1. The principle of konjac to lose weight

Konjac glucomannan has the characteristics of strong water absorption, high viscosity and high expansion rate. When it enters the stomach to absorb gastric juice or water, it can expand to 20 ~ 100 times of itself, which can greatly enhance satiety. It can also maintain the original level of blood lipid. The unique mechanism of soluble fiber regulating lipid metabolism can not only increase the rapid excretion of cholic acid, but also reduce the intake of fat and cholesterol.
