Fibres to lose weight

Is it Necessary to lose weight? The fibers are very important because they promote the achievement of the feeling of fullness that bring about the reduction of appetite; moreover they reduce the absorption of fats and carbohydrates. The best fibres: Glucomannan, Guar seed flour and Nopal

Glucomannan

is a fibre of natural origin (extracted from the tuber of Konjac), is a non digestible food fibre having almost zero calories. It has able to absorb liquids and to expand up to 60-100 times. In addition to that, it reduces the absorptiion of fats and cholesterol. The intake of Glucomannan before meals promotes the achievement of the feeling of fullness bringing about a lesser appetite and, therefore, a lower intake of food. By reducing the absorption of fats and cholesterol, also calories are reduced.

Guar seed flour

is a soluble fibre, rich in polysaccharides of vegetable origin that has got the property to absorb liquids and to expand. Moreover, it reduces the assimilation of glucides and lipids at intestinal level. The intake of Guar flour before meals promotes the achievement of the feeling of fullness, bringing about a lesser appetite and, therefore, a lower intake of food.

Nopal,

a fibre extracted from Opunzia cactus, is able to capture fat melecules and to inhibit their absorption. It reduces the absorption of sugars. By limiting the absorption of fats and sugars, it reduces the intake of calories.
