Anyone hear of Hoodia- I am starting a diet with it today

[Iceman]

Here is the scoop:

I am not a big guy. I am 5-10.5 200lbs. Normal size but have put on my winter coat. Thru the years I have always been able to gain and lose weight about 20 lbs back and forth. One year I actually lost 34 pounds.

Everytime I lose weight I just go on a low caloire (1,500 or so) diet and it works everytime.

Had a buddy tell me about hoodia as it is something that helps curb your appetite.

Has anyone here used it? I am taking 2 pills 1 hour before lunch and dinner.

Weighed in 207.5, purposely bulked up the last few days about 4 extra pounds because I know how easy to lose the first 5 lbs are.

Will keep you posted every other day or so with an official weigh in.

My goal is to lose 20lbs by May 15th. 2lbs a week.

I picked up a couple bottles of it about 3 months ago, and was taking it religiously each day along with zenatrol...I was obviously over dosaging, not taking the recommended amounts of anything, but i was never hungry, very rarely ate, maybe once ever 3 days or so, and it was something lite...I was living off water basically (or if i was really hungry, i would have 1 slim fast shake a day, 190 calories) and felt fine...I lost pretty close to 40lbs in less then a 2 month span that way...I would get up in the AM and walk for around 1/2 hour then do about 45 minutes before bed time, i had to tire myself out from the ephedra in the zenatrol or else i would never sleep...Since i ran out of the hoodia, i pretty much am back to my old ways of eating and its crazy to relize how that 1 pill cured my appettite so much...Lost ambition and have gained a few lbs back, kinda depressing...I plan on grabbing some more again myself and get back to the old ways...GL with it, i high recommend it in everyway..:toast:

Sniper, what brand\mg level did you get? I've seen some (biased) reviews of there are a lot of "low quality" brands for sale.

Thanks

how many at a time/day?

I have did it 2 days and pretty good so far. Will weigh myself Friday. Go thru spurts right now. Like the second it wears off I am hungry or right when I start to eat I cant stop or want more.

I took 2 when i first woke up, whenever that may be, no later then 10.. Then took 2 at 3, then i finished with 1 around 6 or 7.. I was taking 5 a day, sometimes i would only do 1 at 3, if i felt i was not gettting hungry at all...

Thanks for the info, I've got a couple bottles on the way.

This Zenatrol stuff seems to be phased out or in tight supply, probably ought to jump if you want some.

How much does this cost?

Bought some last week and decided to give it a try. Bought a bottle at a local vitamin store was $12 for 60 pills. Have to say so far it is working. I have been taking 3 pills per day, 1 when I wake up, 1 at lunch time and 1 about 5-6 pm. I do not feel hungry at all. So far so good.

what are you gonna do once you stop taking this stuff though? I am very against any gimmick diet, anyone can lose the weight they want with the proper nutrition and exercise

I have only been taking the pills for a few days but I am finding that it is making me less hungry and therefore eating less. Best way to lose weight is eat less and exercise more. One of my big problems is snacking between meals and eating late at night. So far the pills have stopped those snacks. I do work out 3-4 days a week 30-40 minutes of cardio but I have not lost any weight. Going to try these pills for 30 days and see if it helps any.

If that's the case, then why are there so many fat people. Proper nutrition and exercise takes time, money & discipline.
