Has anyone tried Hoodia?

I went to the doctor a few weeks ago (about something completely unrelated) and decided to bring up my weight gain. I told her that in about 8 months time I've gained about 30 lbs and wanted to know if she had any suggestions that weren't costly. She told me to try either an all natural appetite suppressant, South African Hoodia or if that didn't work to try Alli. Of course on top of me getting in some form of exercise [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I've been taking 250mg capsules of Hoodia 3 times a day for almost two weeks and started to notice a difference about 3 days ago. Appetite seems to be sufficiently suppressed lol I'm eating about 3/4 to maybe half the amount of food I would normally eat. It's the weirdest sensation, feeling full without being full. I haven't lost any weight yet however which brings me to my question.

Have any of you tried Hoodia? If so what were your results like?

I tried it a while back but it gave me terrible headaches so I had to stop it before I could see results. Maybe you can try cutting back on your carbs and increasing your protein and veggie intake. I saw good results with that.

Thanks for your response NickyMay! It gave me a headache the very first day but I decided to keep at it anyway, at least for a while.

I have been cutting back on my carbs but my diet does lack a suitable amount fruits and veggies. It's still a work in progress at this point

I feel you, deff a work in progress. I just started my workout plan too. Everyone has been talking about p90x and its great results so I've decided to try it. My arms are crazy sore but I'm determined to stick with it. Also, I'm writing down my food intake so I know How im eatting. Maybe you can try that as well. It could reveal how/what you're eatting may be slowwing your progress. Write it all out, down to the mustard you put on your sandwich. Be transparent with yourself, no one else is looking. I had to put myself on blast, with the way I was eatting. writing it down really helped me. It showed me that I dont have to cut out , but cut back on some thingssssss.

That sounds like a great idea! I am going to start doing that
