Glucomannan for Weight Loss
June 6, 2008 |
Definition of Dietary Fiber
The term dietary fiber refers to plant and nonplant (e.g. animal, fungal) dietary substances that cannot be digested by human gastrointestinal enzymes. [1] This is what glucomannan is.
Classification of Dietary Fiber
Dietary fibers are classified based on their solubility in water into either soluble or insoluble [1]. Fibers, which are used for weight loss, are generally of the soluble type. The technique of losing weight by supplementing dietary fiber is known by dieticians as Fiber Weight Loss.
