Lately, Lipozene has been advertised on T.V., and other areas, for weight-loss and to reduce body fat. As we all know, if anything helps reduce weight odds are pretty good that you will also lose fat. However, in this case the active ingredient is Amorphophallus Konjac Root, which I view as a natural supplement. I am very familiar with this ingredient, however I know it by its Japanese name “Konyaku”. My wife has been putting it in her food, and mine for many years. It increases fiber and swells in the stomach to give you that full feeling and yes it does work as a diet aid. The interesting thing is this, you can buy the pills for about $30.00, 60 pills or a 30 day supply if taken as directed. Or you can go to a speciality or Japanese food store and pick up konyaku for around $2.00 to $3.00 for a block, that is about 3/4 the size of a pound of block cheese. I usually see two types, a gelatin block, grey in color with what looks like little specks in it, and a whitish gelatin block. The packaging is usually a plastic bag filled with water and the Konyaku. Usually it is added to any style of soup, after having been cut into smaller slices, or it can be eaten cold as a compliment to fish. As far as I can tell there is not much taste too it, but it took me a while to get over eating a gelatin, for some reason I don’t like the consistency of it. With that said, if my wife fixes it I will eat it.
Bottom line, it works and if you want it, decide which style you like, Pill or Konyaku. You can have your supplements natural or from a bottle, you make the call.
