12 Jun 08 Glucomannan Good, Lipozene Bad (and a Scam, too!)
Fiber in general and Glucomannan in particular, are very good for weight loss. But not 2 pounds per week. That isn’t even healthy. Glucomannan has been used to treat diabetes, hypoglycemia, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, constipation and weight loss (moderate), so, what is it? When you’re trying to trim down, soluble fiber is your BFF — it expands in your digestive tract, making you feel fuller and warding off snack attacks. But a girl can down only so many bowls of All-Bran before she feels so gassy and bloated she’s afraid to leave the bathroom. There is one kind of soluble fiber, however, that works without the nasty side effects. Glucomannan, which comes from an Asian plant known as the konjac, or elephant yam, is nature’s get-skinny sponge. Able to expand up to 50 times its own water weight, it’s one of the world’s most effective fibers, so you can cut down on calories without even trying. Researchers at Chicago Rush University College of Nursing reviewed 12 clinical trials to determine the benefits of glucomannan and found that it promotes weight loss and satiety.
Glucomannan is also flavorless, so you can add it in powder form to just about anything, from smoothies to frozen entrées to sauces. Mix it in thoroughly (otherwise you might get unappetizing clumps that can stick in your throat) and wait 2 to 3 minutes for it to soak up whatever sauce, broth, dressing, or other liquid is on your plate. It will thicken your food and fill up your stomach, sending satiety signals to your brain. Because of that, you’ll want to wash it down with plenty of water, so drink at least 8 ounces of H2O with every meal or snack. A good brand is FibraSlim - This month is on sale two bottles - 360 caps for just $29.99 with shipping. The same amount of Lipozene would be at least $90!
Lipozene is brought to you by the same marvelous company that had to pay fines to the FTC for making bad claims about Propolene.

23 Mar 08 Glucomannan: What is it and Why do we need it? by Diet Pill Xpert
FibraSlim with Glucomannan is a great way to lose weight and keep it off.
FibraSlim’s main ingredient is a water-soluble dietary fiber derived from the konjac root, a Japanese plant. The plant is cleaned, and the fiber is purified before being used as a the key component is FibraSlim diet supplement.
The main uses of glucomannan are to promote larger stools and improve digestion. Studies conducted on individuals suffering from constipation have shown that glucomannan supplementation helps produce a bowel movement within 12 to 24 hours. Glucomannan also delays the emptying of stomach contents, which allows for a more gradual absorption of dietary sugar, and can reduce blood sugar levels. As a result, some scientists believe that glucomannan can be used to help treat diabetes and related conditions.
Because glucomannan is a soluble fiber, it can bind to certain acids produced in the stomach and remove them from the body. In this way, it can help lower blood cholesterol and blood lipid levels. Controlled studies have shown that glucomannan can reduce levels of total blood cholesterol, LDL (or “bad”) cholesterol, and triglycerides, and may even raise levels of HDL (”good”) cholesterol. Glucomannan may also help promote weight loss.
How much glucomannan should I take?
The amount of glucomannan to be consumed depends on the condition being treated. A basic guide for glucomannan supplementation is as follows:
- Laxative: 3-4 grams per day
- Lowering blood cholesterol: 4-13 grams per day
- Controlling blood sugar: 500-700 milligrams per 100 calories in one’s daily diet
- Weight loss: 1-3 grams before each meal
It is also recommended that patients drink at least eight ounces of water each time they consume any bulk-forming laxative such as glucomannan.
