Total Diet

Recently we heard of Glucomannan, which is a soluble fiber and is derived from the konjac plant. Various research studies suggest that Glucomannan can be an effective agent in weight loss.

One study demonstrated that 2 to 4 grams per day of Glucomannan resulted in significant weight loss.
A recent study by the University of Connecticut, Storrs (zoocon) showed that the addition of exercise to a diet regimen including Glucomannan significantly improved body fat composition and HDL-C, and TC/HDL-C ratio.

In a study comparing Glucomannan to other fibers such as guar gum and alginate for weight loss, only glucomannan appeared to cause weight loss.

We will keep an eye on this one and update you on latest developments on this one.
