weight loss results? Yes, I'm not sure if it's the diet pills or me working out/eating health conscious. But I have dropped down about 2 pant size. I'm a make by the way. I've purchase belts because I can't fit any pants now. They're too big. YEP YEP. Although, I've been a pescatarian (eat only seafood, no red meat, pork or chicken) for about 3 years now. Also I run 3 miles about 3 times a week and do hourly weight training about 3 times a week as well. Again, not sure if it's the pills or my workout plan. I was at a weight of about 205 lbs but after increasing my weight resistance now I'm at 213 lbs which I HOPE is muscle mass lol Energy? Uh YES! I work a 3rd shift job and I've been known to take 2 of these when I really didn't get enough sleep and need to stay awake and alert at work. And yes it works wonders! But you must stay hydrated & eat regularly. The amount of caffeine in this is NO JOKE, I get the jittery hands and really hot/sweaty I do not take these EVERY day. I only take them about twice a week. Other than that I just stick to my regular workout plan. MY RECOMENDATION: I recommend this product for people who need that extra enegry/boost to fuel their work out. The individual who want that little extra push to get "the gains" (hahaha can't believe I said that) or to drop the pounds. This is really extreme enegry! Not trying to be cliche but this is for the knowledgeable health/fitness people who understand that this is an AID to help your workout. Meaning YOU STILL HAVE TO WORKOUT This product is not for the people looking for a quick fix. You must eat right and work out in order to see results. Ultimate this is just another ENERGY product that also increase your metabolism.

This weight loss pill isn't for everyone. It's powerful which can make people feel sick or it can also cause bowel issues. However, if your tolerance to caffeine is strong, this is one of the best diet pills you can take. If you take half the dosage, one pill instead of two, it gives you enough energy to get through a morning like you had two cups of coffee. It also mildly reduces your appetite at one pill. However, if you take the full dosage, two pills in the morning and two in the afternoon, it will seriously help you lose weight. I've been on it for two weeks now and with exercise and a cleaner diet, I am losing three pounds of fat a week. What's nice about Hydroxycut is it helps cut cravings so you can eat the right foods throughout the day. If you eat high fiber foods like apples, oatmeal, flax, etc throughout the day, you won't crave foods when Hydroxycut wears off at night. Once adjusted to the full dose, which Muscletech tells you to work your way up to it slowly, you'll have a ton of energy throughout the day to be more productive. Exercising and losing weight also gives you more energy too which creates a synergistic effect on your life. There are no magic pills that will make you lose fat without changing your diet or activity level. But there are pills that do help people lose weight and Hydroxycut is it. It's great for people who naturally tend to gain weight easily- there are those lucky few who can eat whatever they want without gaining an ounce. It's great to feel like I am getting in shape again. It's been over a decade since I took exercise and diet seriously and people are noticing. But what matters most is I am noticing the difference, and now I find myself organizing closets, cleaning the garage, writing more, and simply doing better in all areas. Hydroxycut doesn't do any of that for you, but it does help you get there. Muscletech has been making very high-quality nutritional supplements for a very long time now and is a brand you can trust with your body and money.

This review comes from somebody whose been on and off hydroxycut products for years. For better and for worse. I love that hydroxycut (specifically this brand of hydroxycut - elite with green coffee extract) gives me a huge stock of energy to get through workouts I wouldn't have the energy or endurance to get through naturally. Its so awesome to be able to keep up with other people when running, hiking and power walking. I hate to admit this but to be honest, I've always been lazy, above average in size and a big eater. So when I do get serious about dieting and exercising, I need a little something extra; which is where hydroxycut comes into my life. Its also a great appetite suppressant. Take 2 pills before a meal and you'll see what I mean. I literally can't finish a full portion of any meal Im given at mealtimes (and i dont just mean huge, blown-out restaurant portions either) I used to be able to really pack away food but hydroxycut helps me eat much less. .... At the same time, you can VERY EASILY overdose on this stuff. Even after weeks of being on hydroxycut if i take more than the recommended dosage (5 a day instead of the recommended max of 4 a day/taking 2 doses of pills too close together, etc...) I still fall victim to overdose. I dont think its anything I will personally ever conquer. If you are sensitive to caffeine at all, I would tell you to stay far away from hydroxycut. It can be quite scary. Believe me from my horrible experiences, caffeine overdose is NOTHING to play around with. In addition to giving you dangerous internal side effects like irregular heartbeat and liver damage, it can be an extremely uncomforable experience. Ive had jitters, light headedness, nausea, frequent urination, anxiety attacks and once it even got so bad I had numbness and tingling in my limbs. I was so frightened by one instance (i had cold sweats) I had to call my sister who is an RN. She really dug into me hard on how stupid I was for being regularly on hydroxycut because of how potentially dangerous it can be. I've firmly decided this last purchase of hydroxycut from amazon will be my last. My doctor told me that prolonged use could lead to high blood pressure and heart arythmia (irregular heart beat) and liver damage. Im showing signs of heading in that direction. To be fair, its not all hydroxycut's fault - It doesnt help that I used to be way in to energy drinks and binge drinking (alcohol). So definitely dont use this forever and ever. In summation, i think its great to use while STARTING to diet and establishing a workout regiment - and hopefully that change will eventually lead into a naturally healthier lifestyle of food moderation and exercise. I dont think you should continually buy bottles and bottles of hydroxycut. It shouldn't be your crutch. If possible, buy a bottle and try to stretch it over the course of months; only using it when you feel like you really need a boost. Don't take this product then think its ok to pig out on junk food because it could give you horrific problems like nausea and diarrhea or the aforementioned unpleasant overdose symptoms (again, i know from experience) If you are on hydroxycut and are buying more, I would consider weening off of the stuff in the near future. Your heart health is WAY WAY more important than losing a few pounds.

