I hope someone can talk you out of this...

Hydroxycut was found to be extremely bad for you, at least I think that's what it was. Might've been a single brand. However, I don't think talking supps are good while cutting. Just my philosophy

IMO you should make sure you have your diet spot on first and see how that goes before considering any supps, from my experience all cuutters are over rated and seem to have little or no effect.

in regards to creatine you may experience some water retention or bloat from it, depending on brand, and type of creatine. again depends what kind of program you will be following whilst cutting.

i assume you wont be going heavy and doing more conditioning work, in that case creatine is not necessary, but shouldnt hinder your cut.


hope this is helpful.

My buddy and I split a bottle of hydroxycut a few years back and it worked pretty well for me but he took it for three days and it shut his kidneys down and almost killed him. Hes currently in a group lawsuit against the makers of hydroxycut. The results I got didnt last at all. I would strongly advise not taking this supplement.

hydroxy cut was taken off hte market a few months ago so a revision could be made to the product.  the product was doing something funky with people livers.

it has since been re-released and back onto the market.

are fat burning supps needed?  that a personal preference.  i dont typically take suppliments aside from a mulit, protein and fish oils.  the effects of thermogenics can also have a negative effect on your muscles as well if not careful.
