I just saw a segment on tv about Hoodia. It is a leaf of a plant that African warriors eat while out on a hunt, because it suppresses their appetite..so in that situation it works. HOWEVER, the doctor who I saw on this segment said that you have to be sure you are getting authentic Hoodia because some companies are passing off other things as Hoodia. He didn't explain, or I don't remember him explaining, how you could tell. My opinion is this, the good old fashioned exercise and change of diet is your best option for weight loss. How did all those women back in the day remain so thin and healthy without Atkins, South Beach or Hoodia? :::::shutter:::::

I heard Hoodia works, it is a appetite suppressant. I believe in diet and exercise over pills though.

YES!  You probably don't want to hear this but weight watchers.  My best friend was morbidly obese and lost 87 lbs.  Now she is at a healthy weight and has kept it off for 3 years.  I gained a lot of weight a couple of years ago and lost 27 lbs and have kept it off.  It isn't difficult-it teaches you how to eat responsibly...and you aren't constantly "dieting".  You can go out to eat and have a beer or whatever, but you have to be good the rest of that day.  It all balances out.  You use a point system (and you can get a points calculator and information online or I'd be glad to help too).  Anyway, I have tried the cabbage soup diet, atkins diet, low fat diet, vegetarian diet, starvation diet...and the weight loss was quick but only a few pounds and it always came back.  If you want a diet that works and keeps the weight off, you need to follow weight watchers.  The normal weight loss is 2 lbs a week, sometimes more, especially in the first week.  It feels so good to be healthy and energetic!  The only downside is that you may want to attend meetings and they are approx $10/wk.  I did it for free strictly by reading online message boards and googling "weight watchers information".  guess it helped that my friend went through it before me.  Some people need the meetings as motivation and to keep on track.  I wish I could show before and after pictures of my friend!  They are awesome!

My boyfriend tried hoodia.  he spent a lot of money.  he took it for maybe a month.  it did not work.  he did not lose any weight.  it's just like every other gimmick.  i don't know if it suppresses your appetite but he gave up on it because it wasn't working.  there is no magic bullet.  you have to eat fewer calories.  honestly exercise did not work for me.  i had to eat less.  a lot less.  i lost 80 lbs that way.

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.

I used to weigh 311 lbs. I had tried everything, had my stomach stapled, teeth wired, and worked with a personal trainer- I never lost more than 10lbs. A doctor that I know told me about this product on this website www.realsauna.com and I tried it! After only 2 months of using the suit with no diet, I LOST 33 LBS. I have been using the REALSAUNA suit now for 2 years, 3 times a week for 30min, and I am now down to 155 lbs! My idea weight! Try the product, it will really be worth every penny! I promise!

It sure does. My wife & I ahve booth had great success with it.\n\nBut, you should understand that it only take away the hunger..so, if you do not break your habit of eating at set times and eat, it will not help! You must THINK about not eating at your normal times.\n\nLike most Internet supplements/diet aids, the source is vital to insuring you are getting only pure, real Hootia. \n\nI was directed to a great Hootia importer, and would recommed you visit http://www.hoodia-diets-info\nThey have a vast collection of articles on Hoodia and also a very good source.

I have tried a lot of "fat burners" from my experience (I lost more than 70lbs). I can tell you that most of those products are just marketing hype.\n\nSome of them may be efficient and but when my personal training clients asked me about "fat burners" I tell them that before you buy anything to take a look at Will Brink's Diet Supplements Revealed . \n\nActually right now, They are giving away free extracts from the e-book so you can see inside at exactly what products is being reviewed. He'll tell you what really works and what is just *marketing hype*\n\nJust go here \nhttp://snipurl.com/nwtc\n\nThey will send you the extract's immediately.\n\nhttp://www.charlesblain.com

Hi,\nI tried this xenadrine and wasn't happy with it.  Hoodia works much better!  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 =)I tried

Losing weight that fast isn't a good thing. If you lose it slowly, it stays off longer.\nIf you feel it works and isn't going to do you harm in the long term, good luck.

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!

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, yes I have - I know someone who was on it and they never lost weight but just got ill.  Instead, read the following as it might help.\n\nI got best answer for this before (the first bit) so someone thought it was worthwhile information and I think I'll continue to use it until people start being sensible about their body image and stop bowing to what they think they should look like.\n\nThere is no such thing as a safe quick weight loss. Diets and diet pills don't work they just act on the pituitary gland and make the body lose water (hence weight). It's good to exercise as anything which raises your pulse and makes you sweat is good. It may also be that you're not having enough calories as the body goes into "famine" mode if it doesn't get enough norishment and stores anything it does get as fat, rather than glucose. Every cell in your body respires and this uses energy, ie, food. Without enough energy, your metabolism slows and food is stored as fat. Incidentally, who says you need to lose weight and do you really need to lose the weight? The only thing guaranteed to get a body healthy (note I don't say "lose weight") is to exercise and eat a healthy, balanced, wide variety of foods plus the occasional treat in moderation (this stops any food becoming "naughty" and therefore craved). Please note that body muscle mass weighs four times more than body fat because the fibres are so much closer together. Some fat is important on the body though as it helps regulate hormonal levels in the body and prevents osteoporosis and other bone wasting diseases in later life. Some fat is important on women as too little can cause periods to stop and fertility problems. Women are designed differently to men and a totally flat stomach and no hips isn't healthy on a woman. The question to ask yourself is - do your clothes fit better and how do you look in a mirror - not how much do you weigh. If you think you look untoned, then incorporate some light weights (low weight, high repetitions) into your regime.\n\nAdditionally, I have friends who have taken up Pilates and although they never lost weight, their clothes looked fantastic on them, their posture improved and their entire bodies firmed up. I watched this happen. Pilates strengthens your core muscles (the ones that hold your skeleton in place) so correcting posture imbalances and making a slimmer shape. I believe that yoga also does this although I don't know anyone who has done this. Additionally, try dance (old style ballroom / salsa) as this is a fun way to tone up. Any excercise / activity that raises your heart rate and makes you sweat BUT IS FUN will ensure you stick to it and get fitter.\n\nAdditionally, drink lots of water. Lots of people eat when they are in fact thirsty. If you feel hungry, drink a glass of water first and if you're still hungry half an hour later, then eat. Eat sensibly and regularly and don't forget to eat breakfast (so named because it "breaks" the night's "fast"). Missing breakfast starts the day off badly as your body will just crave and store anything you eat later as fat.\n\nHope this helps.

Well not all the hoodia available in market are good enough to be really effective. Most of them make false claims and are not close to actual hoodia itself...\n\nyou might want to have a look here to see what these ppl have to say about hoodia ..\n\nhttp://safe-hoodia.blogspot.com/\nhttp://hoodia-diet-pills.beyond-info.com/
