Many people are using hoodia to suppress their appetites and lose weight. Hoodia is a cactus-like succulent that grows in the deserts of South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Angola.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Step 1

Wash and dry a hairless section of your body, such as the stomach, upper arm, back or shoulder. Apply a new patch each day to the selected area, leaving each patch on for 24 hours. It may take a couple days for the hoodia patch's appetite-reducing effects to begin.
Step 2

Continue to exercise regularly and drink plenty of water. Hoodia patch manufacturers recommend wearing the patches at least 90 days to achieve maximum results. You may also purchase hoodia in powder, liquid, capsule or tea form.
Step 3

Learn the side effects of hoodia. Since hoodia is a supplement, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn't regulate it. Some studies indicate that hoodia may harm the liver and may interact with other drugs. Diabetics shouldn't use hoodia because it interferes with the body's perception of blood sugar levels. Pregnant or nursing women should avoid hoodia.
