I was watching Man vs Wild and he ate a plant called hoodia and he said it was to curb his appetite when food is in short supply. After I quit smoking I snacked a lot and found I was always hungry. I saw hoodia in pill form at walmart yesterday and was thinking of trying it to curb my hunger. Has anyone here tried hoodia? Results?

First of all good job on stopping smoking. I'm 26 years in and admire a person that can do it. I've seen hoodia, but never tired it. I do think it is better than most over the counter stuff because it's more of a natural herb than some of the caffinee pills available. Diet pills are dangerous, just as your energy drinks can be, but hoodia I think is different, it's more of a natural way. If you try it, I hope you share your results with us.

I will share cause I think I will give it a go and you are right that many of the other products seem artificial and stuff while this seems more natural. Thanks a lot. It was really hard to quick smoking. I was a pack a day smoker and had smoked for 16 years. Quit December 10th 2007. :)

I love the program too but saw him kill a llama once and hated that. Good advice about the doctor, I have high blood pressure and should see how that could be a factor.

I haven't tried it personally, but have a friend that has. She had great success with hoodia. It really curbed her appetite. She also went on a strict exercise regeim at the same time, so that also help her lose the weight. She has managed to keep it off too. I am also thinking of trying hoodia for my weight loss goals.

Thanks, I think it is a bit pricey but I thought if it can help on the short term till I have a better handle of it myself then I would also like to try.

Hoodia works really well as an appetite suppressant, just make sure it's all natural. Ashli http://www.uniquehoodia.com/
