Can someone please tell me a supplement that won't make me gain pounds, just get me ripped fast? It doesn't have to be like Creatine, just a brand name of something that works. For example- MuscleX (probably not even a real supplement)

Thanks!

Definatley hydroxycut I have used hydroxycut and found it to be the best way to shed fat around muscles. It works and it works fast to the only thing is that is expensive, you might go with xenadrine which is cheaper but is slightly less effective.

Thanks, Anonymous! Can I buy these products at my local GNC?

Sure can... Hydroxycut is great! It reduced my bodyfat into the single digits! Xenadrine is OK. The thing with hydroxycut is that it really makes you sweat really bad when you do morning cardio and then during the day, you pee a lot at first. After a few weeks, your body will adapt, and you won't pee as much, but you will still sweat a ton! All my female friends use it and they have said the same thing. Buy it--it works!

Hydroxy cut is a waste of money..costs too much for its effectiveness. The best fat burner on the market today is lipo-kenetix by sytnrax. I took it and worked extremely well, better than when i took hydroxycut. It also doesn't get you as wired because it contains nor-ephederine, not ephederine, and the yohimbine allows for greater fat mobilization.

Hydroxycut doesn't get you wired either. Most of my female friends have lost anywhere from 15-25 lbs. the first month on the stuff. And what they told me was that Hydroxycut made them sweat more throughout the day and made them go to the restroom more. Hydroxycut is great if you're looking to lose water; however, if you want a good energy booster, I would try Ripped Fuel Extreme or Dymetadrine Extreme by AST.

yeah, hydroxycut works, but it's just too damn expensive, try a generic version like hydro-ripped
they may not work as quickly but you'll save a lot of money in the meantime.

I tried Hydroxcut for a month and saw no results and none of the effects that you all speak of and I followed the instructions on the bottle.....Have I made a mistake in my judgement? Let me know...Adamstang@aol.com

thanks

Jason try some Clenbutrx from vpxsports.com and if you like what you see buy it undergroundsports.com it's much cheaper there... now it's not very cheap but it works very well to loose the weight...
Just trying to help

why dont you run a little ?

ECA,ECA,ECA...All products I have tred work about the same. The First law of thermo-dynamics cannot be thwarted! Energy in = Energy out, period...If you take in more calories then you burn..wah lah! Fat! If you take in less than you burn..wah Lah! less fat! Now all the suppliments in the world cannot change this fact. Hydroxycut or xenadrine or whatever all work basically the same. They all contain the same three "magical" ingredients. Ephedrine, Caffeine, and aspirin. Now before everyone calls me stupid and tells me how bad my spelling is...Ephedrine is also called Ma-Huang, Caffeine is called all sorts of things usually guarna, and the aspirin is called white willow bark, and gee the makers can still say "all natural herbal ingredients" The best thing about this combo isn't that it makes you burn more calories during the day (it might do this) but it is a great appetite control cocktail. You just aren't as hungry, and it gives you great energy for your workouts. I would suggest a 10-1 ratio of caffeine to ephedrine. I take 200mg of caffeine and 20mg of ephedrine at a time...one before my workout and one a little later when I begin to feel lethargic. The only problem I ususally have is if I decide I have to have a double white chocolate mocha during the day and then I get irratable and grouchy, or sometimes my blood pressure gets too high on leg day, especially doing squats. I use a brand called thermo-pro from Pro-lab. I like it because it has all three ingedients and I get the full 20/200 with Aspirin in one tablet, ok, I got a great deal on it and bought a case! On days when 20/200 is just too much or I have laid off the stuff for a couple of weeks, I use a half dosage brand like ripped fuel (two tabs= 20/200) and just take on capsule (10/100). Ripped fuel, the lasst time I bught it) didn't have aspirin, so I take a chewable kids aspirin with it and it works better. Now I have friends who complain that Thermo pro makes them edgy, they take pyro-clen. I believe its by syn-trax. I used pyro-clen for quite awhile and it was real bargin as one tab gave 20/200. It went off the market for awhile due to patent probs, but now its back out but more spendy. well enough rambling...For those with stimulant sensitivity probs, try nor-ephidrne, I have friends that love it. Syn-trax makes a adipokenetics, good bargin I think...Enough!!!! Good Luck, Eric

Hi everyone,

Wondering if theromogenics can cause acne conitions. I have started to take Xenadrine and notice a breakout on my chest; I've never had acne there before. Anyone else experince this or have information to confirm/dispute this? I do not take any other supplements except protein shakes (i.e. no roids). Thanks in advance

By BigJ HH (66.68.101.113) on Monday, July 02, 2001 - 08:16 am: Edit

no..thermogenics do not affect hormone levels and therfore should not affect acne in anyway

Can you take ZMass Pm and Xenadrine at the same time? I've heard that because they are designed for different things they counteract each other.
If so how long should I be off Zmass Pm for before using Xenadrine?

I have been taking Hydroxycut for 4 weeks and have lost 15 pounds and can tell a huge difference. I think the key is to do a lot of cardio with it. Everytime I run after the first mile I get this surge of energy and feel like I could run forever. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!
