What is the Hoodia Diet?
Hoodia Gordonii is a plant that grows native to areas of South Africa and has been ingested by local Bushmen for many years to suppress their appetite during long journeys. The Hoodia diet is built around the theory that when consuming the active ingredient P57, found in the Hoodia plant, a person will have less desire to eat and therefore have a lower consumption of food during the day. And less food usually equates to weight loss. It's as simple as that, except that this claim has yet to be scientifically proven.
Regardless of the lack of scientific proof behind Hoodia products, and the Hoodia diet, there are numerous brands of the Hoodia diet pill available on the market, along with many consumers willing to test the theory. Read more on the subject under Hoodia Weight Loss or Does Hoodia Work?
