"Hi I'm Ashleigh Gass, Strength and Conditioning Specialist of brilliantathlete.com. Hoodia is a herbal supplement that is marketed very extensively for weight loss. Now I can't stress enough that weight loss doesn't come from one supplement. Weight loss and body fat loss for that matter are really the results of long term strength training and commitment to a great nutritional plan. A great nutritional plan doesn't include deprivation or starvation of any kind it includes adding more healthy foods to your diet while you slowly eliminate foods that you know shouldn't be there on a daily basis. For a really excellent guide on what to eat and how to plan ahead to prepare all your meals in advance you have got to go to brilliantathlete.come and check out Precision Nutrition. This is a system that really puts everything together not for you but it will give you all the tools that you need in order to understand this yourself. So again when you are looking at having to lose or wanting to lose body fat and a bit of body weight it is really important that you take a multi disciplinary approach to this because it is not just about taking a particular herb which won't really work at all in the short term and specifically won't work very well on the long term. Again for more information just go to brilliantathlete.com."
