No problem.

No! Taking hydroxycut with creatine defeats the purpose! You're taking in water, then losing water! See what I mean! Need help reaching your fitness goals or have a question about fitness? Drop me an e-mail! Take care and God Bless! :)

What the fuck is wrong with you Tom. You preach what you can't teach. God Bless. People don't take creatine trying to induce water retention, taking hydroxycut will not lower your body water level. Read the contents, I don't see anything that would do that. There's some caffine in it and all that does it give you energy to burn more.

o.k. now taking hydroxy cuts and creatine together will not defeat eachother, hydroxy has caffeine, ephedrine, mau huang, and guarana. the only thing you have to worry is mixing mau haung and gaurana with a long term use has showed to put holes in your heart. hydroxy, only boost your metbolism and raises your body temp. and the mixture of these four ingredeints has shown to slow the process of carbs. from being stored as body fat, as well as burning the fat 600 % faster then a diet without it. so take them together because creatine doesnt put fat in your muscles it puts water which with the extra water you get greater muscle growth and the water you might store could be sweated out in 2 days. so i hate to tell you this tom that was a very inaccurate answer.

I took hydroxy cut! I think that it blows all that it made me do is sweat all the time! I would not tell people about it!!

The only reason you wouldnt want to take them together is that caffine can null some of the effects of creatine. Granted it will not make taking creatine usless but depending on the amount of caffine, some of the effects are decreased.

I think I would listen to Tom. Just my $.02 but I think that some people bodybuilding today are cheating theirselves out of good gains because they want to gain muscle without gaining some fat.

I have just started taking hydroxycut and creatine monohydrate. Should I adjust the dosage of either or both since I am taking them at the same time?

Why so many people want at the same time to take a fat burner and a product that makes them to get some pounds? Anon, if you take both of them you are doing NOTHING! Decide what cycle you want to do (bulking or dieting), and take each one of them seperately. Don't expect to get some muscle pounds and to lose fat at the same time, it will happen either the first or the second.
And besides that, Hydroxycut has Caffeine inside, and you should never take Creatine with Caffeine (Caffeine neutralizes the action of Creatine), cause you are doing again nothing!

John some people use Hydroxycut, Thermadrine, etc. to give themselves a kick in the ass before a workout.

By John ( - 194.30.248.182) on Wednesday, August 23, 2000 - 12:24 am: Edit

l agree with you zach, and l was one of the first guys here, that said Thermadrene is a very good product for killer workouts, but its very different to take just 1 capsule every time you have a weight training (ie 20mg of Ephedra, 3-5 times per week), instead of having a 6-8 week cycle, taking 80mg-100mg every day.

Doesn't caffeine make you retain water?.

By B ( - 38.26.142.236) on Monday, November 06, 2000 - 10:28 pm: Edit

Just the opposite Caffeine is a diuretic and being so, it gets rid of a lot of water.B

take you fat burner in am hour before eating and mid day. eat one hour after even if it is small meal. eat 6 small meals to feed muscle gains and burn fat.

OK. I have read all of the enteries and I am still confused. I started taking hydroxy cut and within 2 weeks cut 10 pounds. I lost 2 inches off my waist and was feeling awesome! Granted I wasn't packing on the weight like I wanted to. So I added Betagen and whey protein to my diet. And when I say diet I mean, I have cut out all pop, candy, icecream and all that. Eating 4-5 small meals per day, good protiens and some good carbs and a little fat. In one week I put on 10 pounds after starting the protiend diet and creatine. My chest and arms are getting noticably bigger and I am having killer work outs etc... My abbs are also getting more definition. However, I put a bunch of water weight back onto my waistline and it makes me feel like the hydroxy cut just takes the water out of my system. I lift with 2 guys who are pretty hard core and they both have conflicting views concerning the creatine hydroxy cut mix.

Please, I want people to write thier own personal experiences for or against this supplimental mix. I want experiences. Otherwise I figure I will just do one or the other.

Thanks a ton!

I have taken Hydroxycut alone, then i started taking creatine along with hydroxycut's. I lost approx. 20lbs with hydroxycut's alone. Now on the creatine & hydroxycuts cycle. I have not lost any additional weight i gained about 3lbs and i have increased in size and definition. I dont know thats just my experience with taking both at the same time. After this creatine cycle i will start another sometime without hydroxycut and i'll let you know.

Have a greatday!

Presently I am taking 5gm creatine effervesent
and hydroxyycut daily. Is it ok to bump up the
creatine to 10-15 per day.

Creatine and Hydroxycut.......
I have been taking both for 4 weeks now. I think they're working fine for me. I DO NOT take them within the same time period!!! That wigged me out!
Plus, I am taking liquid Creatine and you only take that right before a workout. I workout 4 mornings a week. On those mornings I DO NOT take hydroxycut until lunch time.
Creatine, in liquid form, is designed to give your muscles that extra bit of strengh and explosive push. That's why you take it right before.
So all that said to say, it's working for me.

And...........on the hydroxycut, I would not stay on that for more than 6 or 8 weeks without giving yourself a week or more off.

I've been taking Hydroxycut for two years straight and no ill effects.....what was I talking about? Oh yeah my favorite color is blue
its very preeetttty.

creatine promotes water retention in the muscle so you have to drink more water to stay hydrated. If you take hydroxycut at he same time, the diuretic effects of the caffeine and ephedrine will dehydrate you even more.

I've talked to a Muscletech rep. The people who make Celltech and Hydroxycut. They told me that there is no side effects nor does one counteract the other. The only thing the rep. told me was to take them 2 hrs. apart.

By Big Cat HH (Bigcatmod) (213.224.83.78) on Saturday, July 14, 2001 - 05:37 pm: Edit

Oh, yeah, and the rep would tell you otherwise ... why ? Oh, yeah, if you buy and take that stuff together you are filling his pockets, that's right. Common, muscletech blows and we've proven it many times and if the rep doesn't like it lets see him come on here and prove it. I mean patrick Arnold does it, why wouldn't muscletech ?

You're probably right that they might suck,but it's personal referrence. too some people,it might work and to the other half,it may not.

All I am saying is that some people swear by the product and some people don't. I myself is trying it to see if it works and if it doesn't,then I will move on. I don't mean no disrespect to you.
I appreciate your opinion.

Question...
I've heard that it's o.k. to take in caffine, then wait 3-4 hours and take your creatine (I'm a coffee drinker). Is this true?

What's the deal with Taraxatone? Will it have an effect on my mass if I take it with Creatine? Also, what's a good fat burner that doesn't have serious side effects such as the ones associated with ephedrine products?

By Odea (198.30.212.127) on Wednesday, August 15, 2001 - 11:00 pm: Edit

It is pointless to take Creatine and Hydroxycut at the same time. Because Hydroxycut has caffiene. Research has shown that for the best way your body can utilize creatine you should totally avoid caffiene. Caffiene offsets the absorbtion and affects of creatine.

If you take Hydroxycut 30 mins before a workout as many people do, then workout for, say 90 minutes, then take creatine, I would think that most of the caffeine in the Hydroxycut would be out of your system.

By sean daddy (207.112.162.23) on Thursday, September 20, 2001 - 09:06 pm: Edit

When you take something that has caffine in it you reverse the effects of creatine. the local trainer told me that.
