My brother took hydroxycut and lost 35 lbs. He's a big guy to begin with and he does a lot of sports and he has altered his diet so that contributed to his weight loss as well. i've tried a few i can't remember the name but it was in a blue bottle and it gave me the gitters, i couldn't stop shaking and my head was spinning i thought i was going to pass out. I don't recommend diet pills. They're not good for you
