hi, every1! first post. i have been on atkins for about 3 years w/ moderate success. it has taught me so much about my body and how i react to food. recently started taking hydroxy cuts supplements. read all that i could and decided to give it a try. seems to me that the main cause of all the problems is that people tend to think "more" may be better. i followed the directions and have had great success w/it. no side effects, except some mild acne. i have been on it since july 2002. it gave me so much energy and really made me eat less. i excercised very little, as i am active in work and play golf every chance i get.my question is does any1 have a idea how long this supplement can be taken? i have cycled off it every month for a min of 10 days and only take 6 pills, 2 every 4 hrs. has any 1 taken this supplement long term? thank you for your input.
