Konjac is only known as a good weight loss product because konjac is low in calories (100g about 10 calories)
But weight loss to follow: energy negative balance, low glycemic index, rich in nutrients three principles! A single calorie restriction does not necessarily achieve the role of weight loss. When we talk about negative energy balance, we mean that the total calorie intake in a day is lower than the calorie consumption. We control the calories is the sum of all the food want to add, a single low-calorie food, can not guarantee that the total calories a day lower than the calories consumed!
1. High satiety
Konjac contains an amazing substance called glucomannan. Glucan-mannan has a water-absorbing expansion effect, after entering the body began to expand, so the konjac has a slow digestive speed, the characteristics of a strong sense of satiety, a lot of people to lose weight only eat a little bit of something at each meal, can be said to starve for a day and a night, and the majority of people fail to lose weight also because they can not control their hunger. Konjac perfectly solves this problem, so that people are not hungry can easily lose weight.
2, low calorie
Konjac is very low in sugar and fat, almost no calories. Under normal circumstances, if we want to eat a full dinner, eat about 500 kcal calories, if you eat a little konjac or konjac products before dinner, you can enhance the sense of satiety and reduce the dinner food intake.
Konjac is rich in dietary fiber, but also contains glucomannan, which can be described as a weight loss "magic" food, eat a strong sense of satiety, but also to a certain extent to alleviate constipation, for those who can not control their mouths is good news. Generally speaking, there is a significant weight loss effect after about 1 month, but it should be noted that during the weight loss period, you can not just eat konjac, otherwise it will damage your health.
Because konjac contains low calorie, it is not needed to meet the body's metabolism, but the body consumes enough calories to maintain life activities, the body will consume the body's stored fats and proteins to maintain normal life activities, which is the principle of weight loss, but this long-term development will cause different degrees of health problems in internal organs. In addition, insufficient calorie intake can lead to problems such as low blood sugar, anemia and low energy. And konjac contains very few nutrients, there is no way to meet our body's high demand for nutrients, if just long-term eating konjac on the health hazards is self-evident, so konjac weight loss methods must be scientific.
