Welcome! My name is Travis Van Slooten - the Founder and Editor of HoodiaAndWeightLoss.com I first read about hoodia in 2006. Until then, I never heard about it even though it was one of the most popular diet pills on the market. To be completely honest with you, I’m not a big fan of diet pills but for some reason hoodia gordonii fascinated me.

It’s been around for centuries, is all natural, can be an effective appetite suppressant, and so far doesn’t have any side effects. Rarely do you find something like this in the supplement industry. I was so fascinated by it that I spent a great deal of time learning more about it.

The first thing I learned was that there was so much misinformation out there. Sadly, so many dieters were getting ripped off because of all this bogus information. I decided to create an entire website on hoodia and weight loss to help dieters separate fact from fiction.

Most websites promoting hoodia would have you believe that it’s some kind of miracle weight loss pill. All hoodia has the potential to do is suppress appetite. It is not a stimulant so it does not increase metabolism or burn fat. You’ll notice I said it has the “potential” to suppress appetite. The reality is, hoodia doesn’t work for everyone so don’t buy into the hype that all you have to do is pop a few hoodia pills and you’ll magically lose weight or never have the desire to eat again!

There are many hoodia products to choose from but unfortunately most of them don’t contain authentic hoodia gordonii - or they contain so little of it that it won’t do anything to suppress appetite. You need to be an informed consumer before you buy hoodia diet pills to avoid being scammed. You don’t want to throw your money away or put yourself at risk by taking inferior products that might contain ingredients you don’t need. While there are a few hoodia products I highly recommend as shown on my best rated hoodia page, there is enough information on this website to help you decide for yourself what products are best (or if hoodia is even right for you in the first place).

Just remember that regardless of what hoodia diet pills you decide to try, they only address one small piece of the weight loss puzzle - your appetite. To get optimal weight loss results you still need to maintain a healthy, balanced diet and you need to move around a little! It doesn’t need to be anything rigorous. A brisk walk or other moderate activity can go a long way in helping you lose weight.
