How to Use Hoodia for Weight Loss

Hoodia is a primitive natural plant substance that was originally used in Africa by tribes concerned about their food supplies. They migrated across vast, barren landscapes and carried hoodia to prevent hunger pangs. Today, hoodia has morphed into a modern-day dieter's remedy for controlling hunger pangs and aiding weight loss.

Instructions

Use the Right Hoodia Formula

• 1

  Check the label. In the 1990s, scientists identified the weight loss component of hoodia and named it "Molecule P57." This should appear somewhere on the bottle to ensure you get the right formula.

• 2

  Work with your own natural constitution. Because some people have a hard time swallowing pills or capsules, hoodia manufacturers now offer the diet aid in both powders and chewables.

• 3

  Opt for formulas that boast quicker results. For example, products labeled "quick-acting," "fast absorption" or "slow release" may produce faster results and longer-lasting effects.

• 4

  Steer clear of products containing caffeine or other stimulating drugs.

• 5

  Use hoodia exclusively. To judge its effectiveness, experts recommend taking it exclusively over a few weeks without other diet aids.

Reap the Benefits of Using Hoodia for Weight Loss

• 6

  Avoid feelings of discomfort. Many diet aids leave you with feelings of hunger, which may eventually undermine your diet. Hoodia naturally decreases feelings of hunger throughout the day with more lasting effects than other diet aids.

• 7

  Take hoodia when you can't take time to exercise. Hoodia manufacturers say that it reduces caloric intake, thereby reducing your need for physical exercise as a means to weight loss.

• 8

  Opt for hoodia as a more natural alternative than many diet aids on the market. Since hoodia comes from a plant, many formulas are natural and thought to be better accepted by your body. Hoodia supposedly works with your body's natural patterns by sending messages to the brain, signifying feelings of fullness.

• 9

  Follow the directions. Depending on the hoodia formula, you may need one dose or multiple doses daily. Many manufacturers encourage you to experiment within a certain range of dosages to find the amount that benefits you best.
