Hydroxycut BAD!!

I read an article this past weekend that I've been meaning to comment on and have been pretty busy until now. It was an article that stated the FDA is urging consumers to stop using any Hydroxycut products.

Anyone who has had problems losing weight, knows what Hydroxycut is. It is the "super fat-burning" supplement that comes in a pill that will solve all your weight loss problems. People have been running to buy these products, while I have urged my clients to avoid them at all costs.

I had not heard many positive things about Hydroxycut when it came out, but it was tough to convince people it was bad. I'm telling them not to pop these pills, when the alternative to weight loss is...gasp... exercise and eating properly. I was fighting an uphill battle.

But, now the FDA is on board saying these products can be hazardous to your health. Some of the problems that have been linked with Hydroxycut products are liver damage leading to liver transplants, seizures, cardiovascular problems, and kidney failure.

Is trying to lose 20 pounds of fat quickly, really worth all that??

I'm just the messenger, but Hydroxycut is bad. Go ahead and google it and read up on it yourself. The much safer and surer process to weight loss is following a proper nutrition plan and exercise. When people can finally accept that, then it will make the weight loss battle a heck of a lot easier.
