Any one know about Hoodia as a diet aid?


Question:


Answers:
Hoodia has been used for centuries by African hunters.

On 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.

To date, it has been used with varying degrees of success as a weight loss supplement.

Initially, people are very successful with hoodia, but this only applies to when people are using it.

Most people will gain weight again after using it. You cannot use it long term because it will result in varying degrees of cardiac damage.

It reduces feelings of hunger, but does nothing to change the behavior of people who want a healthier lifestyle.

If 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.

Good luck with achieving your health and fitness goals. Drop another question in Answers if you need more info.

Peace.

What's hoodia?!

I don't know to much but I have heard that it works great.

Great product to suppress appetite. But, you MUST find real, genuine hoodia. This site has the brand that provided me with assays and import proof, that their hoodia is coming from S. Africa, and that it is made with stems, not aerial parts.

"We offer the best Hoodia Gordonii available, derived straight from the Hoodia cactus stems directly from South Africa. If it's not Hoodia Gordonii, it's not going to be effective."

I have read and talked to a lot of people that really like Hoodia. Just make sure that the kind you end up getting has a good amount in it. Since it is pretty rare and hard to get some will say that they are the best but not really have a lot in it. Take a look at the site below for some reviews on hoodia and other supplments as well. Good luck!!
