Since the discovery of Hoodia Gordonii’s active ingredient P57 a decade ago, the debate between which is more effective – hoodia or glucose – at regulating appetite suppression has always been heated.
But here is the thing… there is a clear distinct winner between the two. It is just a matter of understanding how they work first, before picking which method you would like to follow.
Let us explain, starting with glucose.
According to Cambridge University, following a study they did on 136 candidates, they found that blood glucose can exert a temporary regulation on their appetite. Meaning by watching your blood glucose levels you can control your appetite.
But the thing to bear in mind here is the fact that this exertion is only temporary, and can easily be affected by the activities you do when compared to what you eat.
Now one of the reasons many people gain weight is due to an interruption in this relationship. Their brain is influenced into believing that the body is low in glucose, and that it needs it.
And the result? Your stomach and mind start telling you that you are hungry.
Now the easiest way to resolve this problem would be to amend your diet; look to see which foods trigger it and have your blood glucose levels tested.
Simple? Not entirely. For example how can you confidently ensure that your body is receiving the right levels, day in, day out? Can’t activity or a slight change in diet make a difference?
The answer is: yes they can. You can never be sure without being completely vigilant.
But there is an easier solution to this dilemma and one that can prove itself to be much more effective at helping you to lose weight: Hoodia Gordonii.
Utilising its active P57 miracle molecules, when ingested it acts within the body by taking on the same characteristics as glucose. From here it makes the nerve cells within your brain believe that your body is satisfied and full, even when it is not.
But this is not the best part. Hoodia Gordonii has been proven to help consumers cut their daily calorie intake by 2,000 calories a day.* Plus it has been found to be 10,000 times more powerful than glucose at suppressing your appetite.
Add both of these facts, and Hoodia Gordonii is the clear winner. For one, it is not temporary like glucose, but consistently works to help consumers reduce their meal portions throughout the day.
There is no risk to this 100% organically grown capsule. 100% natural and made from the core of the Hoodia Gordonii plant; it is completely side effect free – meaning users can effectively keep on taking this supplement for as long as they need to help them lose weight.
One Hoodia product we would definitely recommend is UniqueHoodia.
Medically back and clinically proven to contain genuine authentic Hoodia Gordonii, in one compact package, consumers can experience the satisfaction of:
• Using 100% pure unaltered Hoodia Gordonii
• A 2,000 calorie reduction every day
• 10,000 times the productivity of glucose at suppressing your appetite
• Increased energy and self esteem.
Hoodia Products – which are safe to take? May 19, 2009

It cannot be denied that the Hoodia Gordonii phenomenon is an interesting one.
With its P57 miracle molecule having only been discovered in the last decade and its clinical trials having only just finished a few years ago; the productivity of this unique appetite suppressant has been incredible.
Even as we are writing this, if you type ‘Hoodia Gordonii’ into Google, you will find an assortment of different Hoodia products all saying ‘buy me, buy me.’ Capsules, tablets, patches, coffee, tea, candy, lollipops and shakes… these are just a handful of the growing number of Hoodia Gordonii products.
You see, in a scramble to take advantage of all Hoodia Gordonii’s remarkable results, manufacturers have literally merged Hoodia Gordonii into about anything they could get their hands on.
But here is the thing.
Where is the proof that come shake or patch these products will still be able to effectively suppress your diet? And for that matter how can you be certain that you are achieving the 2,250-3,000mg of Hoodia Gordonii that you need (a day) to effectively suppress your appetite?
The truth is you can not be certain.
Mixed in with a multitude of other ingredients and chemicals, you can not guarantee that you are receiving the full amount.
Take for example this scenario.
A company is claiming that in one of their Hoodia Lollipops there is 400mg of Hoodia Gordonii.
Okay this statement is fair enough, but here lies in the problem. To make sure that you receive the full amount, you need to eat the whole lollipop (not exactly productive against weight loss). Then there is the uncertainty over whether or not the other ingredients have affected its ability to encourage natural appetite suppression.
Now, if tablet and extract forms of this supplement are not recommended, and altering where it is grown affects its strength, then surely introducing other ingredients to its formula, must make them more unreliable?
We know, this is only speculation, but it does make you wonder about the credibility of these lollipops, patches and teas. How can you confidently say you are going to achieve your desired results?
Saying this, there is one proven point that does have standing with this supplement.
The fact that according to Alkemist Pharmaceuticals over 80% of Hoodia Gordonii supplements are fake.
Either made from the wrong type of Hoodia plant (there are 13 types altogether with only Hoodia Gordonii having been proven to contain P57) or from the whole plant (making it only 60% effective), the pure scale of this problem, combined with the fact that it is so rare, makes all these other Hoodia products appear questionable.
Who can you rely on it give you real results?
Our recommendation is that you go for a Hoodia Gordonii supplement that can prove it contains only pure, unaltered Hoodia Gordonii.
A capsule that has been: laboratory tested by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals to prove it contains pure Hoodia Gordonii; that has got the CITES certificate to prove its origin and a capsule that contains at least 400mg of genuine Hoodia Gordonii (taken from the core of the plant).
One Hoodia Gordonii supplement we would recommend is UniqueHoodia. Tried, tested and backed by leading health officials, UniqueHoodia has got the certificates to prove it is the genuine article.
In one concise product, consumers can benefit from:
• 100% pure, unaltered Hoodia Gordonii
• Calorie reductions of 2,000 calories a day
• 10,000 times more productive at reducing your appetite than glucose
And with a CITES certificate, an Organics Annex Certificate and a Certificate of Analysis

