I combined coffee with hoodia. It was pretty good mix.
"Hoodia -- a succulent, not a cactus, as it's often erroneously described -- has lots of hoopla, but little science, at least little published science, as even advocates admit. Experts familiar with it say hoodia tricks your brain into thinking you're full. But they acknowledge that published, scientific studies proving hoodia works long-term are sparse.
Because it is sold as a dietary supplement, hoodia escapes the level of scrutiny the FDA gives prescription drugs and medications sold over the counter.
The Science
Hoodia does have some evidence to back it up, says Mark Blumenthal, founder and executive director of the American Botanical Council, a nonprofit research organization in Austin, Texas. He cites one laboratory study but says the evidence is not conclusive.
"We can only say the evidence available to us right now, which is considered inadequate, suggests that there is some type of appetite-suppressing mechanism in some of the naturally occurring chemicals in hoodia," Blumenthal says. He adds that his organization has not received any consumer reports of safety problems with hoodia use.
The laboratory evidence Blumenthal refers to was produced by David MacLean, MD, an adjunct associate professor at Brown University in Providence, R.I., and a former researcher at the pharmaceutical giant, Pfizer. In a report published in the Sept. 10, 2004, issue of Brain Research, MacLean reported that a molecule in hoodia, called P57, likely has an effect on the brain's hypothalamus, which helps regulate appetite. His study was done in animals.?

people,people,people The first post was posted to get you to buy a product. Use your web radar. Maybe the "you should try this- it's amazing line" in post 15 
is a hint.
Now to continue the coffee question. Black coffee, or in my choice tea, can be a good substitute for high cal/empty nutrition . I am adding fiber supplement to my morning drink and to my afternoon cup.

It helps you lose weight, but not very fast. Also, many people drink coffee with sugars, so this actually does not help. I will share my experience with you; I just ate protein rich foods with raw vegetables like carrot, beetroot, spinach juice, cabbage and just close to 30 days my friends noticed the change in my body. So, I recommend you to have protein foods to lose fats fast.
