    Hi Ladies

    Just wondering if anyone has heard of or taken the new Hoodia tablets that are out in most health shops. Was contimplating buying them to see if they were any use but wondering if anyone has taken them have they had any side effects.

    They are meant to reduce your appetite.

    Any feedback would be great :)

    Watse of money indeed.

    I bought them online and have 4 jars of the things sitting in the press! Made no difference to me what so ever. I think i "imagined" they were working the first week :D but nahh lol

    Don't waste your money. I bought them online. Bought 5 for the price of 3 or something stupid!! Why have i not fecked them in the bin? I threw the money away the day i bought them.

    Junk imo, but i had to find out for myself.

    Tablets to reduce your appetite?

    How unhealthy is that?

    I'm sick of people looking for quick fixes. Did you know they have found something that reduces weight in 100% of cases, in addition it prolongs your life and quality of lfe......................

    It's called excercise.

    Try it.

    Of course we'd all love that miracle pill that makes you lose weight the easy way but all those pills are rubbish, money making (and more than likely quite bad for your health) jokes....a good healthy diet and excercise is the only way to lose weight, don't waste your money on that crap.

    Thanks for all your replies and decided against buying them. Just have to stop being so lazy, get up of my ass and excercise. At the end of the day it's free :D

    Yup, best thing you can do, visit the 'Fitness' and 'Diet & Nutrition' forums on boards.ie and you'll get great advice there.

    No point in exercising to lose weight if you come home from the gym/jogging and bung a pizza in the oven and wash it down with a Coke ;) Likewise, no point watching what you eat carefully and sitting on your ass watching Will and Grace marathons every day :D

    I could go on a big old rant but I won't... I think that most women feel they need to get thinner due to a combination of societal pressure and peer pressure. And men who aren't as open-minded as you :)

    What if the person inside is trapped under a large layer of fat?

    Because as an individual who is entitled to my own preferences i simply do not find fat people attractive.

    The happy joy of it is that no one can make me do this, the same way no one can make a person who might not find me attractive say that i am for the sake of political correctness.

    In fairness there is nothing wrong with overweight people at all but some people prefer not to be, myself included.

    I was looking for a quick fix like an idiot, but have decided to put down the Pizza and DIET Coke and am hitting the gym tonight...GO ME!!!!!!:D

    OK, seeing as the OP has gotten all the info they wanted, I don't need to move this to Diet & Nutrition where it should have been, so I'll just lock it instead.
