why am I shaking??

So, I'm a 17 year old, 5" 3 and 125 pounds girl. I recently started taking hydroxycut whenever I eat (which isn't very often but I'm not anorexic)I'm just getting worried because I shake for no reason and recently my feet will randomly go numb. Is it a serious problem or just a typical thing that happens? Please, no rude comments. Thank you everyone!! :)

    Hydroxycut contains a lot of caffeine. That's basically how it and virtually all of its competitors work.

    (It's not a secret, and they do all but come straight out and say "Yes we are nothing special. Just a overpriced caffeine supplement.") People can lose weight by taking caffeine. It's nothing new, and even though its somewhat unhealthy people do it anyway.

    Anyhow, that's why you are shaking.

    Your body probably isn't getting enough nutrition from food and the hydroxy cut isn't helping. The same thing happened to me when I wasn't eating much.

    Easy question!

    It is part of the Hydroxycut side effect(s). Shaking is one of them.

    Here is a list of side effects for Hydroxcut products:

    Increased blood pressure

    Nose bleeds

    Blurred vision

    Acne outbreak

    Restlessness & hyperactivity

    Loss of appetite

    Increased heart rate

    Headaches

    Lightheadedness

    Dizziness

    Insomnia

    Nausea and upset stomach

    Insomnia

    Nervousness

    Indigestion or heartburn

    Shakiness (tremors) or jitteriness < Your side effect.

    Increased urination

    Liver damage

    The list is for general Hydroxicut products. You can search for your products side effects for more accurate details.

    And you won't get all side effects don't let the list scare you. It is possible but unlikely to get the bad ones. It is just to tell you what can go wrong. Shaking is a normal side effect. I started shaking when I took Hydroxicut. I didn't get any other symptoms. I was about 5 "5 and 160 pounds (male).

    The shaking should go away as your body adapts to the weight loss supplement. My guess is about a week or so. And expect shaking if you take it on a empty stomach. I am pretty sure it will say take it 30 minutes before a meal (from memory). And it should recommend starting on about 1 pill 2 times a day. Then gradual go up each day. By about day 4-5 you can take the recommended doses.

    P.s. I took the product as directed for the full period. I dropped from 160 pounds to about 150 pounds. I know it doesn't sound like much but I had a low body-fat percentage therefore It was harder to lose weight.

    Throw out that garbage!!! Throw it out RIGHT NOW.

    Hydroxycut is dangerous crap you should not be putting in to your body. You are hurting yourself.

    You aren't even overweight. You need to eat properly and stop buying these fad diet poison pills.

    And after that you need to talk to your doctor to make sure it hasn't damaged your liver, and then discuss healthy eating with them.
