It works if used right, October 11, 2010
I am a 44 year old male who has been looking for a Hydroxycut Hardcore replacement since they changed the formula and it was not working for me anymore.
A friend of mine told me about Lipo 6 so I tried it. At the time I did not realize that there were actually 3 different formulas so I tried the "original" Lipo 6 and while it did seem to give me a little more energy I did not notice any kind of significant weight loss or more energy at the gym or when kickboxing.
I then tried the Lipo 6X. It was pretty much the same as the Lipo 6, maybe a little more energy. I did see some "extra" weight loss for the 8 weeks I was taking it.
I then tried this product, Lipo 6 Black. I have to say that I am pleased with this product. I have definitely had more energy when I took it and overall I feel like I have some extra energy when I am kickboxing and at the gym. But, the part that REALLY makes me like this product is that I definitely sweat a lot more. I am not jittery and I feel that I am able to concentrate on the task at hand better. I have seen significant weight loss, 16 pounds in the 4 weeks I have been taking it.
Let me just fill you in on why I was looking for a fat burner. I used to be a gym rat, I am talking 7 days a week, I was bulked up and 240 pounds, took N.O. products, protein products, Creatin, and a lot more. Then I turned 40 :(. LOL. All of a sudden I was noticing that maintaining a hard 240 wasn't so easy anymore. My gym time started suffering but I was still eating the same as when I was working out everyday, can you say "260 pounds here I come?" I then started kickboxing for cardio 4 days a week and light lifting 2 days in the gym and taking Hydroxycut Hardcore. I was able to get to 245 pretty easily then HC changed their formula. and I was stuck at 245 and looking for something new. The first Lipo did nothing, no change in exercise. The second, Lipo 6X got me to 235 with no change in exercise or eating habits in 8 weeks. Lipo 6 Black has now got me to 219 in 4 weeks and I still have 4 more weeks of this cycle. I will definitely go back on another 8 week cycle once I do my 4 weeks off.
I have taken this product 2 different ways, always consuming 6 pills a day. On days that I kickbox I take 2 in the morning, 2 in the afternoon, around noon, and 2 in the evening right before kickboxing for the energy boost. On days that I go to the gym in the afternoon, I take 3 in the morning and 3 right before I go to the gym, usually around 1 in the afternoon.
I am also very serious about my diet. I have 4 egg whites every morning on a whole wheat wrap, turkey bacon and a low fat cheese. I do 3 protein shakes a day, each with 40 grams of protein. On top of my breakfast, I eat 2 other meals a day usually consisting of either chicken breast or turkey breast with vegetables and red potatoes. I keep my calorie intake to between 2000 to 2400 a day and I have a target weight of 170. I am 5' 10" tall with a large frame. I am not new to the whole excercise/weight thing since I have been doing it since I was 17. It is just my goals that have changed.
I know this was a lengthy review but I hope you find it useful. I will also answer any questions that I can if you leave me a message on the comments section.
One more thing, if you think that ANY product is going to help you lose weight and all you have to do is take some pills, sit on a couch watching Springer and popping Bon Bons, you are sadly mistaken and I have a bridge in Brooklyn that I am selling real cheap.
Thank you.

Works Well, August 6, 2009
The effects of this product will vary from person to person, I've heard from some that it did wonders for and others it just made them feel sick. I've tried past Nutrex - Lipo 6 brands (6 and 6X), and this one has worked the best of the three for me. Lipo 6 standard gave me a noticeable boost, but made me kind of anxious and I did not notice any weight loss really. Lipo-6X was even worse and just made me feel nauseous and anxious, even at the minimum doses.
I'm normally too tired from waking up early and working all day that by the time I get home I just crash and go to sleep because I have no energy to do anything else. But with Lipo-6 Black it gives me just enough of a boost to where I don't just want to go right to sleep when I get home, so I can get some exercising done. It's a very very subtle boost, not a noticeable jolt that will make your heart rate go off the charts just by taking it or anything. It also doesn't make me feel nauseous at all - even at the maximum recommended dosage, something I can't say about the past two Lipo6 products. After two months I've about gotten rid of the fat I had around my lower abdomen/lovehandles area that I had developed during the last winter food/beer season , so it seemingly works. But I've also been running/exercizing daily and eating pretty decently though, you can't just take it and sit all day eating mcdonalds and expect it to have the same effects.
I'll stick with this as my remedy for the yearly holiday weight gain in the future.

Lipo6Black, December 15, 2009
this product works. In about 2 months I went from 188 to now, 163. I usually take 3 before my workout, you dont need to take 3 in the morning/ 3 later b/c they are just trying to make you use up the bottle quicker. Along with a good diet, this product will work wonders.
