A weight gain after introducing a weight loss supplement (hot-rox). - Weight Loss Message Board

Hello,

I've been on a diet for about 3 months. It's been very successful, however in efforts of speeding the process up (I've already proved my commitment) I've decided to implement a weight loss supplement into my already STRICT diet/exercise regime. After day one, my weight increased 3lbs. Today, an addition 2.5 lbs, mind you, I have limited my eating today - to counteract this abrupt weight gain. Who knows how much I would have gained had I kept up my regular eating today. I could see these pills doing 'nothing', sure. That's life, that's marketing. But for these pills to actually make you gain weight? Seems like an impossibility, otherwise the product (Hot-Rox) would be off the market due to dismal sales.

Needless to say, does this happen often with pills? If not, is it possible it's just muscle gain? I want to quit the pills, but I am not sure if it takes several days to take effect or not.

If anyone can advise me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

While I have no experience with the specific product you tried, I have had diet supplements have the reverse effect on me (i.e. weight gain) in the past. I don't have an explanation for it at all, but I can say it happens. I only gained about 3 lbs., but still - when you're trying to lose, 3 pounds is 3 pounds! A real downer...

My sentiments exactly. It's discouraging to say the least. Fortunately, I have lost weight without any supplements. However, it makes you think - what if this was the beginning of my diet. This product would single handedly be responsible for the destruction of my diet.

I.E. - I cheated at a fast food rest. last night, first time in weeks. Granted "I"" made my bed, but hell, hot-rox provided the comforter, sheets, added new pillows, shot of Nyquil, and made sure I slept on the damn thing.

I used hot rox about a year ago, I was exercising and eating healthy for the most part, I did not gain weight or lose weight, it was a complete waste of money, unless they put ephedra back in diet supplements I would never waste money on them again.

LOL! Amen to that!
