Glucomannan Makes Weight Loss Faster & Easier

Glucomannan is a plant fiber that comes from konjac root and it has some special properties that can help you lose weight.
Unlike other plant fibers (which are also healthy) it can absorb up to 100x its weight in water.
This holding of water allows it to press against stretch receptors in your stomach which impacts appetite.
But this is just one benefit, here are 3 ways that glucomannan can help you lose weight:
1. By helping you to control your appetite.
When taken before a meal, and with water, glucomannan absorbs water which pushes against your stomach walls. This then sends signals to the brain that you are full. But, in this case, you are full of plant fiber and not food which means you are hacking your appetite.
2. By delaying the absorption of sugar and carbohydrates.
When introduced to water, glucomannan turns into a sticky viscous fiber which delays the absorption of glucose and carbohydrates. This delay means better insulin and blood sugar control which means more weight loss.
3. By positively impacting gut health.
The healthier your gut is, the easier it will be to lose weight. This is why studies show that taking both probiotics and prebiotics can often result in fat loss. Study here: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
How do you use it? For weight loss, 3 grams per day taken 15-20 minutes with a big glass of water before your biggest meal of the day works best.
Using it this way helps your brain think you are eating way more calories than you actually are which means that you can naturally suppress your caloric intake without causing severe hunger pangs.
For even better results, combine glucomannan with olive oil and l-glutamine. You can see all 3 of these ingredients in the ratios that I recommend here: www.restartmed.com/product/gl...

I take Berberine HCI with Glucommann, I one week I lost 7lbs, probably water weight but the scale is moving and I’m going to stick with it because I have 100lbs to lose. I stopped energy drinks, chips, cookies, chocolate, snacking and eating grapes, bananas, legumes. My cravings are gone blood sugar normal. I was always hungry before and would just eat whatever.

I took a look at the supplements I'm taking after watching your videos and realized we're wasting a lot of money on trash and some of these were from my Drs office. Looking forward to seeing how these new supplements work along with the Armour Thyroid I was just put on. Thanks. Didn't the 20% off code until after the purchase. 😕oh well will use next time.

Hello Dr. Childs, I have a big question for you. I would like to take all these weight-loss supplements, but I am also spending a fortune on other supplements at the moment, eg anti-aging and nootropics. I fear that if I take these weight-loss supplements I will not digest my other supplements properly, and I will lose the benefits of these other supplements. Could you please advise? Thank you, Gerard.
