| The Diet Solution Hoodia ?
Posted: 1/1/2006 6:14:09 PM | I just started the Hoodia diet patch. Hoodia is a herb from Africa and is supposed to help with loosing weght, curbing appetite, improve skin and several other things. Opra evidently has endorsed the use of Hoodia as a weight loss aid. Wondering if anyone has used the patch or other Hoodia products and how have they worked for you ?

Posted: 1/5/2006 5:17:56 PM | I'm going to join you in this question...I've been reading a bit about it, but I would like to learn more from people who have used it.
Smoochie: it's been a few days since your post...have you felt like it is helping with hunger or feelings of fullness? | |

Posted: 1/6/2006 6:54:00 AM | I have tried the Hoodia capsules and don't notice anything at all. I think it's just like anything, it works for some and not for others.
I am definately not thin but I believe whole heartedly that diet and excercise needs to become an important part of your lifestyle to get results and maintain them | |

Posted: 1/6/2006 11:18:27 AM | | Most of the diet supplements that are proported to contain hoodia actually contain NONE. The molecule that is the effective part of the hoodia cactus is a very very modern discovery. The companies call it P57. It mimicks what glucose does to your brain postprandially. It has been used in africa for years by people living and traveling through the desert. Will it ever be the diet pill of the future? Who knows much is still to be learned. | |

Posted: 1/8/2006 7:53:45 AM | Thanks for the encouragement Sweety,
Well, I have been wearing the patch for a little while and I do feel like I am making better choices. The other night when I really crave sugar or carbs I reached for a salad. My idea of a veg is ketchup. So, that was an accomplishement for me to eat some greens at 3 in the morning when I could have reached for the cheese curls I am going to keep wearing the patch and I will check back in.
Cheers,
Smoochie | |

Look up "Curb Your Cravings Hoodia" on the net. I think the patch is helping me want more veggies and less carbs. I still can't find out the average daily dose for Hoodia and the patch does not have a dosage amount. I have emailed the company with no response to my questions. I think my next step is to call # 1 800-916-2088 Curb Your Cravings.
Cheers,

I eat 5-6 small meals a day and that sustains me and has helped me curb my appetite. I also drink a gallon of water a day and put in 5-6 days a week with cardio and weights. Protein is a must have and I include it in every meal. So far, I lost 5 pounds in one week for a total of 75 pounds.
I agree with justjazz. No hoodia that you can buy these days is pure. | |

Posted: 8/31/2009 6:08:26 PM | I bought hoodia and took it for quite awhile and never noticed that it did anything for me.
If it works for some people, I think that's great.
I find the only thing that works for me is watching what I eat and exercising doing
weight training and cardio at least 5 days a week and sometimes 6, gives me the results
I am looking for. I don't think there is anything that is going to be magical in a pill
or a patch. | |

Put your Big Boy pants on and quit bawling like a baby who just found out that Santa Claus doesn't exist! I didn't lost 75+ following Oprah around the nation on every gimmick SHE ever tried.

Really? I don't suppose you owe your hard earned physique to Oprah? The statements I made about Oprah were in relation to her weight loss and her so called struggle in weight loss. She ruined her own testimony on the weight loss roller coaster and every yo-yo diet that she has ever tried and put out in the public to try. No where did you read that I was against Oprah in any of her other endeavors. But then again, Oprah is not Jesus Christ. Let us see you "holla" for him.
Get this through your head: Hoodia is not a 100% pure. It is originally from South Africa and it is harvested until there is no more. For anyone to get anything pure, you would have to wait until this is cultivated and as everyone knows, everything has it's season to grow.

Posted: 9/1/2009 7:01:27 AM | | I'm pretty sure he was kidding. I tried Hoodia early on in my working out routine - I used it for a month. I did not notice that it did anything. | |

Posted: 9/1/2009 10:33:04 AM | | Why not do what some of us do, eat right and bust your ass in the gym 6 days a week and lose interest over a little pill that won't be pure unless you go to Africa and get it yourself. Look how many times Oprah has gone up and down on the scale. Every time there is a new "cure it all pill" she gets paid to say how she has done it and blah blah blah. Bullshit. If I am going to use anything on the side of my diet, it sure as hell won't be some overpriced fake ass pill Oprah and a few other messy Celebrities indorse. Eat protein. A lot of it. Use the gym, do not just sit in the parking lot and you may just see some results. | |

Posted: 9/1/2009 2:10:30 PM | | The reason why African's are so slim isn't because of Hoodia, they just don't have any food. My suggestion: Go on a real African Diet if you want a nice skinny figure. Don't go for the American Diet which is gonna make you look, oh I dunno, fat. Did you know in Africa, the people there are putting Big Mac patches on their arms and claiming it'll help them gain weight? I read a book about it called "The Big Mac Diet: 3 Simple Steps to a Fatter You" Yeah, good stuff | |

Posted: 9/2/2009 5:35:32 PM | if you were an oprah lover you would know about the free KFC campaign she sponsored that made every KFC run out of chicken. Oprah is a God. | |
|
| The Diet Solution Hoodia ?
Posted: 9/2/2009 7:53:40 PM | That is because Oprah ate all the chicken. But that comment about Oprah being God is going to get you a first class seat on the airplane that descends straight into hell. Once you get there, you can have all the Buffalo Wings you want. | |

Posted: 9/7/2009 4:47:16 PM | Don't know about Hoodia, but I lost my extra ten lbs in 2 wks using acai berry at double dose-don't buy the stuff on the net for 80 bucks a bottle tho-get it cheap from a vitamin/supplement store. BTW, that was a crazy busy time for me when ironically, no time to work out, and I wanted to see if it worked not changing diet either, so I ate the same as always. I didn't load up on carbs or icecream, but I did eat even the occasional cookie, and didn't go crazy in food choices . Let us know tho if the hoodia works for ya | |

Posted: 9/7/2009 6:58:30 PM | The only " Diet Solution" is to eat whole foods, plant based, and exercise.
Without exercise...regardless of what you eat...you're SOL. | |
