Green tea and hoodia...

[Gottabringmeback]

I am ussually the most skeptical person when it comes to things like this but I have tried it several times and it works very well. It's fairly cheap and contains both green tea extract (no caffeine) and hoodia. I take two when I wake up and it really helps with cravings and appetite. It's helped on portion control alot. Just thought I would share.

Interesting. I have never tried it but it is good to hear someone else's experience with it.

i took hoodia once because a friend of my bought it and wanted me to try it with her. so I took one in the AM, and didn't eat again until 9pm that night. so yeah it helps with cravings/appetite, but this isn't a starve yourself kind of diet either.

Any side effects? Does it come together in one product (Green tea and Hoodia)? I've seen them seperate, but didn't know they came together in a pill.

When doing Atkins correctly you will get the same benifits as you will find that you get with Hoodia. I still have an unopened bottle of hoodia that I bought a few years back. Never needed it! Atkins works just fine for appetite supresant and portion control.

I agree with Sherri. Appetite suppression is a side-effect of Atkins, specifically due to the lypolysis/ketosis. So taking something to cause appetite suppression is really redundant (and a waste of time and money) while on Atkins, because it happens naturally on Atkins.

Just make sure you eat every 6 hours at least. I wish they had a pill for emotional eating, cause thats my issue. LOL

Don't those appetite suppresants cause heart problems? While it may be safe now, there will be some FDA ban in a few years, so be careful.

Thanks for the replies...just wanted to see what everyone thought about it.

It comes in in one pill that you take twice a day. I take mine both. I have tried the green tea thing and hoodia seperate and found hoodia effective but not as a complete weight loss tool. You absolutely MUST eat small frequent meals and get all your fiber, vitamins, minerals etc in adequate amounts.

I tried this two weeks before atkins to aid in portion control and even if it the placebo effect it's motivating me and I am seeing changes which is helping me not give up. (which won't happen this time at all!!!!)

This is what it looks like:



As far as heart, from what I read both combined at this dosage are fine if you have a good heart. I have not experience negative side effects either time with either product but everyone is different.

Before I started Atkins, I checked just about everything with my dr. and to my suprize for a very obsese (that's what I am considered at 5'4 and almost 250lb) my blood pressure, etc were very good. Even my iron was good even though some other health problems. I believe in some natural remedies, and that everything on earth has a purpose (plants...etc) but I am not a health freak or anything.

Just thought I'd share so other can maybe other that are like me can get some motivation whether it's really working or it's a placebo effect I know I have been feeling satisfied with smaller portions, crave less (def. less sugar and carbs) and just overall have more energy. I am so happy I am finally doing this for myself.

I am using Hydroxycut Hoodia:

I think it has similar ingredients to your pills...

I'm hoping it will take some of the hunger away so that I don't have to eat every 2-3 hours...
