Hoodia gordonii, an herb, was well known to the San Bushmen who inhabits the Kalahari and Namib Deserts. Being traditionally nomadic hunters, they go for hunting that will last for about a week.

They would first remove the roots, leaves, spines and flowers from the plant. Then they would peel away the skin of the stem and eat them. Scientists have found that what it does is to mimic the signals that glucose will send to the nerve cells in the brain, but many times powerful than glucose. This will suppress your urge to eat.
