Does Hoodia Make You Lose Weight?

Hi Travis! I have no clue what hoodia actually does to the body. Is hoodia a fat burner and does it make you lose weight? I also wanted to know which is the best hoodia available in the market (safest) and which has the best results. There are sooo many hoodia companies it’s very confusing. -Linda

Thanks for the inquiry! You’re not alone about all the confusion over hoodia and weight loss. There is so much misinformation floating around out there it’s enough to drive a person crazy. That’s the main reason I started this website over a year ago now. My goal is to clear the confusion and set the record straight about hoodia and weight loss!

First, about hoodia gordonii - at best, it is just an appetite suppressant. It is not a fat burner and will do absolutely nothing in terms of “losing the weight for you.” In other words, it is not a stimulant so it will not increase metabolism. All hoodia has the potential to do is suppress your appetite. I say “potential” because it doesn’t work for everyone. Some people simply don’t respond to it. In addition, it usually takes several hundred milligrams of hoodia per day for it to work (2,250-3,000mg per day).

Authentic hoodia (and that is the key) has been proven to be very safe with virtually no side effects. Hoodia gordonii contains a molecule called P57 that tricks the brain into thinking it is full. That is how it works. If you want more details, you can read my article about how hoodia works.

If you find yourself hungry all the time and as a result of your hunger you tend to overeat (or eat unhealthy foods and snacks), then hoodia might be worth considering. If this doesn’t describe you I would not recommend it. If this does describe you, however, then hoodia might be worth a shot. Stick with those brands I have listed on my best rated hoodia page as they have all been verified to contain 100% authentic hoodia gordonii without any other ingredients. Of the four brands I have listed, I recommend Desert Burn over the others right now because it has 750mg per capsule and the best prices right now - especially if you use my exclusive Desert Burn coupon.

If you don’t think hoodia diet pills are the best solution for you (or you try them and they don’t work), then there are a few other weight loss resources I recommend. I’m not an advocate of diet pills so these resources are not “quick fix” resources - sorry. However, they will provide detailed information to help you achieve your goals - and they are much cheaper (and more effective) than hoodia diet pills!

You can read about the first two weight loss resources in the recent article I just wrote the other day about hoodia and emotional eating (the resources are listed towards the end of the article).

The other resource is Global Fitness. Read my brief Global Fitness review and if you think their program is something you’d like to try, contact me and I can get you the 30-day trial for only 95 cents (instead of the regular price of $9.95).

I hope this is enough information to get you started! Best of luck to you in reaching your goals!
