Hoodia Gordonii Side Effects
Secondly, there have been no widespread clinical trials
examining the safety of hoodia as a nutritional supplement.
Although no problems have been reported to my knowledge,
and the African tribesman apparently chew hoodia with no
ill effects, the fact is that hoodia may have side effects
we do not yet fathom when distributed to the public at large.
Although there's nothing in the research that shows hoodia
to be dangerous for people who wish to experiment with this
appetite suppressant, there's also nothing to show that
it's 100% safe for everyone (you can research hoodia gordonii
articles and other information free at www.webseed.com).
This isn't a traditional Chinese herb that has thousands
of years of medicinal use to back it up, for example. It's
not something that comes with a convincing amount of evidence
for long-term use by indigenous cultures. Even the San tribesmen
only used it sparingly. They weren't taking this herb every
day like many Americans plan to. And what is the safety
of this herb for pregnant women? I don't think that question
has been sufficiently addressed. My own experience with
hoodia In addition to my skepticism about the studies conducted
on hoodia so far, my own experience with hoodia uncovers
some additional questions. Naturally, I tested hoodia on
myself for quite some time (several months). During that
time, I carefully noted my level of hunger three times a
day (rating my appetite on a scale of 1 to 10), and noted
my dosage of hoodia gordonii. Here's what I learned:
• Hoodia does help suppress your appetite, but
there are many caveats, as you'll see below.
• The dosage of hoodia necessary to truly suppress
my appetite was far, far larger than the dosages claimed
by many websites selling hoodia. While some hoodia formulas
contain only 100mg of hoodia per serving, I found that
I needed 1000mg of hoodia three times a day to have any
real effect. That's three grams of hoodia per day, and
the cost adds up quickly.
• Hoodia does not counteract the blood sugar drops
that occur following the consumption of refined carbohydrates
like soft drinks, cookies, white bread, white rice and
other simple carbohydrates. In fact, on days that I ate
carbs, my appetite wasn't lowered at all. Hoodia only
appeared to work in conjunction with a controlled carbohydrate
diet. And some would say that a controlled carb diet works
by itself anyway (which is partly true, but in my case,
I also have to give some credit to the hoodia).
• Hoodia in no way stops your body from feeling
intense hunger after a heavy workout. When I engage in
strength training, I feel ravenous within minutes. Of
course, I train harder than 99% of the people out there,
but let this be a lesson: if you work out hard, you're
still going to feel hungry, hoodia or not. In other words,
hoodia doesn't cause your body to lose its mind. Your
muscles still scream out for calories.
In other words, in my experience, hoodia was a help, but
it was not at a miracle pill. It didn't just shut off my
hunger like a light switch. It was an aid, yes, but I had
to take a lot of hoodia to have any effect, and I still
had to control my food choices or the hoodia offered no
help whatsoever.
With this said, it is notable that I still use hoodia,
and here's how: I now use the tincture exclusively, and
I use it in the evening to help control late-night cravings.
Even though I'm skeptical about the safety of long-term
use of this product, I consider it safe for occasional use
— but that's just my own opinion, and I know I have
stronger liver function than most people. Your results may
vary. I personally believe hoodia to be perfectly safe,
and I have chosen to make it part of my collection of nutritional
supplements that I use to maintain ideal health and body
weight. Whether you make the same choice is entirely up
to you.

Hoodia Gordonii Plant Extract - Weight
Loss
Hoodia does not release you from responsibility. If you
choose to purchase hoodia, make sure you have realistic
expectations about what will really be required to lose
weight. On the Internet, hoodia is frequently promoted as
a magic bullet solution. "Lose weight almost like magic!"
But in reality, it isn't magic, and weight loss isn't really
automatic. Let me explain.
Taking hoodia is not a license to eat. If you keep eating
like you always have, you're going to gain weight. Hoodia
doesn't change the laws of physics. What is does is suppress
your hunger, allowing you to take control over your eating
instead of letting your genes do the driving.
The only way you're going to lose weight is to eat less.
Hoodia, in large enough doses, may give you the tool to
do that, freeing you from the prison of hunger pangs. But
hoodia can't control your arms, your mouth and your tongue.
If you keep on eating, you're gonna get fat, plain and simple.
Also, hoodia isn't going to get you into shape. If you
really want to lose weight, the best thing you can do for
your body is boost your resting metabolism. And the number
one way to do that is to add some lean muscle mass to your
body by engaging in cardiovascular exercise (walking, jogging,
and so on) and strength training.
Just because the people in the hoodia study sat on their
butts and still lost weight doesn't mean that's the best
way to do it. I suggest you go do something while taking
hoodia. With your hunger turned down and your metabolism
turned up, you just might find yourself burning 1500 calories
a day or more, causing even more rapid weight loss!
Hoodia Gordonii Diet Pill
One more warning for the truly desperate: I know there
are a few people out there who are thinking, "I'll
just take a mega-dose of hoodia and turn off my hunger completely.
I won't eat for days, until the fat disappears, and then
when I'm slim and trim I'll start eating again."
This sort of plan is not only medically dangerous, it is
utterly stupid. Only a fool would attempt to lose weight
in such a radical way. Don't even try it. Fact is, if you're
losing more than a pound a day, you're ill in some way and
need to feed yourself some healthy nutrition!
Don't mega-dose with hoodia. If you take twenty pills or
drink an entire bottle of hoodia tincture, chances are you
will just make yourself sick and waste your money.
Don't be stupid with this: lose weight gradually. Drink
a lot of clean water, exercise regularly, lay off the refined
carbs, and take hoodia in reasonable doses (I take around
30 drops of hoodia tincture each evening).
And, as always, get some medical advice from a competent
practitioner. If your goal is to lose weight, educate yourself
about nutrition first. Do your homework. Be healthy, okay?
