Hoodia gordonii is the plant with the new wonder ingredient that curbs your appetite, ups your mood and helps one to slim. Hoodia gordonii is actually a succulent plant from the Kalahari desert, home of the San People, one of the world's oldest and most primitive tribes. The San have been using the Hoodia gordonii succulent for millennia to stave off hunger during their long and strenuous hunting trips in the harsh South African wild. It has no known side-effects, and contains a molecule, named p57, that fools your brain into believing you are full. Now you too can lose weight with this miracle diet pill.

What is Hoodia?
Hoodia gordonii is a type of leafless succulent, not a cactus, in the family asclepiadaceae which grows in semi-arid areas of Southern Africa, especially the Kalahari desert. It forms multi-stemmed clumps 45cm high and bears foul-smelling, pale purple, disc-shaped flowers 7,5–10cm in diameter.
The San Bushmen, of the Kalahari eat the bitter-tasting plant on long hunting expeditions to stave off hunger pangs.
It was first discovered by Col. R.J. Gordon (hence the name gordonii) while exploring the Orange River in 1776.

Is Hoodia a drug?
No. Hoodia is an all natural dietary supplement and contains no caffeine or ephedrine. The plants are grown in the desert sand and under the African sun wherein they thrive. They take years to mature but are left untouched to grow until harvest time, whereafter they are clinically handled and processed without additives.

Are there any side effects?
There are no known side effects. The Bushmen have used this plant for thousands of years without any side-effects. Many studies have also concluded that there are no side-effects. Blood-type compatibility has not been determined.

How much Hoodia should I use?
Most people have positive results taking 1–2 capsules [500-1,000 mg] an hour before each meal with a large glass of water, for the first 3–5 days. Thereafter take one capsule per day [mornings]. Each Annique Hoodia capsule contains 488 mg pure Hoodia Gordonii refined powder. If you frequently crave a midnight snack, an additional capsule in the evening might help to curb those late-night cravings.

What is the source of Annique Hoodia?
Annique Hoodia is grown on privately owned farms in South Africa. The harvested hoodia gordonii is then sun dried, hygienically processed and legally supplied with certification of origin and organic processes, to Annique.

Hoodia does not counteract the blood sugar drops that occur following the consumption of refined carbohydrates like soft drinks, cookies, white bread, white rice and other simple carbohydrates. In fact, on days that you eat carbs, your appetite may not be lowered at all. Hoodia only appeared to work in conjunction with the Annique Lifestyle Program – controlled carbohydrate diet.

Hoodia in no way stops your body from feeling hunger after a work-out. In other words, hoodia doesn’t cause your body to lose its "mind".

Hoodia does not release you from responsibility. If you choose to purchase Annique HOODIA, make sure you have realistic expectations about what will really be required to lose weight. On the Internet, hoodia is frequently promoted as a magic bullet solution. "Lose weight almost like magic!" But in reality, it isn’t magic, and weight loss isn’t really automatic.
Taking hoodia is not a license to eat. Annique HOODIA controls your appetite, but doesn't block the absorption of nutrients.

Combine the Annique HOODIA with Annique's BODY TONE, METABoost and BODY CLEAR.

Hoodia alone isn’t going to get you into shape. If you really want to lose weight and change your lifestyle for the better, the best thing you can do for your body is boost your resting metabolism. And the number one way to do that is to add some lean muscle mass to your body by engaging in cardiovascular exercise (walking, jogging, cycling, swimming) and strength training.
Just because the people in the hoodia study sat on their butts and still lost weight doesn’t mean that’s the best way to do it. I suggest you go do something while taking hoodia.

With your hunger turned down and your metabolism turned up, you just might find yourself burning 1500 calories or more a day, causing even more rapid weight loss!
Don’t starve yourself!
Fact is, if you’re losing more than a 0,5kg a week, you’re ill in some way and need to get yourself some healthy nutrition!

Drink clean water, exercise regularly, lay off the refined carbs, and take hoodia in reasonable doses [500–1,500 mg per day].

A double-blind placebo trial with dried hoodia showed rapid, consistent weight loss:
Researchers put hoodia gordonii to the test in a clinical trial in Leicester, England. Volunteers were either given a placebo or a powder of the hoodia gordonii plant, and then were told to go about their business without exercising. They watched TV, read books, ate and slept.
After 15 days, the results showed that the group on the hoodia powder had reduced their caloric intake by 1,000 calories per day, automatically, with no effort whatsoever. They weren’t even aware of the effect. But they were automatically eating less, and they weren’t exercising at all.

Let’s put this into perspective with two facts:
1. The average person needs around 2,200 calories per day.
2. There are around 3,500 calories in 0,45kg of body fat. Burn an extra 3,500 calories, and you’ve lost 0,45kg of fat.
In this study, people taking the hoodia powder automatically ate 1,000 fewer calories per day. Do that for 3,5 days and you’ve lost 3,500 calories, right? That’s 0,45kg of body fat.
Do that for a week and you’ve lost 0,91kg of body fat. 0,91kg of fat a week is twice the weight loss rate attempted by most weight loss strategies. It’s aggressive weight loss. It means you could lose 3,65kg a month, or as much as 43,8kg a year – 3,65kg a month is extraordinary.
