Whoever thought sucking on a lolly pop would help you lose weight….well stars like Britney Spears, Eva Longoria and Nicole Richie are rumoured to have all tried the ‘lolly pop diet’. These Hollywood starlets have been spotted sucking on Power-pops, also known as Hoodia pops, to lose weight.

These magical weight lose pops are mainly made from Hoodia, which is an African herb that suppresses appetite. By adding a couple of pops to a healthy diet and exercise routine, it’s said to help in weight lose by causing you to feel fuller….thus you eat less. Simple.

The pops contain 4 calories each and release natural energy, so they are perfect as snacks. But many stars that go on the diet use them as a meal supplement, which is not recommended.

If you are going to try Power-pops there are a few outlines you can follow to reap the full benefits; like drink a big glass of water before a pop and then a big glass after. Make sure you follow all instructions that come with the pops.

Happy sucking!

    Another weight loss gimmick! These companies are probably sponsoring these "stars"( I use that term quite loosely)! A few quick bucks made conning ppl about weight loss! Exercise n a healthy food plan will in most cases work quite well! lol Good luck to all who try!

    Drinking two large glasses of water will make you feel fuller, with or without the lollypop!
