Hoodia from Schmeg.com

   

What is Hoodia?? It could, quite possibly, be the best thing for obese people since Nutrasweet. Let me tell you about it..

Hoodia is a cactus like plant - looks like a a spiny cucumber, that is found in the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa. Bushmen, there, have been eating this plant for centuries to fight off hunger pangs during long hunting trips. The numerous reports that I have read leaves me with little doubt that the gordonii variation of Hoodia suppresses appetites. This type of hoodia contains a molecule (P57) that has similar effects on nerve cells as glucose, and tricks the brain into the sensation of fullness. Apparently, it has been proven to reduce caloric intake by 1000 calories per day.

Hoodia was profiled on 60 Minutes last year and Leslie Stahl even tried some and her appetite vanished for the rest of the day.

Hoodia is available in pill, capsule and liquid form. It is a bit expensive at around $40 a bottle but that should be coming down as large plantations of Hoodia are being grown in South Africa. Synthetic varieties of Hoodia are not a viable alternative to the natural variety as it is too expensive to produce in any large quantities.
