Here are the weight loss benefits of glucomannan (konjac root):
- Improves digestion
- Stimulates bowel movement
- Cleans sludge and fat from colon
- Regulates insulin
- Keeps you fuller longer
- Blocks some calories from being absorbed
You should take glucomannan with at least an 8 ounce glass of water about 30 minutes before meal times. It will bind with the water and form a thick gel. This will make you feel a little full before you eat.
Glucomannan has proven it's weight loss capacities in clinical studies. Studies show that you don't even have to restrict calories or exercise more to lose weight with glucomannan. In one study, the subjects were given 1000 mg of glucomannan or a placebo before meals. They did not change their normal routines. After 8 weeks, those who took glucomannan had lost 5.5 lbs.
We do not get enough fiber in our diets. The average American gets about 12-17 grams of fiber per day. You should be getting about 35 grams of fiber per day. Taking an extra fiber supplement makes it so much easier to get that extra fiber.
You should increase your intake of fiber slowly, so as to not upset your digestive tract. Work your way up to full dosage over the course of a week or so. Drink plenty of water with your fiber supplement to ensure it's effectiveness.
Glucomannan can be purchased either alone or combined with other herbs in certain products. Glucomannan alone is priced at $5 a bottle at Swanson Vitamins. There are some outrageously priced weight loss products that use glucomannan as the main ingredient. Make sure you don't go out and pay $60 for something you could have paid $5 for.
There is a glucomannan complex with other herbs at Swanson Vitamins that has a lot of good reviews. It's $17. That's not bad for a weight loss complex. They also sell plain glucomannan for $5.
Glucomannan has been tested and proven. The clinical tests and the reviews are enough to prove it's effectiveness.
Great article on glucomannan. I've been using a supplement for 3 months now with glucomannan in it and have great results so far. My appetite is under control and I've weight too. For more info go to http://SkinnyFiberWorks.info
ReplyDeleteI was using Skinny Fiber at one time too, but the thing about it is, you are just spending way too much on some fiber that you can get for a lot cheaper.
ReplyDeleteThe other ingredients don't get absorbed because the fiber blocks most of the absorption. That's why they say not to take prescriptions at the same time that you take fiber.
So basically you are just taking fiber for weight loss which is good but you can get it for much cheaper. The price above shows you that you can pay $5 for glucomannan instead of buying Skinny Fiber for $60 or $70. I don't even remember how much it is but it's something like that.
Yea they might also have a compensation program, but if you do the math, you would need hundreds of people in your downline just to make decent money from it.
If you didn't get in on Skinny Fiber during the pre-launch, you are basically just wasting money on fiber you can get for so much cheaper.
