Works with you =]
By Janaki A. Perera
After doing a good deal of research on assisted supplements, I decided to choose this based on the good things I heard about this in forums. Now of course, one must use common sense, it does have caffeine in it but that is not its foundation. Best time to take this is in the morning (or when you wake up) then the next pack 4-5 hours later. Of course you do not want to take it late at night.

More importantly, the product works. I previously used mri black powder with my workouts but took a break from it as I didn't want to over supplement myself. With this product, you will want to drink plenty of water, and don't expect it to be a magic pill. I used this with my normal workouts, and even on non-workout days, the results are showing and my body fat level has decreased 2% from previous level leaving me at about 8% body fat (considered very lean), regardless I am still on my last week of it, so I have not finished. It is 9 pills per pack, which is only the slighest hassle, no big deal. It gives good energy and no crashes. It does contain caffeine, but the more important ingredients are in the thyroid complex as well as the green tea extract.

Animal cuts tackles the problem from all angles, not just a few. Read about it, and especially the label, and learn for yourself!

Good Product w/ proper diet and exercise
By A. Sharma
I've been weightlifting for several years now and hadn't really focused on body fat reduction till a couple of months ago. So I had a good 15-20 lbs of extra fat on me. I had tried going low carb before to see if it would help cut body fat, but didn't to a "cutting phase" like a lot of other body builders. Low carb (<150g per day) worked a little but I got MUCH better results with CUTS in the mix.
My Routine IS: Lifting 4x a week, Cardio 5x a week (30 mins after lifting)
Diet: Carbs (<180g), Calories: 2800

Week 1 On Cuts: Lost about 2 lbs and noticed slightly better tone in body.
Week 2 On Cuts: Lost total of 4 lbs with about 1 inch off my waist and little bit of fat loss on my back.
Week 3 On Cuts: Lost total of 5 lbs with total 2 inches off my waist and noticeable loss of fat from back and abs.

Negative Effects: Trouble sleeping for first 5-6 days. Fixed this by taking second packet at 11 AM.
Positive Effects: Less tired during the day.

I'm taking a week off before I start another cycle (as recommended). Overall, I really liked this product. But don't expect miracles without proper diet and exercise.

Highly Recommend
By Kyle A. Lucas
I really thought this product was great. It did what it was marketed to do and had very little side-effects.

Other products I have taken that contain diuretics have made me almost miserable. I drink a gallon of water a day, and my schedule forces me to work out at night. Given the mass volumes of water I take in at the gym, and throw in a diuretic, and I was up peeing LITERALLY every 15-20 minutes the first two hours after going to bed. This was not the case with Animal Cuts. It did make me pee more, but not to the point of being a nuisance. You will want to drink a lot more water with this product.

I've read a lot about dramatically increased sweating. While I do feel "warmer" it's not at all unpleasant, and I only sweat more during situations that would make me sweat in the first place anyways. In other words, sitting in my air conditioned office didn't make me sweat. Running outside, I did sweat considerably more. But there was no body odor or anything, nor sweating through my dress shirts. I'm not a naturally sweaty guy, so maybe if you struggle with heavy perspiration, you may want to be careful.

It had some great effects in other fields, actually. Maybe it was a placebo, but I find myself more focused on my projects at work while I'm taking this. Less "ADD-like". This is a definite perk. During seminars and meetings, I was less likely to zone out or get bored. I was firing out solutions like a pro. I've never been a big caffeine drinker, so maybe it was just the caffeine-high, but I definitely enjoyed it.

Of course, the assistance in working out was great. It will work better for those of you who work out in the morning, but since I work out around 9:00 PM, Animal Cuts is basically out of my system. However, with my busy schedule, without this product I would be crashing by 9:00, so it still was great.

The side-effects while on the product weren't bad. The first time I took it, the appetite suppressant hit so hard I couldn't even finish a small bowl of oatmeal. After that, though, it was just a great curb. I no longer crave the cookies my co-workers bring in, and my normally insatiable appetite is at a healthy limit now. Only time it gets bad is at night. After my post-workout meal, and about an hour before bed, Animal Cuts is completely out of my system and I am famished. I have to chug a protein shake or just go to bed to keep myself from making a second dinner.

There is also the occasional heart burn. I can literally tell once it is kicking in, because I feel a sensation similar to slight acid reflux in my belly. This fades quickly, and never caused much discomfort. I honestly strangely appreciated the sensation. Products like Lipo 6x, I never felt anything at all, so I couldn't tell if it was working or not. This let me know that the product was kicking in, and this helped me psychologically as well. The only time it got bad was when I had a lot of spicy foods with it, then my heart burn was pretty bad.

The worst side-effect was AFTER taking it. At the end of my 3 week cycle, I took one week off as recommended. I nearly crashed. I was yawning all day every day. My workouts were a struggle. I was sleeping 10-12 hours a night. It wasn't pretty. Maybe it was a coincidence and I was just having a rough week, but I think it was coming down off the "high" of Animal Cuts.

It is a lot of pills. It never bothered me at all, since they are pre-packed. They have some sweetener coated on them, though, that made me gag a bit. My cupboard actually smells like them, and that smell makes me a bit uneasy, probably from the association. I would prefer just plan pills. I'm not 8 years old, I don't need candy coating to take pills.

One issue I had is one I have with all thermogenics. The 30 minutes before you eat rule is a bit of a drag. It means I can't wake up and just eat breakfast and get ready for work. It also means if I want to take animal cuts before a run in the morning, I have to wake up 30 minutes before my run, or skip eating a meal and run on an empty stomach. Not a big deal, just a nuisance.

So this review is a bit unorganized, but those are my thoughts on Animal Cuts. I will continue to use it, as it really made other products (Hydroxycut, I'm looking at you) look like amateur stuff. I never suffered insomnia on the product, and it was a great pick me up in the morning.

Also, if I see you post "My diet kind of sucked when I took this...I didn't lose anything" I will hunt you down and punt you. This isn't a diet pill. It works with your body. It gives you 25%, you have to do the other 75%.
