Glucomannan Makes Weight Loss Faster & Easier
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 06. 2024
- 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.
What brand did you get?
Hi Julie, I take Berberine also so I was wondering if you can take them together. Also it's only day 2 of taking glucomannan but I'm nauseous when I eat, is it common?
Yes what brand
Update?
Great info, I had to listen a second time because I was too focused on that hair sticking up, I want to comb it down LOL

Thank you so much for this vital information to assist me on longer, successful fasting!
Yupp! I've been using it in cooking for over a year now! It's great for thickening sauces 🙌🏼
Wow this is great
This video told me what others didn't. I want to start prolonged fasting again and want to take this to curb my appetite on fasting days. Now i know this supplement will be beneficial for fasting. Thanks.
How is it going?
@@Kiki-AndBeyond I have not purchased it as of yet
What brands
You’re the best doc! Thank you so much for this super helpful info💛
Thanks, Dr. Childs.
Just purchased your
Hypothyroid Bundle | 4 Supplement Combo for Thyroid Support! 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.
You are ahead of your time! Thank you so much for sharing. Watch this go viral soon. I have been watching all of your weightloss videos and have made a list. Im wondering if I can combine them? My favorites are berberine, glucomannan and probiotics. I want to take them together.
Glucomman has a per-biotic
Thanks for this conversation...seeing Dean Cain was wonderful. I've recently discovered his TV show and watched it .. wonderful show, a wonderful version of the Superman mythos.
I'm back into PgX also as Glucomman. I've taken ever Berberine i can find and no difference. I need something ton help me feel full and help with blood sugar. 😩 I pray this helps. Not able to afford Ozempic or any other of these meds.
Thank u for this video.
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.
You mentioned that you can provide a better suggestion on how to best take Phen. I can not seem to find it. Please let me know where to locate it. Thank you
Thank you for info , i am concern if can cause obestriction of colon , and dose can be use for pregnant women ????
Thank you!!!
Thanks
@Dr. Westin Childs How much L-glutamine and olive oil would you recommend to take with the Glucomannan?
What are you thoughts on Methylene blue ??
I’m being treated for hypothyroidism with Np and T3 is it ok to take your supplements while on meds?
Does it interfere with medication or supplements, and will it interfere with ketones or autophagy?
Anything that causes slow absorption slows medication and supplements as well
Wait at least 2 hours in between taking your medications and supplements
Okay, Dr. What is the best HR medication for hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism patients to take gir menopause
THANKS DOC.
Thanks a lot Dr. Childs🙏
Would you please make a video clarifing calcitonin hormone? Is it related to thyroid or parathyroid 🤔...I have hypothyroidism and since that I can't take vitD or eat any fatty food especially butter; my heart beats very fast and can't take breath easily 😢...how can I help myself? What blood work I should ask for? My Dr. Brushed my off and said just don't take vit D or eat butter and so. I'm sure that this is not normal. My allergist said after skin testing that it is not allergy! Please please talk about this topic!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
can you take berberine with thyroid meds at the same time during the day? will they not have negative interactions. please answer please please
Chia seeds and Konjac noodles.
I am taking Beta Glucan , soluble fiber from Rye.
How does chia seed compare to
thank you
Hi Doctor I'v only been taking these for 2 days but I get nauseous after eating, is this normal? Also are they safe to take with berberine?
Increasing good fats will keep you full as well. Lost 130 pounds doing keto/carnivore.
If i take the bundle 4 supplements from your line. Should i still take my Euthyrox
Does it have any effect on Synthroid absorption and thyroid hormone levels?
I don’t have a thyroid due to Graves, so I take Synthroid.
My levels were consistent until I started taking Berberine. Both my FT3 and FT4 dropped.
@christine3043 what time are you taking your thyriod meds? I take mine at night.
@@hibiscusrose6074..I take my Synthroid at 3am.
Csn i use both? I nned to do something about my blood sugar so im srating berberine. But gliccoman helps with my appetite, fills me up so i eat less.
Hi Dr does this work wemen in menopause
I started 2 days ago it works. Lots of water
Hi Doc i was undergo Total thyroidectomy last 2018 and i never take my levothyroxine since then, but i never feel any side effect or any problem to my body do you have a explanation for that?
Wait you have no thyroid and you take NO thyroid medication
@westinchilds I was in the hospital last week. The doctors think the cause was my thyroid. Can you help me please.
Can I take Berberine and Glucomannan as my daily supplements or can both be too strong if taken daily.
