Hoodia for appetite suppression and
weight loss
Hoodia for appetite
suppression and weight loss
Occasionally you hear so
much about something that you have to get more information.
Hoodia is one of the substances that I just keep hearing
about over and over so I wanted to do some research and pass
it on to our readers.
Hoodia is a cactus like
plant that is found in parts of Africa. Of all the various
forms of Hoodia available, Hoodia Gordonii is the one that
seems to be touting the appetite suppression benefits. Some
people may like the fact that hoodia is not a stimulant but
rather it is believed that hoodia causes the brain to send
very strong signals that the stomach is full even when it is
not. The signals sent are reported to be much stronger than
the signals sent by sugar.
Hoodia is relatively new
on the market so for those of you who are not into
experimenting with themselves; you may want to wait for more
studies to come out on hoodia. I have not been able to find
any studies done on hoodia and weight loss – but I have
found tons of anecdotal evidence.
Anecdotal evidence
sometimes precludes valid scientific findings and sometimes
it turns out to be hype.
If hoodia proves to be a
non-stimulating appetite suppressant, then I could see it
benefiting those trying to cut down on evening eating, those
who have trouble eating several smaller portions throughout
the day, and those who just tend to be overcome by cravings.
Remember supplements are
only a tool in your weight loss/healthy lifestyle arsenal.
If you do decide to
purchase hoodia, make sure you purchase from a company that
is known to be trusted and reputable. Here is my
recommendation of a reliable source for hoodia.
The jury is still out on
hoodia and weight loss and appetite suppression. If you have
any experiences with hoodia, please pass them on to us.
Sometimes anecdotal
evidence leads to scientific studies. (like with creatine
and weight lifting) So if you are willing to experiment and
your doctor has approved, hoodia may be worth trying.
If you have had experience with hoodia please
share them with us.
Wishing you the best of health,
Bill
