Question by joaquin f: What kind of diet pill is closest to the original hydroxycut with ephedra?
I lost a ton of weight on the original hydroxycut and was just wondering if anyone else who has taken it can reccomend a similar diet pill. Thanks.
Actually it stayed off for 2.5 years until I got pregnant….when I needed it after I had the baby it was discontinued. ANd there are lots of pills with ephedra in them, it is not illegal anymore.

Nothing legal in the US.
Love those possible side effects of the “new Hydroxycut”.
At least they haven’t killed anybody – yet.
Arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat)
Heart complications
Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes)
Kidney problems
Unexplained headaches and dizziness
Excessive fatigue
Loss of appetite
Restlessness, anxiety
Nausea, vomiting
Seizures
Ephedra-containing dietary supplements have been linked to a high rate of serious side effects and a number of deaths, leading to concern from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, and the medical community. However, initial efforts to test and regulate ephedra were defeated by lobbying and political pressure from the dietary supplement INDUSTRY. Ultimately, in response to accumulating evidence of adverse effects and deaths related to ephedra, the FDA banned the sale of ephedra-containing supplements on April 12, 2004.
Following a legal challenge by an ephedra manufacturer, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit upheld the FDA’s ban of ephedra in 2006. The sale of ephedra-containing dietary supplements remains illegal in the United States due to evidence of adverse ephedra-related effects. Following the FDA’s ban, the supplement industry has marketed “ephedrine-free” or “legal” ephedra products, in which the ephedra is replaced with other herbal stimulants such as bitter orange.

I used Hydroxycut and it worked with me pretty well then they stopped it, I tried several pills they didnt do much such as Xenadrine or whatever, till i found Tight Xtreme and T3 SAN brand, they helped me lose from 230ish lbs down to 155lbs, with alot of practicing ofcourse “Just be aware, they keep you awake at night cause of caffiene.”
The law has NOT changed. It’s still illegal. There are a few clever (and not so clever) marketing scams claiming otherwise, but they are still scams. All of them. Don’t fall for their verbal slight of hand they use to describe their products
, You know as soon as I reached my 25th birthday, it seemed like someone flipped a switch, before then I could eat any food I wanted, and still keep my six pack abs, then all of a sudden I started to get that middle age spread.
By the time I turned 30, I was over 30 pounds overweight. As a new years resolution, in my 30th year, I pledged that i would lose that weight, for the next 7 years I was able to renew that vow, and it wasn’t because of all the ass I was kicking on a program.
Every method I tried, I failed at. I tried diet pills, carb deprivation and some of the meal plans. Nothing worked. Then I found a website, with some free information that caught my attention, 3 months later, I was back to my college graduation weight. I have kept the weight off for over two years and I couldn’t be more pleased with my condition. Maybe the diet can help you as well. So check out the link and give it a shot.
The one that is the closest is the Hydroxylean with 10mg ephedrine alkaloids from real sida cordifolia. It has the same key ingredients unlike the new so called fakes which use inert Ephedra called Ephedra Extract. Go for the Hydroxylean and follow the same exact dose as the Hydroxycut ephedra from years ago (2 pills, twice a day). http://www.thatswholesale.com
