Hey I've got a little problem that I hope someone can clear up!

So I've been taking the "Hoodia 10 Day Diet" pills in combination with exercise and a good diet. I've lost about 3 pounds in a week so far. I bought more of the pills cause I was liking the results but today the pills started making me feel very bad like chest pain and stuff and I feel like it might be unhealthy for me to keep taking them. I've read that people who stopped taking Hoodia gained their weight back. Is this just because they picked back up their old eating habits? If I continue to eat well and exercise will stopping these pills have any effect? I don't want to gain this weight back but I really don't feel safe taking these anymore. Thanks to anyone who can help

I can almost guarantee you that you didn't lose weight because of the Hoodia...you lost weight because you lowered your calorie intake. There is nothing in Hoodia , in my opinion, except empty promises. I guess the bottom line is what they all say: eat less, exercise more. I've come to that conclusion.

None of those pills are good for you. In fact, I would think they have the potental to even be dangerous.
The way to do it is exactly what you did: change your diet and exercise. If you do that, you will lose weight

I guarantee!

I agree with the others. Pills won't help. The "magic" Formula is what your mother probably told you - calories in/calories out. However, different types of food plans work better for different people. I'm thinking about one of the low carb diets. They seem to work for quite a lot of people.

Good Luck,
Sunny

Hello,
I'm new to this group. I agree that pills are not safe unless they are herbal or natural and simply a concentrated form of what we should be eating. If they are not, then they are not properly assimilated into the body, and can have serious side effects.

Good nutrition and cellular nutrition takes care of any health issue. I've found something that works really well for me that's natural and safe and delicious!! It's called Shapeworks from Herbalife.

All the best to you!!
