My Hoodia Diet Triumph!

The Real Story From Someone Who Lived It.

Ever since I can remember, I've been the "fat kid."

My family was always on the heavy side. About the only exercise I ever saw my parents do was lift a fork to their mouths. In elementary school, I was always the last one picked, even though I loved sports and thought I was pretty coordinated for my age.

My mom thought cooking huge meals and desserts every night was how she showed her love. After all, that's what her mother did.

When I was at school with my friends, I was extremely self-conscious. I promised myself I'd lose weight, but sitting around the dinner table - my mom's cooking tasted so good, I couldn't help myself. Mashed potatoes with plenty of butter, meatloaf, and all sorts of pasta and bread were always on the table.

I always had at least two helpings. Most nights it was three.

I was miserable on the inside and used food -- the very thing that was causing my pain -- to soothe the hurt.

In junior high, things started to change for me. I was tired of never having girls look at me as anything besides a friend.

Something "clicked" inside me, I became determined to change.

I started hitting the weights and running for miles and miles. It was a STRUGGLE every day, but by my freshman year of high school, I had dropped 20 pounds and was playing freshman football.

I managed to do pretty well all throughout high school. But once I got out, things went downhill again.

They say it's common to gain about a pound each year after high school. Well, I was "above average."

My old habits came back with a vengeance. And I didn't have the time or the metabolism to be able to drop the pounds like I did when I was younger.

Even when I exercised faithfully, I just couldn't seem to stay away from the snacks and leftovers.

My two worst times were coming home from work and right before bedtime. I was miserable. While I ate, I felt guilty and worthless. I'd promise myself tomorrow I'd start over, but I always found myself eating more than I should.

Shortly before my 20th reunion, I realized I'd put on 57 pounds of ugly flab!

I honestly didn't think things could get worse.

I was wrong.

In April of last year, I experienced a series of heart-freezing palpitations. I launched a final personal quest for a safe and effective way to lose weight. Ever since undergoing multiple surgeries years earlier, my weight had been ballooning out of control.

Exercise proved difficult, and my insatiable appetite thwarted numerous diets.

I was defeated and desperate for help.

So when I heard the news reports from the BBC, and then later on 60 Minutes - about a plant that native South African Bushmen have been chewing on for thousands of years to stave off hunger and thirst during long hunting trips in their parched Kalahari desert home - I immediately ordered a bottle.

It didn't work.

I went online and shopped around a bit. I found a Website that was endorsed by a famous celebrity (I'm sure you know which one I'm talking about).

I ordered several of "her" products, thinking, "Surely these are legit, after all - what celebrity would allow their name to be attached to a scam."

Then I read about the federal government suing the celebrity, the Website and the manufacturers for false claims. And you know what? The stuff didn't work anyway.

I decided that all the hype about Hoodia was just that - hype. I figured I would just have to live with the gnawing hunger if I was going to lose weight. Either that or stay fat.

The reports I read and the studies I saw all said Hoodia was a legitimate aid to help my weight problem. But no matter where I looked, all I found were scams and overpriced garbage.

About 3 months after the palpitation scare, I found another product on the internet that partially worked, causing mild appetite suppression, but only when I took four times the stated maximum dose.

It proved very expensive for such a mild effect. No matter where I looked, I couldn't find an effective Hoodia gordonii product at a cost I could afford.

Was Hoodia for real, or was it all just a hoax from people greedy to make a little money off my misery?

I decided it wasn't worth it. I gave up. And I was OK with my decision. After all, my wife still loved me, even if I was "a whole lot more man" than the one she married.

Not long after my decision, something happened. I was at a ball game and ran into Derrick, an old friend and teammate. I hadn't seen him since our last reunion almost 10 years ago.

He'd dropped at least 50 pounds. I mean this guy was fatter than me last time I saw him, and now he looked FIT. I actually walked past him at the ball game, and only turned around when he called my name.

I was envious and more than a little interested about how he'd made such a drastic change. Of course, I hadn't seen him in 10 years, so anything was possible.

Derrick told me that less than a year earlier, he was in worse shape than me. He told me he'd found a brand new supplement that made it so easy to stick to his diet plan that it was almost like "cheating".

I asked him what happened. He told me he'd been using Hoodia. Can you imagine my reaction? I felt like I'd been deceived. And you know what? I had been deceived.

Because Real Hoodia - made from the peeled stems of the Hoodia gordonii succulent grown in South Africa - will stop your hunger and cravings.

