WAVE 3 TV Puts Hoodia to the Test and So Far It Looks Promising

WAVE 3, an NBC television affiliate in Louisville, Kentucky, is putting hoodia to the test. It started in late February where the television station recruited three “hoodia hopefuls” to see just how effective this popular diet pill was. A couple weeks ago the station did an update on how well the three hopefuls were doing after just three weeks of taking hoodia diet pills.

One hoodia hopeful was a nail technician who had gained 100 pounds over a ten year period and wanted to lose some of the weight she had gained. She said her results with hoodia made a significant difference in her appetite. She said, “I can really tell a difference in my appetite.”

She also said her desire for sweets was curbed and she was starting to feel better about herself. She said, “When I don’t take it, I can tell a difference, so I know this pill is working.”

Another hoodia hopeful was a WAVE 3 Assignment Editor. He had high expectations for hoodia. His goal was to lose 25 to 30 pounds and gain more energy. After three weeks, he said he only lost a couple of pounds but that hoodia had made a noticeable difference in his eating habits. He said, “…it has helped me change how I eat and how much I eat.”

The final hoodia hopeful was a local elementary school principal in her 50s. She had put on 20 pounds in the past five years and was looking to get rid of some of the extra weight. She said she was less hungry and less likely to snack at all.

WAVE 3 will be doing another update on these hoodia hopefuls in the first part of April. While these results look very promising so far, there are a few questions left unanswered. I’d like to know what brand of hoodia they are taking and how much they’re taking. Furthermore, I’d like to know if these hopefuls were making any other changes in their lifestyles while taking hoodia. For example, are they making any changes in their diet and exercise while taking hoodia, or are these results strictly the result of hoodia alone?

I sent an email to Carrie Weil, the WAVE 3 reporter for this story, to see if she can include some of this information in her next update. I’ll keep my eyes out for her next report and let you know what transpires. Either way, I’m still impressed by the results reported so far!
