Hoodia and Suppressed Appetite

The first thing that people notice when they start taking hoodia is how their need to eat seems to diminish completely. However this does not mean that you do not need to eat.  As hoodia is an appetite suppressant there is no real diet to go with it. You can still eat what you want but you are more likely to eat the tiniest amounts.

As you are eating tinier amounts of foods it is crucial that you eat foods that are jam packed with nutrients. You don’t tend to crave things like sugar, starches, fried foods and fried foods. This is why it is so easy to stay on a program of weight loss using hoodia in the first place.

However it is important to note that some people do not experience the repression of the appetite effect immediately. Some individuals report feeling full as soon as a half an hour after taking the pill. For most people it takes a week to two weeks for people to notice the full effects of taking the supplement.

You know the hoodia is working when you feel less interested in food in general. You may feel a delay before you feel hungry again or not have a single craving or hunger pang for any type of food all day. Many people also notice that if they do eat that it takes them a lot longer to finish a meal or they can’t finish it at all.

As you are eating less it is important to be mindful of what you eat and select foods that are rich in vitamins. This means selecting foods that are brightly colored such as peppers, mangoes, tomatoes, spinach plums and other fruits and vegetables.  Organic vegetables and fruits are best as they contain fewer pesticides than other types. Organic produce also contains three times as many nutrients as commercially grown kinds.

You should also accompany each meal with a small amount of protein of some kind.  Eating a bit of steak, fish or tofu makes sure you are getting the vitamins you need in the B family. Protein is the building blocks of tissue and helps your body repair itself from injuries so no matter what kind of diet you are on it is crucial to get enough.

If you take the hoodia for a long period of time you might not ever feel hungry at all. If this is the case then you might want to consider drinking your vitamins by mixing yourself up a green drink or shake. When the appetite suppressant effects of hoodia are working very well it may even take you a long time just to drink a smoothie. 

You can also ensure that you are getting the vitamins and nutrients you need by drinking fresh vegetables. As your body may gently start to detoxify as the result of not taking in as much food as usual it is also very important to stay well hydrated while you are taking hoodia as a weight loss aid.
