About the diet pill called Hoodia... does that really works?

I am on it now - so lets hope so. I have been on for about 2 weeks and things are getting loose.

Hoodia is a herbal diet aid, whose only active ingredient is steroidal glycoside (P57), basically this aid blocks the mind from feeling hungry and thirsty. SO make sure you drinks lots of water so you don't dehydrate. This "might" help you in the beginning, to get a jump start, but not to feel hungry and not eat is not good, you need so many nutrients every day to maintain you body. There are no published studies on the safety of this product and that would worry me, I would make sure that there are no medication interactions if your on other drugs, or have diabetes, liver or kidney problems, check with a Doctor if you have these problems first.
