The Hope Of Hoodia

Sep 27

Posted by admin in Hoodia Gordonii | No Comments

The latest USA statistics show that 58 million people are overweight and 40 million people are obese, with 3 million people being morbidly obese. 8 of 10 people over the age of 25 are overweight. In the UK, statistics show that 46% of men and 32% of women are overweight. That shows that obesity and overweight are practically epidemic – and they are diseases, because being overweight leads to diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis and a host of other related problems, including an early death.

The other problem with being overweight is a social one. Long before “skinny” became fashionable, fat people have been the butt of innumerable jokes.

With “Slim & Fit” being today’s watchwords, making friends, finding partners and even getting ahead in one’s career are all hampered by that excess weight.

But now we have hoodia gordonii. Hoodia gordonii is a succulent plant that grows in the Kalahari Desert of Southern Africa. The San tribes or Bushmen of the Kalahari have eaten it for centuries to suppress feelings of hunger, when their food supplies were low and they needed to go on long hunting expeditions.

The South African government along with a British pharmaceutical company researched hoodia gordonii, and after years of study, they were able to isolate the active ingredient from the inner flesh of the plant, a molecule they named P57.

P57 imitates the action of glucose in the body. It has a direct effect on the hypothalamus, a region in the brain that monitors hunger, thirst and blood sugar. It causes the brain to register the body has eaten, even though no food has been taken. Since P57 is 10,000 times more active than glucose – you can imagine how efficient it is at fooling the brain.

Hoodia gordonii is now available in capsules and tablets. Unlike other diet pills, hoodia gordonii has shown no side effects at all. It is not a stimulant, and neither is it addictive. On the contrary, the patients who have tried pure hoodia gordonii have reported that their levels of energy remained normal and they maintained a general feeling of well-being.

The American Obesity Association, a leading authority on obesity states on their website that medication can be used to treat obesity as a part of the total treatment.

Pure hoodia can be very useful in playing a role here. At the beginning, when you are making your first changes to a low calorie diet, pure hoodia gordonii controls the hunger pangs and makes it much easier to stay with the regime. It controls the old cravings and bad habits that ruined all past endeavors, and once you are well set in your new diet, habits and lifestyle, the hoodia gordonii can be eased off. Of course, should you ever find yourself slipping back into old habits, the hoodia gordonii is right there to help you control yourself.

Unlike other diet pills with their side effects, pure hoodia gordonii is a natural plant and perfectly safe to take. It will not only help you lose weight, but more importantly, hoodia gordonii helps you maintain it – naturally.

Hoodia and Weight Loss

Sep 27

Posted by admin in Hoodia Gordonii | No Comments

To understand how to lose weight, one must understand calories.

What do we know about calories? We are familiar with ideas like “women can have between 1,500 to 2,000 calories daily, and men can have 2,000 to 2,500 calories daily” – and “eating too many calories in a day makes us put on weight”. And for quite a few people, this is the full extent of their knowledge.

We need to know exactly what calories are to understand any weight loss programme we want to undertake. The above statements should actually read kilocalories (kcal) not calories because a calorie is a unit of heat. It is a unit of energy that is equal to the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree centigrade. Being such a small unit, the above equation is usually expressed in terms of kilocalories (kcal) to kilograms of water.

The energy in food is also measured in kilocalories. Proteins and carbohydrates have 4kcal per gram, and fats have 9kcal per gram.  This makes it easy to monitor your diet.

5 grams of butter (fat) = 45 kcal. By counting the number of kcal you eat in a day, you can tell if you are eating more than your daily allowance of kcal – and know why you may be putting on weight!
 
Some dieticians measure the energy of food in kilojoules (kJ).
1 kilocalorie = 4.1868 kilo joules
5 grams of butter = 188.4 kJ

One interesting fact about dieting to lose weight is that your daily allowance of calories will depend on your existing weight. This means that a person who weighs 200 lbs will be given a higher allowance of calories than a person who weighs 150 lbs, even though they are both losing weight at the same rate. This happens because the heavier person requires more calories to just move all that weight around. Of course, as the heavier person starts losing weight, his calorie allowance will go down further.

