My dress size has gone from a 12 to a 6!!!!! And I'm wearing size 8 jeans (maybe a size 6 shortly, the 8's were feeling a bit too comfortable...)
At no time have I considered the hoodia a magic cure -- I've consistently stayed low-carb, and I've carefully watched what I eat, making sure I have adequate protein, etc., etc. I also exercise each and every morning.
I have every intention of buying a supply of the hoodia (I take Desert Burn) and using it (as needed) for maintenance.
This past week has been a major test for the hoodia -- my daughter was married Saturday. I made the wedding dress and the flower girl's dress, did a lot of the wedding planning/running around, and dealt with a very stressed-out bride who managed to get angry with each of her sisters (all of whom were in the wedding party). My husband and I stayed in a motel (the wedding was out-of-town for us), and ate out every meal. The actual wedding had only "nibble food" -- lots of cookies, wedding cake, sweet punch, etc., etc. Not once was I tempted off the low-carb regime, and I kept my eating very much on track!
I do not take a full dose of hoodia -- typically I take one capsule as I leave work -- and this past weekend I would take one whenever I started feeling hungry (never took more than 3 in one day).
For me it absolutely works. I tried everything else over the years, so I very much doubt there's any "placebo" effect -- else the CLA or trimspa or growth hormone or .... would have worked.
