Hydroxycut Recalled by the FDA

hydroxycutI’ll admit it…I’ve popped a few diet pills in my life.  Once the baby was out, I couldnt blame my big rump on the pregnancy, and I was sooo tired of being huge,  who could blame me? I needed some instant weight loss gratification! Who wants to sweat and exercise when you can take a magic pill and shed that baby fat in a matter of hours!

Hydroxycut always seemed like the good choice. It’s been around since 2002 – I mean if it caused brain damage or something, wouldn’t the FDA have caught it by now?

Well! Not so fast!! Apparently, they were waiting for someone to die before investigating the contents and side-effects of this ever popular diet pill!

Dietary Supplements Linked to One Death; Pose Risk of Liver Injury

Hmmmm…… let’s regroup for a minute! Hydroxycut claimed it was as natural and clean as a baby’s butt! It cornered the market for over 7 years on weight loss supplements, by claiming it was natural (all natural ingredients) and nutritional weight loss supplement. It claimed it was able  to help you lose weight and gain muscle definition. There are no studies proving any of these claims.

Let’s face it ladies! If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

I am actually shocked that people are still popping diet pills after the whole ephedra nonsense. Unfortunately, the victims of these products are young impressionable girls who idolize Photoshoped models on the covers of Vogue and will do anything to look like that. :( Or desperate post-partum women like me looking for some normalcy again!

The list of products being recalled by Iovate currently includes:

Hydroxycut Regular Rapid Release Caplets
Hydroxycut Caffeine-Free Rapid Release Caplets
Hydroxycut Hardcore Liquid Caplets
Hydroxycut Max Liquid Caplets
Hydroxycut Regular Drink Packets
Hydroxycut Caffeine-Free Drink Packets
Hydroxycut Hardcore Drink Packets (Ignition Stix)
Hydroxycut Max Drink Packets
Hydroxycut Liquid Shots
Hydroxycut Hardcore RTDs (Ready-to-Drink)
Hydroxycut Max Aqua Shed
Hydroxycut 24
Hydroxycut Carb Control
Hydroxycut Natural

Stay away from diet pills and keep your children’s egos and self-esteem healthy by promoting sports and other physical activities.
