Any one know about Hoodia as a diet aid?

Hoodia has been used for centuries by African hunters.\n\nOn the long hunt, they would chew it: the chemicals would give them a slight burst of energy, but, it would significantly reduce their feelings of hunger. This was a very useful tool if you had a long time to wait for you next meal.\n\nTo date, it has been used with varying degrees of success as a weight loss supplement.\n\nInitially, people are very successful with hoodia, but this only applies to when people are using it.\n\nMost people will gain weight again after using it. You cannot use it long term because it will result in varying degrees of cardiac damage.\n\nIt reduces feelings of hunger, but does nothing to change the behavior of people who want a healthier lifestyle.\n\nIf you must use it, do so sparingly. Use the time you are taking it to research whole food nutrition, which means no longer eating fast food/processed food, and explore different exercise regimens. Whether it be enrollment in a gym, or a basketball league, or a jogging club, try different things and see what you like.\n\nGood luck with achieving your health and fitness goals. Drop another question in Answers if you need more info.\n\nPeace.

I tried it, but it really did not do anything. Like most "miracle" diet aids, this one also falls short. Diet and exercise is the way to go, believe me I have tried every pill out there (prescription also). I have been living on fruits, veggies, and Atkins bars for breakfast and lunch, and then have whatever I want for dinner. I have lost 27 pounds so far! Remember to drink plenty of water, it really does speed up your metabolism, and it is good for the skin!

I tried it for a few weeks, but it's not as rapid as they say...and trust me, I've gained alot of weight due to being pregnant, so I really want to lose this extra baby fat lol...I found something that really works, it's called *HOODIA*...loose a pound a day, it's actually what the tribes used to eat when they were hunting in South Africa, it is ALL NATURAL...look it up on yahoo, you lose 1 pound a day :d 30lbs a month, of course when there isn't too much fat to lose it will go down lol

Hi,\nClenbuterol made me sick, I got a rash and couldn't breath well.  I've tried all different diets, and the weight loss is only temporary. I finally tried diet pills on the market are made from Hoodia. I saw this stuff on ABC News. It's all natural and safe, and it works! My wife took it for a month and dropped 20 pounds. I took it for a month and lost about 13 (but I didn't exercise).\n\nI bought the natural hoodia from this website: http://www.alllsite.info/free-diet-pills.php . I checked the web site address so I can post it here and I saw they're running a promotion now to get a free 2 week sample for only $4.97! I'm going to order this supply for my wife and give it to her for Christmas =)

Fat burners, weight loss aids, etc... are inneffective in the long run, and not a healthy way to lose weight.  Although, the best by far on the market were the ephedra/caffeine supplements because they were very effective in the short term.  What has worked for me is consistent exercise, eating more SENSIBLY (I don't do diets), and watching your portion sizes.  There are supplements that can help you along in you weight loss endeavors, like ones that can curb your appetite, but if you're serious about losing weight, a little help from these type of supplements make a huge difference.  Look for a GOOD form of Hoodia or Slimaluma.

Hi I started smart burn with hoodia one week ago with a reduced calorie diet and vigorous exercise meaning i walk three miles a day on my treadmill at 3.6 mph and two miles around town i roughly burn around 700 calories a day and take in about 1500 calories a day. I have lost 23 pounds and three inches off my waist in 10 days. I take two smart burn capsules in the morning and two desert burn all natural hoodia capsules in the evening before I do the other two miles. My key is if I want to eat my fatty foods I eat them in the morning that way you have all day to work it off. The rest of day i eat different salads for lunch and supper. Usually chicken breast salads. For snacks I eat two of the 100 calorie packs from nabisco twice a day, cut out all pops. I found nestea in the bottle sweetened has only 60 calories to whole bottle. I drink alot of that and water water water. It is a mental thing. I think any diet pill will work if you put your mind to it and be strict on urself. I have found in the past week I feel better about myself and have tons more energy. It feels good when you can pull old clothes outta closet you havent been in , in a long time. Makes it all worth it and gives you the strength and courage to keep going. I've never had more compliments than i have in the past week.

Yes, I take Hoodia, and I LOVE IT!!  It absolutely works- and I was a total skeptic.  The product I use is called Hoodia Supreme, and you can find it at GNC, or other vitamin stores.  Each capsule contains 400mg of Hoodia Gordonii.  I workout at 8am, have a smoothie for breakfast at 9am, take 2  Hoodia around 11am, lunch at 12 or 12:30, another fruit and yogurt smoothie or 10 almonds at 3pm, and 2 more Hoodia at 5 or 5:30, then dinner at around 6 or 6:30.  I am absolutely NEVER hungry.  I couldn't believe that I didn't get any hunger pangs, considering that I am only taking in about 1000-1200 calories per day, and doing a vigorous workout (The Firm) in the morning.  I take 1600 grams of Hoodia per day, and it is totally safe, no side effects at all, and I am never hungry.  It has really helped me stick to my eating plan, because it makes you feel full.  It is very easy to stay on a diet with Hoodia.  I am always sure to drink at least 1 gallon of water per day- this helps as well.  Hoodia Supreme is 100% Hoodia- don't buy anything that is not 100%, because most of it is filler.  1 bottle of Hoodia Supreme is about $35 for 60 capsules at GNC where I live, and I go through one bottle every 2 weeks- but believe me, I don't mind, because it is totally worth it.  They have a website:  www.hoodiasupreme.com.  By the way, Hoodia is not a "diet pill".  It does not help you burn fat, it just  does an awesome job at suppressing your appetite- and that is more than half the battle!  Good luck!

I take hoodia 911.  They really work.  I checked them out online before I ordered them from Slimciti.com.  Desertburn are really good also. You just have to make sure they have the seals of approval, at least 700 grams of hoodia, and no added ingredients.  Make sure you read around before you buy them.  The pills that guy are talking about are too cheap from prosource.  Pure Hoodia does not sell less than 30 bucks.  I don't know about the ones he's talking about from GNC though.