To lose 1 kilogram of weight, you have to burn 3,500 kcals! This is more than one’s daily allowance, so it has to be done gradually. Eating 500 kcal less than required per day will result in a 1 kilogram loss in weight in a week – a safe and healthy rate at which to lose weight. So you can see the important role calories play in losing weight. Now imagine if your appetite was suppressed so you wouldn’t eat those extra calories a day – that is the promise of pure hoodia gordonii.

One important thing to remember is that your body requires at least 1,200 kcal a day to keep up its normal functions. So never eat less than that in a day. The healthiest weight loss is a gradual one, building new eating habits like the hoodia habit as you go along which will help you maintain your desired weight.

The Hoodia Plant for Weight Loss

Sep 27

Posted by admin in Hoodia Gordonii | No Comments

All those who are interested in knocking off a few pounds must have heard of hoodia. Hoodia has been invested with almost magical properties and the hype that surrounds it is only more proof that the world is searching for an escape from obesity. While the most sensible way for weight loss is to eat well and exercise well, there are many out there who want quick results with little effort.

Hoodia is being touted as the quick fix to this problem. Hoodia belongs to the Apocynaceae family. It is a flowering plant, one of the 13 in that specie. Though loosely called a cactus, it is actually a succulent. The stem of the plant bears water. This may be one reason why the Bushmen have on their hunting trips.

The hoodia plant grows to a height of one meter. It bears large colorful flowers. It can be seen in the desert parts of southern Africa stretching from Namibia to Angola and it can also be grown in a garden. Of all the thirteen species it is the hoodia gordonii that the world is talking about. Specifically about its qualities as an appetite suppressant.

The people of Southern Africa have since long used the hoodia plant as a cure for infections and digestive disorders. The element in pure hoodia that causes appetite to be suppressed is called P57. It was the CSIR or the South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research that first identified and isolated it. Later large drug companies were given the license to synthesize P57. Phytopharm in the UK along with the American company Pfizer worked on this project.

Soon every newspaper and TV channel was talking about it. There was a mad scramble for the hoodia plant. The hoodia grows sparsely in its native conditions. With companies going on a hoodia hunting drive, it was declared to be a protected species. Though the active ingredient has been synthesized, it is not commercially viable. So pressure on finding sources of hoodia has been mounting. This is why there are so many fake hoodia products. Many of these contain no hoodia gordonii, the only specie that has appetite suppressing properties.

There really is very little scientific evidence to support these claims. The only thing to go by is the anecdotal claims made by the desert people. No one should blindly consume pure hoodia gordonii without doing some research on their own. The world is so desperate for a cure from obesity that they are willing to take unwarranted risks with this unknown product.

Hoodia – The Hope For Weight Loss

Sep 26

Posted by admin in Hoodia Gordonii | No Comments

Bad eating habits and the easy availability of junk food, fast food and the frozen food industry have made obesity into one of the biggest “diseases” today. Since Twiggy and the “Shrimp” (Jean Shrimpton) became the models of their times, thin has been in – and women all over the world have done anything and everything they can to become as slim as it is possible to be.  Fashion designers and style magazines use the tallest and thinnest models they can find – male and female. Tall may be a gift of heredity, but thin can be achieved. The male is not left out and both sexes strive for the fashionable figure, using whatever means they can find – pills, diet meals plans, exercise, liposuction and now, even stapling part of the stomach. Trying to lose weight has spawned a multi-billion dollar industry.

And now, a new hope and “miracle” cure has arrived on the horizon….

Hoodia gordonii is a succulent plant that grows wild in the Kalahari Desert of Southern Africa.  For centuries, the native people of the Kalahari Desert, the San tribes (or Bushmen) have eaten this plant to suppress hunger and thirst, during periods when food was scarce. They ate the flesh of hoodia gordonii to suppress their appetites before setting out on long hunting expeditions. There are many species of Hoodia growing all over Africa, but only the hoodia gordonii plant growing in Southern Africa suppresses appetite.

