It's supposed to be really good for dieting but I've also heard that there are loads of fakes around. Has anyone actually lost weight by taking hoodia pills?

I read that all Hoodia pills are fakes, there was an article on the BBC website about it. Apparently it is a miracle for dieting, but there's NONE in any of the so-called Hoodia pills.

I took hoodia for a very short period, the owner of the gym I used to workout at recommended it, I can't say really that I felt any effects, but I was working out and I did lose weight. The only effect that I can really say that hoodia helped me with, not feeling exhausted after my workout

I tried 100% Hoodia and......
Hoodia has worked for me...and with no side effects.
Check with your doctor before starting any weight loss program.
For all you doubters, here is the prior feedback for another Answers user who followed my advice:

**** VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO GET RIPPED OFF ---
#1. Be sure you are buying pure Hoodia...look for the import certificate on the website. No matter the price, if they do not display this, you really do NOT know what you are getting!
#2. Be sure it is 100% Hoodia & not mixed w/other herbs, etc.!!
#3. Keep in mind it stops your hunger pangs…you MUST remember to break your habit to always eat at certain times.
#4. Drink a full 8oz. glass of water with it!
Hoodia (HOOD-ee-uh) gordonii - A genus of 10 to 20 species from southwestern Africa.
Hoodia gordonii is the stoneage wonder plant found throughout the dry arid regions of the South western African continent now on the verge of making history in the fight against obesity. It is a genus belonging to the Asclepiadaceae family which consists of approximately 20 species. Used to stop hunger, quench thirst, and provide energy among other things since prehistoric times, Hoodia gordonii was first discovered by the San tribesmen and women to get through the most difficult of times.

I got some Hoodia Gordonii tablets from Holland and Barrett. No side effects but it didn't do anything for me. An alternative is Green Tea Extract capsules which actually suppresses your appetite.

while eating the Hoodia plant can curb your appetite hoodia pills usually have so little hoodia in them they're worthless

Take time once a 7 days to plan out and search for meals and snacks so you're prepared whenever hunger strikes.

Follow the 80/20 rule, which means eating clean 80 percent almost daily and indulging a little 20 percent almost daily.

At breakfast, go ahead and take in orange juice. But throughout the rest of the day, focus on water as opposed to juice or soda
