Hoodia works by releasing a chemical compound that tricks the brain into believing that food has been consumed. Clinical trials conducted on obese subjects showed that caloric intake was reduced by about 1,000 calories a day. This is a substantial decrease considering the average caloric intake is about 2,600 calories for men and 1,900 for woman.