They work totally differently so it would be fine to take them both. I wouldn’t take them at the same time though.
@@Puglover130 thank you!!
Their mechanism is entirely different
Thank you for this informative video! Do you recommend taking the powder or the pill supplement?
Take the pill, the powder will be gooey and hard to chug down. Just drink 8oz of water when you take them to make sure they go down.
Hello Doc, can one take Berberine and Glucomannan together? Thanks
I do - no problems for me
@@TheGMRGIRL thank you.
Did it help with weight loss?
@@kennyu2073 Sure did lost over 20 pounds and counting :)
@@TheGMRGIRL did you make any lifestyle changes?
@@kennyu2073 yes it does and has for me. Its been a long process and no changes in diet habits or lifestyle changes. I feel like I eat healthy overall - The older I get the harder it is to lose weight - i didnt blve people when they said this - they werent lying. GL :)
Should u take this if you have hypothyroidism
It's not a filler It's fibre.there is nothing dangerous about it.
Yes it is try experimenting with out outside the body
My concern is that it feels like glue. I fear it interferes with medicines and absorption of minerals. Some went down my drain and I kept an eye and it stayed there days even as I washed dishes and even threw food down the drain. Does it also get stuck in the intestines? That’s my main concern.
It can't be stuck in the intestine forever because the intestine pushes its content downwards
@@riccardomallardo7779 Parts of it become like a glue. After a few days of the glucamman being in my drain while constantly getting hit with water, soap and food going into the garbage disposal, I manually removed it and it was hard like a plastic. It was completely glued to my drain. I can see it getting glued to some crevice of the intestines. Try it yourself.
Does it cause clogging ? my daughter have been using it for several days and drink plenty of water and she didn’t went to the bathroom for three days she don’t have any symptoms. She’s totally normal, but she didn’t went to the bathroom.
How much weight she loss in those days
@@markasaraswathi379 2 kg .. in 10 days .. she went to the bathroom thankfully ..
what if you've had gastric bypass RNY? Would it be ok to use Glucomannan?
In one of his otber videos i believe he said no😣
Glucomannan vs Berberine? Can i take both at the same time?
I have the same question too!
I did it and it worked well. Little cravings and Weightloss of 1.4 pounds per week. No exercise
I’m skeptical because I’ve been on Berberine for over 6 months and have had no effect at all. Now I am very hypothyroid due to thyroid cancer and can’t adjust my meds until my cancer is gone…..waiting. Waiting waiting…
I've been in ur place. It is absolutely no fun but it does get better after that time is up. It took me 5 yrs to find the right Dr to adj my meds.
@@loriowens5623 ...my Dr is willing to adjust but my labs aren't at zero yet. So I still have some active cancer. I did the RAI so have to wait 6 more months to give it time to clear. Once I'm at zero, he will start adjusting. Thank you for your response. I'm hoping by April that I'll be clear. Not fun...
Yeah, I think I should just stop taking berberine. I’ve not lost any weight on it, but I keep taking it because I think it will help with blood sugars. I’m not always able to do perfect keto anymore. I’m getting so burnt out I’m trying to take care of my health after so many years and now just to find out my thyroid has issues. Just another thing to deal with now.
I find that when I eat, sauerkraut and other prebiotic foods, vegetables, I get a distended belly as though I might have SIBO. I’m guessing this would not be good to take if that’s the case. I feel like I should do carnivore for a couple of months to try and reset things, but then carnivore is not good for hypothyroid either right? I just don’t know what to do. There’s so many variables.
Will it work if you have gastroparesis?
I won’t try . It looks and feels like glue. My concern is that it gets stuck in the intestines.
Hello. Please help. I just started taking levothyroxine 25 mg and all I’m dealing with is rapid pounding heart rate.. ALL DAY and night. Making it hard to sleep.. what should I do? Stop taking it? You opinion please? Also I’m on it cause I have many symptoms and TSH was 4.4 with normal other tests..
This means you need a medication adjustment. Please call your doctor.
The same happens if you eat/drink oats you get full so don’t eat a lot .
yes but the blood sugar effect is totally different
Can someone tell me if I mix it WITH the water or chase the dosage with water?
Pour lukewarm water then mix the amount it says. Chug it fast.
it gives you the shits big time but sure seems to help you get rid of fluid retention
Lmao
Just what I need so giddy up!
Sounds like Constipation incoming 😅
Sounds dangerous to me. I prefer teaching my body to make do without less instead of putting a filler inside me.
