Hydroxcut and Xenadrine are very similar products. I remembered
when i first tried Xenadrine, i've compared it to Hydroxcut also.
Ingredients are essentially the same. The faster heartbeat is due
to the stimulants. If i'm not mistaken, one capsule of this equates
to a few cups of Expresso. If ppl can bear the consequences, i
don't why one should avoid. I only advise against it because of the
side effects. Should consult a neuropsychiatrist if anyone need
further explaination on the effects.
As a personal comment, a natural method of light dieting,
comprising a little of Atkin's method of reducing carbo-intake,
increasing (slightly) in protein-intake while maintaining
fat-intake.
Reducing carb, would help to burn fat because blood sugar levels
would drop a little, meaning less energy running. In exercise, the
fat stores would be used, thus helps to lose weight. With exercise,
muscles are repeatedly worn and torn (inevitably), increasing
protein intake can help replace and repair cells and tissues. Same
goes for fat, but increasing intake would then be counterproductive
since per gram of fat yields more energy than carbo. But not
reducing its intake is to maintain a similar diet pattern as
before. A big change causes the yo-yo effect. By making small
changes to diet, it is more feasible, but also takes quite a long
time to achieve significant weight loss. Fast results mean fast
change; as fast as you lose weight, just as fast you gain them all
back. Fats are also the building block for cell membranes,
hormones. Reducing fat intake is also counterproductive.
Above all, supplements are not cheap; even when they clinically
proven, nothing beats supplement in it's natural form. In case you
all also don't know. Vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals (plant
chemicals, and i don't mean pesticides), and others work together
and are usually interdependant to become effective.
Commerical supplements usually isolate chemicals and combine with
other "fat burning" chemicals and therefore comes with huge price
tags. I don't think it is worth it, besides, it also lowers the
morale of those who really wish to lose weight when they spend up
to hundreds and hundreds, when there's always a cheaper
alternative.