In the 1960s, the South African CSIR (Council for Scientific and Industrial Research) began studying hoodia gordonii. Working with a British pharmaceutical company, Phytopharm, they isolated the active ingredient in hoodia gordonii, a molecule they named P57, which caused loss of appetite. In 1996, CSIR patented P57 and granted a license to Phytopharm. Phytopharm teamed up with the pharmaceutical giant, Pfizer to further test and study hoodia gordonii and to try to synthesize P57 for use in diet pills.

Synthesizing P57 in large enough quantities to make it economically viable proved too difficult and expensive and Pfizer withdrew from the project in 2002. Phytopharm, with the permission of the South African government has cultivated hoodia gordonii in hundreds of acres on plantations in South Africa, with the plan to use the plant itself in weight-loss products.

In the meantime, hundreds of companies are busy manufacturing all kinds of “hoodia” products and releasing them on the market. It would make sense to check the labels on these products carefully to see if they carry a CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) certificate as the plant is on the endangered list and is imported from South Africa. Also check that there is a proper analysis of the ingredients from a certified laboratory authenticating that hoodia gordonii has been used in the product.

After Phytopharm have completed their clinical trials and research, and their “safe and certified” weight loss products come on the market, pure hoodia gordonii will be put to the test. One can only hope it passes with flying colors – there are millions of obese people praying that it does.

Hoodia Weight Loss Scam

Aug 29

Posted by admin in Hoodia Gordonii | No Comments

The way it is advertised, you would think that hoodia is the magic wand that just needs to be waved to solve all your overweight problems. As though it a flash, the pounds would melt away, leaving a trim, slim you. The promises and the claims that you see spouted both in the printed media and on online sites portray hoodia as the great answer to the problem of obesity today.

So why should it be a scam? We don’t say that every brand is running a scam but consumers must be aware that many hoodia manufacturers tom-tom about the goodness of their product when in fact each capsule might contain just a minuscule amount of hoodia gordonii or worse, horror of horrors, there be no hoodia in it at all. How can manufacturers scam their buyers so impudently? Unfortunately, supplement do not go through stringent checks like prescription drugs and they are not scrutinized by the FDA so they get away with a lot of leeway when it comes to the actual contents of their product or of the promises they make. Just because many of these substances are classified as natural, they escape the very strict testing that any drug would have to go through.

When the plant was first identified as being able to suppress hunger, there was so much excitement in every hoodia gordonii review and this feeling has never quite died because it is what has given so many hope that they will lose weight. The thing is, the way it works is still unclear and one wonders if the promise of weight loss is all it takes to sell any product to a world that is obsessed with being thin. Yes, pure hoodia was used very successfully by the bushmen to contain their pangs of hunger and thirst but will the powder or the extracts or the concentrates work as well? Should it be eaten fresh like they did – breaking off a piece of the succulent plant and eating it, not storing it? Questions – so many of them and no answers yet. Meanwhile the world goes on with the fat and obese eyeing this new entrant into the market with awe and hoping it will make them step into a slimmer world.

True, many hoodia brands from the established manufacturers have certification that they contain the real hoodia gordonii and that they are pure with no additives. However, there are many who sell hoodia combined with so many other herbal powders – maybe all good in themselves but the hoodia content might not be enough to do the job it should. Therefore it is vital to ensure that what you are buying is the pure and potent hoodia and that the supplement contains hoodia and nothing but hoodia gordonii.

Weight Loss With Hoodia

Aug 29

Posted by admin in Hoodia Gordonii | No Comments

With obesity and weight loss cures being of great interest to the world today, hoodia gordonii has been receiving vast amounts of media attention as a natural appetite suppressant. Because of this, most companies marketing health supplements and weight loss remedies have added hoodia gordonii products to their shelves.

Hoodia gordonii is being marketed indiscriminatingly, and many of these supplements do not contain 100% real hoodia gordonii, or else are using a minuscule amount in their herbal mix, but making far fetched claims about its proficiency.