*PLEASE NOTE: Consumers should be careful to follow a healthy and nutritious diet whilst taking this supplement, and should not go without eating.

Whilst some weight loss programs are willing to make you believe that the only route to effective weight loss is through endless hours at the gym, or by cutting out all fat or carbohydrates from your diet, there are in fact other ways to lose weight.
Methods that are in fact natural and easy to incorporate into your every day lifestyle: fat binders.
Now before you jump the gun, and state that weight loss supplements do not work, just listen to this point for a moment.
Yes it may be true that there are hundreds of weight loss supplements on the market, that have got no backing or clinical trials to prove they are the genuine article. But if you look a little closer you will find that this is not completely the case.
It is just a matter of learning how to find the real deals whilst keeping a conscious view of all the others tips available.
Take the Telegraph’s recent article discussing their top 5 recommended ways for losing weight in 2008.
In this one article they touched all the different bases that you can consider:
• Eat 6 times a day – in other words, monitor what you eat. By breaking breakfast, lunch and dinner into 6 smaller meals you can prevent snacking and keep your body’s metabolism high.
• Fat binders – now we know fat binders are commonly found in weight loss supplements, but compared to chemically enriched supplements that affect the nervous system, fat binders are 100% natural. All they do is work to make 28% of your fat indigestible in your digestive tract, whilst also being effective appetite suppressants. And one clear example the Telegraph gave of a real and credible fat binder was natural weight loss supplement Proactol.

• Online support – as the Telegraph proves not all effective weight loss is about taking a supplement or exercise. Surrounding yourself with a strong support network can give you the confidence to keep pursuing your weight loss goals whilst helping you to keep it off. Many online weight loss supplements can provide you with that network. On Proactol.com for example consumers can benefit from advice and tips from their online discussion forum whilst having access to a 27/7 support team.
• Eat Breakfast – sometimes losing weight doesn’t even have to involve changing your diet, as the Telegraph proves. By simply ensuring you eat a healthy breakfast every morning you can set your metabolism up for the rest of the day, and keep it burning fast.
• Realistic exercise plan- exercise and weight loss can often come hand in hand in terms of successful weight loss, but one of the most common mistakes people make is setting themselves unrealistic targets which they cannot keep up. The best way is to build up your fitness levels beginning with a 10 minute walk until you are able to take on more.
So as the Telegraph’s clearly points out there are numerous other alternatives that you can choose from to ensure that you experience natural easy weight loss. Food, exercise, support groups or natural weight loss supplements, each and every one of these can make your journey to successful weight loss, easy, fun and accessible.

How to Stop Snacking at Work May 18, 2009

We have all been there, you turn up to work full of good intentions for the day. You promise yourself you will not give in to temptation and not a single sugary treat will pass through your lips. Snacking at work is not even an option today.
It’s all going well so far you think to yourself, however, no sooner does that thought enter your head, your stomach rumbles. You feel the hunger and assume it’s nearly lunch time. Then you check the time and its only 10:30am – the mid-morning munchies have arrived!!
You can last until lunch you tell yourself but your stomach has other ideas. You try and think of something else but the only thing your mind is thinking about is chocolate and cakes. You cannot last any longer and rush to the vending machine – not a single healthy snack is on show. You give in and tell yourself tomorrow will be different, tomorrow you will avoid snacking at work.
We have all been there; snacking at work is a big problem day in, day out for the vast majority of us. The average person spends $45 on snacks every month. However, it doesn’t have to be like this.
There are ways you can stop snacking at work. The office does not need to be the place you surrender all willpower. Here are my top 5 tips to help you cut out those sweet treats at your desk:
1. Remain Calm
Stress is one of the biggest reasons why snacking at work is so hard to control. If you can stay relaxed by planning your workload efficiently then it will be easier to say no to those unhealthy snacks.
2. Stock up on Fruit
Keeping a supply of fruit on your desk will give you an alternative option to chocolate, cakes and potato chips. Better still, you won’t even have to leave your desk to get them!
3. Don’t Carry Loose Change
This is particularly useful if you have a vending machine at work. No spare change in your pocket means you cannot use the vending machine and no matter how much you want that chocolate bar you cannot have it.
4. Keep Yourself Busy
No doubt you often snack because you are bored. If you can keep yourself busy then you will not even think about snacking. Always ensure you have tasks to do to keep your mind off sweet treats.
5. Invest in an Appetite Suppressant
This is one of the tricks I swear by. Appetite suppressants are small pills you take each day which gives signals to the brain that you are full and do not require more food. They are perfectly safe and help you to get your willpower back and control those snacking at work cravings.
By far the best appetite suppressant I have used is a product called UniqueHoodia. They use only the purest Hoodia Gordonii from South Africa which has been clinically proven to suppress your appetite.
Results have also shown that UniqueHoodia can help cut your calorie intake by as much as 2,000 calories a day meaning weight loss is much faster and easier than by dieting alone.
If you want to cut out snacking at work then look no further – UniqueHoodia is your key to controlling those cravings.
Hoodia vs., the BBC, their take on the miracle supplement 6 years on May 17, 2009