I use this website for basically everything I need, because it's so much cheaper. I can't even tell you how many things I have purchased, and not one of them I felt was worth leaving a review about. That being said, I believe this product is worth giving my input on. I ordered this form of Hydroxycut because so many buyers recommended it. I am usually pretty skeptical about weight-loss pills because I have only ever heard of how "bad" they are for you. I am a pretty active person, and I have never actually used any pills to help me lose weight... until now. No matter how much I work out or watch how many calories I consume, I never seem to make progress that is noticeable. I really was excited to try this out, even though I was uneasy about the side-effects other people mentioned. -On my first day of taking one pill, I definitely noticed an energy boost. It was GREAT. I am a coffee drinker, and the amount of caffeine I normally consume had nothing on how this made me feel. I was able to run for a much longer time and actually go at a decent pace. I don't always do core, but I felt so good after my run that I did LOTS of core. I even did a half hour of Zumba. I didn't really notice a huge change in my appetite, I was still very hungry after my workout... which is normal for me. I do however usually work on my arms, and I was able to many more reps and I could have even kept going. I felt pretty much the same by the second day of taking one pill... maybe a little less "hyper". -By the third day, I was pretty pumped to move up to two pills. I didn't feel a huge change in the amount of energy I had, I would say my endurance has gone up though. I was able to run 3.5 straight miles around the track, which normally I have to take a break after 1 to 1.5 miles. It was a GREAT feeling! I finished my workout with 25 minutes on my Bowflex Treadclimber, which for those of you that haven't tried it, kicks my butt! It's a very intense workout, and I was just able to push myself and keep going. this day I didn't feel AS hungry, but I keep drinking LOTS of water! Which is very important. I also did the same thing on the fourth day. This review is a little short, since I'm only on my fifth day and haven't tried taking two more pills yet. Honestly, I don't think I need to do the two pills 2X a day! I have had such an increase in my stamina and performance, I'm extremely happy with where I am at. I have lost 4 pounds and it hasn't even been a full week of taking Hydroxycut. I cannot wait to see how many more pounds I will lose! *FOR THOSE THAT ARE WORRIED ABOUT JITTERS AND RESTLESSNESS: It all depends on the type of person you are! If you are a daily coffee drinker, like myself, I wouldn't worry about it at all. As long as you follow the directions and how many pills to take! I found that all of the negative side-effects people were mentioning, made me nervous and almost expect a bad reaction. If you go into this and take a pill, DON'T wait for the jitters and what-not. I would recommend just drinking a glass of water (at least 8 oz), and jump right into your workout. It helps take your mind off of it if you tend to be worrisome. If you're seriously trying to lose weight, I would absolutely recommend this product. Even if you just want to tone up a bit, try it out! In my opinion, you have nothing to lose! Except body fat ;) Hope this review helped!!

WARNING: This post will be TMI.....**Keep in mind this was MY experience with this product & I'm sure my issue wasn't entirely brought on by it, but I saw a very bad change to my body regardless....I actually really liked this stuff, sad to be posting this** I started using these pills little over a month ago. Let me start by saying these pills worked pretty well, I personally needed 2 at a time to see a difference, but rarely needed another one later. Oddly enough, I didn't have the jittery issues at all ( I love my coffee though). BUT Like others have said, had MAJOR issues with nausea & throwing up afterwards though. Didn't matter if I took them as recommended (empty stomach) or EVEN if I had eaten like 20 min prior. I used them for my workouts but figured out I Ihad to eat something with it. That fix took most of the issues away, but lessened the effect & took longer for it to kick in. At that point though the benefits outweighed the negatives. Now the WARNING.....I take magnesium daily, added bonus is it helps keep my bowels (like I said, TMI) very regular. When I started taking this stuff, I noticed my magnesium wasn't helping as much & bM's were changing. Nothing else had changed (still same bottle of magnesium, same diet, etc), but I just dismissed it. As the month progressed, I still was taking my normal DAILY dosage of magnesium but had noticeable constipation, stomach cramps & bloating, although I dismissed all of this as hormonal (I'm sure some of it was). Fast Forward to this New Years weekend.....Fri I was woken up about 4am from SEVERE pain, pressure & bloating in my entire abdomen & pelvic area. I could barely walk from the pain let alone even stand up straight. Laying down flat was excruciating.... I was in such bad shape I almost passed out just trying to walk to the bathroom. At the same time, I also had my period, which gives me nice cramps too, so I figured it was constipation & hormones giving me hell & was trying to ride it out with my heating pad, OTC meds (didn't touch the pain) & bed. The next day, after I couldn't handle the pain anymore, hubby & I went to URGENT CARE. We were told by the nurse & Dr that constipation can be a common side effect for this kind of product. They sent me home with a couple things then told me to come back if needed. Thank God it worked, I have never been so elated to poo in my life (except after childbirth!). Only took another 15 hours. I'm finally now feeling pretty good again, lingering issues but nothing I can't handle. Roughly 4 days of hell......Let me tell you, I can tolerate a pretty high level of pain, but this one had me crying. I'm certain it was partially from my period cramps too but this was worse than the pain from my c-sec. Like I said, nothing else in my daily routine changed except for this product. Not sure why, but there is something in it that decimates my intestines & colon. PLEASE PAY CLOSE ATTENTION to ANY SIDE EFFECTS - even if they seem small.

WOW, That's all I can say! This is the first day I have taken this. After 30 minutes to 1 hour after taking this, I feel energized like the energizer bunny. I've been feeling tired all the time but have so much energy it's ridiculous, now. Just what I needed. I have been feeling the heat too, especially on the back of my neck. I definitely recommend this. Will try to update after a few days use.
