Glucomannan 

THIS ONE CAN REALLY help you feel full for a long time, even eating virtually nothing at all!

Glucomannan  is a fiber obtained primarily from the roots of the konjac plant (see image above). It can absorb up to 200 times its weight in water, and has the highest viscosity ("thickness"…water is “thin”—honey is “thick”) of any known dietary fiber.  

Because glucomannan is so filling (yet with virtually no calories) and slows digestion dramatically, it is one of the most effective appetite suppressants used today—often appearing in the “top three” or “top five” lists of such suppressants. Many people consider glucomannan to be their “go to” choice for an appetite suppressant.  

Research (studies too numerous to cite, but easily available with an online search) shows that glucomannan has all these beneficial effects: 

·         Suppresses appetite  

·         Creates marked feelings of satiation 

·         Slows digestion: delays emptying of stomach 

·         Relieves constipation 

·         Lowers blood cholesterol 

·         Lowers blood sugar 

A warning 

For all these great benefits, it is vital that anyone taking glucomannan do so only with plenty of water. Most glucomannan, whether in powder or capsule form, comes with a suggested ratio of glucomannan to water. Without enough water, digestion may not just slow, but nearly stop! No one wants that problem! 

But if used as directed—typically a few capsules with a glass of water a half hour or so before meals—glucomannan can be a powerful part of your effort to get your hunger under control.
