Hoodia
SummaryThis is not a diet per se, but a naturally occurring plant that has a appetite suppression effect. DescriptionEating some Hoodia reduces your appetite, so you are more able to stick to a low-calorie diet. You don't feel hungry after eating Hoodia. Fresh Hoodia from the plant itself works wonders. But, so far, no company has been able to produce it in large enough quantities to make it an cost-effective product. Hoodia pills are sold, but they are expensive and only contain trace amounts of what is needed. HistoryHoodia is a cactus that grows in the Kalahari desert in Africa. It needs high temperatures to thrive and takes years to mature. Primitive bushmen of the Kalahari have eaten it for thousands of years. Recently, scientists have taken note of it and isolated the molecule that gives the appetite suppression effect. It is named P 57. A license for this molecule has traded hands a number of times, and it currently owned by Pfizer.

| autumnlight | posted 1-Dec-2005 8:05am I took hoodia pills for a couple of months and found no real difference at all. I had smaller portions, but not because I had less of an appetite. Plus they were quite expensive to buy - I wouldn't recommend them as a main way of trying to lose weight. |
bill | posted 2-Dec-2005 9:00am I've heard the pills they are selling now may not contain enough of of the active ingredient to have a significant effect. I think if Pfizer ever comes out with a pill, it will probably work better. But, they may never do that. |

| tami | posted 2-Jan-2007 6:30pm edited 3-Jan-2007 8:37am You are absolutely right. There are so many products that contain very little hoodia. But I have used this one and it seems to work. But I have only used it for a couple of weeks. But just to let you know I didnt think it was doing anything for the first 7 or 10 days. Will keep you posted |

| Pandora | posted 21-Oct-2007 5:32pm I have lost about 25 lbs on this, in about a year and a half. I have found if you take in less than 1000mg per day of Hoodia it does not work. It has been a very effective aid, but it is an aid. You must commit to reducing your intake and regular exercise. Hoodia alone will not do. |
