| This is my experience and thoughts about loosing weight with or without
hoodia, you might find it to be different as we are all different in everything.
Judge for yourself. I feel sure that pure Hoodia will not harm you. In Namibia the farm children eat Hoodia species when they find it. It is healthy to those kids in the desert areas as they eat hardly any vegetables. In modern times getting vegetables are far easier than say 50 years ago, but kids still enjoy to explore and find their own tidbits. Hoodia might take away hunger pangs, but as for myself, I am never hungry. I do not give myself the chance to be hungry. Hoodia will help if you are willing not to eat unless you are hungry. I have tried every diet invented. I loose weight only on the atkins-type diet. I love meat. At this age I must cut out the red meets, but I love chicken and any other meat or fish. So I am happy on that diet and that counts for loosing weight. After I loose the weight I add all the vegetables to remain healthy and not gain weight, but I still save on starches and bread. Exercise is the key to loose weight and not gain it back immediately. Gardening is good exercise. I do the digging - Rudi is in trouble if he digs. I like it more than walking round the block but there is only so much digging to be done. Any movement is good. Some serious movement will give you a high and it fights depression. Now this is what I do:- Cut out all starch and sugar. Eat green veggies and protein (meat). No milk. Plenty water. Eat as much as I like, no need to count calories. Move. While watching TV I lift my legs (knees straight) slowly up and down. Start the day with stretching every muscle lying in bed. Do not eat anything after 4 p.m. (16:00). Drink water, cocoa, coffee, tee - black with sweetener. I do take a dolomite tablet (calciumcarbonate and magnesiumcarbonate), and a multi-vitamin tablet every alternate day while on diet. Go for a mini dose, not a large dose. First thing on waking up in the morning I used to think, what am I going to eat today, now I think what am I going to do today. Cleaning house, catering for the cats and weeding the garden - big deal. But I still arrange my duties, it makes it feel important (it is important) and more interesting. Every day I include something I have been putting off and add something I like (even if it is just 1 hour for a computer game). The one task that brings the most joy when done, is the one that has been put off for a long time. Try it. Take it a day at a time. For the sake of health in the first place, and on second thought, weight - Do not add cane sugar to anything you eat. No need, it taste very nice as is, honest. Perfect ? No, not me. I will be honest, I love cream cakes and the rich fruit Xmas cake, so at Xmas time and special occasion cream cakes visiting the kids .... sigh. I do add some weight, which I must diet down again. |
