Has anyone used one of those diet patches with hoodia in them? Do they work? How longs before you start to see results? Any side effects? If you could help me out it would be great! Thank you!

Why can't you just eat right, curb alcohol intake, sleep right, and exercise the good old fashioned healthy way?

Rebecca:
If you are serious about taking hoodia diet pills, by all means stay away from hoodia patches as they are nothing but a scam. The sellers of hoodia patches will claim that a patch is more effective than diet pills because you’ll get a slow release of hoodia gordonii into the bloodstream throughout the day. The end result is your appetite will be suppressed throughout the day! How great that would be if it were actually true.
The theory behind the hoodia patch is that the hoodia gordonii bypasses the stomach and reaches the bloodstream directly through the skin, resulting in quicker and more effective appetite suppression. The reality is it doesn’t work. In fact, there hasn’t been one scientific or clinical study that shows hoodia patches work! If you want to read more about them and why you should avoid them, read this article:

Stick with either traditional hoodia capsules or hoodia liquid products. The key with hoodia is making sure you buy an authentic hoodia diet supplement as most are fake (meaning they contain very little, if any, hoodia gordonii). I've provided a link below to an article that outlines the things you need to look for when you buy hoodia to avoid being scammed. I've also provided a link that provides detailed reviews of some of the most popular hoodia supplements you might want to check out. Whatever you decide, just stay clear of hoodia patches as you'll just be throwing your money out the door!
Best of luck to you.

No they don't work! I've tried all diet patches, honey, and believe me... They really don't work.
Just think about it... How can a friggin patch get into your bloodstream and help cut your appetite? Seriously! Don't fall for the advertising gimmick.
If you're thinking about Hoodia, maybe the pills work better. I mean I'm not recommending them or anything I'm just saying that they might actually do something. They're still not good for your body though. Loads of hiddeous side effects that could cause organ(s) dysfunction... But, patches, big no-no!

Boy did you make a mistake asking anyone here about diet
pills or patches.The people here will tell you to eat right and
exorcise.That is their answer to everything,don't they no that some people can't exorcise and without it,it takes forever and most people give up before one pound drops off.I don't no about the patch but I no diet pills work.I lost 45 pounds
wail taking the Phentermine time release cap.I stopped taking the pill a year ago but now the weight is back so I guess I'll start taking the diet pill again.I myself do not have a problem taking something that works.
