Hi Dr, is taking this safe for those with hypothyroid?
I eat one meal a day but hated the constant hunger pangs ..this fiber changed everything ..now I awake in the morning and take a dose of konjac .hunger is gone until around noon then I take my second dose...then an hour before my only meal of the day I take my final dose...ladies and gentlemen if you do this I promise daily weight loss no matter how stubborn your fat is.
Thank you for sharing your routine, I can't wait to try myself:)
I'm sorry I thought u were referring to glucomannan.
@@coliveira6660 I was referring to glucamannon....it's also called konjac ..brand name is called lipozene
How many pills you are taking ?
I'm sure the weight loss is from the OMAD, not any supplements.
The last thing you said about feeling "gross full" on the glucomannan was actually the opposite for me. I feel gross full if I overeat, but the glucomannan just makes me feel not hungry. Which is awesome!!
Try replacing meals with konjac...it makes you feel like you ate
Hey dear 👋
If you want the best appetite for the best shape of your body then you can stay with me .I will provide the best for you which makes you feel hungry.
Thankyou ❤
Stay healthy and make your body shape best 💖
@richardlawson6787 yeah but konjac tastes weird smells gross and the texture is weird
@@posto8421 I have Lipozene so it's in pill form.
I have been using Glucomannan for about 2 weeks. I ordered the powder so I can regulate the dosage and avoid potential side effects. I am an intermittent faster. I don't eat breakfast or lunch and eat my meal around 6PM. I started with 1/4 teaspoon mix in a cup of water, drink all of 8 ounces and then drink another cup. I have found to be eating less and slower. Also I have more complete bowel movements, no more constipation and I might add I feel as though I was getting a colon cleanse initially. I haven't really lost weight but I feel less sluggish and have more energy. I would love to loose about 40 pounds but I feel the glucomannan has helped me more than any supplement or plan I have tried.
Waow it very good to know you use it and it working for you , can you please tell me the one you are using, thank you very much.
Do you eat it with your meals or while in fasting mode?
I have had it in fasting mode but more frequently I drink it a cup of water while making my “one meal a day.” I also added it to a protein shake after a workout. It’s pretty versatile. I have never had stomach issues, bloating or cramping as noted here. I believe it’s because using a powder allows more precise dosage. My best is 1/4 teaspoon.
@@janiedawes3647 thanks so much for replying, just ordered mine yesterday!
Try one meal a day and you'll lose that weight...can't lose weight when you are fed
YOU PICK UP WHERE OTHER FAKE DOCTORS LEFT OUT THE IMPORTANT DETAILS! GREAT JOB!
I’ve been eating shirataki rice or glucomannan rice for 3 days. I only tried it because it has less calories than normal rice. Little did I know that it actually suppresses my appetite which is good for me. From eating 3 times a day with snacks, Im now eating only once or twice a day without actually feeling hungry. I already feel like I lost a few pounds. Thanks for this vid! Appreciate you!
Where can I buy some of this rice?
That’s not healthy. You will crash your metabolism and cause other problems (thyroid etc). Unless youre eating a a variety of foods and calories in one meal then fasting, you’re looking at some problems in the future. Consult a dietitian/medical doctor.
I was sick with Shiritaki noodles
A super informative video! Thank you for taking the time of your day to film this and inform us!
I've heard it can reduce bad cholesterol and lower high blood sugar
The konjac pasta made out of glucomannan does exactly what the doc said... I am always full because I feel kinda sick as if I ate a lot. Nausea 24/7 but I lost few kgs already considered I don’t really have extra weight, just wanted to get thinner . Plus The konjac noodles tastes great with soya sauce or teriyaki sauce veggies etc. totally in love with this product
It can also reduce fat absorption.
GREAT VIDEO! THANKS FOR THE DETAILS...KEEP TEACHING!
Good video, thanks and keep it up doc
Super helpful video!!
Dr Yeung you did a great job of explaining this product. Thank you. Now I can make an imformed decision. Thanks again.
thank you 😊😊😊
Dr Brian Yeung
I use Glucomannon in powder form. Generally, a tablespoon stirred in 20 oz of cold water. I'm using it as I start following a 16/8 Intermittent Fasting Protocol. I tend to be hungry in the morning and need something to stabilize me until my feeding window. I'm T2D so my goal is reverse completely.
Feeding windows 😂
Are you still taking glucomman and do you still recommend it?
Very interesting. Thank you!
It's also good for fasting and low calorie diets if you experience hunger pangs. Just take the capsules with plenty of water.
