The Hoodia Pill...

Okay, so we've all seen this fad about the part that Hoodia plays in weight loss. The real deal is that there are a lot of regulations in the distribution of Hoodia Gordonii and most facilities don't have what it takes to sell you the real thing. They might swear up and down and even give you the load of crap with all of their fake testimonies, but trust me... it's not the real thing. In fact there is another cactus like plant that a lot of companies have been using in place of the real thing. Gutzy eh? The sad truth of it is that there are a lot of desperate people out there who fall into that trap putting really high hopes on these products, only to be incredibly disappointed AND out of a lot of money.

Here are a few things to watch out for. First, there is no such thing as a 20:1 extract. No company could afford to distribute that dose and charge the amount of money that they do. It would cost thousands to distribute that kind of ratio. Also, there are special certificates that need to be issued as well as displayed on the manufacturers website. Keep in mind, quite a few companies will try to fool you by taking really bad screen shots. My point: if you can't read it, move on.

Another thing to look out for is the "Free Trial"... RUN!!! RUN FAR AWAY! Yeah right! The deal is that Hoodia is so expensive that it would cost a company lots of money to do that which, really just doesn't make "sense" (no pun intended) to distribute it for free.

I've tried them all. Hate to say it too. But I have. Yep! I've wasted a ton of money trying to find what works. The truth is that the only thing that has worked for me was a strict diet and... you got it! Exercise! I know what you're thinking and I thought it too. I'm not to fond of exercise either... at least I didn't used to be. Now I've actually grown quite fond of it. You see, I'm kind of a spaz so it does the trick when I need to blow off some steam.

Please don't get caught up in the hype of Hoodia! It does work but it's way too expensive to get the real deal. Besides, the promise of Hoodia is that you won't eat because you don't get hungry. Why would you not want to eat? Food is so awesome! Especially when it's good for you as well as pleasing to the taste buds! Not to mention the fact that if you really want to lose weight, you actually have to eat! I know it goes against everything we've all been brought up to think.

Instead, try drinking a lot of water (or in my case, Crystal Light) to curb your cravings. Also, when you start having an uncontrolable craving, GO BRUSH YOUR TEETH! That works as well. It also keeps your teeth clean!!! Yay! Gum is good too. Just make sure it's sugar free. If that doesn't work... well, take a picture of yourself naked... that oughta change your mind! Well of course unless your like my girlfriend Meesh who has an unbelievable body but still wants to lose a couple pounds here and there.

Good luck to you! More to come!
