Hoodia Gordoni

Ok. I know I've seen a few threads here about diet pills. Basically everyone agrees that they probably are not very good for you. Which I agree with. Anyway, I did some research because I wanted to see if I could find something that would help take the edge off the hunger but not jack me up on caffine or make me jittery or risk my health.

Well, I stumbled across the Hoodia Gornodi product and decided to give it a shot considering it has no side effects and no caffine or any other additives. Hoodia Gordoni is a succulent that grows in the bush of South Africa and is classed as a supplement.

I started it when I started the diet which was a week ago. I take one 400mg supplement in the morning and another an hour before dinner for a total of 800mg/day. I have read that, to be effective, you need to take 750+ mg/day.

What did I notice? Nothing. Not at all. I wasn't super hungry but I thought I was just doing a good job eating right. I assumed it wasn't doing anything but decided that I would use up the bottle because it is expensive ($39 for 60 capsules) and see what happens at the end of thirty days.

Ok, fast forward to last night. Last night I was starving! I ate healthy and about the same as I have been but it wasn't enough. I added 2 cups of veggies and I was still hungry! So then I had a potato and the edge started to come off but I could've eaten more easily.

It was only then did I realize I did not take my afternoon dose! I took it then and I was fine for the rest of the night.

Point is, I am down to 1350 cals/day all week and with the hoodia it is pretty easy! I'm not saying I don't get hungry but it seems like I can control it easier and I don't have to eat as much to be satisfied.

I don't think it is a magical plant but I do believe it is curbing my hunger so I wanted to share my personal experience. If anyone else out there is using it I would love to hear your experience.
Eric...

How do you know that these supplements actually contain hoodia? There have been several cases (TrimSpa Hoodia in particular) where these pills didn't have any hoodia at all. The hoodia plant does have an appetite suppressing effect AND is supposed to make you feel very virile and energetic. The native people of south Africa used them during long hunting trips to help sustain them through days without food. The problem is that there is no regulation on these diet supplements so you don't REALLY know what is in them.

Which product do you use?

Personally,

I use DEX-L10 Hoodia Gordoni.

It comes with a copy of the shipping certificate showing actual Hoodia that was shipped. I don't know

f that's true or not, but I'm sold.

Ericwiz, I concur with your comments above about Hoodia. It did the same thing for me to when I was taking under 1000ca/day.  With CC though, I don't need it anymore everyday. Eating around 1200-1400ca/day is more than plenty for me. However when I have parties, I use it so that I won't be tempted to eat more than I need.  It works great for me especially when I take it with a snack (not in an empty stomach).

Hey and Oprah Loves Hoodia, right? I can't believe this thread is over a year old.