Some facts about hoodia gordonii may help us to make the right choices:

There are many species of hoodia, but only one species – hoodia gordonii has been found to contain an active ingredient that resulted in loss of hunger and thirst.

Hoodia gordonii grows wild in the deserts of Southern Africa. This plant is difficult to cultivate and attempts to grow it in the deserts of America and Mexico have not been successful. Hoodia gordonii is already on the endangered list and access to this plant is through a CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) certificate issued by the proper authorities. As it takes 5 to 7 years for hoodia gordonii to be mature enough to be harvested, one can see that large quantities of this plant are not freely available. During the 1960s, the South African CSIR (Council for Scientific and Industrial Research), in partnership with Phytopharm, a British company began a study on hoodia gordonii. The active ingredient in hoodia gordonii, responsible for appetite suppression was isolated and named P57.

Phytopharm, the company responsible for bring hoodia gordonii to the attention of the world is presently in phase II of its five phase clinical trials of hoodia gordonii and has not as yet released any of its own products containing hoodia gordonii to the market. Clinical trials so far indicate that hoodia gordonii has no side effects, but research on hoodia gordonii in conjunction with other herbs and natural stimulants like green tea has not yet commenced. In the meantime, this “natural obesity cure” has caught the attention of the world thanks to extensive media coverage, including a BBC reporter who went out to Southern Africa and personally tried out hoodia gordonii for herself.

Since many natural and herbal cures have been as successful in the powdered form as in the original, most supplements containing hoodia gordonii have used some amount of the powdered supplement or the active ingredient P57 in their products.

It is possible that some companies have not used 100% pure hoodia gordonii in their products, or have even used some other specie of hoodia.

To be completely safe, if you are planning to add hoodia gordonii to your weight loss regime, please do so under the guidance of your physician. When buying hoodia gordonii, please see if the label has a USDA certificate. Hoodia gordonii is imported from Africa and so the label should have a CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) certificate, as well. Also check that the label names the certified laboratory that has tested and authenticated the presence of 100% real hoodia gordonii in the product.

Hoodia Supplement And Weight Loss

Aug 15

Posted by admin in Hoodia Gordonii | No Comments

There’s been a lot of hype about the wonder herb hoodia gordonii in recent times and one can be forgiven for thinking that it is some kind of a magical answer to weight loss. Most people seem to feel that once they can control their hunger, they will be as slim as they want to be. So they put the whole blame not just on food and the temptation that good food brings with it but on the hunger pangs that one feels very often through the day. What exactly causes these hunger pangs and can hoodia suppress them? Even if it did, could that really be the road to weight loss?

There have been a few pertinent studies that have been done in order to prove whether or not hoodia gordonii is really as effective as it is made out to be or whether the fact that it does suppress hunger to an extent has been taken and blown out of proportion. There was a study that was done in Leicester that seems to put things in perspective. A few volunteers were asked to test the hoodia product. Some were given placebos while the others were given hoodia extract. They just lounged around – no exercise, no work and after two weeks, the ones who had taken the hoodia gordonii extract were found to have lost a thousand calories a day. That was a great finding and offered so much hope.

However, let’s look at hoodia in a more practical light. Considering that the basic American diet is well over 2000 calories, just a thousand is not enough on its own. It’s a great start but it must be supplemented with other weight reduction measures. The good news is that the hoodia diet pills will make your hunger pangs much less so as far as your eating goes, you need not be worried about going on a binge. So what you need to do is to work out a regimen of exercise and good, nutritious meals in order to make that weight loss more effective.

Research has not been in very large numbers so it is difficult to make assumptions based on those small numbers and the fragmented research that has already been done. However, the pointers seem to indicate that the hoodia plant does indeed have something to offer. ‘Does hoodia work’ is a burning question that might not have a very clear answer because though preliminary research has been positive, it needs a lot more testing in order to make a clear assumption that it is a weight loss success. What is also necessary is to ensure that the hoodia source is genuine and what you are in fact having is pure hoodia and not fake hoodia. Check the source or manufacturer when you buy hoodia online and ensure that you are buying stuff that has been bought and reviewed.
