I have a ravinous appetite. Once I start eating - it's difficult to stop. Portion control means nothing to me. My weight has gotton to the point that I can't do the things I really enjoy like skiing and hiking.
This product is not a panecea. It doesn't take away any thought of food for me like it seems to for other people. I find it makes it much easier to plan for meals and eat the right amounts. One thing I discovered - heavier people need more product. It makes sense. So don't give up if you think it's not working - try taking more per day and well before the time you eat. The recommended 1 hour is not enough for me. It definitely makes a difference - I'm taking off 3-5 lbs per week.

This is the third hoodia product that I've tried and it works. It curbs your appetite. Make sure you drink at least 10-12 ounces of H2O when you take the hoodia and throughout the day.

this is my experience with hoodia - specifically this brand, millenium health - so far

i did some research on appetite suppresants before deciding to try hoodia. i had lost weight following nutrisystem, 30 pounds, and kept it off successfully, but i still have about 100 pounds to lose, so i wanted some help.

i can't take stimulants because of some other medications i take, and had heard good and bad about hoodia, so i decided to give it a try. i then did a little bit of research about the different brands, strengths, and claims of the different hoodia products. what i learned told me that there were only three importers of actual hoodia gordonii, one of which is millenium health. i checked out all three websites and decided to try millenium health since one of the other suppliers was twice the cost of millenium health and the other supplier was 3 times the cost.

i ordered one bottle about a week ago. it arrived two days ago, and i started taking it yesterday morning. i noticed nothing. i took it again at night. i took it again this morning.

i had heard two things about hoodia. one, from millenium health's website said to give the product a month to begin working, and i was prepared to give it that long. two, i had heard from my other research and reviews from people who said it worked for them that hoodia suppresses both appetite AND THIRST, so if you take it you have to have an eating plan AND a water intake plan so as not to dehydrate yourself and adversely affect your health.

it is now the end of the second day on hoodia. now, understand that the medication that i take affects how fast i metabolise any other things that i put it my body. this means that if i drink 1 beer for instance, it takes my body longer to clear it from my system than if i were not taking my medication. or, for instance, if i added a second medication to my daily regimen, whereas without my current medication i might have to take two pills of the second medication to keep that medication at or above a current level in my bloodstream, with my current medication it might only take one pill of the second medication to keep it at or above the same level. so, that might be the reason i experienced hoodia the way i did. or, it might not be affecting it at all.

here's my experience so far; all of today, not only have i had no appetite, but the act of eating is actually distasteful to me. i feel gross after one bite of food, and i can;t eat any more. i'm aware of being hungry, but it is nowhere near uncomfortable to be so, and i eat one bite, and then i'm not hungry anymore. this supplement has REALLY made it evident to me that MOST of the times i eat, if not all, it has not been because i am hungry, but because i am bored, or just eating for fun or diversion. and when i do pick up food for those purposes, i take one bite and it is all i can do to keep from spitting it out. i have noticed absolutely no side effects so far, including no problems with the medication i take. i have not noticed a difference in thirst as of yet. if you are going to use this appetite suppressant, definitely have an eating plan already outlined for you. definitely make sure you are taking a multivitamin so that you are doing your best to get adequate nutrients into your body. definitely have a water intake plan outlined.

plans for the future; i take the vitamin shoppe ultimate women's daily paks every day (i HIGHLY recommend these vitamins, i used to have medically intolerable periods, now i have no symptoms of pms and it is ALL thanks to these vitamins). i use nutrisystem and will cointinue to do so on hoodia. i will continue to use hoodia, this brand, and i have not decided yet whether i will stay with two pills daily or cut back to just one. i also own a treadmill which i actually use for exercise( i also highly recommend treadmill ownership, i'm emotionally attached to my treadmill, who i have named Ivan the Treadmill, because i am a (fat) nerd (soon to be a skinny nerd).)

i will update this review as i continue using this product.

I wrote a review for Mega Hoodia also. I tried Mega Hoodia first then switched to Hoodia Hoodia.

Basically I was taking 3 (mega hoodia) before lunch and 3 before dinner for 750mg each time. It did reduce my appetite but I felt an empty feeling between meal, so I was still thinking about food. I had a fight a bit not to eat snack. As for Hoodia Hoodia, I take only 1 (400mg) before meal and it actually makes me feel FULL after eating a very small portion. I also don't think about food as often between meal.

Hoodia Hoodia is for real, it works.

I ordered 3 bottles for my wife and I March 1. I lost from 202 to 180 by April 20. My wife lost 15 lbs in the same time frame. You must have an eating, vitamin, and fluid plan to use in conjunction with the Hoodia Hoodia. I took one at 10 one at 3 and sometimes one at 8 if I craved evening snacks. My eating plan was 1000 to 1200 calories a day, with 20 minutes of exercise bike every other day.

I just got it today, and I took it exactly as directed. It is noticeable as long as you hold out for that first hour while it hits you. It's very powerful and changes the entire way you experience food and eating. It doesn't make food taste bad or anything, everything tastes the same, and you do feel hungry, but once you start eating, the act of chewing and swallowing kind of feels like work for some reason, and you eat for a while, but then you give up because you get board and only eat about half of what you normally would, if even that. The only side effect I have is a headache. It's not severe, it's tolerable, but it is noticable. I would guess that the reason I have a headache from it is the same reason you would get a headache if you skipped a meal, just because of the low blood sugar and stuff, and your pancreas is still releasing the normal amount of insulin because it expects more, but I think with time my pancreas and hormones and stuff will adapt to it. And again, only time will tell if it actually helps with weight loss. I have concerns about the effect it might have on the metabolism, and I wonder how much of my weight loss will be fat, and how much will be muscles, water, or bones. I bet taking a vitamin pill will help with that, so I'll probably do that too. Since I just started today, I don't know how much it will do, if it will continue working or become less effective over time, I really don't know yet, but if I loose weight on this bottle, I'll order another and write another review and let you all know.

I feel much less hungry most of the time, however I forget to even drink water. If I forget to take them then the next day all I want to do is eat, but then the next day I am not hungry at all. I think they work as an appetite suppressant, but I worry a bit about water intake and outgo - since it seems to be limiting that.

I guess I'm like so many people looking for a "magic weight loss pill". Well,don't waste your money on this !! I've noticed absolutely no difference since taking it. Eat less; exercise more!!

I understand that these things work differently for different people, but this did not work at all for me, despite me eating healthy and exercising.

Not only did this product NOT suppress my appetite, it seemed to increase it! I got no affect at all, not even placebo. Maybe I didn't give it long enough (a few days), but I thought the affect (not the results) was immediate?
