Hoodia anyone??



Recommended Posts

Anyone ever hear of Hoodia?

sleep.< /p>

Would love to hear others opinions on this or if any of you have tried it or heard of it. For me it is worth a try at this point. I refuse to gain this weight back !!!!

How do you order it? How much is it?!!!

Sounds very interesting, and I'd try it in a heartbeat unless someone could convince me otherwise. Anyone heard or experienced anything negative?

I don't know much about Hoodia, but my PCP told me about a new drug coming out soon called rimonabant. It is supposed to stop food cravings and can even help smokers quit. I still feel the band if the way for me, but this new med may be helpful to some. ~Good Luck~ regardless of what you decide to do. I'm sure it is difficult to be without your band.

i have tried hoodia. it does take hunger away. i usually take two in the morning and im good to go. sometimes if i know im going somewhere that i know will be tempting i will take another one. it seems to do the trick. of course you still have to have some type of control because otherwise you really could keep eating. but give it a try. i got mine on ebay.

So I've used it. I get it at the Health food Store. I used it quite a bit when I first got my band and was adjusting to the new way of eating and on liquids only.

I'm super over sensitive to drugs and I have to say, this didn't bother me at all, which is a good sign.

It worked REALLY well right at first. Super well. I was very happy with it. But I found over time that it takes more and more to keep the same good effect. I think I realized when I was taking ten capsules at a time that this just wasn't working anymore. It worked great while it worked then it ceased working at all.

Good luck with it.

Isn't this the stuff Anna Nicole Smith is selling on those TV commercials? I say if it works for you, go for it, but I'm not feeling very certain that she lost 150 with TrimSpa (Hoodia is the main ingredient)...

According to the article link LaMadam posted, Trimspa barely has any hoodia in it and it's really false advertising. Check it out, since I just breezed through that part...but Anna didn't lose her weight with TrimSpa, IMO!!! :omg:

I bowl with a lady who recently lost weight and looks great. She was using the hoodia and says she loves it!

hello all. Just a heads up, I wouldn't waste your money on the hoodia. I researched it and purchased the brand that was guaranteed to be authentic. My friend and I both tried it and it didn't curb either of our appetites. Maybe you'll have better luck though.

Sounds like just another gimmick diet pill that perhaps you can lose on for awhile, but will gain it all back. Just my opinion, which isn't worth a whole lot, except I've tried most everything on the market.

Michelle,

Ive heard of it - and knew it was sold at the Health food Stores... thats about all I know.

When should you get yours in?

Heck, give us the ordering info - we can ALL try this together and compare notes. :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
