"Any one with "back end" problems will like this product -as well as anyone who is dieting.
This stuff holds water like no tomorrow and will create bulk in your stomach -helping you to feel full. It also pushes what you do eat through your system which helps you retain fewer calories."

Helps with Portion Control,

"I bought this product because I want to try to start eating less. I'd like to lose about ten pounds, but I have trouble with overeating and food cravings. I eat pretty healthy foods. Mostly vegan diet ( I eat fish, and obviously these pills aren't vegan). But I have never controlled my portion sizes and I never pay attention to serving sizes. And I always feel hungry. I take 3 pills at least 30 minutes before I plan to eat. They really do help you feel less hungry. This helps with portion control. I use to eat more than 2x more than i should in one sitting. Now, I can eat the recommended portion sizes ( for example: 1 plain veggie burger (no bread or anything), 1 cup brown rice, maybe 2 cups or less of veggies and water) and I actually feel full long before I can finish it. I honestly feel like i've eaten too much just eating regular food portions. And after eating I have no desire for dessert. I also eat more slowly because I don't feel like I'm starving at mealtimes. This has really curbed my food cravings. Eventually, I think your body gets used to eating less and you will naturally feel full not eating as much, and this has been a good tool for helping to get started with that. The only thing I don't like about this product is the smell. The smell of the capsules makes me gag, and it's difficult for me to swallow them. I have to hold my nose when I take them. I may switch to nature made vegetarian glucommannan capsules. Haven't had any bathroom issues so far; it's been a week."
