07 Oct 08 Glucomannan Group Had a More Significant Weight Loss According to Study

Centro per la Farmacoterapia delle Malattie Nutrizionali, Università degli Studi di Milano.

Two groups of 25 severely obese patients underwent 3 months of hypocaloric diet therapy either alone or associated with a glucomannan-based fibrous diet supplement (approx. 4 g/die in 3 doses). The comparative analysis of the results obtained in both groups showed that the diet + glucomannan group had a more significant weight loss in relation to the fatty mass alone, an overall improvement in lipid status and carbohydrate tolerance, and a greater adherence to the diet in the absence of any relevant side effects. Due to the marked ability to satiate patients and the positive metabolic effects, glucomannan diet supplements have been found to be particularly efficacious and well tolerated even in the long-term treatment of severe obesity.

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.

06 Jun 08 Parents are Big Part of Problem, Block Teen Weight Loss

Kids really need a drill sargent. The drill sargent really lives the troops he drills all day. Parents want to be best friends with their children and so when it comes to weight loss, parents talk about it but provide almost no meaningful support. This is the conclusion tof research published in this weeks Journal of Pediatrics.

The parents who correctly recognized that their teen need to lose weight would talk a good game about dieting but did not prepare good meals and keep nutritious snack around the house. Instead they would bring salty snack and colas for the teen to eat.

Glucomannan is a safe diet pill for teens:

Although the exact mechanism of how fibers promote weight loss has not been determined, a number of hypothetical theories have been put forward by scientists.

1. Dilution of Energy Density: It is known that fibers have a low caloric value as compared to other food sources [2]. For this reason, adding it to the food creates a lowering of the energy-to-weight ratio of food, thereby reducing the amount of calories that are taken in.
2. Promotion of Satiety: A number of studies have shown that dietary fibers like glucomannan promote satisfaction in the human food consumption. Many different hypotheses as to how fibers do this both psychologically, physically and chemically have been shown. [2, 3, 4, 5]
3. Fecal Energy Loss: Studies have shown that soluble fibers act in the gastrointestinal tract and have been known to reduce the absorption of proteins and fats [6]. It has been further proposed that dietary fibers do this by reducing the contact of these substances to the walls of the intestine, and therefore prevent their absorption. There is considerable evidence to show that glucose and carbohydrate uptake is also reduced because of this action, thus it also shows its hypoglycemic effects [7]. Although these are just propositions, the exact mechanism of this still remains unclear [2].

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.

21 Mar 08 Glucomannan Great Safe Diet Pill

 Glucomannan has a proven record of weight loss and lowering cholesterol.

The good news is that according to a recent report in the British Medical Journal, three relatively new antiobesity drugs helped patients lose a moderate amount of weight while doing such things as lowering cholesterol and reducing the incidence of diabetes. The bad news is that the list of possible side effects doesn’t end there.

The study found that both of the diet pills the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved for long-term use may lead to a modest weight loss of about 5% to 10% of a person’s total body mass within the course of a year. But sibutramine, which was approved as a prescription drug in 1997 and is sold under the trade name Meridia, has been associated with increased blood pressure, insomnia and constipation. Meanwhile, orlistat, which since February has been heavily marketed as the over-the-counter aid Alli, can cause oily bowel movements so frequently that the package insert suggests women wear a panty liner when starting the regimen.

02 Mar 08 Glucomannan delays stomach emptying

Glucomannan delays stomach emptying, leading to a more gradual absorption of dietary sugar; this effect can reduce the elevation of blood sugar levels that is typical after a meal. ⁸ Controlled studies have found that after-meal blood sugar levels are lower in people with diabetes given glucomannan in their food, ⁹ and overall diabetic control is improved with glucomannan-enriched diets according to preliminary ¹⁰ and controlled ^{11 12} trials. One preliminary report suggested that glucomannan may also be helpful in pregnancy-related diabetes.¹³ One double-blind study reported that glucomannan (8–13 grams per day) stabilized blood sugar in people with the insulin resistance syndrome (syndrome X).¹⁴ In a preliminary study,¹⁵ addition of either 2.6 or 5.2 grams of glucomannan to a meal prevented hypoglycemia in adults with previous stomach surgery; a similar study of children produced inconsistent results. ¹⁶
Like other soluble fibers, glucomannan can bind to bile acids in the gut and carry them out of the body in the feces, which requires the body to convert more cholesterol into bile acids. ¹⁷ This can result in the lowering of blood cholesterol and other blood fats. Controlled ^{18 19} and double-blind ^{20 21} studies have shown that supplementation with several grams per day of glucomannan significantly reduced total blood cholesterol, LDL (”bad”) cholesterol, and triglycerides, and in some cases raised HDL (”good”) cholesterol. One double-blind study reported that glucomannan (8–13 grams per day) lowered total and LDL cholesterol in people with the insulin resistance syndrome. ²²
