Hydroxycut and Eating Disorders

Many people who have eating disorders have taken Hydroxycut in order to achieve weight loss at an alarmingly fast rate. Unfortunately, many of those who have tried Hydroxycut have found out the hard way that some herbal weight loss programs are more dangerous than their claims. This is mainly because Hydroxycut has contained ephedrine and guarana, two supplements that have shown to have potentially serious side effects.

Anorexia

Anorexia is one of the most common types of eating disorders associated with rapid weight loss. People with anorexia eat far less than the average person, resulting in a great deal of weight loss. Anorexia is also a lifestyle choice that many have relied on to achieve an extremely thin body image, which they normally still are not satisfied with even after being dangerously beneath the average Body Mass Index (BMI). Since these individuals do not allow their body to ingest a proper intake of nutrients, they may experience side-effects such as fatigue, dizziness, weakened bones, tissue loss, depression, and a variety of problems with the hair, skin, and nails.

Bulimia

Most individuals can be seen consuming some sort of food at some point. Individuals with bulimia may consume as much or even more as the average person and in less than half the time. However, those with bulimia will actually throw-up whatever it is they consumed. People may also take laxatives to rid their bodies of the food quickly. Much like anorexia, these people have a fear of gaining body fat or weight.
