Hoodia itself caught my attention far more than the actual diet did. After all, if Hoodia is as successful as Desert Labs says it is then maybe my skepticism is acquiring the far better of me. The flowering plant native to Africa comes in a variety of species; Hoodia gordonii is the 1 that has been touted as a weight loss aid (here at TIS, we very first came across it in Burner Balm). After Ephedra was banned, individuals had high hopes for Hoodia; everybody from 60 Minutes Lesley Stahl (who had no desire to eat or drink all day after consuming the plant) to BBC News promoted the phenomenal appetite suppressing qualities of this all-natural substance. Much of Hoodias reputation is based on the truth that South Africans have used it for centuries to control hunger during lengthy treks into the desert.