What a great video and channel! New subbie. Thank you
At my Asian market I found vegan shrimp made of konjac and they are extremely delicious. I've been eating them for years, and if you like konjac you will love them!
Sounds great, can you name the brand? I’d like to try to order it
thx doc !
Yes they have it at vitamins stores in a pill form
I started taking glucomannan along with ashwaganda gummies with ksm yesterday, I am also intermittent fasting so I only eat 1 meal a day which is dinner. I must say that im not hungry and hopefully i can lose the 30 pounds that I need to lose.
Any updates ma’am?
@@TwinkieReid It really works, I took it for almost a month and lost 15 pounds.
@@micheleadamson9867Wow! That's wonderful! Congrats!🎉
How did you take it? Mixed with just water? I want to try it but not sure how to take the powder form.
@@theTimeIsNow2009 I took the pills and what I did was take 2 pills before dinner because that is the only meal that I eat, But it says to take 2 pills 30 minutes before your meal.
I can see why taking it before a meal would be good. But have only taken it after a meal, when i am still really craving more food. Within a couple minutes I am breathing a big sigh of relief.
No nausea, just happy that i am not craving more food which will cause me to put on weight.
Just bought from Amazon
I just purchased a bottle of glucomannan capsules. I just took one. I fast every other day. I am adding a bit of fiber on the days I don’t eat.
Which brand did you purchase?
@@kimberlyjohnson9604 Nutricost
thank you
Thanks for this information on Gulcomannan. I've been using glucomannan as a sauce thickener, like cornstarch would do. I didn't realize it was for suppressing appetite.
😂
@@garibay3138he was getting skinty without him realising. Hahaha. Good for him
Hallo doktor, Can i take the clucomannanpills with bouillon?
Thank you
Ya they all live together
which brand i should use
I ate shiratake pasta yesternight and it felt like my stomach was saying finally thank you i felt this nice buzzy warm feeling in my stomach and my hunger cravings were gone and i woke up today feeling happy overall!! So im thinking i needed this type of fiber all along!!
Amazing. I had the same, warm, fuzzy..happy..relaxed feeling..like my body wash saying
"Ahhhh..yes!! ..Finally..thank you. The feeling of relaxation and satisfaction lasted for hours after eating the Shirataki noodles dish I had made. I Highly recommend Konjac products.. So good.. on so many levels.
Could it be found in pill form at the local GNC?
Hi Doctor. Can you take this with Alli Orlistat? Thank you for this great video!
A lot of people do exactly this to reduce oily stools, but always ask your doctor first.
Will purchase and come back with results…
Can I take this while doing extended fast? Any calories?
I'm on corticosteroids and am hungry all the time I eat a low calorie low fat diet, I have a portion plate and I stick to it religiously, but am really struggling to loose weight, my doctor has put me on orlistat but it's not working, I eat very little fat, I know you can't give medical advice, but being steroid dependent and on immune suppressants, I'm always hungry do you think it would be worth suggesting this to my doctor will be grateful for any reply 🙏
I am the only one that gets increased appetite after taking the capsules 😯😯😯 after I take them in an hour I am starting and I AM HUNGRY . Before them i felt way less hungry with OMAD.
I’ve been taking two glucomannan supplements (total 2400mg) after dinner. I have been trying to eat less at dinner time and I really think this supplement helps reduce any potential hunger pains before bed and keep me from late night, snacking ! It has definitely helped with that. I think I have lost a few pounds, but maybe because I have changed my dietary habits to eating more plant-based and only very lean proteins.
Yes
can we share your videos 😁
to our friends
Does it effect the Kidney?
I'm always feeling bloated and I am not regular at all. I wonder if this would help me.
I do drink enough water
Tried now. Didn't work for me not even to go to toilet
My powder solidifies too fast and is like swallowing slugs with my water 😢
So if someone is obese and has stretched out their stomach, will they need larger doses to get the same bulking effect in their stomach?
Are there any supplements you would like me to cover? Let me know in the comments!
Turmeric capsules please
Is it in metformin cause I do go to the bathroom twice a day
Also gives me stomach cramps 😮
PRIMA?
Rituals Synbiotic+ … it’s a Prebiotic, probiotic, and postbiotic all in one..
High-dose caffeine pills
Very interesting. I've ordered tablets for 30 days. Will see if helps me to achieve my goals.