What does that mean?

Even though the label says "400mg", you may be getting anywhere from 360mg down to only 40mg of Hoodia - and no laws are being broken!

Here's a quick thing you can check for: Check all labels for "Other Ingredients" if it says "NONE" then you're assured of getting ONLY 100% PURE Hoodia gordonii. It's the only way to be sure.

That's just one of the many surprising things I learned when I ventured into the maze of claims and counterclaims in the diet-pill industry.

When I finally found a real product containing 100% Pure Hoodia gordonii with no added fillers or flow agents. I was still skeptical. I'd been burned before, but I also had my friend as evidence. So I took the chance.

I'm now 45 pounds lighter. Still have 10 or 15 pounds to go, and I know the last 5 pounds are always the hardest, but now I'm convinced, I couldn't have done it without Hoodia.

I know you're wondering which Hoodia diet pills I use. I want to tell you there are suppliers out there selling genuine South African Hoodia gordonii. I checked out my friend Derrick's brand and found it to be satisfactory.

But as I dug around a bit, I found that there was far more bad Hoodia than good.

That's the discouraging truth.

When the respected, independent investigators from NewsTarget.com finished conducting their exhaustive review, here's what they had to say:

But the story doesn't end there. NewsTarget made the following request:

That was June of last year. As I write this, that page still only has 3 companies - the same three companies - listed.

The brand my friend chose was one of those companies. I originally started using his, and it worked ok. But I found that it contained flow agents. How much, I couldn't be sure. But it stands to reason that I was getting something less than the full amount of Hoodia they promised.

So I switched to a Pure Hoodia product that clearly states it contains "no other ingredients." I also found out that this company has a unique way of proving its purity to consumers.

NewsTarget.com reported that this particular Hoodia provider has an agreement with Alkemists to test in a way that was different from any other manufacturer.

In other words, this company not only uses a more expensive process to eliminate the need for fillers and flow agents that displace what you're really paying for...

They go several steps beyond what any other Hoodia seller has so far been willing to do.

By allowing inviting the independent lab to randomly purchase their products without warning - they do everything in their power to ensure they fully deliver on their promise to provide you with only 100% pure South African Hoodia gordonii.

I bought my Hoodia for the same price my friend paid for the stuff that had the fillers and flow agents.

So was this months-long investigation worth it?

You can decide that for yourself. I have my answer. (And here are the pictures to prove it!)

I determined not to let all my time and effort go to waste.

I decided to post my discovery for anyone wondering if Hoodia might hold the key to their weight loss success - but who may be discouraged trying to cut through all the fog and hype.

I'm living proof that Hoodia helps you lose weight without the constant, gnawing hunger I came to expect from my previous failed attempts to diet.

I'm sure Hoodia can work for you, if you use the right product in the right way.

If you'd like to see what brand I use, you can find it here.

At present it's not available in stores. The manufacturers tell me there's a couple reasons for that.

First too many stores - including some of the more well known health and nutrition stores - still have untested brands on the shelf and they want to avoid any chance of "guilt by association."

The other reason is economics. It's more cost-effective to sell over the Internet. They told me they'd rather put that money into better equipment and testing. Makes sense, doesn't it?

But they're also sharp business people. They know it's easy for scammers to set up shop on the Internet.

That's why they go to such extraordinary lengths - that no other company goes to - so we can be confident we're receiving only the purest Hoodia gordonii of the highest possible potency.

Now I'm what you'd call a raving fan, I guess. And I don't mind that one bit. When you find a product that does everything it promises and more, why not shout it from the rooftops?

HERE'S THE REAL KICK IN THE PANTS

After all my false starts and wrong turns trying to find a Hoodia Product that delivered on every one of its promises, the one I found was the very product featured in the 60 minutes broadcast that helped to start the whole Hoodia phenomenon in the first place!

Crazy, isn't it?

Now, I do have one thing I must warn you about.

Warning: At present levels of consumption, Hoodia gordonii could become an extremely costly commodity

I'm not scare-mongering here, because nothing in my research suggests that Hoodia will disappear. The South African government will make sure that doesn't happen. But like any rare substance, it may soon become too expensive for us average folks to afford.

Right now the price is reasonable, especially when you measure it against the results. But that could change, sooner rather than later.

If you want to see the kind of results I got, here's my before and after pictures. I plan on adding more after I lose my last few pounds.

Sincerely,

Neil
