It's an herb from Africa (Hoodia gordonii) that supresses appetite. It's been talked about on Oprah and all that.

The problem is, the herb is rare (only the one grown in south Africa has the chemical that kills appetite) and lots of people who claim they are selling hoodia either aren't or are selling it mixed in with other stuff. Some study (can't remember who did it) said over half the "hoodia" on the market contained NO hoodia at all. So I'm sticking to diet and excercise for now. It's slow, but it works. (And this "alli" thing is gross, I'm dieting to be more attractive, I'm not sure but I'm betting "anal leakage" is not a good look.)

I think you may be right!

Thanks for the reply. I’ve never heard of it before.

I never thought I’d find myself in this position, being thin all of my life, but this year I hit a point where the weight came on and despite excercise and diet, the weight loss isn’t happening.

I don’t think I’d want to try any new product though. Usually a year later some kind of health risk with the new product is discovered. And I definitely wouldn’t deal with the anal leakage. Gross!
