Does Hydroxycut help burn fat or is it just a waste of money? I am looking for something to assist me in burning fat while I work out but at the same time I would like to put on some muscle. I can not have the perfect diet since I am deployed to Iraq. I drink only water and try to watch what I eat when I go to the mess hall. I can only eat three times a day, but I do try to take some fruit to eat as snacks when the mess hall is not open. Is there a better supplement out there that will help burn fat and help create leaner muscles while working out?
