I really don't know, sorry. But in the 60 Minutes episode - which I say - it worked right away. However, they were eating the cactus right out of the ground and it was a much stronger dose.
I'd give it some time. Can't hurt.

Call me crazy, but I am pretty sure the Hoodia pills I just bought today are already working. After reading the reviews, I figured it couldn't hurt to try the 20-day Hoodia pills at Walgreens for under $20. I took one mid-afternoon and then forgot about it. I started feeling a little strange, like I was really full, and honestly had completely ignored the feeling thinking it was just from lunch (although I hardly ate at lunch!). Then I knew I needed a snack and protein so that I wouldn't overeat or eat junk when I get home from work (I am usually starving by the time I walk in the door at home).. I tried eating the Special K protein bar (chocolate peanut) which is actually REALLY tasty... and I couldn't even finish it. I started to realize that I truly am FULL and can't keep eating. This is veryveryvery early I am aware, but the fact that I even noticed it is great. Even if it is just a placebo (making me *think* it's working.. and mind over matter)... whatever it takes! I am using this with a very strict exercise regimen (I do strength training 2x a week with a personal trainer, as well as cardio 2-3x a week for 45 mins each), as well as watching calories (I try to make it a point to have a deficit of at least 500 calories a day).
All I can say is I am hoping this helps aid me in my weight loss. I have been very frustrated lately due to a lack of weight loss... although I am happily accepting the muscle I have gained from working with my PT! I will keep all updated to see if this Hoodia stuff truly works, or if it is just a figment of my imagination. =)

WOW your lucky because i have been taking these ones and it will be 1 week tomorrow and i swear i dont feel any different ... i take double the recommended dose on the bottle which is 1 400mg twice daily so i am taking 2 400mg twice daily and still nothing GRRRRRRR
The kind i have is called Hoodia Hoodia and it says it is 100% pure Hoodia Gordini or however you spell the last work.
What kind are yours? Maybe i need to try another brand.

The kind I have says "20-Day Hoodia Diet" that has green tea & african Hoodia gordonii. Maybe it is a combo of the green tea + hoodia that made it work right away. About 2 hours after taking the first pill though I became exhausted! Now, it's the first day, so I'm not sure if it was because of the pill (it shouldn't be, because the pill has natural caffeine) or if it's just because sometimes I get tired @ certain times of the day. My head feels kinda funky, but occasionally I get these normal headaches that just feel like my head is cold (Weird?).. I'm not sure, again, if it's normal or due to the new pill. In a couple days I will know for sure if it's actually working to curb my appetite & if these are side effects. I may also discuss it with my personal trainer tonight to see the kinds of stories he's heard.. if any.
Good luck to you! I hope mine works so that both you & I can experience the effects Hoodia is supposed to give us :)

2nd day... I'm feeling a little sick & woke up in the middle of the night anxious and a little shakey. Still, don't know if it is the Hoodia that is doing it, but I am keeping a close watch on it. It has definitely curbed my appetite. I had a V8 at 8:30 this morning and have not had to have a snack yet and it is 11am. Usually I am hungry for a snack by 10 after eating a bigger breakfast than just a V8.
However, the Hoodia kind of scares me because we are not supposed to get under 1,000 calories a day.. with Hoodia curbing an appetite so much, it's way too easy to get under that.
Will continue to keep posted...

Hi,
Just thought that I'd share my experience with Hoodia. I've lost 34 pounds the old fashioned natural way but have been battling my appetite the entire time. Since I didn't want to start on diet pills and gimmicks, I tried glasses of water, fruit, etc but I'd be soooo hungry. So, I've been supplementing with extra exercise (at least 350 minutes of cardio + strength training a week) but really wanted to get my hunger under control.
I got the very expensive bottle on a Tuesday evening and took one as soon as I opened the box. I took one Wednesday morning about 45 minutes before eating breakfast. In the afternoon, I had a headache and realized that I forgot to eat my midmorning snack and lunch. Forgot? I never ever (EVER) forget to eat!
Since then, I noticed that I feel much fuller with less food. I know I'm hungry because I get a little headache and my stomach growls but I don't feel the ravenous hunger that I usually do. It's really helping me to eat what I should instead of eating to fill my belly and satisfy my super strong appetite.
I'm sticking with 400mg (twice a day) so that I can be sure to get in my minimum nutrition. I can see how it does have the potential for someone to starve themselves. It's a bit spendy but, so far, I'm glad I gave it a shot.Last edited on 15 Dec 2007 10:35 pm by

Thank you for sharing this. I have some, but haven't tried it. I may give it a try though after reading this. Especially now after being in Thanksgiving mode of snacking on sweets!

I have tried 3 different brands now all different strengths ... all being the pure Hoodia Gordonii from South Africa and all coming with the certificates of authenticy.
Well NONE did anything different then if i wasnt taking them ... i gave some to my friend and MIL and one said she felt a little less hungry and the other said nothing difference.
I realy thinks its a mind over matter thing and all in your head ... once you take them you have it drilled in your head that these will make you feel less hungry so when you do take one you have yourself believing they are working.
Pure garbage and a waste of money on my part.
I will do excercise and try to limit my food intake and what i eat on my own and i will lose weight for free.
Good luck to those of you who say it works for you!

cath1024,
Sorry it didn't work for you. It doesn't for everyone.
Just a note to remind anyone purchasing from the company this site recommends:
http://www.thelegacywebsite.com/products_hoodia.php
You can get your money back if it doesn't help you!

The first ones i tried were the HOODIA HOODIA 400mg
I cant remember the names of the other 2 bottles but they both came with certificates and all the legal paper were included in the bottles.
I dont have them anymore as i gave them away but i could ask my friend and MIL the names of the other 2.

koolaid,
Have you read the Tutorials on this website?
It concerns me that you are putting too much of your energy into pills. They are never a long-term solution to diet and weight loss. Which is why since I started this website over seven years ago I have never recommended or sold one -- except for Hoodia. And Hoodia isn't a magic pill.
In surpressing your appetite, Hoodia can make things easier. But the answer to weight loss is education, and the Tutorials are a good place to start.

Hello everybody. I have been lurking on this forum for quite a while now, and just wanted to share my experience with the people at powerdiscovery.com, who sells the Hoodia pills that are recommend on this site :)
I ordered one glass of Hoodia pills the 2. of December last year, after a month passed by without seeing the pills, i wrote Powerdiscovery an email asking if they had sent my package yet. I never got an answer to that.
Another month and a half went by, and i finally received a package from Powerdiscovery. But after picking it up at the post office, i found that they had sent the wrong pills. They had sent a bottle of Acai Berry pills. I wrote them another email asking what we could do to solve the situation, but to this day i havent received an answer.
So im stuck with a bottle of pills which are unusable for me, because its to expensive to mail the pills back as i live i Denmark. 50 bucks right down the drain for me :(
