I have tried several diets and when I tried the Hoodia diet I was under the impression that it was going to take off weight. Well I sure was in for a surprise when it did NOT do what it stated. I followed the diet plan as directed and was very disappointed. I did not lose tthe weight that they stated I would lose nor did I even come close. I'm sorry fellow dieters but if you are looking for a diet that works this is NOT the one for you.