Of all the media reports that have been done in the last 6 years about Hoodia Gordonii, the most credible and accurate one we have ever seen has to be the one done by BBC reporter Tom Mangold in 2003.
On top of their own experimentation with Hoodia Gordonii, the BBC also provided consumers with one concise article that put the facts to them straight. None of the vagueness you can find with some articles, but a concise article with everything you could need to gain an accurate perception of Hoodia Gordonii.
In their report they offered the facts of:
• That Hoodia Gordonii is rare and originates from the Kalahari Desert
• How P57 was discovered by Phytopharm
• How Hoodia Gordonii works – 10,000 times more powerful than glucose, Hoodia makes the nerve cells in the brain believe you are full when you are not.
• Its many Clinical trials (that had been performed at that time)
• How Hoodia can reduce your calorie intake by 1,000 calories a day
• How Hoodia Gordonii is side effect free
But the most important point they touched on was fake Hoodia products.
Even in 2003, they were aware of the possibility of fake Hoodia Products.
Yet, who could have guessed that their prediction would prove so right! According to Alkemist pharmaceuticals 80% of Hoodia Products are fake, containing only 60% pure Hoodia Gordonii, if any at all.
But if we are honest they could have not known how many there would be. After all, in 2003 Hoodia Gordonii was still being clinically tested, which made it hard for companies to launch Hoodia products without their credibility being questioned.
So what are we to take away from the BBC report? The need to increase consumer awareness of Hoodia Gordonii. Not just about its appetite suppressant qualities, but as a product as a whole: where it is from? What are its ingredients? How can price reflect its validity?
Know this and you can increase your chances of receiving pure unaltered Hoodia Gordonii, and offer your body an easy route to weight loss.
Here is a quick low down on what to look for within your Hoodia Gordonii supplements.
Medical Backing: Has it been tested by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals?
CITES Certificate: Only South Africa grow and export genuine Hoodia Gordonii.
Price: Hoodia Gordonii is rare, making it expensive to export. For this reason check the products price. If it is cheap, it is not real.
Ingredients: for genuine Hoodia Gordonii, only the core of the plant must be used. Besides its gelatib capsules there should be no other ingredients on the ingredients list.
Experience Genuine Hoodia Gordonii
Laboratory tested by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals, and offering a CITES certificate to show its proof of origin, UniqueHoodia can offer you the proof and the documentation, to make your journey to weight loss a success.
In one compact package, consumers can experience the benefits of:
• 100% pure Hoodia Gordonii
• A calorie reduction of 2,000 calories a day
• 10,000 times the productivity of glucose at suppressing your appetite
• Increased energy and self esteem.

Look on the web and you will find hundreds of appetite suppressants all claiming to do the same thing, but have you ever looked closely into how they work?
On the one hand you have got natural appetite suppressants such as Proactol and UniqueHoodia that can help you to cut your meal portions without causing your body harm.
But then you have got others that work by chemically altering your brain signals, and affecting your health as a whole.
Take for example Reductil and Phentermine. Proven to help consumers lose a steady weight loss of 1-2lbs a week, alongside these benefits consumers can also expect to experience a range of other effects. And not all of the positive kind:
• Palpitations, breathlessness, racing heart, stomach cramps, diarrhoea – and these are only the tame ones.
Some of their less common side effects include coronary heart disease AND liver/pancreatic disease, not exactly inspiring.
So what can you do?
Well for a start we recommend that you do the research and check out the history of your supplement first, before investing.
Take the natural appetite suppressants mentioned above.
Alongside their ability to effectively suppress your appetite – Proactol has been proven to:
• Reduce your dietary fat intake by 28%
• Decrease your calories intake by 450 calories a day.
And UniqueHoodia has been found to:
• 10,000 times stronger than glucose at suppressing your appetite
• Reduce your food intake by 50%
• Cut your calorie intake by 2,000 calories
Plus to top it all they are 100% side effect free. What more can you ask for?
Offer your body a natural solution to weight loss
Compare all these supplements together and UniqueHoodia can offer you real credible results. Even more so than well renowned herbal supplement Proactol.
And these figures offered by UniqueHoodia are not just a statement either.
UniqueHoodia has been tried, tested and has been clinically proven to produce these results – something that not many Hoodia Gordonii supplements can offer.

