After my first baby was born, I found it very hard, impossible to be exact, to get back to my weight, which I had before giving birth. My appetite and my hunger were just too big. Again, trying all possible diets did not help, because they did not really fight the hunger. It was just not enough food they offered. So I desperately needed to find a solution, a way to lose weight, which was based on appetite suppression and hunger control.

Without experience and knowledge whatsoever, my first thought was: hunger control? There only can be one way for hunger control, which is, obviously, eating enough. But eating enough automatically means, eating so much that the hunger is gone, which would mean to accept that the weight will not drop, maybe even increase. And let's not even talk about appetite suppression? If I have the feeling I must have a peace of cake, the appetite for something sweet, it takes quite an effort, to keep me away from it. So what would be strong and convincing enough for appetite suppression in my case?

So I started to inform myself, trying to find a solution for this dilemma. Reading and researching on the internet I looked for material about hunger control and appetite suppression. Talking almost 20 years ago, not even 20 % of today's information was available. There was talk about a few new chemicals, which should help to fill the stomach for hunger control, but they did nothing for appetite suppression.

I tried them anyway. And in a way they worked, as far as hunger control was concerned. The pills expanded in the stomach like a sponge and so it was physically impossible to eat too much. But they had no effect whatsoever on appetite suppression. Because appetite suppression has nothing to do with the stomach, it is a matter of the brain. So by taking these pills, I had two choices: either to lose weight and be constantly cranky or try to lose weight by controlling my appetite with self-control (which obviously would not work!). And being cranky all the time would not be the best recipe for my marriage.

So it was back to square one. Starting to research again, this time I really dove into the material. There must be a solution for hunger control and appetite suppression at the same time. Around this time there appeared the first reports about a new thing, a cactus from the Kalahari, on the internet. Hoodia Gordonii was very quickly the widest known secret, when it came to weight loss. A natural product, which fought obesity and also worked for hunger control and appetite suppression? This sounded too good to be true.

But anyhow, I really started to get desperate. I had my second child and my weight was in regions, where it never was before. I urgently needed a solution for hunger control and appetite suppression. So I ordered my first supply of Hoodia, reluctantly, but I ordered. This was in 1994 – and I never looked back since. Appetite suppression and hunger control never were an issue again.
