it's a sugar pill that's suppose to motivate you....

lol....

the original hydroxycut was loaded with ephedra which

taken from a med website

Ephedra increases metabolism and helps promote weight loss, relaxes the air passages in the lungs to help treat asthma and cough, and promotes perspiration to help a person recover from a minor cold and helps promote urination to help relieve edema. Ephedra has been widely researched for its thermogenic (fat burning) properties. Research has show that Ephedra helps promote the loss of fat while helping spare lean muscle tissue, a highly sought-after property that prescription diet medications still have not been able to reproduce.

the problem was, some people were popping these pills like, 4 or 5 at a time, and apparently that causes alot of problems because your metabolism cant from from slow, to turbo in like 10mins, it's not healthy.

to me, it's all a mind game....because you take the pill and then go work out, and in your mind, you are like, oh man, I feel so much stronger and I can go a little bit longer.....

I can get a trim spa bottle and fill it up with flintstone chews and take a real bottle with trim spa and give it to both motivated people, I bet they would shed pretty much the same weight within 2-3lbs.
