Bulk Glucomannan Powder, Konjac, 1 kg

This is easy to take in the morning 30 minutes before breakfast and subsequent meals, it allows me to eat a smaller portion size than I could usually cope with. It does slow down digestion however and this is not ideal, so it is really important to actively get on with not just dieting but also to get your heart rate into the "training zone" to shift fat, this can be done with HIIT that actually gets your heart rate pounding, rather than genteel HIIT which seems to have become popular on Youtube, and will do less for weight loss, but may still help to regulate appetite, which exercise also does. This supplement should be taken away from supplements as it can reduce their absorption, so I take mine 2/3rds of the way through eating a meal and always have a gap after the glucomannan before eating. The product is tasteless, it is difficult to mix into water, I use the scoop to measure and stir constantly while gradually emptying the contents of the scoop, however, I feel this may be preferable to consuming in capsule form as it may be more difficult to estimate how long it takes the capsule to break down in the stomach and release its contents, and it may not mix and instead form a hard ball that causes dehydration later on in the intestine. Hence, I'll continue to consume in powder form despite the added faff.

I hardly ever write reviews, but I've lost 9 pounds in the last four weeks and this really helps. And that's with a two-week holiday in the middle of that period, when I ate everything in sight and drank loads (well, we were in the wine region of South Africa, you would, wouldn't you). I gained two pounds on holiday, much less than I normally would gain for two weeks of sheer piggery. And it was all gone again within three days. So overall it's been 9 pounds and I'm confident it will keep going. I only have another five pounds or so to go to reach my target weight so I'm probably not losing that fast anymore.So, about the konjac. It took me a little while to figure out how to take it without gagging, it is disgusting if you don't disguise the flavour. But I've worked this out now. I have bottles of sugar free bitter lemon (less than £1 for a huge bottle) and mix it with that. I put a heaped teaspoon of the konjac into a smallish glass, pour the bitter lemon over the top, stir until all the lumps are gone, hold my breath and drink it straight down. I then fill the glass with water again to get any remaining bits and drink that too. This way, I don't even notice the taste, truthfully!!The internet says that taking it 15-60 minutes before a meal is best, and that's what I try to do, but sometimes I've left a much bigger time gap than that - and other times I've taken it and then gone straight into the food. So from my experience that doesn't make a lot of difference.What I do notice is that I eat less. Some people on here have said it fills them up completely, and I don't find that, but it takes the edge off my hunger and I don't feel the need to eat anything like as much as normal. I then also seem to be able to go longer without needing a snack in the middle of the afternoon. Once or twice when I really did feel hungry, I just had another glass of the stuff and as long as you have the willpower to wait half an hour or so until it kicks in, it does really help to control that craving. But it is really is all about willpower - it won't make you feel like you had a proper meal. You have to have some self control too. At certain times of the month, I don't!! but the overall trend is good, it's easy to take now, and I'm certain it's making a real difference. I've also increased my levels of exercise.A note for those of you who might want to try travelling with this - I also bought the konjac capsules from Amazon and those are what I took with me on holiday. It's a lot easier to deal with than a powder and a spoon while you're travelling. But those are more expensive, so I went back to the powder when I got home and am keeping the capsules for when I'm out and about.good luck!

I’m on medication that gives me insatiable hunger no matter how much (nutritious) food I eat. Read about this on Reddit and I’ve been using it a week - really helps. I was previously waking up in the night hungry despite eating well in the day or even being immediately hungry after a big meal, and has stopped this and the constant hollow feeling I was experiencing.Important note that I don’t think is clear - you need to down 2 or 3 glasses of water immediately after for this to work properly. I wasn’t finding it helpful at first then read that somewhere else and made a huge difference.Haven’t particularly noticed any bloating and have been eating normally with it.

Doesn't mix well, Ive tried all sort of whisks, so can be a bit lumpy so if you dont mind that its ok. No flavour but not bad, just like dring thick water with a few lumps in! Does make your appetite subside which is the main reason I purchased

This has got to be the most awful form of glucomannan I have ever had the misfortune of trying! There is no way you can actually dissolve this powder to allow you to drink - it simply turns to lumps within the liquid making it almost impossible to drink. It's foul!After a week of perseverance it had no effect on my appetite at all.There is a reason it is the price it is - it's useless!I have put it where it belongs - in the bin!

I did not find to help me with hunger. Causes a bit of nauseas
