Answer:
I have used lipo-6 with success
I have tried lots of pills that have never worked. Right now, I've been on Alli almost two weeks and have lost 4 pounds. I follow the Alli diet of less than 15 grams of fat per meal and try to exercise for a half hour each day. I would recommend Alli because I have actually lost some weight and it's the only FDA approved diet pill. If you use it, be sure to follow the diet or you will experience "sharting" and it is really gross.
Hi Stephanie,
It is hard to get Hoodia that is the the real stuff. You have to know where to look. You want to make sure you get "pure hoodia" not an extract. Get a pure hoodia brand that has C.I.T.E.S. certification. You also need to make sure you get 750 mg. to 1000 mg. per pill. They usually don't put enough Hoodia in these big chain store brands to do much of anything. To find the best Hoodia I always recommend Totalink's unbiased Hoodia comparison at http://hoodiagordonii.totalink.com/hoodi...
Hope this helps.

As others have mentioned already, most of the hoodia supplements on the market are fake. Some experts say that as much as 80% of them may be fake. It's very easy to get scammed.
That being said, there are only 3 brands that I know of for sure that contain 100% authentic hoodia gordonii. I'm sure there are others, but these are the only 3 I know for sure are real and can be effective. I know this because these brands are randomly tested on a regular basis by independent labs for authenticity. In addition, they all have valid CITES certificates.
Those brands I recommend are Desert Burn, Hoodoba, and Hoodia Hoodia. All three brands are virtually identical because they all contain the same thing - 100% authentic hoodia gordonii and nothing else. The only difference between them is the amount of hoodia in each capsule.
If you'd like to learn more about these brands, you can read detailed reviews of each here:

As for how effective hoodia is in general, it varies from person to person. For some people it works great while for others it doesn't do a thing. The reality is, some people don't respond to it. The only way you'll ever really know is by trying it yourself. Fortunately, real hoodia gordonii has been proven to be safe with virtually no side effects so there shouldn't be any worries about "experimenting" with them.
Finally, keep in mind that hoodia is just a natural appetite suppressant. Despite the hype surrounding hoodia, it is not a magical weight loss solution. It is not a stimulant so it does not increase metabolism or burn fat. All it does is trick the brain into thinking you are full. The idea is if you feel full, you'll eat less! That's how they work.
Hope this helps.

The only substances which will actually help you to lose weight are 90mg egcg with caffeine (3 xs daily), capsaicin (not sure of the amount), large amounts of calcium, about 900 mg 3 xs daily (really!), and monounsaturated fat (which can be found in 1 tbs olive oil). They don't do much too help you loose weight faster, but if you take them faithfully, you will have a lower final weight. Let me explain. A person who eats only 1,950 calories a day and is relatively active should weigh about 130plbs. If a diet pill is able to cancel out only 150 calories a day, than they will eventually weigh ten plbs. less without dieting at all, but they will lose it very, very slowly.