Not helped at all
@@gogi931 it didn't help to suppress your appetite? I was also thinking of trying it
@@borracha279 yes and didn't eat less because of it for example
@@gogi931 thank you for replying! i guess i might try it and see if it does anything for me. i tend to binge eat big amounts of crap food :(
@@gogi931 I think you need to make sure to drink a lot of water with it in pill form. Otherwise maybe try the noodles?
What if u had the sleeve surgery
Want to try for my 17 years old son is it safe
Wish you. Were closer so i could have a consultation.
I am taking 2 pills 575 mg before meals with a 500 ml water, and I don’t feel anything .. still hungry and craving food .. any suggestions!?
You didn’t say when exactly you would take the pill. I know it’s 30 minutes before any meal but you didn’t say it
I see that several people are commenting on their diets which include shirataki noodles and Konica pastas. I have tried shirataki and if konjac is similar to shirataki, it has a bland taste and the feel of rubber! I had to throw that expensive rubbery concoction in the trash.
Good Morning Dr. Yeung. I would like to ask about an aid that would help increase weight loss for obesity? Also with high blood pressure that is under control with medication. Thank you 💕🙏
Easy...listen carefully...start eating just once a day...at first your body is gonna rebel so give your body time to adjust...next cut out drinking any calories. .cut out candy and table sugar...go for a daily walk ..do a three day fast once per month ..why play around with losing weight when you can get serious and see daily weight loss
I also put inulin in my coffee a couple times a day.
What is it?
Soluble fiber is a good idea for weight loss in general.
This is insoluble
I take mine not only before a meal by about 20 minutes or a 1/2 hour but I also take it later in the day without a meal just to avoid hunger.
How many pills you are taking? I take 2 pills 575 mg and its not affective at all I am super hungry 😩
@@nooralmuhaidib9040 I’m taking 1 g 3 x a day in protein shakes - they thicken my shake plus help keep me full. Note 1g to 300ml water in shakes and additional water in between.
Glucomannan mide hastalığı olan insanlarda kullanabiliyor mu? Örneğin gastrit huzursuz bağırsak sendromu gibi hastalığı olanlar?
Can I Add Glucomannan Capsules In My Protein Shake Before Blending?
Sure, but you might prefer using glucomannan powder if you plan to do that :)
Is it true that it can also help with blood glucose levels? I’m a LADA diabetic and have been looking at using this to help lose weight/help my levels
It might help a little to reduce the glycemic index of some foods you eat with it.
Is there a way to drink this to where it doesn’t clump up so fast that it feels like I’m drinking clumps of jelly??? Help!!!
Can u have this at night? I work till late night and at times when I get home from work at 9pm I get really hungry even after drinking 2 cups of water still hungry
Yes people take it at any time.
I wonder if it interferes with nutrient absorption one way or the other.
Interesting question, the evidence would suggest there might be slight interference with absorbing fat-soluble vitamins like Vitamin E, but not as much interference as something like orlistat.
I have started a low carb diet as well, hopefully this works along with glucomannan
Hey, how’s your weight loss journey going?
You can eat anything you want if you just eat once per day ..
G'day can yu please share some recent (last 5yrs) studies on konjac I need for assignment. All I can find are studies with no or not substantial effects, but I know it works!
I was just looking up glucomannan and nausea. I’ve taken this four times now with a full glass of water or water and juice mix. Very sadly. I am nauseated with it and vomited. Not sure the reason but just sharing this experience. Wish it worked different day for me!
Hey baby try eating the hard mints just always keep them with you or eat plain chips or pretzels it helps me when I feel sick to my stomach good luck 🤞
What are your thoughts on drinkable konjac jelly?
I'd treat it like any 0 calorie, artificially sweetened drinks, like diet coke. Although it technically has 0 calories, it may cause some people to continue to crave other sweet, carb-heavy foods. So I'd avoid it if I could, or only have it very sparingly, like a little treat.
The video say take WITH a meal. The directions on my bottle say take 20 minutes BEFORE a meal. Which is it?
Most people try to have it slightly before meals.
Do you know if it’s safe to use Glucomanin if you’ve had Gastric Sleeve weight loss surgery a few years ago and are starting to regain? I’m worried about how it bulks up the stomach, wouldn’t that cause the sleeve to stretch out over time? Thanks
I know a number of patients using glucomannan while on their sleeve. Some stretching is normal over time, and taking a soluble fiber supplement isn't likely going to stretch it more. Ask your doctor or surgeon to make sure it's safe for you.
Looking to lose 15-20 lbs. what’s the best quickest recommendation? Thank you
He dear 👋
Do you want to lose 15 -20 lbs. I have some recommendations for you. If you want interested in it. Then you can chat with me .
