*Consult a physician before trying this or any dietary supplement.
Almost one year ago, I gave birth to twins. This was my second pregnancy. Since that time, I've been determined to get my pre-pregnancy body back. I got a gym membership and I got on a diet. Initially, my weight loss was very slow, about 1 pound a month. I started hitting a plateau (not losing, but not gaining), so I decided to look up dietary supplements/weight loss aids. I was always very skeptical about them.
I googled hoodia, which has been all the rage for the past year. There were so many hoodia pills out there, I didn't know which one was the right one.
I finally came accross Power Pops, hoodia in the form of a lollipop. I saw a youtube video clip of an "Extra" segment which reported the pops as Hollywood's latest weight loss secret. I decided to look past the hype and do some research.
What intrigued me about Power Pops was the concept. After doing research, I learned that the concept was based on absorption. In South Africa, they suck the hoodia straight from the plant. It's been proven that through absorption, one consumes 96% of the nutrients whereas in pills you only consume 10%.
With all other hoodia supplements there was at least one negative review. I always read the negative reviews before reading the positives.
I was surprised to not find a single negative review on Power Pops. That's when I was finally convinced to purchase one bag, just to give them a try.The next morning after receiving my bag in the mail, I tried one pop 30 minutes before my meal with a glass of water, as was instructed.
About 2 minutes after putting the pop in my mouth, I didn't feel hungry. I was surprised to see that these pops work immediately. It takes about 30 minutes to suck on one pop. They truly do taste great. If I hadn't known any better, I could've sworn they were real lollipops. I went on to eat my breakfast, and I was satisfied with a smaller portion.I was afraid I'd feel weird side effects. I was surprised when I felt completely normal. Any energy I felt was natural, that's because Power Pops are free of stimulants like caffeine and ephedra.
The energy in Power Pops comes from Vitamin B-6, Vitamin B-12, and Guarana.It took me 2 weeks to go through the entire bag. I weighed myself after that and I had lost 4 pounds!
I decided to become a retail associate, to continue purchasing Power Pops at the wholesale price. Their company, Fun Unlimited not only sells Power Pops, but also provides a global business opportunity so one can make money while losing weight.
I once again started hitting a plateau, so I decided to modify my diet and my exercise routine. Once I did that, the weight loss continued, and now, over 3 weeks later, I lost 10 lbs and I'm still losing. On average, I'm losing about half a pound a day.In conclusion, Power Pops do work. Results vary, and it's very important to take them in addition to a balanced diet in order to keep the weight off. I'll be posting before and after pics for every 10 pounds I lose until I reach my goal weight. Below are the most rescent pictures of my progress.