Okay you now know what calories are and how they work to help your body function. The next part to making your weight loss journey successful is being able to work out your daily allowances (and we mean everything – fat, protein and sugar).
Now most people will tell you to check the food label, and we recommend you do the same, but life doesn’t always make it that simple. Take going out to a restaurant – how can you truthfully know what you are eating and how many calories are in it? The real answer is, is that you can’t, but you can gain a grasp of what individual food groups contain so that you can have a fair idea.
But first to help you gain a clearer perspective, below is the daily allowance for a woman (on 2,000 calories):
Total fat – 65g
Saturated fatty acids – 20g
Cholesterol – 300mg
Sodium – 2400mg
Potassium – 4700mg
Total Carbohydrates – 300g
Fibre – 25g
Protein 50g
As you can see, what you need every day goes beyond the basics of fat, protein and fibre, but also branches into fatty acids, sodium and potassium too.
Now as we said before, most labels will now give you the basics of its ingredient base and nutrients, but in a restaurant you simply cannot know. So what do you do? The best technique we can recommend is gaining an insight into the ingredients themselves and what they contain.
Essentially you can pre-learn the calorie content of certain foods, so that you can still go out and monitor your diet. You don’t have to remember the ins and outs of all foods, but if you can learn the basics of your favourite foods, then you can still keep the excitement of going out AND losing weight.
Below are some examples to help you in your food choices:
5oz lean steak – 181 calories and 6g of fat
Medium grilled chicken breast (130g) – 192 calories and 2.9 g of fat
Lean pork chops (120g) – 221 calorie and 7.7g of fat
Medium baked potato (180g) – 245 calories and 0.4g fat
(Get more food tomorrow)
Mash potato with butter (28g) – 29 calories and 1.2g of fat
Chips (100g) – 253 calories and 9.9g of fat
Carrots (60g) – 13 calories and 0.2g of fat
Broccoli (30g) – 7 calories and 0.2 g of fat
Peas (60g) – 32 calories and 0.4g of fat

We all know that for a woman they have only got a daily allowance of 2,000 calories, compared to men who are allowed 2,500 calories. But ask someone what calories are, and the majority wouldn’t be able to give you a complete answer.
All they know is that too many calories can contribute to weight gain.
So what are calories? Calories are essentially units of energy. Energy which is used to raise your body temperature. Take this example. One calorie equals the same amount of energy that is needed to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius.
We know, what has this got to do with food, but calories are our way of measuring the energy content of the foods we eat.
Another metrical tool you need to know when you are losing weight, which you won’t traditionally find on a food label, is joules. These measure food energy too, but work on a higher setting. In this case, 1 calorie equals 4,184 joules (with such high figures it is easy to see why companies opt for calories).
Even when you measure it in kilojoules, one kilojoule is still 1,000 joules.
With us so far? Well here is the next secret. When it comes to losing weight, the number of calories you can have will depend on your existing weight.
Take for example this scenario. You have got 2 people who want to lose weight at a rate of 2lbs a week, but one of them is 2 stone heavier than the other.
In this case, the person who is heavier will be able to consume more calories whist losing weight at the same rate as their friend.
You see, because they are carrying extra weight, they need more energy to move it and keep their weight loss steady. Cut your calories down too low and you will not have the energy to keep your body functioning.
Saying this, once the lbs begin to drop off the heavier person of this scenario would have to adapt and lower their calorie allowance to cope with their new weight.
So as you can see, calories play an important part on your path to weight loss. Take this following piece of information for example. To lose just 1lb, you need to burn 3,500 calories – more than your daily allowance.
Now although this looks as though you need to starve yourself in order to lose weight, you don’t. We recommend that by cutting your calorie consumption by 250-500 calories a day, you can effectively lose weight at a rate that will enable you to then keep it off.
PLEASE NOTE: you shouldn’t cut your calories to below 1,200 a day as this can lead to increased health risks.
The next question is: how can you tell how many calories there are in food? A topic we shall discuss in our next article.