Thankyou

Nervous breakdown! 😅
What time should this be consumed?
30 - 45 minutes before eating. Dissolve it in warm water, and drink it right away because it turns into a gel in about a minute or so. Make sure you drink plenty of water or you could end up with stomach cramping, abdominal pain, or constipation. Some people prefer to mix it in their protein shakes or smoothies, and they say it greatly reduces their appetite.
@@1234sexy4321 Yes, but the capsules work similarly, just probably not quite as quickly. You should take the capsules 30-45 minutes before a meal, and as with the powder, be sure to drink plenty of water
@@1234sexy4321 Do NOT dissolve it before taking. This is why it is an illegal substance in Australia. It's a big choking hazard. It should be taken as a capsule as intended with a large glass of water.
How long can you take glucomannan for
There's no time limit, as long as you aren't experiencing any problems.
Can you take Glocomannan with high blood pressure meds and vitamins? If so, how far apart should I take it?
Yes wash it down with 4 shots of Jim Beam whiskey.
@@rolltide9547 🤡
I´ve tried it two days, I feel bloated. Im not hungry though. I think I will use smaller portions in the future.
Made my stomach so bloated
Did you continue to use glucomman?
I found that just 1/2 gram a day before my meal is enough to eat less and have well formed eliminations. Any more and I am blowing gas all day.
Are you still taking glucomman?
What brand do you recommend?
I workout a lot but I still have excess fat around my stomach and thighs I could loose 28lbs would this be a good choice please . Age 51
👍
Glucomannan gives me the worst runs that last 1.5 days and that is from is from taking 1 pill or 1 teaspoon in powder form.
Can I use this while I’m fasting since it’s zero calories to avoid the hunger phase
It's not completely 0 calories but low enough that it's ok.
@@BrianYeungND another canadian here! i also want to use it in conjunction with intermittent fasting (8/16). would you recommend i take it with the last meal (6pm) of the day or anytime with no meal during the fasting when i feel hungry? thanks in advance
Does this come in a pill form?
Yes
Can someone use this while fasting? For example is you are doing 16/8 but would like to stretch your fast a bit longer?
Yes some people do that.
Yes
How does this compare with cinnamon
So wanted to try this until you said some people feel nauseous I already get nauseous from time to time and it’s not a good feeling so I’ll pass on this😩
Im paranoid to swallow them. Choking or stuck somewhere wrong
Can i take this with probiotics?????
I see no problem with that!
@@BrianYeungND groovy
Thanks
I read that konjac jelly contains carrageenan, which can become toxic when combined with the stomach acid therefore increasing a risk for cancer(s), I have already consumed some packets of konjac jelly so now i am a bit worried. Has anyone else read about this?
Any more information?
Where did you read this? Make sure you check the source of the article. People in Japan have been eating this for centuries, so What you say you read does not make sense.
Konjac root has been used in Asian cultures for hundreds of years and they have a longer life expectancy than the us. You have a way higher chance of dying from diabetes, high cholesterol, stroke, obesity, and so on than getting cancer from Konjac root that is natural and derived from a plant. Keep on feeding yourself with poison. I rather eat this than chicken that has been injected with steroids. Asians eat Konjac root everyday, it’s a key ingredient to make noodles and tofu. Monks sure do live long, they eat tofu everyday.
@@aliahraha5804 not centuries.... Since the 60s
Carrageenan causes inflammation and does not digest well.
All glucomannan is. , is fiber.
It's like psyllium and any other fiber. It absorbs water and gets bigger, and fills you up.
Fullness. Called watermelon. Called popcorn.
If glucomannan powder is mixed with protein powder is the protein still available for the body? Can it still be absorbed or is it useless?
It should be perfectly fine!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Tried this stuff in noodle form and in rice form. It tastes terrible, very fishy. I couldn't get on with it at all. ☹️
You need to rinse it well with water in a strainer and then dry fry it. Then it will be tasteless and absorb the flavor of whatever you add to it.
@@theresat947 I did rinse it extremely well. I didn't dry fry - that was not on the instructions on the packets.
“I’m doctor………YUK!!!!!
1 hour before your meal - with your meal and you will feel too full …
Yeah not a fan of these bc they gave me stomach issues.
Hello Dear 👋

Just drink more water,end of !
Makes me fart horrendously smelly farts , however i am also losing weight 😅
😆 🤣
Absorbs water. More. More. More. In the intestines now. More. More. I think this is called constipation.
I heard to take it 30 minutes before each meal
